  1. Is anyone making a good electronics project box that plugs directly into the wall, has a small switching power supply, and provides a good +5V to the enclosed electronics project?

  2. Ha ha. Twitter. But at least it's something inconsequential like social media, which is inherently not tangibly-immediately dangerous. Imagine if this was space ships, energy storage, or car-robots! …what's that you say?

  3. I can’t wait to watch this new Netflix reality series where they let a 12 year old pretending to be the world’s richest man run Twitter.

  4. If I had to resort to using customer support because your online information was insufficient for me to help myself, you should maybe not also try to get me to do more work by appending a survey to the end of the flow. Happened to me twice, today. Both big-five tech companies.

  6. It would have been Aaron Swartz's birthday yesterday. I hadn't seen this documentary before. (CW: suicide )-: ) zei_squirrel/1590395182482345984

  7. "The Kubernetes project costs >= $300k/mo in compute and storage to run." 👀 …I know it's not exactly Oranges-to-Oranges, but… I'm curious what it costs, these days, to run all of the infrastructure for, say, the PSF (including PyPI), or php.net…

  8. "You had it coming; it's your fault" feeling also applies to non-crypto "payments" in bird-site land. coates/1443292978634702852

  9. It's-not-here and the associated cultish leadership weirdness aside, "Delete and Redraft" might be the best feature of Mastodon. (It deletes and puts the previous "toot"'s (ugh) text into the same creation context UI, so you can resubmit.) (Irony: needed this feature for this.)

  10. Is it just me that feels like "suspended permanently" is an oxymoron and it sounds super weird? "Suspend" suggests the action takes place for a period of time before reverting to the non-suspended state…

  11. It's weird to watch someone do to Twitter what it felt like other people have been doing to Twitter for the past 10 years.

  12. I've been using scoat.es for local (LAN) hosts. I recently started also using it for Mastodon. I've used http:// URLs on my LAN for years now. But since Firefox now knows it's https:// scoat.es it tries to force https on local http URLs. Help?

  13. Duplicity on my Synology DSM recently (last month or so) stopped working (error on HeadBucket). Seems changing the s3://host/bucket style URL to boto3+s3://bucket fixes it. Painful to search for this kind of failure. Might help someone…

  14. Corpse Reviver no. 2s tonight with lemon super juice I made on September 19th. Nearly 2 months old and holding up. Truly impressive.

  1. Before you switch a developer from the thing they're working on to another thing, pretend that it's a 2h drive to the other job, + 2h back.

  2. Never trust a developer who tells you that any of the following are easy: Unicode, dates/times/time zones, threading, DNS, IPv6, debugging.

  3. I feel horrible for this kid. This could have been me. Or many of you. Who among us hasn't changed the ?id=149283 part of a URL to see what happens? The fault here lies with the developers, managers, and curators, not the curious. cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/freedom-of-information-request-privacy-breach-teen-speaks-out-1.4621970

  5. For a pet project, I'm looking to list out some women who were active and influential in the web from 1995-2002, and not coming up with very many. Enlighten me, please?

  6. “I don’t care if they spy on me—I’m not doing anything illegal.” was always broken logic, but it’s especially dangerous when “legal” suddenly becomes “illegal”, despite years of precedent. Protect your data and your communication.
