It is an open secret that admissions standards at selective colleges are lower for men to equalize the # of men and women on campus. This is another way men learn that they can be mediocre and still succeed, while women must attend the highest standards.

Following #React2Shell, two new vulnerabilities were found in React Server Components: one enabling Denial of Service, another allowing source code (and hard-coded secrets) to leak!
We've received a 2nd IPv4 /24 subnet from ARIN for our 2nd anycast DNS network. Both our /24 subnets were obtained quickly under the NRPM 4.10 policy for IPv6 deployment for our dual stack DNS use case. 2nd was obtained without waiting 6 months due to being a discrete network.
We host our own authoritative DNS servers to provide DNS resolution for our services. Authoritative DNS are the servers queried by DNS resolvers run by your ISP, VPN or an explicitly user chosen one such as Cloudflare or Quad9 DNS. We now have our own AS and IP space for this.

Bridging has been a bit slower than usual, on and off, for the last few days. Apologies all! It should be mostly back to normal now, we’ve put some workarounds in place, and we expect to have a more permanent fix within a day or two. Sorry for the trouble, thank you for your patience with us!

I'm trying to shift my perspective from "there was a glorious computer revolution that empowered the user and disrupted authority and we have fallen from the heights of its transcendental grace" and towards the more accurate "my formative years just happened to coincide with a period where a few technical innovations briefly conferred a small amount of power on individuals and labor, and capital has been efficiently reversing that small disruption ever since" but it sure doesn't *feel* like that

“the Los Angeles central public library bustled with nearly 100 people making zines…People of all ages, from all regions, are making, printing and distributing zines on the streets, in libraries and at local gathering spots…
Zine-makers and enthusiasts say that people are likely embracing the pen-and-paper medium again due to social media censorship, surveillance, doxing and the alleged suppression of certain topics on algorithms…
‘I have to do something. I can’t just sit home, looking at my phone and reading all the bad news. I have to get out there, be with people, and do something tangible.’…
through zines, you learned how to self-manage your own abortion…Every generation has the information that is relevant to their cultural space that they’re in, and zines are always going to speak to that, because those folks who are on the margins are looking for ways to connect…

#WritersCoffeeClub Dec. 11 – How do you keep track of plots and subplots?
On some level I don't find it hard because I think of characters like when I'm managing a #ttrpg campaign, so I kind of keep it in my head who's doing what even when they're not in the forefront, and when they or their doings will burst into the narrative. I've been complimented on how alive and dynamic the characters and world feel for this reason.
On the other hand I tend to be fuzzy on specific timelines and distances, and handwave a lot of such details. I've gotten by on writing even very long fic this way, but for the big WIP I may need more concrete timelines, maps and so on to keep track of everyone and everything more concretely. I don't want to go overboard with it and in fact it's a mild running joke in this world of 1st century BCE NE Asia that time isn't always accurately tracked, so I may be able to get away with some handwavy-ness 🤞 #HistoricalFiction

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.
But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.
