We tend to think of things like small scooters and alternative transportation as β€œnew" things, but here's a photo of a couple on a scooter from 1923.

It's kind of amazing how far back some of our tech goes. And what's brought us to where we are. Similarly, electric cars were all the rage in the early 1900's.

You can't give workers hope for a better future. Because if you DO, they might start to expect one. And you'll be an in even WORSE state there.

Best to affirm the belief that everything is shit and always will be shit. That way no one is disappointed.

Speaking of shell prompt styles, mine is an unusual one that I picked up from a friend at university.

The general idea is to start with ':' and end with ';' (plus a space if you like, which I do). That way you can paste a command from one terminal to another _with_ its prompt (fewer mouse clicks), and the prefixed prompt turns into a harmless no-op command.

Minimal style is just ":;". I use ": hostname; ". You could also include the cwd or other stuff, as long as you shell-quote it safely.

Forst mastodon (AP)
Hm, good point, and to make things even more complicated, one may have a background picture in the terminal. By the looks of it, there is no ANSI escape sequence that would make a character actually invisible/transparent.
Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)

@forst indeed, I don't know of one.

I'm not sure I'd _want_ one to exist, either. I can see the use in your case, but it feels like the kind of feature that could also be abused for 'looks like this, copy-pastes as that' tricks, or other borderline security issues.

The web has enough of that kind of problem that one often uses a terminal as a more-trusted way to check whatever the browser just told you that you're not sure you trust. So we need terminals to stay less deceptive than browsers!

Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)
@forst … in fact now I realise that what you're trying to do is _precisely_ a "looks like this, pastes as that" exploit. The only difference is that in this one case the terminal user is consenting!
Forst mastodon (AP)
Agreed. Anything I see in the web I either type manually or first paste to a text editor, to make sure there's no hidden trickery on the web page.
Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)

@forst but I know there are people who don't believe it, and think "this is no less secure than a web browser" is a good argument for putting a feature into terminals.

Sooner or later _some_ cursedΒΉ terminal program will implement an OSC escape that takes a payload of arbitrary CSS. And then one with Javascript!

ΒΉ that is, if that terminal is not already cursed, it will be after it does that

Forst mastodon (AP)
The scary part is that terminals are not sandboxed in any way, so anything that interacts with it has a lot more side effects than a modern web browser. To the point I don't know if I trust my terminal emulator, say, if I SSH onto some host that runs untrusted code.
Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)

@forst I suppose so, although in counterpoint, at least the language you can speak to a terminal is pretty limited.

I think if someone did build a terminal with CSS and JS extensions, so that anyone who could emit escape sequences to your terminal could push code to the terminal emulator that it would run, then sandboxing would be absolutely necessary.

Without that, you have to do exploit attempts the old-fashioned way, like ESC]0;<buffer-overflowing window title><ROP chain>^G or whatever.

Forst mastodon (AP)
The example I had in my mind are escape codes for controlling the clipboard (copy/paste), for example. Some emulators have safeguards against this or just don't implement it, but gotta admit it's pretty convenient.
Simon Tatham mastodon (AP)
@forst I mean Javascript in a browser can already do that, and that _is_ sandboxed. That's less a question of "is the code wrapped in some WASM-style thing as an extra defence against memory safety bugs?" and more "what OS accesses did the terminal / browser author deliberately give to the server-supplied output stream?"

this is supposedly an actual product being sold, but it looks like a scam to me. all the pics of it look AI generated to me, the sales price seems unreasonably low. the seller has a bunch of complaints filed for other scammy products, and there are a number of counterbalancing positive reviews that look AI written to me (all the positive reviews are worded differently but have almost exactly the same talking points)

Them: It's fine! Stop fussing! Life isn't like the text books.

Them: WHY? Why did you not tell me that cycling backwards into a dynamite factory, wearing roller skates and magnesium underpants, juggling flaming torches, with a pack of hungry hyenas chasing me, would be dangerous?? This is YOUR FAULT!

If you do not know of the fantastic #FoxesInLove :

a) You should.

b) Be careful! I think that Kyu (my partner) and I might have just ended up in its universe without realising it. Transcript follows.

Tundra: What is that noise?
Kyu: It's quite annoying.

Tundra: It sounds like an old road drill, or some sort of burglar alarm.
Kyu: I don't think it's a road drill.

Tundra: Well, either that or an electric woodpecker has gone out of control.
Kyu: That's the most likely explanation, yes.

Zelus von Lila mastodon (AP)

Oh I was doing just the last month first as a test. You can see it didn't run anything as the forbidden errors popped up the moment you try running it.

Not sure if it's something to do with uBlock, or the browser (as I get 2 different types of errors on Firefox vs. Chrome). Gonna have to go through 6 month chunks for how many years I have to go back on both accounts. Going to take me a long time.

