Not off topic at all! The title is wrong and should be fixed!

All the OP had to do is just copy->paste :^P

Maybe it is just me but I find it jarring when someone decides "Nah, copy /paste is for shumucks, I'll type it all myself." and then does a silly typo some people's brains go like "Huh!? That doesn't look right. What's an 'artic'?".

Tip for HN - look what https://lobste.rs/ is doing: you paste the URL, and it gets the title for you. What kind if witchcraft is that!? ;^)

I'm so sick and tired of businesses abusing my trust and/or not publishing their security breaches that I'm using plus ('+') email addresses everywhere, i.e.:

[email protected]

for regular interactions, or:

[email protected]

for one-off interactions.

Won't help with historical abuses/data breaches but it'll certainly be invaluable in the future.

tl;dr

https://securitytxt.org/ got published as an RFC :^)

I've been using a USB Philips ACC2310 Foot Control (https://www.dictation.philips.com/gb/products/transcription-...) with OpenBSD's usbhidctl(1) - https://man.openbsd.org/usbhidctl.1 - for years :^)
