Years ago, I got to interview and hang out with Kevin Smith backstage before a show, and he was incredibly kind and generous with his time.

It's good that he's now talking openly about his mental health struggles, and I know he's worried that he's going to get hate for it so I'm sharing this for the positive vibes that should be sent his way. people.com/health/clerks-direc

The inventor of the hashtag @chrismessina just quit Twitter

@tqbf my late grandfather was a blacksmith initially by trade when he started working in his v. early teens growing up in rural Tipperary in Ireland. He worked on horseshoes, wrought iron and the like. He graduated as a self-taught metalworker into working as a mechanic at factories and also doing repairs on agricultural machinery in the locality. He was as they say, some operator.

"your reputation when you refuse to moderate is not “the grand enabler of free speech.” Because it’s the internet itself that is the grand enabler of free speech. When you’re a private centralized company and you don’t deal with hateful content on your site, you’re the Nazi bar.”

@fugueish@infosec.exchange the very clear refutation of sso.tax is going to be helpful in the long run. I'm also a big fan of the advice to provide rich audit trails to customers for free. Banking that one for future internal discussions myself.

Ask for help if you need it.

Apologies for any follow-noise resulting from the recreation of this server!

Guess who locked themselves out of their Takahe server host and had to re-create it? (thankfully a very easy task with nix). I accidentally removed the "tailscale" module from the host's Nix definition and it disabled the service *exactly* as I asked it to leaving me with no means of access. 2Secure4Me
