I have meetings today, so I need a professional T-shirt.

@systemstabilisatorin 🥰 wie süß! Ich mach dem Zehntklässler noch sein Brot, dass könnte er natürlich auch selber - aber von Mama ist schöner (wenn sie da ist)

This is from the POV of a Deaf person in the UK, but is applicable to disabled people in some other countries as well.

Whether you're in university or in the workforce, the learned helplessness of abled people preserved by systemic ableism shunts the burdens inherent in a rationing & policing system of "accommodations" onto the disabled person. And they you get judged for "not producing as much", as well.

We somehow went from "script kiddies are bad" to giving any random office worker the power to launch hundreds of programs that will hammer unknown servers across the web to make mediocre power point presentations.

Not to mention the massive usage spikes that are now hitting public software and data repositories.

What a world.

Today, in order to save me maybe 10 seconds each time I do postage, I am trying to set up CUPS to print directly to my printer from the server in London.

Yes, it should be possible…

No, it is not working…

Could take a while…

@hipsterelectron this is my new daily affirmation

A program is just a sequence of integers (p0 , p1 , ..., pn−1) (that code for instructions and data) to be loaded at a start address start.

"⁠One way to think about the climate crisis is that we are systematically reducing the margin on which we live on this planet. There were always places where humans couldn’t live: the Antarctic, the centres of the great deserts, the high mountains. But now we’re systematically adding to that list, as places become dangerously combustible, or overrun by rising seas, or just plain too hot. We’re shrinking the board on which we play the sublime game of being human....

A way to look at the work we’re doing together is that we’re trying to build some margin back in....

We were born onto a world with lots of margin, especially those of us who are older. The size of the game board was expanding back then, as we learned new ways to grow and store food and the like. But through short-sightedness and greed we began to shrink that buffer, and now greed and short-sightedness have become the cornerstones of government policy, along with pure and undiluted racism."

Das ist einfacher, als die Arbeiten zu lesen. Kennzahlen sind z.B. Journal Impact Factor, H-Index, Scimago Journal Rank. @brembs@mastodon.social konnte ironischerweise zeigen, dass diese (wenn überhaupt) für schlechtere Forschung sprechen: doi.org/10.3389/fnhu...

@dysfun but you just can’t buy servers with 64 CPU sockets anymore

Oh, hello #Sunset

North-Western Queensland; an area called Three Rivers. Beautiful. 22°C currently, minimum 13°C tonight; no wind, no rain.

The four organizations who maintain your favorite open-source DNS software, ISC, CZ.NIC, PowerDNS and NLnet Labs, gave a lighting talk at @dnsoarc 46 about the avalanche of LLM-assisted security reports for their projects, and the effect it has on us and our users.

The last slide ends on a “Hug your OSS maintainer" note, but
I think this is understating the gravity of this situation. II hope we put forward a stronger message during the repeat of this presentation at RIPE 92.

People need to consider that we are in a situation where developers with talent, purpose and experience have created something valuable for the internet community over the last 20+ years. They could have chosen to work at $MEGACORP for twice, three times the pay, but they chose to do something meaningful.

Now, the body of work they carefully designed and maintained over the last decades is being picked apart by an LLM. Yes, as a result the products become some definition of “more secure” but there is no reasonable prospect that this avalanche of reports will end. Ignoring them is not an option. Feature development has come to a halt.

As an employer, what am I supposed to tell my developers? Thanks for creating this amazing DNS software over the last 20 years, it looks like you’ll spend the next couple of years triaging and fixing bugs and coordinating CVEs with your peers.

How do we keep people motivated to do open source and even if we do, how do we keep this development model sustainable? We can’t pivot to the ‘agentic era’ just like that and even if we could, I think my colleagues do this job to create something amazing—artisanal if you will—not to to maximize output at all costs so shareholders get rich.

Practically though, encouraging organizations to purchase a support contract will certainly help on the short term, because:

- You will get access to world class support;
- You will get early security vulnerability notices under NDA, keeping your critical infrastructure safe from a whole new class of LLM fueled risks; and
- In the grand scheme of things, you will help keep this open source model sustainable so your favorite DNS software continues to exist and thrive.

pissed off that this guy got an nsf young investigator award even if he's literally the most deserving ever cause that should be me
