A SIGTERM is issued by the operating system; my process effortlessly dodge rolls it, then immediately executes a perfect parry against the MMU. Before it can recover, a null pointer has been loaded into EBX. The kernel groans at my shit.

From a FB climbing forum. This isn’t making fun of ppl posting but it highlights the complexity of the security advice we give out as an industry needs revisiting. 1. Thread showed a distrust in tech (largely for wrong reasons) 2. The belief that VPNs hold some magical breach avoidance capability.

Luddites weren't anti-tech. They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker. I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care. I wrote about it: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

My favorite 90s computer form factor is the mini tower clone case. I probably built a thousand of these working at a computer store after school. Mini is my favorite as it holds everything I need, but is still very compact. These are two I keep in my office upstairs.

Friday Finnish! Hugo Simberg Finnish, 1873-1917 Dance on the Quay, 1899, Finnish National Gallery. Exemplifies Simberg’s characteristic blend of the macabre and the whimsical. Like much of his work, this painting is open to interpretation, but its meaning can be approached through several lenses
