Me using youtube-dl.

This is taking a while. Wish I could stream.

Hey, I can ffplay the partial file. Wait, there's no sound.

Oh, that's a different stream format. I could download that.

Nah, it's half done. I'll wait.

Why is this taking forever? ^C this crap.

Now what was the magic number for the good format? Nope, that's not it.

Isn't there a list somewhere? How do I get this thing to print help?

Oh, wow, a new episode of Rick and Morty is available? I didn't want to watch a video I would learn from anyway.

Ah, went from not vulnerable to less vulnerable. Now back to regular nonsense.

Now to see how much pain and suffering is involved backporting #openbsd errata to 6.4.

I guess physical keyloggers are actually a big deal? Was not expecting that.

Humph. Why doesn't reality match my expectation?

@tedu you should join them.

Not in bringing first dates, I mean you should sit down with them and preach the BSD gospel.

Today's almost certainly snake oil security: a keyboard that blocks keyloggers. I'm not aware of many keyloggers which sniff the wire signal.

@tedu just enough time to get another cofe

Kinda suboptimal that the offline documentation tool "go doc" will stall for minutes if not connected to the network.

My preferred coffee shop has seemingly become the place to go for first dates. There are no words sufficient to express my displeasure.

Retweet if you remember when FAQs were called FAQs and not chatbots.

i like it when pci/usb devices have vendor ids that make it immediately clear to me who made the device

🌶️^H🥒: if I'm typing your language on a keyboard, syntax matters.

Where would investigative sports journalism be without this hard hitting analysis of #freedomball touchdown dance antics?

New #honk feature: annotations for follows and filters. Never again forget why you like or dislike somebody.

Ah yes, thanks to the golang-dev mailing list, I see that the official options is to...

*checks notes*

...just build an ancient version of golang to generate these files.

Somehow flak.blog counts as a "premium" domain and costs $280 per year. I should rebrand everything as honk.blog, for only $5. Nothing makes sense anymore.

"well, actually, 'hyperscale' isn't 100% buzzword."

DZ: I've seen worse

On the topic of shell metachars and globs and command arguments and such.

1. There's probably more than you think. rsyncing a file named google.com:backdoors will likely send your secret plans to the big G.

2. In many cases, programs and protocols do not require a file to exist, as in the classic git/hg name a subrepo ; cat /etc/passwd oops.

Which is to say, various fixes like the kernel won't let you create bad names are likely to be about as effective as web sites that don't let you create a user named select.

Welp, got the new screen protector nailed down. Looking good. Fine artisanal craftsmanship in the installation.

1. It's a plain matte cover, the only kind I really like. Much better feel than glass or shiny plastic. I like the papery look too.

2. The previous screen was a privacy protector, which had a cool black ops ninja vibe to it, but combines with curved screen edges to render some portions invisible even to me. Exacerbated by some people (jwz) who seem to have margin:0 set on their blog. Fun times tilting this way and that every line, reliving the 2003 TN experience.

3. Curved screens in general are kinda dumb.

I have a theory, though at this point I think it's more like a universal constant, that the more "technology" there is in a screen protector, the harder it will be to apply and the less well it will work. It's pretty bad when the instructions in the box are just "watch our 10 minute YouTube video six times before starting."

Choosing to believe that all posts about the AoC are about the other AOC.

I've been informed that #honk cannot be taken seriously without a project mascot. Fortunately, a solution presents itself.

Wishing everybody a fantastic Cyber Monday, here is Honk-sama.

Checking in on the coins of bits. Not much happening, just totally boring normal stuff.

Call the server police, somebody's asking about putting unauthorized RAM in their server. You need to comply with the manufacturer or face the consequences, citizen.

Golang brand asm is...weird.

Today's oddity is that they renamed all of the amd64/x86 jump instructions to match the m68k jump instructions.

But ppc and arm's jump instructions appear unrenamed.
