malware authors today don't even include ASCII art of laughing skulls in their viruses. where is their respect for the craft

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

Confused about which Java SDK you should be using in development and production? This blog post aims to clear the confusion! https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/01/16/which-java-sdk

Back in the 90s a lot of us were drawn towards #Linux even though people told us it was inconvenient. We used it nevertheless, whether it was out of curiosity, counter-culture or simply because of "bragging factor". By doing that it was normalized as an OS, things improved, more software was written for it. These days it feels like the BSDs are experiencing the same kind of development. I think this is great! #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD #HardenedBSD #BSD 🎉

Backdoor discovered in Ruby strong_password library

interesting read "Why the Internet only just works" by Mark Handley http://www0.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/m.handley/papers/only-just-works.pdf (2006); and it only got worse since then, no? (with centralisation of services, the struggle to change the record layer protocol of TLS (issues due to middleboxes/DPI))... is there any hope to innovate the Internet protocol suite? (certainly delay-based congestion control in TCP made it, but that required only changes on one side, not both)... when will there be multicast? IPv6? SCTP?
