Some facts about me:
- I am a #scicomm #writer about #planetaryscience
- I ❤️ space robots
- I'm a week away from submitting a manuscript of a 400 page book about #Curiosity #Mars rover
- I will answer any question about our solar system and how we explore it as long as you're not being a jerk
- I should be writing
I think the ethos and aesthetics of modern computing - with their rigid emphasis on the smooth, the frictionless, the consistent, the compatible, the clean; with their reification of the visual over the textual and of consumption over production, etc, are super sterile and fucked up. At the same time, nostalgia is a trap. we need a future-focused aesthetics of computing at the local and personal level that isn't ruled by corporate exploitation.

Oh boy. I have not been this worked-up by a kernel change for a long time:
https://speakerdeck.com/joewalnes/linux-port-sharding
"Linux kernel 3.9 introduced socket option SO_REUSEPORT - aka port sharding.
Allows multiple processes to listen on same port. Kernel will balance across them.
Here's a trick... it's also a simple way to roll process upgrades gracefully with no downtime."

instead of being forced to read a post in order to determine if they want to interact with its contents or not (which is not a choice), you can know what the post is about and choose whether it's worth engaging that or not
@cosine Oh man I would also be *deeply* derelict in my duties as a hacker if I did not point you to the classic HackBack manifesto and DIY giude (https://pastebin.com/raw/cRYvK4jb and https://pastebin.com/raw/0SNSvyjJ) as well as a more recent description of the take-down of Flexispy (https://pastebin.com/raw/Y1yf8kq0).
I won't endorse everything they say, but these are Real Live Examples of how someone took down a nasty business.
BTW to the new users who use Android phones: Twidere is an app that works with with Mastodon and Twitter and let's you post to both at the same time
@cuffedCatling Hab dich aus dem selben Grund mal stummgeschaltet, aber sag bitte bescheid, wenn/falls du anfängst, auf Mastodon auch originale Posts zu machen. :) Auf Twitter les ich ja noch...

@YesIKnowIT Now at least we know what the "INTEL INSIDE" stood for: "INTELligence agency INSIDE your hardware"...
The blogosphere suddenly became aware of the existence of Intel ME "spying at you" to paraphrase some catchy titles. If some authors seem to discover that technology, the truth is it is here for almost 10 years!
So, in order for you to make your own educated opinion, I tried to summarize the facts concerning Intel ME and the current state of the community knowledge about that technology.

I hate elevators; I'd much rather take the stairs. One elevator I got in, when the doors closed, played the Windows 3.1 shutdown sound and you can be sure I mashed the open door button and got out of there fast. I never used that elevator ever again.
with all the new people, kinda want to ask if any more #infosec people are here now
@NerdResa Mhh, yes. The desktop clients were lagging behind, that's true.
