*This* is how you hack: an adventure in Palm emulation. This is some of the most interesting stuff I've read in years. http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=27.%20rePalm
I just found out that Joe Armstrong died and I can't find the right words to say how sad I am right now. I never had the chance to write Erlang professionally, but learning it many years ago had a profound influence over the way I think about my programs, and over the way I think about my profession. I had a great deal of admiration for his work and his approach to engineering.
Rest in peace, Joe Armstrong!
A classic piece on the perils of miscommunicating complex technical matters -- and on the unfortunate pervasiveness of this practice.

This was all the rage on the interwebs a few days ago but I was in bed with no interwebs a few days ago and I think it deserves a repost.
Those of you who follow Adrian Collyer's Morning Paper probably saw this already, but for everyone else: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ndss2019_01A-2_Yun_paper.pdf . I'm gonna go out on a limb here and speculate that this is actually how TEE was initially envisioned to be used.

A warning for those who build a livelihood on proprietary systems and services:
Cloud9 (cloud IDE, deployment, and hosting) was bought by Amazon a few years ago, and is now shutting down its original service this December, leaving users scrambling who don't want to migrate to AWS.
https://community.c9.io/t/is-cloud9-being-replaced-with-aws-cloud-9/20910
* One user has 147 Cloud9 projects that he doesn't know what to do with;
* Another spent countless hours building course-ware and video tutorials that are now completely useless.

Working in a server room, when I start thinking, "Gosh, I am feeling really hot" and about 30 seconds later realizing that is very much a bad thing and reset the breaker on the chilling unit. 😅

Your password must contain at least one letter, one number, one number in place of a letter, one letter in place of a number, one special character, one normal character, one meme, the number 69, and a partridge in a pear tree
So I've been putting this off for too many years now -- I finally read that damn stash of Docker tutorials that's been setting in my "Article spool" folder for like three years, and moved my personal wiki to a Docker setup.
Do I get kombucha now?

Touching the Untouchables–36 new security vulnerabilities in LTE standard:
https://syssec.kaist.ac.kr/pub/2019/kim_sp_2019.pdf (PDF file)
– attacks result in Denial of Service (no LTE available), spoofed SMS, or manipulated user traffic
– there are very likely more security vulnerabilities that remain unfixed in cellular networks

Home-made weather station:
Built with an ESP8266 micro-controller, BME280 temperature/humidity/pressure sensor and a 0.96" OLED display.
The case is a printed version of the modular-case project I announced here a few weeks ago: https://github.com/muesli/modular-case

@Ondo well, I have many projects at the moment, but I guess if I had to pick one I'd tell you about @cloud and its ongoing giveaway, at: https://ap.lollipopcloud.solutions/notice/9gD2o5TeNJn9GH110q 
The Lollipop Cloud project is an attempt to make hosting personal internet services such as a website, contact list, remote file storage, or a calendar more accessible to users through open source technology and ARM Computing. It allows for anyone with an ARM computer to host their own services.

Hey developers & ActivityPub enthusiasts!
@GetTogetherComm is a free open alternative to MeetUp.com.
The lead developer needs help with implementing federation, either coding or better documentation about ActivityPub.
There's an open issue for it here:
https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether/issues/60
There's been discussion but no code contributions yet.
Can you help?
(It would be *so* cool to get this kind of service federated, imagine every town having its own instance 
)

Please boost!
My partner just asked if Mastodon has any accounts or conversations related to transverse myelitis, with which she has been diagnosed since 2013.
She's not on Mastodon but is considering it; she hasn't enjoyed encounters with TM groups on Facebook (kind of an anti-vaxxer / thoughts and prayers / tinfoil hat crowd).
Shot in the dark, but would anyone be welcoming of her and hearing her if she gets a Mastodon account?
