@MarkGreaneyBook Start with book #1, the investment in time is totally worth it! Such a great series.

If you're wondering where to start with my ongoing Gray Man series, there are two recommended entry points. Of course, the first is book #1, The Gray Man. But if catching up on a long running series is a roadblock, you can also start at book #11, which serves as a bit of an origin story for the Gray Man.

@dotMudge @RayRedacted @dildog @medus4_cdc @Jun34u_sec I seem to remember Demon Roach Underground added an ASCII Express hack (called the Polka AE?) if you typed "KILL" at the login prompt. (I assume that was the trick he was referring to..). Those were the days.

@RayRedacted @dildog @medus4_cdc @Jun34u_sec AE as in ASCII Express servers? From the old Apple ][+ days? Which trick?

16 year-old Ray would be absolutely blown away by my lab and some of my AI research, but would be utterly shocked at how hacker culture evolved and exploded. (More than once!) He would also freak out that sql injections and buffer exploits are still widely used. As is NMAP!

@Sonos At this point, posts about goofy new headphones instead of what you're doing to fix existing paying customers would be completely unbelievable, if we hadn't watched this disaster unfold for the last couple months. No company leadership remaining.

Beat the heat with a refreshing collection of stations specially curated for summer ☀️ Chase the sunset with 60s folk-rock jams on Endless Summer. Or cool off with thirst-quenching Motown melodies on Heat Wave. Listen for free on Sonos Radio.

Update: I've bought a couple @wiimhome devices to try out, and I'm pretty happy with them (and the software) so far. Included the now useless @sonos connect amp in the picture for scale.

What's everyone replacing their now-useless @Sonos gear with? The new application has made mine largely unusable - can't find devices randomly, keeps forgetting my Connect:Amps, ridiculous lag. A little surprising they're unwilling to do anything about such a widespread problem.

@Sonos Unbelievable. This list of fixes is like the Titanic's chief engineer saying "I fixed the leaky sink in the bathroom" but ignoring the giant hole in the side of ship. And then being proud of themselves for it. This isn't a software problem anymore, this is a leadership problem.

Thank you for your patience as we work to improve your app experience. Today’s update 80.04.04 for iOS and Android adds: ▪️ Improved alarm configuration with VoiceOver and Talkback ▪️ Autoplay setting for analog devices using line-in for Android

@slo1911 @Sonos Looks cool, I'll check it out!

@erikbeebe @Sonos Fuck sonos. Control4 all the way.

@vshamapant Congratulations!

Congratulations Dr. Nikhil Shamapant!

@flightradar24 Definitely this one (B-17G - "Nine-O-Nine", flying out of Moffett Field in CA, around ~2005, years before its unfortunate crash in CT).

What's the coolest aircraft you have flown on? Drop us your suggestions. 👇

@stevewoz Awesome Klein bottle - Cuckoos Egg fans unite!

I bought a Klein bottle from Acme Klein Bottles. Many of the best things in my life, that got me here, aren't super functional but they are cool. kleinbottle.com. I also bought a small Klein bottle earring for Janet.

@chrisalbon If you like the tiling window manager experience that things like i3wm/AwesomeWM/Xmonad provide in the Linux environment, then Yabai is worth trying. I've been using it for a few months now after moving back to OSX for work, and its simple, fast, and easy to customize.

@bsdbandit Happy birthday bsd!

Thank everybody for all your awesome birthday wishes it’s truly a blessing to be able to live to see another year feeling free at 43 I love you all owwwwww yip yip 

@vshamapant @ShilpaShamapant Congrats!

So proud of our daughter Pallavi - getting her white coat at wake forest medical school today @ShilpaShamapant

@viamrobotics Nice! What microcontroller(s) are you running? Some variety of Arduino?

One of our engineers pulled some parts out of the trash and hacked together a robotic base.... Do you think it'll work? #upcycling #robotics #robots #viamrobotics #hoverboard #hacking #diy #maker #hardware

@gerphimum Congrats!

I was promoted to Staff Software Engineer today! 🎉

@shmoocon Sounds like a good decision given the current state of the pandemic. Looking forward to March!

ShmooCon 2022 postponed to March 24-26. More information here: shmoocon.org/2021/12/30/shm…

IntelliJ tip of the day: If you run IntelliJ in Docker on X11, and your icons disappear after upgrading to 2021.*, add this to your vmoptions: -Dremote.x11.workaround=false (JBR-2755). That took a while to figure out..

@rogerb Beautiful! NL is amazing.

#Utrecht - Fall

"The aufs storage-driver is no longer supported." Did docker really destroy itself with no warning in the middle of an apt-get upgrade on a LTS branch? That's cool, rebuilding 200 containers because of a minor patch should be fun. Is podman a reasonable replacement for this yet?
