I shared this link yesterday as part of my rant about building a new usenet/fidonet thing.

But I shared a lot of links yesterday, I feel like this one is worth seeing on it's own.
The internet's core infrastructure is mostly maintained by volunteers, or by part time employees, or full time employees that are underpaid. This is an old article, but not much of this has changed.

After reading this, I want to figure out how to get my OpenBSD machines' consoles to display orange text on a black background. They currently do white on black.
Orange on black might not be as aesthetic as the shades of blue currently popular, but it's better for nighttime work.

Regular reminder that if you use #OpenBSD, a great help to developers is to send your machines' dmesg outputs to dmesg <AT> openbsd.org.
If you'd like to help other *BSD users, regardless of what *BSD you use, submit your machines' dmesg outputs to http://dmesgd.nycbug.org/
It's free to do, and works best when we all chip in!

If your company uses #OpenBSD or its products (pf, openssh, libressl) bring up donations to keep this software project running that provides code that basically the entire internet runs on. It takes more than just good will to run this!
IMO individual users should consider monthly donations e.g. via PayPal.
New water shader looks promising.
GitLab open sourced push mirroring and added it core. This is a great win for #decentralization!!! You can now run your own canonical GitLab instance & easily mirror to GitHub for findability.

Alexa recorded a couple's private conversation and sent it to a random contact.
Amazon said it's "an extremely rare occurrence."
Get this thing out of your home, folks.

At least #Signal has 3rd party security audits and holds themselves accountable for issues and patches them quickly every time.
Keep your stuff up to date and don't give up on literally some of the best efforts for #privacy and #security we're gonna get. Also, all of these scary Signal security news posts are for the desktop app. Signal for phone, so far as I've read, hasn't had any major problems recently.
Hi guys!
Rudloff is getting work hard on #fdroid to give us more options apps, high quality apps.
But now I want to introduce to you a great...really great alternative to #2fA (two factor authentication) app by G and Authy, I just to show you...#FreeOTP+.
Test it and get more security into your accounts.
Don't forget, share it, someone can use too.
Thanks all time of @fdroidorg .
Hey everybody! I'm in the market for a new monospaced font I can ideally use everywhere. I love Termsynu, but I want to move away from bitmap fonts. Ligatures are nice, but not required.
Hoping y'all can help me find one that I can replace Termsynu with, ideally fonts that look good between 9-16pt. Any input is appreciated.
If you ever wondered what an "Ingo commit message" is in #OpenBSD developer lingo, here's an outstanding example: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=152665335324708&w=2
I am actually trying to give children access by letting visitors play liberally with anything they can reach in my lab. They turned off RAID arrays and heard alarm bells, plugged in multiple USB keyboards to see what would happen, had "mouse wars" and tried randomly hitting they keyboard on an open OS X machine (this one is a story to behold, actually).
Obviously my serious work stuff is elsewhere but I think this is the least I can do to "give back" the amazing opportunities I had as a child.

Like, Microsoft actually deserves kudos for once for acknowledging that people who are normally other'd or excluded from gaming because of the design of normal controllers being for "two working hands and precise motor skills" need something as well

I was unaware that #Tesla has been a pretty major #GPL violator, and while they probably do deserve some applause for beginning to come into compliance, they are not fully compliant yet. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2018/may/18/tesla-incomplete-ccs/
bunnie is at it again - this time doing really cool stuff with HDMI signals.
Buy his board and help fund his lawsuit against the US Government and ridiculous clauses in the DMCA that deserve to be overturned.
At #p2k18, I did something kinda cool.
