Ugh. I would like to restream #EmacsConf from Icecast video to a Youtube live stream for extra discoverability, but I'm having a hard time figuring out an ffmpeg command that I can run on my P52 without having the audio stutter. Any chance someone already has a favorite incantation?

Today, October 14, a group of NYC hackers overloads the Gibson and destroys the Da VInci virus, defeating the hacker Eugene "The Plague" Belford and saving the world from an environmental disaster (Hackers, 1995) #HackThePlanet

It's finally time I get my giant pile of Org notes and todo lists sorted out.

The goal is to integrate all my tasks, notes, blog posts, and random scraps of information into a coherent structure. All tied together with Emacs, of course.

I've been working on a package to emulate some of the features I liked in Obsidian without the intensity of something like Org-roam. Everyone seems to have their own package for this, but I guess that's the fun of Emacs.

I'm keeping the principles of GTD and Zettelkasten at the heart of everything. That being the case, I'm finding Jethro Kuan's articles quite helpful: https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/org_mode_workflow_preview/

The #defcon32 presentations are now live and available for your perusal on the #DEFCON media server, free of all commercials, data capture or pesky algorithms. We suggest clearing some disk space and personal time this weekend to snatch up some of the many, many jewels our speakers dropped in Las Vegas. While you’re on media.defcon.org you can also find the slide decks, a ton of pictures and even the DC32 soundtrack. Enjoy, learn a few things and #passiton.

We’ll be posting the videos on YouTube Monday.

I need a small favor: I’m planning to livestream a hyper-local candidate forum for our small town’s local election next week, but I just found out you can’t livestream from a mobile device on YouTube until your channel has 50 subscribers!

If 49 more people could subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/@CoastsideCivic (feel free to unsubscribe after Thursday next week) it would really help me out

And if you’re interested in El Granada California local elections come along on Wednesday https://coastsidecivic.com

At this stage, honestly, we should all stop using Firefox to send a clear message to Mozilla.

Chromium, IceFox and, in the future Servo and Ladybird: anything is better than the dumpster fire that Firefox is quickly becoming.

I would also love for the major Linux distros (and/or the Linux foundation) to take a stand and hard fork Firefox to remove all the nonsense that is constantly added.

Boost if you agree.

Sometimes people ask me why I like #OpenBSD so much.

Over the weekend Theo de Raadt the founder of the whole project emailed me and my PhD student to say he liked our paper (and that it was 95% correct). We have never interacted with him before and the paper was published in a tiny workshop and on arXiv. He just stumbled on it.

#PSA #PayPal is changing their privacy statement/terms of service starting November so that they can sell your information to merchants.

You CAN opt out, but you have to do it before they start:

Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

ETA: this is probably country specific, due to differing privacy laws.

You can try privacy>settings>recommendations

Check replies, people have found the same toggle under a different header.

if you're on mastodon and you're jealous, I wrote up a little bit about how I run my gotosocial server; maybe give it a try? https://technomancy.us/201
in which social media can be put in your own hands - Technomancy

@OffTheHook I’ll drop this here. https://mastodon.social/@verge/113159739860802705 Emanuel will rejoice.
