It's not for fun, or any sense of community.
It's just trying to dull the pain.

I have friends everywhere.

Lmao @Hacker0x01 told me the backdoor was known "through internal security assessments" and they're "closing this report as out of scope". But now are pissed I disclosed it. Nobody should use this joke of a platform who put the interests of companies over that of users.

Hey #devops #git peeps, mind if I pick your brains for a bit?

I maintain a couple of internal GitHub repos at $Employer for various windows app install scripts (PowerShell), that are used to deploy our EDR, DLP, and other such tools. These all grew out of a script template (or if I’m feeling fancy, framework) that was meant to abstract away some differences in behavior between a couple legacy MDM platforms and our planned future platform.

Changes to these scripts fall into three gross categories:

  • Bumps of the app version, generally without any other changes.
  • Changes to the template logic.
  • Changes to the app-specific logic.
  • I’m gonna skip version changes, because they’re essentially a subclass of app-specific logic.

    My workflow in developing the template generally goes something like this:

  • Work on an app-specific logic change.
  • Determine this is actually something more broadly usable than just that one app, and move the change out of the app-specific logic and into the template logic.
  • Increment the template version in the front-matter of the app-specific script.
  • Diff the app-specific script against the template, and merge in the changes in the template logic, ignoring the app specific logic (actual logic in the app script, placeholder in the template)
  • Diff the updated template script against each of the other app-specific scripts, and merge in the template logic, ignoring the app-specific logic (placeholder logic in the template, actual logic in the app script).
  • What I’m interested in is automating step 5, so that on push of an updated template version, all my scripts update too. Automating step 4, so that on push of an app-specific script containing updated template logic, the template repo gets updated would be pretty cool too.

    What I don’t understand is how I could programmatically merge in only the desired changes (template logic) , and not undesirable ones (app-specific logic)?

    I didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.

    Now the
    former Senior VP of Marketing of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.

    And the
    former VP of Ads in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.

    Let me repeat this:

    The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "
    advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!

    If you've never seen them, let me introduce you to NEMA 5-15 (US electrical outlet standard) pigtails. They're typically about 6-12" and are frequently used to move power bricks away from power strips, so they don't block other receptacles. Awesome little thingies.
    Does anyone have a list of ai bots on github for blocking, like everyone's doing with claude now?

    If local papers want to survive, they need to stop printing 2 day old wall street journal articles & stuff people have already seen online to uber-focus on *local* things.

    I want esp to see *everything* going on in the city/county each week - all the sports (from schools, amateur leagues, college, and pro), plays, recitals & concerts, movies, workshops & classes, nonprofit events...all of it, so we can actually see what we can do.
