Don't worry about today's WPA2 vuln if you're running #OpenBSD - both 6.1-stable and 6.2 release are already patched.

I don't know if I need a version of gcc so old, but I'm wearing out.

I got past this error, at least.
$ su -
# pkg install gcc46
# exit
$ export IMAKECPP=/usr/local/bin/cpp46

I actually like the program xcal, but not only is it not in FreeBSD ports, the only place I can find a copy of the source is in Debian's source pools.

And the source won't build because clang doesn't translate ancient imake rules/macros right: X11.rules exists, but it's trying to include ' X11 .rules' (spurious spaces).

I for one would rather have real interactive people than one-way token celebrity endorsements in my social network.

I just noticed that what they're wearing during the comparison dances are...

...sorting hats.

YouTube is recommending folk dancers illustrating merge sort and bubble sort, too.

I need to sort these Hungarian folk dancers as quickly as possible. What computer algorithm should I use? youtu.be/3San3uKKHgg

Oh are the new users asking about how to get the check mark again? LMAO listen:

You're important, you're valid, & you don't need that check mark 💝💝💝

There's no checkmark procedure on Mastodon. You're already verified real and valid.

My workstation is misbehaving so badly, clicking on "Boost" turned the page into a solid black screen. I'm going to take this as a hint. Happy weekend, everyone.

Happy Friday the Thirteenth, folks.

Things are getting accomplished and work disasters are getting resolved successfully, but the curse is apparently exhaustion. (And my workstation is lagging on things it shouldn't be.)

Periodic reminder: malvertising on otherwise-trustworthy websites has been such a large problem for years, and shows no sign of getting better, that an ad blocker is Internet security software.

If a site you visit asks you to disable your ad blocker, take it the same way you would a demand to disable your antivirus just to view their site.

FLOSS venting 

How to lose my interest in your program before I click on anything on your home page:

"Web browser with built-in ad blocking"
- Go on...

"On slow/expensive connections, block scripts & images"
- Now you're talking!

"Fast and efficient"
- So it's a small GUI Web browser? I can use one.

"Written entirely with CSS & JavaScript using Electron"
- Wait, hold up!

"Try our browser now! [_Download_]"
- Okay, this I gotta see.

*"Download" changes to "Requires MacOS" on hover*
- WAT

friendly reminder that we have sent actual real space ships to an actual real planet and landed robots on that planet and drive those robots around taking pictures of ANOTHER PLANET

pictures you can see! on the internet!!!

I got excited and found what looked like a candidate manual typewriter for easy conversion to any layout imaginable, the Sears Easy Touch from the mid-'60s. The slugs just slide right on and off. Then I saw its price and a typing sample showing off its build quality. Shame.
