I just ordered Alice and Bob, which will be the test hosts. Once built, they will become alice.infosec.exchange and bob.infosec.exchange, and will only federate with each other for the purposes of security testing a similar instance configuration to that use by infosec.exchange.

Seen: "Under a libertarian system... they'd hire some mercs to assault your factory."

What is this Cyberpunk libertarianism, and where can I read more stories set in this world?

Given all the drama that's been happening on the bird site, this is starting to feel more relevant than ever.

BREAKING: Web browser Firefox can be used to access "sickening" illegal content online, prominent information security professionals demand its removal from app stores until Mozilla is willing to moderate "the WWW".

Incredible x86 emulator written by Fabrice Bellard in Javascript runs Linux: bellard.org/jslinux/
In the last 10 years since I originally posted this Fabrice has added multiple distros to this, real networking ability, support for many programs including compilers, a web browser, and the ability to run X windows, all running in the browser. This is the same guy who made QEMU, ffmpeg, Tiny C compiler and a faster way of computing Pi in hexadecimal. Have fun.

I would like to lobby for the conversation pit to return to interior design.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that it was the worst of times

Each new generation on the web needs to learn that there’s no such thing as a permanent web identity on a commercial web service.

The only long-term solution to maintain your identity is:
1. your own domain name
2. Your own website/blog
3. Several backups

Everything else is temporary. Your accounts on myspace, facebook, medium, twitter, google plus, youtube, tiktok, mastodon will one day disappear or become useless.

You don’t have a "community" on those websites. Only ephemeral discussions.

Looks like journos made a new instance to bypass the blocks on journo.host, newsie.social. Not doing a fediblock or anything like that, just giving a heads up.

Can we get an expectation that thoughtless tribal boosterism be put behind a cw?

Sometimes I see posts on here like “mastodon is too serious and businesslike, it needs more selfies and shitposts” and I’m like are we even using the same website but then I remember we very literally are not

New to Mastodon? A few tricks: 

1) Do not eat any food offered to you. Should a single grape or morsel pass your lips, you may find the path behind you has vanished and around your throat, a collar of servitude, to be worked off over thousands of years in the Dream Mines.

2) Do not give your true name. A name has power. Only use your true name in a DM to me, the only one who can cast the wards required to protect you in this realm. Be sure to attach a lock of your hair, electronically.

I got kicked out of karaoke night for singing "Danger Zone" six times in a row

I had exceeded my number of Loggins attempts.
