Many moons ago I used to run the #grafana security vulnerability handling. One day someone reached out with a variant of "I found an exploit in your codebase, normally I sell those to the highest bidder, but it's you so here's the PoC for free".

I have thought about this a lot over the years..

What gaggle of inane mouthbreathers would ever attack the @internetarchive #internetarchive?

I hope you ram your shins against a coffee table every single day for the rest of your collective lives.

babe are you ok you’ve barely touched your dashboard you specifically asked me to spend a week building

Not even remotely true, IME.

I was recently asked if the strong passwords that Apple Passwords generates contain ”gibberish two-syllable ‘words’”. I explain the answer to this question in a new post on my blog: https://rmondello.com/2024/10/07/apple-passwords-generated-strong-password-format/

My close friend @iris_meredith published this on corporate norms around "Who is allowed to know things" at companies. Tech debt isn't real unless someone in power affirms it in a PowerPoint.

I love it and have made the same point. On Hackernews, it was accused of being "extreme left wing content" and the author is trying to "seed violent ideas into the minds of mentally unstable people".

Read it, and if you liked it, please send Iris some positive vibes.

Having an emoji rendering issue in Linux led me to deep-dive into emojis internals. 🤷

So why not share it? 😅

Also, I learned that emojis can be joined together to produce other emojis, which is one of the cutest things in the emoji universe.

Dependency rejection is better than dependency injection.

WHY WAS IT CALLED SINGLE-SIGN ON WHEN SIGN-ON 37 TIMES PER DAY WAS RIGHT THERE

Reminder that #Vim and #Neovim have the special `=` register that gives you the result of an expression.

Most basic example would be a calculation. For example, I'm configuring the cache_size in the config file for davfs2. It takes a value in MiB. I'd like to set it to 50 GiB, so I can simply, in insert mode, hit Ctrl-R and then type

=50*1024

and hit return, and Vim will insert 51200.

See `:h @=` and `:h i_CTRL-R` for details.
