I think someone didn't adequately test a fontend change b/c in traffic I saw all of the chat-history data come my way but it didn't display. Also the javascript applet I use to export chats in markdown is...failing in very interesting way. No time to track down the bug atm (also if it going to keep changing for a while there's no point).

The top search results all point to this post and a reddit post from about the same time with no replies.

So, protected tweets why?

Slashdot's moderation system (in theory) is excellent. It is more than a + / - button so I don't see it working in a faster-paced environment like facebook comments. I think the happy, sad, angry, and heart emoji-rating system they use now is probably already maxing out the amount of time a user will spend on rating something.

I wish all README.md came this sexy.

I would guess it has something to do with cisco asking them to help alleviate issues with their 1.1.1.1 squatting on a bunch of devices. I tested it when it came out, and if I set my DNS to 1.1.1.1, then logged into a hotel wireless network (that I knew was running those devices), as soon as a request was made, I was logged out of the captive portal.

I would have expected 1.1.1.1 to already be blocked if anyone filters on bogon-space (or has dealt with i

Is there a database of who blocks what? I searched but didn't find a collection anywhere.

Unless we are looking at port 25 and whatnot. Yes, it is not allowing you to use a (not technically)-arbitrary port, but most would agree that the internet is better off for that.

Shush, you're making a valid point.

Every company that is fighting DDPR needs to fire legal and compliance. It literally says 'blah blah <stuff none of them want to do> by this/specific/date, NO EXCEPTIONS'

It's hard to separate what actually came from China, and what didn't come from China. Not that it isn't obvious (I mean really, you invented the spoon -- also claimed by Korea but whatever -- information overload so they have done themselves a disservice.

précis: Shadow Volume files are left after removing the encrypted files. POtentially allowing users to recover _some_ of the lost data.

When reading debates about reserving the digital space (not necessarily the typographic form) of certain characters, I always liken it to a typographer creating fonts for an advertisement. If the letter "g" is not needed for the ad, and the font is developed for the ad, why should the "g" glyph exist? If they release the font file (or it is extracted somehow) if "g" was never created, the space for it will exist, there will simply be no glyph for it.
