This week, LastPass, and its parent company GoTo, both published blog posts about their recent data breach: http://tcrn.ch/3ucMvBx

But if you search for GoTo's blog post in Google, you won't find it, because GoTo hid its breach notice from search engines using "noindex" code.

The cloud is just someone else's computer, power, cooling system, underwater sea cables, networking equipment, data center and the land it sits on, control plane with support for Terraform, insurance policies, roadmaps, and a whole lot of people to build, secure, monitor, and support all of the software that runs on top.

Not sure how I feel about this year's Spotify Wrapped

This old Garfunkel and Oates bit is so good.

My partner surprised me with an advent calendar and I can't stop laughing 😂

Mastodon will break 8 million users by tomorrow!

7,925,283 accounts are active.

>2,000 new accounts are being made every hour.

That's 1 million new accounts being made since a week and a half ago.

About one year of every #systems PhD is dedicated to learning -- the hard way -- to enable TCP_NODELAY.

After a couple notable incidents of this, I wrote "IT'S ALWAYS THE NAGLE ALGORITHM" in large letters on the UW systems lab's whiteboard to serve as a warning to others.

#chatgpt is helping me update this warning for a modern audience. Or a 19th-century one.
