Very big cyber incident playing out at Snowflake, who describe themselves as “AI Data Cloud”. They have a free trial where anybody can sign up and upload data… and they have.

Threat actors have been scraping customer data using a tool called rapeflake, for about a month.

I wonder if I could get rid of my beard and just have a moustache without looking like a white supremecist?

@grmpyprogrammer I think at a minimum you’d need a goatee if you’re going to have a moustache.

My partner calls most of the videos I watch on YouTube "Book Reports for Adults" and.... they're not wrong. I can't get it out of my head now.

Confirmed: if you leave music equipment in your car and accidentally leave a door open, that gear will be stolen.

@jmichaelward @stevegrunwell 99% of the time I’d be okay with no key fob. Just a key.

@jmichaelward Ouch. That sucks. Sorry.

my landlord is making folks pay via a new “rewards app” where we “score points for cool stuff” when we pay our rent.

wtah?! it looks like some kind of new age pyramid scheme

Hey - When you fill up your gas tank, do you see the Carbon Tax listed as a separate line item on the receipt?

I just got home from ours that shows Regular Gas, and the Carbon Tax. Weird to split it out, but not the other taxes built into the gas price?

I can’t believe how pervasive Ring doorbells have become. (Never mind all the other brands out there.)

They’re everywhere.

I don’t like it.

@Auxonic @casseagull Huh, I was just browsing through Ubiquiti's products last night. That's the same direction I'm thinking.

@casseagull I go for late night walks. The glowing doorbells in the dark - so ominous.

I understand having surveillance with porch thieves etc. but dear god, use something with local storage. Don’t send it to the cloud.

A related question:

I just noticed that stuff on my blog (which was hosted on URLold and now is hosted on URLnew) still points to URLold.

A quick inspection has shown that this is not a cache issue. When I look into the database, I can see that Wordpress introduced hard links for images like URLold/path/to/whatever/foto.jpg and similar stuff for other content.

The probably dumbest solution would be to replace all appearances of URLold with URLnew using sed or just an editor but ... there must be a better way? They cannot make their users edit the data base when the site migrates from URLold to URLnew. Right?

RIGHT?

shawnhooper,
@shawnhooper@fosstodon.org avatar

@holger A search and replace is in fact the solution. But you need to beware of URLs stored in serialized PHP arrays. Doing a simple search and replace will break them.

I would use WP-CLI’s search-replace command to do this safely.
