seany··on Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel
Weekly? 12 or 24hr cadence for upgrades isn't that crazy in some places for cluster hosts...
seany··on 28% of job postings on company career sites have been open over 90 days
The flip side of this is filtering for "US Persons" (non cleared, but citizenship, located in the US) for remote work at the Sr/Staff level. The amount of BS that I get is astounding.
seany··on An update on how we confirm your age group on Discord
irc + jitsi. The only options are things incapable of complying to this fucktardedness
seany··on There's a high chance of devices being sold with GrapheneOS preinstalled in 2027
Will they be unlockable?
seany··on Systemd is a suite of basic building blocks
an init system that is just an init system. _That's it_. Any other option is unreasonable.
seany··on ZuckOff is a free app that sees Meta glasses before they see you
Are there any decent glasses have similar features but aren't meta?
seany··on Systemd is a suite of basic building blocks
We had reasonable building blocks before systemd...
seany··on GrapheneOS' rewritten Messages app is released
right, but I haven't used a phone with out magisk or something like it since... 2009? And you guys hate rooting; so...
seany··on GrapheneOS' rewritten Messages app is released
RCS is really the only thing I truly am annoyed by with rooted devices. If GrapheneOS can build something open that works we should be able to rip it apart and get it to work without passing play integrity.
seany··on Don't let anyone take away your big box of cables
This is rough when you have lots of weird one offs. Strange trrs->rj45 for programming a radio you still use but haven't reprogrammed in 10 years; does that go in "generic serial stuff" or "things you want to keep but haven't used in a long time" (right next to the 13w3 -> 5 wire component cable for the sparc in the other corner)
seany··on The Deathray: A simple way for an untrusted site to freeze a Mac
don't some of the adblock extensions randomly modify the fingerprinting you can get from this?
seany··on Google will buy half the electricity from one of Finland's nuclear power plants
* good access to power (this might not mean the cheapest always, but actually getting to it.

* easy permitting

* lots of space

seany··on Shutting down our public encrypted DNS
I'm all for supporting quad9; but what if we just disable dnssec instead, it really solves nothing and continued support of it just makes it show up in compliance guides unnecessarily.
seany··on DNS abuse and criminal infrastructure
Just just seems like a reason to have a truely distributed DNS system that is censorship resistant. The complaints presented should be _unfixable_ since they are a feature, not a bug.
seany··on My hobby of building miniatures and taking pretty pictures
Fabio is still the best as a video imho.
seany··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
Why not just have it be one of the 85 million reasons to not use systemd? Is always been awful.
seany··on 25,000 Lbs. Of Chicken Products Recalled in 5 States: USDA
The scale of modern industrial food is really hard to comprehend. in the US the per-capita lbs for chicken in 104 annually. That's 36 _billion_ lbs annually.

This is important, I'm glad some one caught it... it's also kind of a nothing burger

seany··on Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative
if we're totally switching tooling, lets at least go to mercurial instead
seany··on How Bluesky draws its logo on screenshots
It's mostly dumb because of obvious analog loop holes. I at minimum carry 4 devices with cameras, often as many as 12. If I want to capture the disappearing message... I will do it; making it annoying just makes me pissed at the developer + the is.
seany··on How Bluesky draws its logo on screenshots
Which is why everyone should root the their phone to turn this kind of shit off.
seany··on I'll be stepping back from leading product for X
I'm aldo using x more than ever. I nearly stopped in the 2019-2021 era, always confused when people are complaining about it these days.
seany··on I'm switching my phone from Android to Linux
Has anyone done Android as a I'm on a Linus phone?
seany··on Stop Killing the Internet: No Digital ID and No Age Verification
So they should be raised by the state just in case? I feel like Ive read this story somewhere...
seany··on Stop Killing the Internet: No Digital ID and No Age Verification
I'm a parent and would rather ban age verification. So it's certainly not everyone...
seany··on Patreon laying off 20% of staff
Haven't thought about patreon since they got political years ago and I canceled all my subscriptions.
seany··on Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
Grok is my starting point for random stuff at the moment. It's really pretty good.
seany··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
I mean, it's just anecdote vs anecdote. I'm a serial first eng -> VP/Dir for the last ... almost 30 years; I'm well aware of how creative projects work remote, and that retention and engagement are important. I've seen repeatedly over the last ten years especially C levels that want people in offices for "vibes" with _no_ data to back that up... In some cases opposite data. All of that gets mixed with data from teams that I support and/or lead being productive and never having a single person leave for reasons other than total corp restructuring; mean while everyone has a good mix of flexibility to have a family life.

Office first by default is a scourge on this industry.

Anyway, need to go empty my mouth after throwing up from reading your reply.

seany··on OpenNode – Bitcoin Payment Processor
Sorry, meant zcash
seany··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
This is a bad take. There are plenty of orgs that were remote in some form or another way before covid. They're just organized and managed differently. It's 100% a management doesn't want to change issue.
seany··on OpenNode – Bitcoin Payment Processor
This would be more interesting with other coins. Monero or cash come to mind
