To the Tumblr refugees: welcome!

Having been on the Internet for over thirty years, I have one piece of advice for creative folks working online:

Control Your Platform.

Don't build a business around Facebook, Tumbler, G+, Geocities, MySpace, AltaVista, or any of these other third parties that claim to offer quick and easy results.

They all go away. Every one of them.

Build your own site. Use third parties to steer people to your site.

Third parties are the devil--useful devils, but devils.

Btw: If you need help backing up your #tumblr or their backup tool is not working for you I'll gladly help you save your stuff
(feel free to boost)

We will be extending no nut November

When he came out as gay while in high school, his mother was relieved, Mr. Hill recalled. “She said, ‘Well, we notice you dress up more than the other boys in the neighborhood, and we thought you were trying to pretend to be wealthier than we are, and we were afraid you might grow up to be a Republican. So if you’re gay, we can handle that.” Ray Hill, ‘citizen provocateur’ who fought for gay rights and prison reform, dies at 78

Kennt sich hier wer mit #GPLv2 aus? Mich würde interessieren, ob man irgendetwas veröffentlichen muss, wenn man eine GPLv2 Software (wireguard) auf einem nicht Standard Linux (QNAP NAS) zum laufen bekommt und ein "fertiges" Paket anbieten (qpkg) möchte. #followerpower #GNU #GPL #QNAP

Basic documentation for the PaX SEGVGUARD implementation in #HardenedBSD is now written: https://github.com/HardenedBSD/hardenedBSD/wiki#pax-segvguard

A more in-depth technical write-up still needs to be performed. That will come with time.

Im Seminarraum.

A common bug is to leave sensitive mem uncleared and reuse memory (e.g. via #malloc’s cache) without proper initialisation, leading to secret leakage. The purpose of freezero() and recallocarray() is to protect against that threat. Big threat to the application is the application.

Stellt sich raus... unser Server war unserem Chef zu laut und ist aus dem Serverschrank in ein separates Kabuff gewandert. Nur OHNE FUCKING USV. Na hoffentlich ist da nichts kaputt gegangen beim Stromausfall am Samstag in #Aachen
