    Has anyone got any good resources/articles/videos on licenses and specifically Linux (What are we on now, GPL3?) vs #bsd ?

    @marick@mstdn.social yes, it&#39;s fake. Check the comments. A satire/meme fake AMA account.

    RE: https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/117071188685354534 I feel like I need to go back to my old habit of using a live distro for anything involving finance or personal data.

    You young&#39;uns &#39;ave it easy. Back in my day you upgraded your OS on the command line and spent the next week fixing shit. None of this cute &#39;gui takes care of everything, just gimne a password&#39; nonsense. &#39;Just works&#39;. Pffft, you people don&#39;t know you&#39;re alive. Oi! Git off my lawn!!!

    Went to see The Odyssey. Bloody Amazing. I&#39;m calling it for a swag of Oscars. It was also the most beautiful quality movie - at the standard cinema - that I&#39;ve ever seen. So crisp and bright. Going to be a let down going back to the usual blurry digital movies.

    @tonyg@pubsub.leastfixedpoint.com I don&#39;t understand enough about display management to, well, understand this, but I do know my computer runs fast and hot when I try to play games like EVE Online and apparently framerate is the problem, and it&#39;s somehow to do with not having enough to render so running too fast. Counterintuitively.

    God I hate these compulsory learning tickbox things. Condescending videos and bullshit quizzes.

    The academic integrity professional learning module I&#39;m doing says &#39;most students want to complete their studies with integrity&#39; is true. Having just marked two subjects, I can assure you that this is not true. More than half the class do not give a shit. Your module is wrong. They say they want to, but they just don&#39;t want to get caught cheating and don&#39;t want to see themselves as cheats.

    I&#39;m having a big attack of &#39;leave my cool thing alone&#39;. I think it&#39;s not quite gatekeeping, but when something you appreciate gets popular, it gets watered down and misunderstood and attacked. I&#39;ve been doing quite a bit of defensive &#39;well actually&#39; this week. Well at least a lot of classical scholars will be getting some publicity on their profiles, and booksellers should be doing a roaring trade.

    Watching an almost unwatchable (hyped and choppy) video about deGoogleing and the ubiquity of corporate surveillance. And while I kinda knew most of this stuff at some level, being a keen student of infosec and Doctorow fan, it&#39;s kinda depressing when you see it all concisely drawn together. It&#39;s inescapable. It really is. Resistance is token at best. I&#39;d argue we&#39;re obligated to try. But your life is now corporate property.

    RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/116843611946347941 saving this for laters. Oh dear no don&#39;t encourage me, I do NOT have time to be messing around with hardware. I gave away a massive box of electronics components a couple of years ago. Do still have a soldering iron.

    Well, I&#39;ve successfully installed FreeBSD. so that&#39;s fun. :freebsd: Now what?

    Gotta say, the single most useful piece of tech I have is a little Netgear wireless dongle. So often Linux (or now, BSD) doesn&#39;t recognise the onboard wireless, but plug this little device in and I have wifi on install. I can then configure the onboard later, usually, once I can download the requisite firmware.

    There&#39;s a whole lot of life stuff I need to do that I do not want to do. There are small things, like going to gym and calling a plumber, and big things, like having some health tests, and doing taxes, and applying for jobs. At this moment I can&#39;t even muster the will to get off the couch. It&#39;s cold. I do not want to do any of this.

    Had a crack at installing freeBSD on my old Lenovo Yoga - no joy so far; I need to work out how to configure the network interface, and the zfs setup which I&#39;m clueless about. Gosh it&#39;s a while since I&#39;ve had to RTFM!

    Threatening Amnesty International. Just when you think JK Rowling couldn&#39;t sink any lower in your estimation, she somehow manages to do so. What a reprehensible person.

    A &#39;stakeholder&#39; in the delivery of education is using an AI scan for keywords to determine the adequacy of our courses&#39; coverage. I&#39;m just aghast. The frequency of keywords deciding whether our courses meet their arbitrary standards. I can&#39;t even begin to articulate how nonsensical this is.

    Sad to learn of the passing of Sam Neill. A glass of red (sadly not from Two Paddocks) and a watch of Jurassic Park will be in order.

    Are you a member of a software development team? Run a worst case scenario. Assume that a hacker or someone with full access to your repos attacks your systems. How much damage can they do? Where are your backups and who has access? What happens if a key account is locked or closed? &#39;Just roll it back&#39; wont work on a deleted account.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@distrowatch/116886763581035723 Distributions need to take a more professional approach to managing authorisation. Offboard inactive contributors. I assume OpenMandriva would have maintained a full backup on an alternative system.

    We had a firecall today to a B-Double on fire. It was full of fertilizer. If it had been a little earlier that or if Telstra failure had still been impacting call delivery, the consequences could have been disastrous. Critical infrastructure should not be outsourced.

    Why do you need an EA account to play the Sims? Being lazy I went to sign in with my google account (YES I KNOW) and it said it wanted my exact birthday and I thought, you know, actually, fuck off. Uninstall.

    I need more games that don&amp;#39;t require accounts. I&amp;#39;m so done with being surveilled and having login dramas. If you don&amp;#39;t have my data online, it can&amp;#39;t be stolen, can it!

    Watching a spy thriller series. Protagonists getting a biohazard sample wearing just surgical masks and goggles. F*ing ridiculous.