@Zelus Dunno. I'd probably have to see your code, but also if you were a prolific tweeter, then yeah, it'll take more time.
Zelus von Lila mastodon (AP)
Wouldn't say prolific, just very long run accounts. Average .8-1.3 tweets/day for 12/15 years respectively.
Zelus von Lila mastodon (AP)

Decided to start the process again fresh using Edge. Same exact result unfortunately.

403 Forbidden error when I run it, even though the Authorization Bearer code is exactly the same across all the browsers.

I never used Edge on this PC yet either so it was about as fresh as can be.

@Zelus Did you update the other fields as well, including the dates?
Zelus von Lila mastodon (AP)

Yep, followed the instructions to the letter.. (I do SQL inquiries often enough, so nothing new)

Something with the API just will not play nice with the script for me. I even removed all adblock stuff.

Only other thing I can think of is my DNS PiHole might be blocking the address.

I have so many layers of ad/track protection on my network.. But at least I never see any ads anywhere. Comes at a cost of many sites now not allowing VPN's connecting any more.

@Zelus Mmm...I couldn't speak to that. I just updated the 3-4 fields, plugged in the dates, and then the script was good to go for me, though even when it works you'll likely need to run it more than once. NBD at that point though.

I'm sorry, but Centrists need to HURT for what they've done to America. If they can just sit back and enjoy the show while Progressives fight the Fascism that they've enabled to take control of our government, we can't let them get off easy by doing all the fighting for them.

If Centrists don't hurt from the decision they've made, then this fight will never end.

yeah, my last AC was 2019. Round trip economy to Pittsburgh around a major holiday was consistently $100-200 more than first class to Chicago for MFF at the beginning of December.

@tango TBF 2019 was also my last AC. :p

I really wanted to go again this year, but for various reasons I just couldn't get all the pieces in place. Oh well.


Three-day weekend seems like a good occasion to honor #NoTwitterYotevember. Blanking the Tweets now.

So James sent me a cool video.

Sort of fun DIY project…

Sort of starts with saw this bit of wood.
Drill these holes.
Then sand this bit.
Then use your router to cut a slot.
Then put in your lathe to round this bit.
Then use your band saw.
Then your 3D printer.
Then your CNC milling machine.
Then your industrial kiln.

Well, feels like that. Quickly escalates to like β€œeveryone has this huge fully equipment workshop at home, surely”…

Erik Ableson mastodon (AP)

@neil Hmmm. I feel seen here as someone who self-hosts everything important to me (and is only missing the band saw, lathe and kiln from the previous list)

That said, all of my tools are at best, prosumer so they are not up to a lot of the tasks that people on Youtube blithely pull up to without mentioning that this tool costs $x, requires triple phase power, dedicated floor space since it weighs 200kg, and an industrial dust evacuation system, ...

Plus my work and storage spaces are measured in single-digit meters squared

ZS mastodon (AP)

Yeah, I love those, especially as my woodworking tools consist of a 50 year old electric jigsaw, a 60 year old plane with a knackered blade, and a wobbly old Black and Decker Workmate.

I also have zero skills, despite Dad being a qualified cabinet maker.


Thank you, Wil.

Hmmmmmmmmm. I tried to port our landline phone number from the old house to Flextel, so I can point it at their voicemail service and get messages as WAV files by email, but they say they can't accept porting orders at the moment because of "a revised industry process which is having teething problems and we do not feel confident that we could, in good faith, take on the port without the risk of loss of service". I'm guessing that's OTS/TOTSCo, the one @RevK :verified_r:'s running commentary a while back was not giving anyone any faith in. I haven't yet asked them whether, by "loss of service" they mean a risk of actually losing the number, or just having an outage on the number. So, I wonder what to do now. Port elsewhere? I'd like to get the number virtualised at some point soon. Can any provider port a number in the UK these days without risk? Hmmm!
RevK :verified_r: mastodon (AP)
OTS is just a front end on this, the underlying number porting process is the same. So odd if they stopped doing ports.

Pippin friendica
Well, it's ported to Voipfone! The number was "not recognised" for maybe a day while in limbo between BT and Voipfone, but I eventually got an email to say the port had succeeded, and I now get a WAV file emailed to me whenever anyone phones it and leaves a message. Success. πŸ™‚

it's not just the BBC, every cunt does that these days.

I truly hate this kind of thing, where they grease the path of least resistance and impose maximum friction on the option that actually gives you a proper choice.

The constant need to "make money" inevitably just makes everything subjectively worse. It's depressing.

In my personal opinion, trains leaving from and going to the same location shouldn't cost different prices depending on the operator.

But here we are. Going between Reading and Basingstoke you can either pay more to use the slow frequent train, or less to use the fast infrequent train.

Use the ticket on the wrong service, and you can expect to buy a second ticket.
