Doctor: Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?
Patient: Good news please.
Doctor: we're naming a disease after you.
Probably not the first one, but I'm 100% sure it will not be the last time some company will leak biometric data

Down The Rabbit Hole
Fun read from Tavis at Google about a previously unknown attack surface

What's a man to do when the maker sends a tracking number, but forgets sending the name or link to the courier? Well, since I know it's coming from Austria, I went and plugged the tracking number into different Austrian courier sites until I got it 😎
Got word back that my new ocarina has been dropped off to ship! Looking forward to seeing how this feels to play.

Of course, level-headed retractions never get as many boosts as prejudice-reinforcing security panics... but for those of you who care, there it is.
Anyone else planning on going to the Orange County OWASP meetup where Steve Gibson is presenting his authentication protocol, SQRL? Should be a fun time.

Still going to be a long while before I'm remotely this fast on my own ocarina, but makes for some awesome musical inspiration all the same

The most pure Dad thing I've ever seen. (Could be Mom too, but it's Dad this time around.)
Mastodon commies be like "Smash the capitalist pigs" and then "comissions open, 30$ a picture!"
Not trying to start a formatting holy war, genuinely curious of people's thoughts. Picked up the habit of using inline conditionals in code when it's one line and short enough to be readable.
ie:
If(thing) doOtherThing()
Else...
Or:
If(thing) {
doOtherThing()
} else {...
I never put logic on a new line without braces (who remembers goto fail?), just find it more convenient to use the first case when the conditional and logic are short enough that this doesn't sacrifice readability.
Hello world!
Decided to make an account over here since @m4iler is a cool guy, and any place that he's able to enjoy his quirky self from blog posting to shitposting seems like it's going to be a fun corner of the Net.
I'm a programmer by trade, ocarinist by hobby, and have a multitude of other interests, so looking forward to future conversations with you all.
