Dear random stray kitty I just saw haul ass across my front yard: I hope you did not just become a snack for the fox I heard screaming.

I hate AI like a raccoon with rabies hates being petted.

There was a lot of chat about AI at work today, and how "security is fucked", from the perspective that "AI can find all the bugs, and only AI can defend against AI" Dude. Do you have any idea how much low hanging fruit like "stop reusing passwords" and "use least privilege' would stop so very much? But please, continue granting AI full rights to act on your behalf. Fucking idiots.

man, one of these days I'll delete my google account out of sheer frustration that there are multiple people on the planet that keep using my gmail address instead of theirs. First it was oncology patient data. Then a SiriusXM subscription. Then the scammy dating sites. It just doesn't end.

*thin slices some cucumber with a mandolin slicer, and appreciates the smell* &quot;This would be delicious with some dill, some acid, and maybe some yogurt&quot; seriously brain, you&#39;re not original at all.

Jesus christ the entire prusa community is pissed off at prusa and bondtech over unhardenened INDX nozzles, everyone has pitchforks and wants to take people to jail for a bait-and-switch for breaking purchase agreement, dude, flaying someone online isn't going to make the thing you want magically appear, your only real recourse is to get a refund. You can't armchair complain a product into existence. I shouldn't have joined the prusa discord for a status update. It's just so m...

I love single-sign-on. Every single time I try to use a webapp at work, I get hit with an interstitial "Please log in" screen. Remember when we just used to run stuff on prem, on our own NT domain, and NTLM auth just made everything transparently work because you were logged into your domain account on your PC?

#Woodworking Design Blog 1/??: I am an indecisive fuckhead. I'm trying to make a table + fold-down wings for the Radial Arm Saw I inherited from my Dad, and the realization that *separating* the table *from the frame* of the RAS (where it's normally attached) will make the folding wings align to the table better, but this means that now I have to shift the *whole RAS frame itself* to make the saw blade perfectly square to the fence. Considering making a torsion table top ala this https...

I remember when I ordered like two gross of ping pong balls, and snap-spring style mouse traps, and absolutely covered every horizontal surface in my boss's office with them. Good times. I work from home now.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@xabean/116976446506516926 According to a CVS/Caremark customer service rep just now: it is no longer possible to log into your account with means other than username + six digit code that they text/voice/e-mail you. Passwords are not allowed. Password reset-secret-questions are no longer used. Apparently this changed between March 2025 and now.

I'm exaggerating, but it's really weird to file a UI/UX bug report "hey, this is a bait-and-switch making for a terrible user experience" to be told "this is working as designed".
Post #4063380
it just occurred to me that CVS fucked up and leaked the PII of someone with a very similar name (an off-by-one) to someone in Oklahoma when I filled a prescription this week. So now I have a name, birth month and year, full mailing address, and phone number. 🤦‍♂️
