Can we get rid of reddit and go back to digg, or even slashdot?

I get to battle GnuPG today. My primary key needs its expiration date extended.

I've taken the week off from work.

A summer clerk and I are writing a weekly GDPR update, and this week's is on unintended security consequences. We've written about the so-called GDPR ransomhacks ("give me the $ or I'll expose this data"), but what other attacks have you guys been seeing? I'd think it presents at least two good spearphishing opportunities: "hi, I want my personal data from you, here's some totally benign document proving my identity" and "hi, I'm grandma. Please give me my info so I can phish myself."

@FlyingLawyer one of my customers has a 7 PB datalake. It is not indexed on userid, only time. (No business use cases for that index). When they get a data request from a consumer, it costs about $1000 in compute, storage, network fees to query their unindexed data lake. For them, just a rash of legit requests is an attack.

I am pretty sure the #fediverse is actually just a testing ground for new TLDs

Made me think of the magical trace lute, an instrument, that when played will debug your network and untangle the interwebs for you

To all the artists joining mastodon.art right now: Here are some tips I published a few days ago https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-become-a-successful-artist-on-mastodon/

It was much easier, pre-technology, to rent a cabin on the shore of a cursed lake.

Used to be families could disappear, but you and your terrified community knew you could continue to appease the lake because westward expansion would continue to deliver new renters.

These days, you spend all your time politely responding to AirBnB reviews like "Thanks for the feedback about the missing children. We did mention that risk in our listing, but can offer a 10% rebooking discount for next time!"

would appreciate being pointed to a good low-bloat boilerplate for making a contemporary python package (i.e., for release on pypi). even as a maintainer of several python packages I find this process consistently daunting and I feel like standards and best practices are constantly shifting under my feet

hey y'all, reminder: The ArchiveTeam needs your help right now to rescue photos from 500px, who are pulling an Our Incredible Journey after being bought by getty. If you can run a VM, you can help out, and every IP helps! https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=500px

@smallsees typically it would be the former, but this is for a game company looking to add some to help tell a story to some rules.

Before I head to bed:

"Another 10 Years Later" by Geoff Huston

"Ten years ago, I wrote an article[0] that looked back on the developments within the Internet over the period from 1998 to 2008. Well another ten years has gone by, and it’s a good opportunity to take a little time once more to muse over what’s new, what’s old and what’s been forgotten in another decade of the Internet’s evolution."

BTW, the WordPress vulnerability I am talking about is this one:

Post has a temporary patch but I am hesitant to recommend any one hot patch WordPress core files unless they are a high-value target and have PHP developers who can troubleshoot issues arising from that fix. The authors of that post are of the same opinion.

I wrote a tl;dr post on Patreon about the tools I've been using to make art and levels for my game. It's a public post, so you don't have to be a patron to read it.

Perhaps it might be interesting to someone out there :'D
