@lwriemen Good question! Likely closer to a town since this instance has somewhat unusual rules (no federated/local timelines, no DMs) which, while we think has a lot of benefits, isn't for everyone.
@lcamtuf I've also always wondered just how many of my posts were actually seen by my followers there and how many were buried by The Algorithm since the default was sorting by relevance. On here I know folks who follow me will likely see everything I post if they check in frequently enough.
Given how easy it is to move to a different Mastodon instance, it will be interesting to see in the coming months to see how many new folks will live in the "big cities", how many will move to small towns, and how many will start their own homesteads. #fediverse
I was in my school's engineering library this morning and found a familiar author. I thought you'd be interested!
My weekend project of installing a mantel over my brick fireplace was stalled by the brick wall being *far* from flat (center sinks in a half inch). After several attempts at shimming the French cleat, still not able to seat the mantel firmly enough to suit me. #homeimprovement
@kop316 Hah! wow that takes me back!
This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?
Check them out!

Let's add some more chaotic energy to the world. I've got a prototype for fpm that converts curl|bash to your favorite package format.

I recorded this episode of @reality2cast back in April with @shawnp0wers and @kyle about making the move from Twitter to the fediverse with Mastodon and I think it’s all still relevant. It’s a fun and nerdy chat you can check out here: https://www.reality2cast.com/109 #TwitterMigration #podcast #opensource #nerdsWithMics 🤓🎙️

Nothing new. Just the 2017 issue about stealing lprop/smartphone data using light sensor. https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/stealing-sensitive-browser-data-with-the-w3c-ambient-light-sensor-api/

Alright, time to intro for this instance:
I've been in #InfoSec for almost 25 years, starting out in threat research. I moved into #SecurityEducation / "thought leadership" for a few years, and for the last few I've been focusing on #TechnicalWriting / #TechnicalEditing
Trying to help researchers write better threat reports and security content.
The greater part of my thought leadership content was about increasing inclusivity, especially for the #neurodiverse and #disabled communities.
Reminder: I’ve started posting helpful FAQs here: https://wiki.infosec.exchange/doku.php?id=wiki:faqs
@golemwire Imagine a stiff, flexible sheet of paper with holes punched out in the shape of the pattern of hooks you want to engage in each row of knitting. Similar in principle to (and inspired by) a classic Jacquard loom.
You can even clip the bottom of a card to the top to program an infinite loop or chain different cards together. I'll definitely share pics when I level up enough to try it, but a search for "knitting machine punch card" should turn up some videos.
Just got #Mastodon setup on my @purism Librem14 with #QubesOS. I am liking #Whalebird as the local client personally. Yes this is basically my daily driver when I don’t use the Pop!_OS desktop and also what a bit more security. now to back it all up. #cybersecurity #linux
#Introduction time!
My name is dos; some call me Sebastian. I made dozens of small silly video #games and some slightly less small ones too. I'm one half of @holypangolin studio. Sometimes I pretend to be a musician, but don't get fooled. I'm also a living encyclopedia on a Polish rock band "Perfect". Trams are cooler than trains. The more caramel, the better. I've been using GNU/#Linux on #mobile phones for ages, which led me to work with @purism on the Librem 5. btw I use Arch, but I ❤️ Debian!
