I recently gave a presentation to the DC WordPress user's group on the five most common security mistakes I see WP users make. Slides are here, if you're interested in learning more:

(And if you're in the DC or NYC areas, I can present on this subject to your group too; feel free to ping me for more info.)
If you were wondering what you should do if you ever get an alert on your phone like the one folks in Hawaii got a few days ago, this piece I wrote a few years back has your answers https://jasonlefkowitz.net/2012/03/how-to-survive-an-atomic-bomb/
Heya, in 2018 I'd like to offer a free mentorship for one or two beginner artists from Masto. Anybody interested?
I'm a freelance artist, worked in board games and book illustration. I'm still learning and study a lot, but I feel competent enough to guide someone who's new to art.
Weekly assignments plus feedback/overpainting through stream. Critiques will be respectful and encouraging.
(boost plz)

@nire The place to start is learning how to write a solid five-paragraph essay: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-paragraph_essay
It's not a perfect form, but it's good for learning how to frame and support and argument.
@cwebber +1. I wrote a whole thing about this: https://jasonlefkowitz.net/2013/02/i-kind-of-hate-twitter/
@Elizafox My fave is the Stephen Mitchell translation: http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html
"Let the Tao be present in your life
and you will become genuine.
Let it be present in your family
and your family will flourish.
Let it be present in your country
and your country will be an example
to all countries in the world.
Let it be present in the universe
and the universe will sing.
How do I know this is true?
By looking inside myself."

@woodrad Packard Bell computers are still a thing?!? How on earth are Packard Bell computers still a thing
That's it, people. Mark this date on your calendar. We have officially reached peak Hacker News https://octodon.social/media/srXf5dbNKQzmDGq57lo
@Elizafox Which translation is this from?
I'm trying to think about how to come up with a decentralised emojo system
So I guess today I need to put more work into organising this #AndMyAxe thing.
So yeah, if any of you are interested in joining a group dedicated to cooperatively making open source stuff (hardware, software, writing, art, whatever) check it out. We are just starting so there is almost nothing there at the moment but I will be working on that throughout the day and if you want to help build this than that would be awesome.
I didn't know her. Natalie. And perhaps I don't know you. Or you, me. But we all seem tied together in some beautiful, strange way.
Because somehow I feel her loss. And it hurts me too.
@ink_slinger @natecull My guess: they have an internal app that they want to be able to push notifications at you, and the IT people decided it would be easier to just force Chrome to accept notifications from all sites than to figure out how to force it to accept notifications from just that one site.
