@SGgrc Hey Steve! On SN934 you mentioned logging in to sites via an email link. That method is known as “magic links” and is supported by a number of authentication frameworks like Auth0 and NextAuth. Just another example of the lowest common denominator at work.

@ben_burnes Whenever I see those I either think "space kitty!" or "It's Krang!"

Hey @SGgrc! I use https://t.co/kFrhLLL4w9 from time to time and recently found this article written by the tool's author, Major Hayden. I had no idea just how complex hosting a "simple" tool like this (at face value, at least!) could be! https://t.co/n8vm1rC3XJ

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@SGgrc do you mind distilling this for the rest of us? Thanks! https://t.co/1FT4ftyw4T

@SGgrc I have some sad news to send today. Peter Eckersley, one of the original founders of @letsencrypt, has passed away. You can read more here: https://t.co/lbQJE4MRU3

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@MerriamWebster @alyankovic literally a word crime.

Hey @SGgrc I thought you might enjoy this! https://t.co/gLgihr1IAF

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

I'm enjoying the #DeepOrganicHouse channel @diradio https://t.co/PiuriyKB0l

@NoraEnPure this feels right for #Purified

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

Hey @NoraEnPure I wanted to suggest Stay Right There by @noravanelken for an upcoming #PurifiedRadio. I'm loving it! Thanks for the epic sounds 🎶🎧 https://t.co/LuhcfBouVR

A lot of services (like Amazon) will store the credentials for the non-guest network and continue to utilize it on their devices. People should make sure to remove those stored credentials via the manufacturer's UI and/or otherwise block the device via the router's UI.

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

Hey @SGgrc! On SN878 you were talking about guest networks for IoT. I wanted to mention - if someone has devices on their current non-guest network and move them to a guest network, they should make sure to remove access to those devices on their non-guest network. (continued)

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@SGgrc this might even make a great Picture of the Week.

Hey @sggrc have you seen one of the ways @Cloudflare generates randomness for encryption? Check this out! https://t.co/0rq2I3Zk6R

@SGgrc - another way to take over a high-use npm repository is just to register the current owner’s expired domain!

[https://mastodon.social/@lrvick @lrvick]

I just noticed "foreach" on npm is controlled by a single maintainer.

I also noticed they let their domain expire, so I bought it before someone else did.

I now control "foreach" on NPM, and the 36826 projects that depend on it.

@ben_burnes Yeah, it's in this thread, but the track is Bartok (Extended Mix) by Nora En Pure - here on BeatPort but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere as well:
https://t.co/b78SJyp4br

At 3:09 it moves into melodic strings and it reminded me of that mix tape.

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@NoraEnPure there is something about #Bartok that I cannot figure out. I’m going to age myself a bit here but it reminds me of some trance/techno track from the late 90s but I can’t remember what it was. Has anyone else made mention of that connection? I love it!

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@ben_burnes we need to find that mix tape that you had back then!

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

Extended Mix, starting at 3:09, that section. It’s so moving to me! ❤️🎶

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@SGgrc did you see this one yet? It even affects the current Windows 11 build. https://t.co/s2lDXDBkE4

[Jason Egan @beguil3d]

@DescStudios Why are you considering changing the name? Maybe there are some legal details we’re not privy to but I thought you owned it? I was hoping you’d keep it!
