The TurtleMade my periodic "update" to Facebook. Every so often I move from one ghost town to another and add a new bullshit job or something to poison the well.
I now "live" in Garlock, California. That's my house on the left.

Though I joined Mastodon several years ago, I follow #bloomScrolling, #photography and #northcarolina for now. I’m sure there will be more to come.

BrianKrebsBloomberg did some terrific and deep reporting last week on how private equity debt likely contributed to a series of major compromises at Ivanti at the hands of China-backed hacker groups. They touch on several other examples, but it seems like the list could be quite long at this point.
The guys at the Risky Business podcast have been talking forever about major breaches and code compromises that occurred after various security companies were acquired by private equity firms and loaded with debt. They've argued (correctly, in my book) that when you see this happening with a vendor you use, it's a good signal to find a suitable alternative to whatever that platform does for you.
DEVONtechnologiesTip of the day: We are all familiar with links to our favorite websites. But URLs, uniform resource locators, are not only used for web pages in a web browser. There are other specialized links that can be used with other applications, for example #DEVONthink. #devonthinktogo #pkm #productivity #thirdparties #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20251028-understanding-url-schemes

🇪🇺How far back in time can you understand English?
It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.
"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

nixCraft 🐧This chart shows the total number of Stack Overflow questions asked each month. As you can see, AI summaries in Google and AI coding tools have nearly killed the site. It is only a matter of time before the site shuts down completely. The golden age of independent news, blogs, forums, and specialized sites like Stack Overflow is over. Whether this is good or bad, only time will tell. Personally, I think we are now restricting all internet traffic to just a few Gen AI apps https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#graph
