At one point, my spouse confessed to me that she worried that I had a road woman. I mean, I was gone 4 weeks out 5 for a *year*, and to the same place.

And I was *shocked*, and it was in the moment, and I know you're gonna judge me, and I know it was not quite the right thing to say, but what I actually said was this: "Another woman? I already have the best model, and I'm not that happy with it, why would I want two?"

Oh my God. Talk about *froze out*.

@aj @jamesh yep, geelong loves a car

trying out vscode in the browser and it gives me this little nugget lol

People don’t get that how far a bit of courtesy and effort goes in job hunts. I have gifted conference passes, party invites, given referrals, certification vouchers, and internships to mentees who showed up and cared. I’ve also permanently blocklisted people who low effort AI spammed, or no showed.

Grease me!

@xssfox also, not that being able to get a car park after 7am will actually do anything about getting to the city on the train. From Rockbank, either you’re on the train at about 7am, or you’ll need to wait until about 9:30am for the crush-loads to subside.

Science communication pro-tip I learned from setting up my telescope+solar filter on the sidewalk outside the library in a nearby small town this afternoon: you get much more positive reaction from asking "Do you want to look at sunspots?" than "Do you want to look at the Sun?"

Also, everybody who looked through the telescope was really excited about what they saw. That was fun!

New, exclusive, by me: LG to Ban Residential Proxy Providers from Smart TV Apps

The home appliance giant LG Electronics USA said this week it plans to suspend any apps built for its smart TVs that turn one’s television into an always-on residential proxy node. The move comes less than a month after researchers found that more than 42 percent of games and other apps available for download on LG’s webOS store allow unknown third-parties to route their Internet traffic through a user’s TV.

this next part (same page, next paragraph) is shockingly arrogant:

Malleability. We also see no relevance of “malleability” to the standard definition of signature security.

malleability is a concept defined directly in terms of challenge-response schemes, which generalizes information-theoretic measures defined for single-message encryption to systems in which keys are reused across messages. it is in fact very relevant to signature schemes, because (informally) the very concept of cryptographic identity refers to the reuse of asymmetric key material—this is integral to the standard conception of public and private keys (keypairs).

“An EV charger's charging port is a network port. We found SSH and Telnet services exposed on XCharge C6 chargers with default root:root credentials. A threat actor with a malicious EV can gain immediate full control access on the charger and perform energy theft or potentially cause physical damage.”

Just amazing.

In the beginning the Internet was created.

This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
