@jordyd @swiley UKULELES ARE NOT A CRIME
My new response if/when I'm in contact with law enforcement.

So there a lot of gay people following me. I don't mind that and think you're all great people, but I'm not gay so don't follow me just because you think I might be.

If what you're saying isn't original and constructive you probably shouldn't go shouting it.

(sorry for tooting something that isn't all that constructive, everyone seems so loud today though)

@swiley Absolutely not and ukuleles are not a crime

Apparently some of the math professors are now repeating the the story about how I got dragged out of class by the campus police for concealed carrying of a ukulele.

Is it wrong that I like the attention?

Friendly reminder: there are a ton of old, cheap Sun SPARC computers on eBay! They're really cheap because they're too slow for servers and too Windows-doesn't-run-on-it for the modern consumer!

DNS over TLS is a thing btw. You can shield your DNS from 3rd party listeners by providing all your DNS to some (single) company exclusively with pfSense. Choose your poison. netgate.com/blog/dns-over-tls- #servicetoot

@swiley PANDOC IS THE BEST! I love LaTeX typesetting but can't write in it raw.

TIL Chrome is scanning your files, including private folders, in the background as an anti-malware measure

There’s currently no “off” switch, but apparently the devs reassure that scans are local and not “cloud” based. But this still has consent and privacy implications

@cwebber @tom What's the saying?

"git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space."

All text editors suck. I'm gonna start writing code on paper and scanning it with OCR.

Welp, I'm haha, I did find an internet connection at least. I wrote a quick alarm program in C so my laptop will wake me up before they tow my car.

Coffee grinders can't be a good idea: I really don't feel qualified to operate something that can remove fingers before I've had coffee.

#introductions

Hello, I’m an ex-academic which means my main skills are giving presentations about nothing and writing papers about nothing.

I’m also an Infosec Guy currently working with automotive systems. Trying to upskill beyond my current niche. IDK what a Mimikatz is but it sounds fluffy.
