I can't do just one post about GearBlastUK can I?
I really want to talk about this weekend but I promised... in order ye shall get it.
I participated in the drone photo shoot and got some amazing photos from @badwolfphotos

Your SSH honeypot fakes a Linux system and logs the threat actor's commands.
My SSH honeypot hijacks the threat actor's terminal to play the music video of Rick Astley's 1987 pop hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" while ignoring Ctrl-C.
We are not the same.
Bad idea: a website that tracks how long it's been since U2 played "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" in concert.
That way we'll know if they ever find it, since we can assume they'll stop playing the song.
It's like a musical warrant canary: as long as they keep playing it, we know they've not found it

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works, huh?
don’t call me a gentleman
i’m not a man
and i’m not gentle
call me “excluded statistical anomaly” and “a threat to regional public security”
or you can call me kuriko as well, hi.
Peter Matejic on Joseph Rowntree Foundation's research into attitudes to health care in Britain:
'This research shows that the public feel they can no longer count on the NHS to provide a universal service that’s free at the point of delivery because some NHS services are now so difficult to access' - from dentistry to counselling; we all now expect to pay to get health care.
So, the Tories engineered NHS crisis has had exactly the intended effect!

Well, it finally happened. One of the kid’s friends sent her a link to a YouTube video featuring this tweet and asked “Is that you??”

When UX designers design their user interfaces, they should always include "vomiting child" in their user flows.
That is, they should take all their well designed and thoughtful user flows and insert "and suddenly the user's child vomits".
If the UX isn't robust enough to handle the user running off to deal with a vomiting child for twenty minutes, it is a bad user flow.
immediately makes me think of Windows Update.
Windows nags me about some OS patch. I authorise it to start downloading. Then I go away and leave it to get on with it.
I come back half an hour later and find that it auto-suspended the machine after 10 minutes because it believed it was just idle. So that's as far as the download got.
I can only get it to finish an update if I nudge the mouse every 9 minutes – even though _it_ wanted the update even more than I did!
The 2024 FAAFO (F*ck Around And Find Out) Award goes to Elon Musk for daring the Brazilian Government to ban X (formerly Twitter) and then whining about "free speech" when they actually did ban it. I should point out that X was in breach of Brazilian law for allowing hate speech, but you know, Elon never met a Nazi he didn't like.
Please join me in saying a big - Congratulations Elon!

When he’s not busy being one of our best fiction writers, Ted Chiang has become our best critic of generative AI:
“The programmer Simon Willison has described the training for large language models as ‘money laundering for copyrighted data,’ which I find a useful way to think about the appeal of generative-A.I. programs: they let you engage in something like plagiarism, but there’s no guilt associated with it because it’s not clear even to you that you’re copying.”

Our new house has what appears to be only a pair of satellite signal cables coming to the area where the TV bracket is installed, and it would be a pain to install terrestrial cables instead (probably ripping up the whole concrete floor!) so, despite never having used satellite before I'm now looking for a freesat box.
Looking around Ebay, the Humax Foxsat-HDR is what I notice the most. It appears to be quite an old product, but is only about 50 quid and presumably should view, record and play freesat channels. My question is, is there any reason it wouldn't work? Have satellite broadcast standards changed in the last 10 or so years? Different codecs, or anything like that that would obsolete older boxes? Presumably the EPG and programme recording would work the same as it did back then?
Also am I right in thinking that the satellite dish receivers (LNBs) don't need power, or get it from the box they are connected to? (I.e. they don't need separate power supplies.)
I'm hoping things haven't changed too much and I should just be able to grab one of these older boxes relatively cheaply, plug it into the satellite cables and the TV/amp, and not have to spend more time thinking about how to get basic TV channels and recording/playback working for my parents.
One of the things you learn in #ArtSchool, at least when you're studying #Sculpture, is that a gentle rounded chamfer on the edge of a planar surface gives it a greater visual sense of mass - as little as 1mm on a 25mm thick plate of steel, will make that steel appear more solid.
This is why a #Tesla #Cybertruck looks like it's make of tinfoil - all the edges are too sharp. It gives away how tissue-thin the panels are, and makes it look cheap & insubstantial.
Saw this satire article elsewhere. Made me laugh lol.
Edit: I have learned it’s from The Daily Tism:

moreutils is a package worth checking out.
I'm a big fan of:
ts - Adds or converts timestamps for stdin
sponge - prevents file clobbering
vipe - edit stdin before it goes back out
