I am usually very supportive of the Humble Bundle stuff but their latest "Cyber Security" bundle is pretty laughable. It seems like they got suckered into peddling some dubious software.

Does anyone else have an pinion about this?

An important piece of context I'm not sure everybody has: OpenSSH is the single best piece of computer networking software ever made. It is the Swiss army knife of networking, an internet power user's chef's spatula.

Also battery is running hot so maybe need to replace it? Anyone else experienced this MB Pro

@pixelfed what mobile application development is happening currently?

Fuck that. Mic check.

How do you protect what you don’t know? You don’t.
