For anyone else wondering, it's not you, #BlueSky is down at the moment.

I've just had a power supply for an HDMI matrix die on me by surprise - but it was incredibly warm, I assume a sign of the failure. While not a definite sign of impending failure, is there any way to monitor temps to be forewarned about this in future - I assume stick on thermometers would be in the wrong range of temperatures?

I had not noticed that there was a new edition of "The Linux Command Line" until today.

If you use Linux, and perhaps especially if you are new to Linux, and want to get to grips with command line / terminal usage, it is well worth dipping into this free (CC BY-NC-ND) tome:

a few weeks ago i spun up a scaleway in europe to use as an imgur proxy... it's still blocked from actually hitting imgur directly, but at least i can see forum embeds now.
it is of course also banned from reddit.
kinda missing the days of the internet not being like this.
adversa.ai/claude-code-... I *gather* the TL;DR is "Claude only checks your restrictions against the first fifty commands it will run on your machine, after that it just trusts them" πŸ™ƒ

Critical Claude Code vulnerability: Deny rules silently bypassed because security checks cost too many tokens

Adversa AI Red Team found Claude Code's deny rules silently stop working after 50 subcommands. The fix exists in Anthropic's codebase. They never shipped it
