Oh that lovely season where there's a nice cool breeze through the window, but I can't keep any paper on my desk without it flying away.

@WTL Only in the last half hour. I think the sun just moved to the other side of the house as it sets. It's been a scorcher.

Haven't seen a good old fashioned SRB jettison in a long time. That takes me back.

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.

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

shawnhooper, 5 days ago

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

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

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.

@GossiTheDog Is the Live Nation hack related to this?

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.

shawnhooper, 19 days ago

@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.

shawnhooper, 19 days ago

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