With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

What's that tool you used to pull the booted RJ45s with? I don't really touch cabling much anymore, but I feel like I need that anyway

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised that this was a thing, but it kinda caught me off guard.

A fake book called "Vibe Coding" and the subtext says "I'm a developer now" and it shows Ralph Wiggums from the Simpsons on the cover.

😂

BREAKING.

From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.

I was going to get in touch to see if he was interested in finding another maintainer, found a link to his FB profile from his GitHub profile, and noticed the post saying he had passed. That is if I'm understanding the translation of the post correctly. It's a sad way to find out.

@samatkins.co Thanks for forking pylibyear, it solved some problems with libyear running on newer python versions.

So I hate to be the one to mention this, but I think the author of the original Python project (Nasir Hussain) passed away back in May of 2021.

TIL that (at least some) filing cabinets have a big block of concrete at the back. It makes complete sense but I just never knew...

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

It doesn't get you out of doing labs and POCs to ensure it actually does work, but that makes it a lot harder to fudge an RFP response

@ehorley.bsky.social @jjx.bsky.social Listened to PP046. on the topic of RFPs and getting IPv6 support in enterprise gear: Apparently one of the few phrases that can actually get through is "must work in the *absence of IPv4*" because "works on IPv6" isn't specific enough.

Dawww thanks :D

Can't say I'm awesome, but I am one of the Omaha folk

The argument that one unified voice gets NE more attention is flawed. We get far more attention when both parties think they need to work for our vote. The same is true for other states too.

@meganhunt.bsky.social I see the effort to make Nebraska a winner take all state is back... I know you'll fight against it but is there anything I as a private citizen can do beyond keeping you elected?

I take one issue with this and it's the word "cheaper". It might be cheaper than ChatGPT but it's probably not cheaper than a vanilla Google search circa 2022

Occasionally, I'll find a webpage or app that doesn't behave over 6RD and can only assume that it's the tunnel overhead capping the MTU, and something along the path is blocking the ICMPv6 "Packet Too Big"

Honestly, CenturyLink's 6RD implementation was fairly performant for me. I have gig fiber in Omaha and IPv6 speed tests are solidly above 500mbps and usually above 900mbps.

Still bug them for native IPv6 support. I've been doing it every few months.
