@GossiTheDog @Quinnypig Everyone gives me the side eye for running my own mail server, IRC, nextcloud, etc. I have seen this play before and it ends in tears. Trust no one.

@drhaywardj I am not recommending it for everyone. Sadly, I don't, but it helps that I work at Sophos and use my Sophos XGS firewall and our cloud email filtering to handle much of the heavy lifting. Managed my own mail server since 1999, so I am well steeped in my LDAP/Postfix/Dovetail nuances.

firefox will now track your searches by default and you'd have no way of knowing they're doing that unless you look for this random blog post on their website: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-search-update/

it does look like you can turn it off at least.

Is the PWHL dead in the States? Toronto at Minnesota and all the seats below the level of the camera are empty. Across the ice, looks pretty full. So did the arena move everyone to one side to give a Trump impression of the crowd? Cheap, really cheap. I expected more of a hockey state like Minnesota.

@Brian_Mahoney This isn't an uncommon practice for sports with lower attendance. Often BC Place will close the upper deck for Vancouver Whitecaps games, but open it for the BC Lions. Similar practice... Minnesota play at NHL sized Xcel Energy Center, so it might be tough to fill.

@Brian_Mahoney I went to the former arena of the Hartford Whalers for a minor league game ~20+ years ago and it was a bit spooky. A few thousand people showed up, but it looked and sounded empty. 5K is good turnout for many IHL/WHL games, but the arena made it very odd.

Followers in Vancouver who don't follow the media closely, there will be a loud fly over by the Snowbirds at 1900. Don't panic, protect your pet's ears if needed!

Before my Canadian followers watch the Vancouver Canucks take it to the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Arena, you can tune into CTV News and Global BC to hear my thoughts on the British Columbia PSC breach and where it might likely lead us. Expect to be on at 5 and 6 on both networks.

Commentary not included in 5pm news apparently, although info I shared was used in the stories. Always a gamble, maybe the hour long news at 6.

"our security is so bad that when we get hit we have to divert ambulances"

i dont want this to come off as "victim blaming" but if the head of security in that circumstance didnt have " have to divert ambulances" in their threat model as the person in charge of a healthcare org - they should be the next one in the hotseat in court getting grilled by the prosecution.

$5 says its related to "for profit healthcare"

@Viss If only someone had told them about this new type of attack they might have prepared a response plan.

As usual, RSA was exhausting, but I did win by not entering the conference centre. Met with so many amazing journalists and old friends that it was certainly worth the trouble. Thank you to everyone who spared some time to spend with me.

So my #arch #linux just catastrophically self-destructed. I was using arch with the yubikey full-disk encryption package, when the machine hung and crashed during a system update. The machine crashed exactly after the old initramfs files were cleaned up, and before the new ones were written to disk. Since the yubkikey fde thing stores the seed ("challenge") for the luks key in the initramfs, all copies of the seed are gone now, and the data on that disk is unrecoverable.

@jaseg That is a terrible design. Thanks for the warning, will avoid

Dear BC United. Running TV ads saying you have a plan to end BC's public safety crisis is not the same as having an actual plan. If you can't address the toxic drug crisis, which you have promised to make worse, you are simply full of hot air.
