Microsoft did the June layoffs we knew were coming since January and pinned it on "AI cost savings" so that doing so would raise their stock price instead of lower it.

Look at cute little Ibuprofin!

I appreciated that in SNW they called it out as an odd name when SF adopted it officially.

I didn't watch the sewage pipe much but I kept up my subscription for the next seasons of Corn and Asparagus, but when they raised the price I had to finally cancel.

Mock the Week was cancelled for revealing the truth of The Dip

What if Felis catus is an alien race that enslaved humanity (to play with our genitals) and the reason they all look strange in art from this period is because they hadn't finished adapting to earth yet?

I'm an 18, but I'm here to see if anyone is routinely Donald Ducking it in bed, with a 5, 10, or 15.

They gave Betty White the best lines in that movie.

I suspect that cleaning the glue off the textured sheets is a bigger pain in the butt than off the smooth. But I say that as someone who never tried to clean PVA off of PEI.

I just use my textured sheet and remove very carefully - but I tend to use harder TPUs which makes flexing the sheet more effective.

I have heard people say that TPU is the reason they still keep a glue stick handy and the Prusa material matrix says to use it on their smooth PEI sheet. And it suggests a polypropylene sheet is also applicable without glue stick.

 

Alt Title: How to take over the world using abandoned S3 Buckets

Watchtowr has moved on from using expired domains to assume authority over entire TLDs and instead is using blind trust in S3 addresses to infiltrate governments and militaries across the world.

The TL;DR is that this time, we ended up discovering ~150 Amazon S3 buckets that had previously been used across commercial and open source software products, governments, and infrastructure deployment/update pipelines - and then abandoned.

As for the research itself, it panned out progressively, with S3 buckets registered as they were discovered. It went rather quickly from “Haha, we could put our logo on this website” to “Uhhh, .mil, we should probably speak to someone”.

These S3 buckets received more than 8 million HTTP requests over a 2 month period for all sorts of things -

  • Software updates,
  • Pre-compiled (unsigned!) Windows, Linux and macOS binaries,
  • Virtual machine images (?!),
  • JavaScript files...
 

Not as catchy as "swasticar," but I like it.

 

Good evening, Nick and fight fans throughout the Federation! Tonight, we bring you a battle of the virtual assistants—a clash of the quirky, the helpful, and the homicidal!

That's right Johnny. Badgey has a tip for Clippy, and it's at the end of a bat'leth.

 

Cuts are coming one way or another due to budget sort falls, but one of the three austerity scenarios would hit the libraries extra hard. Based on what I've heard a $2 million budget cut would certainly lead to fewer librarians, and quite possibly a branch closure as well. The last rounds of cuts are already adding up to somewhere in the $2 million region.

Might be good to pay some extra visits to the library and/or use some of the e-book services in the next few months. Help get the census numbers up a bit.

 

A large fulfillment center is being build next to the airport. Evidence seems to indicate it's amazon

 

I haven't been past the McDonald in a couple years. I'm going to have to make a point to detour that way when I'm next downtown.

 

I just stumbled on this new unofficial YT channel that's doing an episode by episode history lesson on MST3k, starting with the KTMA season. The main post link is the trailer and episode 1 on the Green Slime is also up.

According to the trailer she'll be each episode posting next Sunday AD, as is meant to be.

 

My high school friends and I used recite the Booze Council PSA at each other all the time. It's been running though my head since I saw the the Friday news dump. So I appreciated TV's Frank posting a link on BlueSky.

I was cleaning out our car after 17 years of loyal service and I found these unused tickets to see The Toasters at a great venue in Eugene, Oregon from January,08.

My wife and I aren't sure why we didn't go (or give away the tickets) but it probably was a combo of it being a Wednesday and that we moved the weekend before.

 

My gift's wrapping paper knows that Santa can't get his work done without Tux.Fittingly, inside were 3 PiZeros.

 

The only Christmas Carol I look forward to. From an episode that originally aired in July (Touch of Satan).

Enjoy the great taste of wassail, in cans!

 

As Home Assistant continues to grow and evolve, so does our commitment to making it more inclusive, accessible, and aligned with the diverse needs of our community. To that end, we’re launching an annual survey—and we hope you’ll participate!

We could keep assuming our community’s wants and needs, but we’d rather base our decisions on data-driven insights 😉. With this survey, we aim to better understand not just how you use Home Assistant, but also who you are as a person, a smart home user, and a member of our community.

First and foremost, the survey is entirely anonymous, and you can skip any question you don’t want to answer. For sensitive questions (e.g., gender), we provide options like “prefer not to say” or open text fields.


Normally I wouldn't spread word of a survey, but considering Fenick has suggested the Home Assistant community use BlueSky over Mastodon, I thought it might be a good idea to reaffirm to them that the Fediverse has a voice. I also wrote in Lemmy in "Other" responses where applicable.

It's a fairly long survey; they estimate 20 minutes, I think it took me around 15 after skipping a few questions.
