@xerz I'm not sure. The project appears to be hosted only on a server that's not around right now, so I can't look and see.The edges of it I can see imply that executable content isn't welcome on that project, which is the dual of what I'm wondering about here (where we have a "web browser" core tech box that is not for browsing hypertext, but rather reusing the underlying and mature tools for event driven visualization to propose a replacement to modern GUI toolkits in a way that's much easier to provide a security model and language agnosticism for.

@xerz What site are you checking? I searched for "alcinnz" and "rhapsode" and got exactly 3 hits, all of which referred to https://git.nzoss.org.nz.Which, as you can see, is quite unreachable for me.

The thing that makes someone an expert in infosec or cryptography is not a certification, or special training, or a phrenological explanation of IQ, or whatever. You can find examples of security and cryptography minded people in all fields without any one thing except: engagement with the subject matter like it matters.This is why I think I'm so angry at the world of cryptography with its "never do anything but what we tell you" strategy. This is not how you get people to engage with the material in a thoughtful and safe way.And as time has gone on, this results in a growing crisis.

It isn't that everyone needs to be a cryptographer or a infosec specialist. But I think most people need to be able to *consume that work intelligently* to make software in 2022.But the reality is almost no one does, so we end up with these parceled and formulaic approaches to infosec that are often insufficient, and we socially penalize curiosity or inquisitiveness because "this is not your lane, React Developer" or whatever.But it is our collective lane, as people who make software. And we should all engage with it.

Looking forward to the new year so I can do my yearly reminders about sort time complexity again.

I'm currently getting these toots out via a quickly improvised bridge to sfwem, using the dregs of a big camping battery I had in storage. It'll probably last an hour or three. I'm using this to send emails out to work and whatnot. There's power at the office, but I can't really abandon my family to all this damage and no power to go charge things up at the office.

@tek what objection could they possibly have, though?

@tek I have one and I'm still kinda trying to find a use for it. I tried to use it to play around at Disney World but I couldn't get it to do very much interesting.

@tek If Tesla's pop with consumer NFC that's comical. Disney hotel locks don't.

Look, I get that I'm extremely cool for an old person and very tapped into pop culture. But I got to admit that I'm a little bit stressed out by the fact that I see 17 year olds walking around with a giant picture of Sasuke's sharingan on the back of their sweatshirts like that's a current reference.Are millennials doing memetic violence to late zoomers early alphas? It seems like that might be the case, culturally.

YouTube randomly recommended to me a video of a Linux YouTuber who said he's not racist. There was a complaint at his work about him being racist at work, but he absolutely was not racist and his resignation from said job (he assured us) is because he was so mad at being accused of racism.He goes on to explain how the video evidence exonerates him, and that really he's the victim of racism because the back woman who filed the complained profiled him as a racist. And I'm just thinking to myself, "Is there a 'shitty white guy youtuber playbook' where people all get these template responses from?

Once again I watch Redis ruin people's tech stacks.Ffs that program has always been garbage. It is bad to use if you care about reliability.

I know I'm at a good Japanese restaurant when I'm the only white person there during the lunch rush.

Part of the reason I use Linux fulltime these days everywhere is that I don't want to have to care, feed and water my computer.Ironically, Linux with its culture of frequent reinstallation, careful factoring of data, and excellent backup tools means that I care a *lot* less about the health of any given computer. If it misbehaves, I simply reinstall it. If I come to learn a new configuration or distro would better suit my needs, it's seldom very hard to switch (unless the distro is deliberately obscure).This is precisely the opposite impression many people have, but I think Linux as a desktop environment (especially outside of laptops and on minicomputers) is really fire-and-forget these days. In a way that Windows isn't, because it's so difficult to capture all the ways Windows can be customized. Similarly, MacOSX machines really don't have any alternative configurations to switch to and you're penalized for deviating, so if you have problems you need to suck it up or spend a fair amount of money on solutions.

*sigh* I miss ya all. But every time I show up here I find a lot of stuff I can't really contribute to anymore.I feel very disconnected lately. Also, my anxiety has been so bad.

I've been afraid to sleep lately because I have dreams of being homeless with my wife when I'm 65.

So I like to say that my mental health is way better since leaving :birdsite: and I think overall it is. But also I have the space to realize I used :birdsite: as a way to wall off my anxiety and now that I don't have that, I have to deal with it a lot more directly."Feeling bad or scared? Go argue on twitter" was an easy way to transfer my feelings and feel like I was doing something good. Which is not a healthy way to deal with things, but it was a way to deal with things.Now that I don't have that, I've had to come up with new strategies and be a lot more careful of my mental state.
