While you were socialising l learnt control flow
While you went "clubbing", I practiced server maintenance

And now when the WiFi needs fixing you're all unprepared
Expect for me
For I studied the command line

Great thread from a Mozilla dev on Google’s culture of “oops.” Where changes that harm competitors and boost Google’s business goals are always ‘accidents’. https://twitter.com/johnath/status/1116871238922776576?s=21

Firefox admits they will eventually be sending all of your DNS to Cloudflare. Cloudflare will monetize your internet browsing, no matter how much their PR people say they are.

If you want to disable that, go to "about:config", and set "network.trr.mode" to 5.

The values are: 0 - default off, 1 - race, 2 TRR first, 3 TRR only, 4 shadow, 5 off by choice

"Caffeinated idling – did you mean: coding?" – @Tomatinchen

IoT except instead of adding computers and networked stuff into everything, we add mechanical key switches.

To a microwave. To light switches, to elevator buttons, to utility buttons. To remote controls.

The reason modern computer systems are so horrifyingly insecure is that their roots lie in a time where you knew all the code running on your account because you wrote it all yourself.

That time is gone, and despite the efforts of the open source movement, it's never coming back. To browse the web is to download and execute code somebody else wrote. Fortunately, The Web Browser is an OS spec designed to execute untrusted programs, but unfortunately, its host OS is not.
