I just saw a post that referred to ChatGPT as "Mansplaining as a service", and it is so wonderfully correct - instant generation of superficially plausible yet totally fabricated nonsense presented with unflagging confidence regardless of topic without concern, regard or even awareness of the expertise of its audience :D #chatgpt #mansplaining

Friends, is the fact that the Humble bundle that has my "The Book of PF" along with a number of other good titles, the "Dive into DevOps" bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/books/dive-into-dev-ops-no-starch-books has sold more than 8,000 bundles and made more than CAD27,000 for the charity a cause for celebration or should I hold off until we see rounder numbers? #devops #openbsd #freebsd #sysadmin #security #networking

Anyway the bundle runs until June 10th 2024, so get your clicks and cards ready!

The cryptobros are getting desperate it seems.

Several attempts during the last week at "Blockchain Technology" comment spam at my "Forgotten Blockchain account ..." piece https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2022/09/your-forgotten-blockchain-account.html (trackerless https://nxdomain.no/~peter/forgotten_blockchain_account_scam.html), and yesterday, a local-language (.NO) robocall campaign saying basically the same things as in the article. #bitcon #bitcoin #cryptocurrency #cryptoscam #scam #cryptobros

I am of course delighted to see people finding my #OpenBSD piece https://nxdomain.no/~peter/what_every_it_person_needs_to_know_about_openbsd.html, but I think the good people at #APNIC did an excellent job editing the thing into three more easily digestible chunks starting with https://blog.apnic.net/2021/10/28/openbsd-part-1-how-it-all-started/ #openbsd #needtoknow #security #internet

For those of you wondering what happened to the #PF #tutorial slides, the new home for the slides is at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/pf_fullday.pdf - as PDF for reasons only to be discussed over refreshments when we meet.
