This feels like a targeted attack on parts of booktok. Has there been a counter-offensive, and where is the popcorn?

Griffins an a few other mythical creatures would be too. Pegasus may or may not. The original was sired by Poseidon and itself was a god, but its since become a generic name for winged horses so that leaves room for debate.

Yes I do enjoy fiction taxonomy, why do ask?

This is the song playing the background of this scene.

Dr Umbengabones is the perfect lead for my Zombie Trek (Star Amble?) series!

I think your question has been answered by other pretty well but I'll add: If you decide a password manager is overall beneficial and choose one that looks secure, don't assume it will stay that way. LastPass taught us that a couple decisions that are valid one day can turn into huge liabilities in a few years as threats escalate. You to have to periodically check in on what secops pros are saying about your manager and make sure they haven't been resting on their laurels. Security is a job we all have.

Well put.

I'd been on reddit since the Digg migration and deleted my account after the blackout, but I had been enjoying the place less and less (and was interacting less and less) for years before.

we conservatively estimate 20 × 10^15 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. -- source

If there's a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.

I was born at the north end of a valley, went to collage in the middle of the valley (maybe 2/3rds down), and then settled down at south end of the valley. About 100mi / 160km. Where I live now is home, my spawn point hasn't been my home in over half my life.

Though I've lived for months at a time in a few more distant cities, all in the US.

This event is right up my ally, I am excited to play through it. I was trying to save up for a C2 Herc in time to for it to start, but I'll have to earn the last couple mil I need for it running resources for ArcCorp - and I hope they name the jump gate to Pyro "Area 69" when they win.

I get the urge check on zombo.com every couple years and it makes me feel better when it loads. Like it's my Inception totem, or something.

Don't count out whomever America's Stalin is, to swoop into the void that's left.

Can I get a half-caff, oat milk ketracel in the collectable neck tube?

Getting hyped up for Blazin' Bev day tomorrow.

 

April 8th is Rex Manning day. And my knowing that probably lets you narrow my age down to within about a 5 year range.

 

I had to take a minute today to find the thread because last night I was having an otherwise unremarkable dream about being in an airport. But at some point I told the person next to me that I had picked the wrong crayon on Lemmy (#4 from the linked thread) and I needed to ask the desk attendant for a blue one.

 

I took a day trip to Newport Oregon today, but was still in a Ten Forward frame of mind.

 

While I am glad this ruling went this way, why'd she have diss Data to make it?

To support her vision of some future technology, Millett pointed to the Star Trek: The Next Generation character Data, a sentient android who memorably wrote a poem to his cat, which is jokingly mocked by other characters in a 1992 episode called "Schisms." StarTrek.com posted the full poem, but here's a taste:

"Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, / An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature; / Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses / Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, / A singular development of cat communications / That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection / For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection."

Data "might be worse than ChatGPT at writing poetry," but his "intelligence is comparable to that of a human being," Millet wrote. If AI ever reached Data levels of intelligence, Millett suggested that copyright laws could shift to grant copyrights to AI-authored works. But that time is apparently not now.

 

Electricians are here and are working in the unfinished attic over my head. I keep imaging dust raining down, or worse. My cat has developed a 1000 yard stare probably picturing 180lb squirrels walking across our rafters.

We've also hit out first unexpected snag. Hopefully first and only.

Super nice guys though, I feel bad for how often they keep getting hurt in my imagination.

 

Here's the story if your day has been too full of good news and you need a palate cleanser.

 
 

I saved my fortune cookie for a snack, and it turns out this guy really like how they smell.

 

Alt Title: How to take over the world using abandoned S3 Buckets

Watchtowr has moved on from using expired domains to assume authority over entire TLDs and instead is using blind trust in S3 addresses to infiltrate governments and militaries across the world.

The TL;DR is that this time, we ended up discovering ~150 Amazon S3 buckets that had previously been used across commercial and open source software products, governments, and infrastructure deployment/update pipelines - and then abandoned.

As for the research itself, it panned out progressively, with S3 buckets registered as they were discovered. It went rather quickly from “Haha, we could put our logo on this website” to “Uhhh, .mil, we should probably speak to someone”.

These S3 buckets received more than 8 million HTTP requests over a 2 month period for all sorts of things -

  • Software updates,
  • Pre-compiled (unsigned!) Windows, Linux and macOS binaries,
  • Virtual machine images (?!),
  • JavaScript files...
