The problem with slack at work is that I can't search through past archives, nor can I label things, etc.
Solution: Turn on all email notifs of activity, and cut and paste anything important into an unsent reply on that notification.
Then they're in my emails with all the other archival stuff I search through as needed 😣
Seriously. What keeps me from doing something like putting tabs on an address I know about because I'm an asshole white male stalking my ex girlfriend??

In other words, how is the USPS verifying that you are entitled to this information? I almost feel like I need to sign up for this solely to prevent *someone else* from doing this.

Signs of manager-itis:
Me: I've got this info set up-
Mgr: well the person using it will probably need (speculates on all kinds of fancy formats; mine is a simple one-per-line)...
Me: what exact format do you need?
Mgr: I'll have the person contact you.
Me: waits for two months
Person: oh hey, that info
Me: Yeah, it's one line per, mgr told me you wanted something else?
Person: NO THIS IS GREAT I'VE ALREADY GOT IT THANK YOU.
Me: /thinking <shoulda just CUT MGR OUT OF THIS CONVO TWO MONTHS AGO>
So. How's your day been??
And then the final piece of joy on this: Since PIA and Dreamhost are no longer talking to each other, I have to disconnect my VPN each time I check the relevant website here. I need to file more complaints with both of them.
I fully confess: part of my reply included the exact date on which I made the info originally available.
Now I'm even more cranky after dealing with the ALARUM. I wrote the freaking info-miner BEGINNING of Feb. That's TWO MONTHS of them faffing about before panicking.
What you should not forget is that: public posts are public, private posts may still be public if sent to dishonest servers, DMs are not protected by encryption and rely on both involved instance's honesty.
If you allow everyone to follow you your data may get mined just as on the commercial platforms.
If you have a commercial bot (in disguise) in your followers, it will see and mine those toots.
Just being a federation is no silver bullet to the privacy issue. But ou aren't the product anymore.
I wonder how many years it will take before the next penny drops:
That the contents of your server RAM, on a cloud computing environment, are much like your personal details on Facebook.
Interesting & exploitable.
<<For too long consumers have thought about privacy on Facebook in terms of whether their ex-boyfriends or bosses could see their photos. However, as we fiddle around with our profile privacy settings, the real intrusions have been taking place elsewhere.>>
If you think 'well, Jeff Bezos doesn't report to anyone except the US Government'
Then you have two threat actors. And you might ask: "what would Jeff Bezos like to do with all his power? What has he used it for so far? How has he acted? Who restrains him?"
If you think "nobody seriously would scrape my AD credentials / my SSL private keys / my Bitcoin wallet"
Just remember so many people thought that about "viruses" too.
But algorithms, like viruses, don't have to be targeted to do damage.
End of Feb, Me: Here's that info you wanted?
Beginning of March: "So and so will contact you about getting this info in the format they want from you, so let them tell you what they will need."
Me: /waits thru march with crickets.
Today: ALL ALARUMS ON DECK BECAUSE WE NEEEEEEDZ THIS INFO NAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWW!!1!
Me: /raises one eyebrow
Me: /returns to reading my book
Mwahahahaha...I can log mosh connections using iptables.
For my next tricks, can I get logwatch and/or auditd to note them?
Linux experts/admins!
Is there a way to monitor mosh connections? Logwatch for example will tell me about failed and successful connections for ssh but I can't seem to find anything about mosh. All my google-fu is coming up with are starry-eyed LOOKIT THIS COOL THING WOWOWOWOWOW...
Ugh. I realise mosh is a udp stateless thing, which really is annoying.
Hmmm, maybe an iptables rule to log udp stuff on the mosh ports?
Just updated a wordpress install from 3.3.1 to 4.9.4
Not really recommended o.O
Am now fending off a mansplaining user who is trying to tell me how https works
I need a throwing shade gif here
Just snarled at the dipshit who keeps pacing in front of my office door making me look up every effin time to see who's coming by. PACE SOMEWHERE ELSE
What does it say about me that I have very little to say here when I have a self-imposed gag rule on discussing politics 😕
