'Stop sticking googly eyes on sculptures' - US city tells residents
  • I think you’re one of those googleyers! Distraction.

  • 'Stop sticking googly eyes on sculptures' - US city tells residents
  • That’s exactly what someone who wants googly eyes on everything would say.

  • Iconic Halifax tugboat Theodore Too partially sunk at Ontario dock
  • This is why Ontario can’t have nice things.

  • Let's Encrypt Announces New-Certificate-Every-6-Days Offering
  • Ok, I slid right by the “compromised” word. Makes sense now.

  • Let's Encrypt Announces New-Certificate-Every-6-Days Offering
  • No. Perfect Forward Secrecy (ephemeral keys) prevents this type of replay.

  • Let's Encrypt Announces New-Certificate-Every-6-Days Offering
  • Don’t certs just create an ephemeral key pair that disappears after the session anyhow? What does cert validity period have to do with “This is a big upgrade for the security of the TLS ecosystem because it minimizes exposure time during a key compromise event.”

    I mean, it’s LE so I’m sure they know what their talking about. But…?

  • Perplexity, not Google, is now the best search engine
  • I didn’t read this article but yes. I’ve basically stopped using search engines altogether now and use Perplexity. It’s nice to be able to say “that didn’t work, here’s the error” and “double check your work because this is important” and it just…does it. It’s not perfect but it’s miles better than googling up that 5 year old Stack Overflow post with your exact question and zero answers.

  • Trudeau considering his options as leader after Freeland quits cabinet, sources say
  • Sing does not want an election. He wants a Liberal leadership change. An election now would put the Cons in charge and he does not want that.

  • What ways/methods have you used to memorize passwords?
  • Until finally there is one to bind them all.

  • If I go to Canada can I retire there and draw SS from the US? Also can I go to Canada buy a cabin or house with a plot of land and not work? Unless I just needed some walking around money?
  • We have a housing problem and the government is actively reducing immigration targets (that’s you moving here permanently) and curbing foreign property investment (that’s you buying property here).

    It’s not a great time for you to make this move.

  • Spotify Has A Pirated Software Problem
  • I dunno. It’s not like the warez and stuff is IN Spotify.

  • AI can now create a replica of your personality
  • Great. Now I can see first hand how annoying I am 🤔

  • What fediverse software should I host?
  • It’s come a long way.

  • What fediverse software should I host?
  • This is probably the least painful way to get a few fediverse apps installed. There are many Mastodon type apps, Pixelfed, Lemmy and maybe more.

  • Beepberry fun
  • Somehow the Beepberry people got their hands on tons of BlackBerry keyboards. I assume they get in trouble because if you look at the site now, all the keyboards are pixelated to be unreadable. But I just assumed that these were international BB keyboards so probably some other script like Arabic or Cyrillic, etc.

    Having a lot of fun getting this to work. Should be a fun thing to play with on the road.

    Pixelfed federated timeline where?

    Anyone know where the federated timeline is in the native #Pixelfed app? I can see it in other apps, but can’t find it in the native app.
