This.

If something is a vector for evil, it’s crucial that we invest good in it. And with tech it’s doable and quite enjoyable i’d say.

Wait, isn’t it all esthetics at the end of the day?

We should stop using adverbs

Wtf

Mother of Pearls this threw me down a rabbit hole of the best junk shop glam rock! Here have some: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5LhcmS6pleBZg7rMIGmpjX60y-EyLihY

You ready Steve ?! Andy ?! Mick ?! LET’S GOOOOO

Yo srsly

This is the transhumanism I like.

Jokes aside, how did you deal with your papers from the past? I do this with all new incoming mail, but I can’t for the life of me find the time to scan the pile of taxes, bills, medical reports, etc. that has accumulated over 3 thousand years of family life.

That’s a good question.

Oh yeah I didn’t mean we all sound the same. It is after all a quest of finding your sound, as in a sound that is uniquely yours. But in the limits of what the genre is

Makes me think of the (soundscape) leveling role of mixing engineers in rock music (my area)

I suspect it is all a trick to teach people how to use a compressor

And I’m reeling with you! And your solarpunk nickname is perfect! It blows my mind that you can experience the same stimuli in a distinctly different way. It means that the normal “common” way of experiencing the world is anecdoticaly shared with a lot of other all-the-same-and-glad-about-it human beings, but narrow and selective. I don’t mean to romanticize your condition in any way. But I don’t think mine should be romanticized either.

I wish I could share your pain as the sirens go by, because I wish I could make it easier for you, but also because experiencing it in a distinctly different way would broaden my world, as I would be able to think about another, not less true, not less important, perspective. Or put another way: Sex is boring, I need to start paying more attention to my arms.

Now, allow me to ask how we could write forward with this speculative interspecies poiesis, peotry, or sensible beauty in form of words.

How wide is diversity?

Others taste and feel the desiccation of salt on their skin differently than me. Some, like our dude Pudding here, don’t form lasting images in a centralized nervous system about it. They can’t recall a memory of the sting of salt, nor the warmth of umami on their tastebuds.

But what does a hypersensible synesthete feel when the light breeze carries salt from the sea?

The neurodiverging spectrum on which we place autism as far away from us as we can, is a continuum we do not dare to think too much about. Heavy is the hand that shelters us into the norm. But from a position of privilege, we should remain able to ask respectfuly.

How does Pudding care about the world? How can anyone not care about their world?

A newborn learns the world by licking the salt of my sweaty hand. By trial and errors the images form, and the accumulation of stimuli shapes a world. Always welcoming the stimuli is an absolute necessity, but so is remaining in a state of irreverent flexibility. Nothing is ever so sure, shared, sufficient that it should be taken for granted! Stay with the trouble.

What can Pudding teach us? A lot apparently. So can we all teach each others something, can’t we?

This whole thread (that I shamelessly hijacked) is very informative and allowed me to understand that cybersecurity is in practice a mixture of concrete nerdy log books and vague feeling of being under a threshold of worthiness.

I woke up this morning and there was a faint noise coming from the server: immediately thought “ok that’s it, it’s pawned and become a node in a vast grid of malicious bots”…it was a cron verification of drives

Low hanging fruits are, in my personal case, pictures of my cats and public domain cultural artefacts.

Industrializing hacking of random servers sounds like a shitty idea at the end of the day…

Ignoring ? Nah someone mentionned my ISP might be protecting me uphill.

Non standard port. But aren’t secret chinese hack farm scanning wider than just 22 ? I don’t know and deep down believe that it’s pawned and scrubbing logs.

React2Shell is exactly the shitshow situation yes. Suddenly we are all at risk. But in this case, I’m sorry to say that my cats’ pictures are worthless.

Your point on nginx/wireguard makes me think that it might be better to htaccess through a reverse proxy than relying on a built in login system. For exemple, I should deactivate jellyfin’s login and put it behind an htaccess at the proxy’s level. Is that completely dumb?

Anyway, I clearly need to research “threat models” and cyber/infosec more. Thank you very much!
