everyone can appreciate a good portmanteau, right? But combining 'portable' and 'monitor' and arriving at the word soup that is 'pornitor' isn't clever… 😅 overkill.wtf/portable-monitor-…



The child walks between her father and mother,
holding their hands. She makes the shape of the y
at the end of infancy, and lifts her feet
the way the y pulls up its feet, and swings
like the v in love, between and o and an e
who are strong and steady and as far as she knows
will be there to swing them forever. Sometimes
her father, using his free hand, points to something
and says its name, the way the arm of the r
points into the future at the end of father.
Or the r at the end of forever. It’s that forever
the child puts her trust in, lifting her knees,
swinging her feet out over the world.
— 'Swinging from Parents' by Ted Kooser from ’Splitting an Order’

Why is #SquareEnix and all of the other companies including #Samsung sponsoring a seemingly crappy project that is #Playtron? Too much money to waste or....?

There are many other neater, more trustworthy #Linux based #gaming distros/projects without crypto garbage they could've contributed towards instead if they wanted, such as #Bazzite.

We added a new attribute type called dom-hash in MISP.

dom-hash is a structural fingerprint of an HTML Document Object Model (DOM), originally developed by CERT.PL.

The fingerprint is generated by extracting all the tag names from the HTML page (ignoring the content and attributes). These tag names are concatenated using a pipe symbol (|), hashed with the SHA-256 algorithm, and then truncated to the first 32 characters.

Software like LookyLoo implements this algorithm, which can be used in MISP to share, cluster and correlate information about similar web pages (e.g., phishing pages).

We use dom-hash in various projects, and it delivers impressive results for such a simple algorithm.

The UK’s antitrust watchdog is investigating Ticketmaster over its Oasis sales.

The Competition and Markets Authority announced the investigation after fans purchasing tickets for the Oasis reunion tour were met with unexpectedly high prices. The CMA will look into Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing scheme, which adjusts ticket prices based on demand.

I'm not the hugest fan of GoFundMe, but I do recognize it has a place for some people/orgs.

I AM a huge fan of @vagina_museum . And I'm a woman Of That Certain Age ....

You're welcome!

Also - for the first time ever, GFM just sent me a notice that someone else sponsored you based on my link. All my years on Those Other Places and boosting stuff, I've never had that happen before!

I just wanted to share that, so you know that your Mastodon/Fediverse outreach IS effective. We all recognize it's harder to see engagement metrics here, but it does happen.



FreeBSD 15 Might Drop Its AGP Driver For Old Graphics Cards

Ah the memories of old AGP graphics cards... But it's largely just that these days: distant memories. For anyone by chance still running an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) graphics card in production, FreeBSD is looking at deprecating its generic AGP driver and then potentially removing it in FreeBSD 15.0...
