I heard FB was down for a long time from friends on IRC and Matrix. Even my wife didn’t really notice because we were busy hiking around the Scottish highlands all day. Perhaps if the outage resulted in an increase in quality of life it’s wise to just stay off those platforms entirely…

Always perplexed by “director of security” folks who shoot off emails that this request was blocked by me personally for its dependencies on Open Source tooling, only to follow up with a list of Enterprise Solutions that are Open Source Inside through and through.

Done did the deed. The weather was typical Scottish fall weather though the rains cleared for a few minutes just in time. Had a lovely wedding with a few of my closest friends and family. Now for a honeymoon in the Highlands.

@Gina lmk if there’s anything I can do to help, and good luck!

About six months ago I reserved a crate name for a job execution framework in Rust. Over the last three weeks I've managed to cut away a little time and actually get an initial release cut. There is undoubtedly work yet to be done, and there's plenty of room to grow but this project has given me a lot of opportunities to learn Rust even better.

@kyle probably the easiest path indeed, but given the common thread through which we met I would wager few who have met either of us ever expect the easiest path to be the chosen one!

@kyle when I’m back stateside let’s sync on this. See if I can use my actual degree to get this machine running again. It’d be nice to a) help you out, and b) exercise the machine design parts of my brain.

I don't dispute that jails are hard to break into, but they are even harder to break out of. How many of us would choose to live in a prison in real life? Instead we make risk assessments that balance personal freedom and security, and the digital world should be no different.

The security industry has largely failed to build security measures without reducing a user's freedom more than attackers. It's not only harder to build security solutions that give users control, it reduces dependence on the vendor. This is why vendors just build jails.

@Gina Caty says make climbing pants that are comfortable, flattering, and don’t rip in one climb and

@Gina my research has shown that if your back looks amazing while you climb you can crush like two or three grades higher than otherwise. This is actually unisex in application. Now that you’ve read it on the internet it’s also a fact.

@Gina make leggings that make the booty pop. Strappy back top thing. TikTok yourself climbing literally anything. Profit.

@doenietzomoeilijk just in time for us to move back to the US where riding a bicycle is just insane!
