Some salty script-kidde using "Krebs on Security" as the user-agent string for their bot is rather amusing.

Happy birthday to #Slackware Linux. Cheers to 31 years.

To the person who keeps filling my mailbox with handwritten letters about Jesus being the greatest gift: I'm praying each night that Satan's coming for you 🤘

#Apple magical thinking: "Actually, 8GB on a MacBook Pro is probably analogous to 16GB on other systems" 🙃 https://m.primal.net/JJQL.png

The masters of #blackgaze are out with a new album, and you know that can't be bad. Les Chants de l'Aurore by Alcest.

I watched episode 3 of The Acolyte, and when I thought this show could not possibly become worse, Disney again exceeded all my expectations.

Ulcerate's latest offering is progressive death #metal at its finest. Cutting the Throat of God. https://ulcerate.bandcamp.com/album/cutting-the-throat-of-god

Today is my first anniversary on Nostr. I don't feel a year older, but maybe slightly dumber 🙃

What happens when a developer sells his popular open-source project to a company looking to monetize the application? Nothing good, nothing good at all.

How did I miss this performance? Unplugged in Belgium by Saor. From an acoustic show in 2019 in Antwerp Belgium. https://saor.bandcamp.com/album/unplugged-in-belgium

Photobucket, now there's a name I haven't heard in an eternity. And what kind of shakedown is this? I have to pay five bucks to see if I have any content stored on their service 😂
Note to self: If a service was free yesterday, that likely means your data will be held hostage for money at some point in the future.https://m.primal.net/IKIa.png

Mind Burns Alive by Pallbearer was released today and you want it 🤘 https://pallbearer.bandcamp.com/album/mind-burns-alive

For a change of pace, Patrick Volkerding wasted no time rigorously testing the #Linux kernel 6.9 before rolling it out with Slackware-current 😮

2024-05-11 12:41:00

I paid five bucks to join #Farcaster and all I got was a shadowban 😁 By design, Warpcast shadowbans every new user. #Nostr is better!

I think Threads just might be my favorite social media platform for no apparent reason 😁 https://m.primal.net/IEtn.png

This repository is now trending on Github: https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB
It seems like #Microsoft once again has chosen to turn a deaf ear to user feedback.

2024-05-01 11:32:27

For the first time since installing #Ubuntu Pro a year ago, Livepatch has fixed kernel vulnerabilities on one of my servers. Thank you for the free service Canonical, I guess.

My #Arch Linux-based webserver had the backdoored xz package installed. I feel violated. Bleeding edge huh? Currently installing Windows Server 2022.... or not.

2024-03-29 00:39:22

Metal Friday recommendation: The Way Of Ancients by Volcandra. How about some Kentucky melodic black #metal? Got this one off of "The Best Metal on Bandcamp, March 2024", and I gotta say I enjoyed it.

So, I logged into #Vultr today and was greeted by their TOS update. Can anyone recommend a new and comparable cloud provider?https://m.primal.net/HpOk.png

2024-03-25 12:31:50

Nocturnal Will by Dödsrit is a pretty pretty pretty good #black #metal album.

I'm thinking of picking up God of War (50% off) from my Steam wishlist, but does it run on #Linux?

2024-03-17 21:03:38

Arch Linux wasted no time on rigorously testing kernel 6.8.1 before shipping 🤓

2024-03-16 23:10:06

Apparently, it's of great importance to Akamai that I wait 30 seconds before filling in my 2FA code after logging in with Linode. Challenge validation, really? I don't need this kind of bullshit. Service canceled.

It is Bandcamp Friday! Time to add something new to my #metal collection 🤘

2024-02-27 15:47:37

I hate these conferences and events where mingling is a part of the official schedule. I don't want to mingle, ever!

Maybe Brian Ortega will never see UFC gold, but man the guy has some serious fighting spirit. What an inspiring performance 👍

My Apple watch clocked in a 15-minute sleep session while I was at the office working yesterday. I was completely unaware, and now I fear that I have become a victim of inception 😨

2024-02-17 18:42:50

Just what I've always been missing in my life. An emotional AI assistant. Don't be sad Microsoft Copilot, it's not you, it's me.

I'm feeling rather jolly today. Does anyone want an invite to Bluesky (that other social network)?

2023-12-05 23:14:46

Why go to work when there are still Nicolas Cage movies that I haven't seen yet 🤔

2023-11-19 12:29:28

Them Nostr web clients are close to getting usable 👍

With Bellator apparently folding, how about Cyborg vs Rousey as the main event on the UFC 300 card?

I tried the Arch guided installation (archinstall) for the first time today. It was quick and easy work. Now anyone can have a vanilla Arch Linux installation up and running in 15 minutes. This is the (not recommended) way 👍

Ah, I realize my own mistake. X domains are where the money's at 😁

Anyone got an opinion on Unstoppable Domains? I bought a .crypto domain three years ago, and it's still worthless with zero usability 🤑

2023-06-03 12:21:04

Hi there, I'm Just another run-of-the-mill geek who's into open-source and decentralization.
I'm very excited to be able to try out Bluesky 😁
