I'm a radio guy. You can tell because I have a bunch of unfinished radio kits.

Just started watching these guys and love em. They are doing a great job coming up with content now that parts are hard to source https://t.co/H4YM7GeikL I will state from experience that just shoving the ram in because it fits in the slot can be dangerous.

I have a github account, Just to "follow" developers and contribute (donations, not code). It's an awful way to do the former, but works for the latter. Kind of. I don't know if Rust is a good or bad thing to require. I do wish there was something in between this and Patreon for the rest of us. Both of them are terrible for communicating.

Git Without Rust From Dev of XLibre

Two days after Git 2.55 released, with a big step towards requiring Rust, he "Libre-WD40" project released "Git 2.55 without Rust".

I beat this drum fairly often. The solution mostly lies in learning stuff, like how to set up a home server, and put up with some inconvenience in other areas, I don't do the first, but I should. As to the second, I'm willing to turn off the movies and games.

What's that saying... 'If buying isn't owning...'

Sony deletes another large stash of movies off users' accounts after users "purchased" the movies. Cue up the "I'm tired boss" meme https://t.co/iBWVsompOq

I don't necessarily have the tech savvy to stay off grid, but I can take the surface streets instead of the interstate. I'm working on learning WebDAV now. I'm okay with using cloud services if they're a little more trustworthy than say, Google or Apple.

@OfMikeAndMen Did a little cleanup yesterday. If nothing else, it's s good reminder that I started an account here to read things I'm interested in, not flap my own gums. I follow 450-ish and have a hundred-some-odd followers. Many of those are bots and spammers.

@BradRTorgersen What a great memory!

Launching Site Behavior Lab: a way to see what a website actually does, not just what its privacy policy says.

Most privacy tools compress behavior into a score. I wanted the opposite: reproducible evidence you can inspect.

Paste a public URL and Site Behavior Lab opens it in a controlled browser visit, then shows what happened:

- every third party contacted
- the companies behind known tracker domains
- cookies and storage keys, with values redacted
- fingerprinting signals like canvas, WebGL, audio, and WebRTC
- advertising pixel events from Meta, TikTok, and X
- CNAME-uncloaked trackers hiding behind first-party-looking subdomains
- tracking that happened before consent
- a screenshot, request log, JSON export, and CSV export

It can also compare behavior with Global Privacy Control on, and run a Brave Shields comparison to show which requests a default blocker would stop.

One feature I care a lot about: active input-capture testing.

The scanner types a unique synthetic value into visible form fields, never submits the form, never uses real data, and flags it if that value gets sent to a third party, even if encoded or hashed.

Every report starts with a plain-language headline, but the raw evidence stays right there. You should not have to trust the tool’s interpretation if you want to verify the underlying data yourself.

Query strings and fragments are stripped from the URL before scanning.

The bigger idea is simple:
The web should be inspectable.

I have enough irons in the fire to do OK, but I don't make what I used to. I also got a bank card that offers what some of the onlline payment plan services do. I ordered a Radioddity QT-80 and a scope mount or something, and had to chuckle at getting a CB and a gun part on a paymenr plan.

@WeaponOutfitter I don't know if their system is any better in this regard, but HCW that I know in the US can get in serious trouble for even restraining a patient. The vid is a pretty cut-and-dried case, but still.

[FullMetalElmer🤘 @SignalSteveo]

Thatd be a great and definitive solution, if storage media lasted forever.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Sony is making what is, perhaps, the best case I have ever seen for pirating movies.

Did you purchase “Terminator 2”, “Evil Dead”, or “Hot Fuzz” on your PlayStation? Tough luck. You can’t watch those anymore.

@N3QEH @Savage16May I'm a little freaked out that Boondock Saints is not modern 🤣 Srsly, this makes me want to see it.

@SantiagoAuFund Whatever my wife just got me is both "kettle roasted" (whatever that means) and also "gourmet". I'm not reading the label, they're delicious.

I've got a fever and the only cure is MOAR WAGONS. Check out the buzzcut & skinny tie bros, and back yonder is a 1964-65 Pontiac Tempest or Lemans wagon. Peeking out behind it, I'm 95% certain, is a 1957 Mercury Monterey or Montclair.

@WeaponOutfitter Lot of valid complaints about MS and MS Office. The complaints about Outlook are the validest.

Just try to create an "away" message or any other auto reply. That'll turn you into a hater.

Pretty soon, you're talking real money.

Had this knot-head in the emergency vet clinic 3mo ago. They sent us a second reminder text that they still had his kitty convict collar. He is not happy that they are that thoughtful.

@Gplavallee72 @BradRTorgersen Claude Werner covers this pretty well also. He tends more toward books, blogs and classes than social media, though he does have a FB page. I've spent enough time and seen enough stuff to really value that redundancy in those rules.
