Please note that Palantir would rather that you didn't share this story, it makes them look even more stupid if you do...

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir

Anyone have contact with Microsoft network ops? They've blackholed my SMTP (204.11.50.134) (which is used by me and half a dozen other people, none of whom send spam), and my admin's on vacation and I don't wanna screw up his time off. This is obviously a false positive though.

I bought a copy of "The Book of PF" from @pitrh

It's the best and most comprehensive resource about the marvelous PF firewall that I've ever seen, and I've been using PF since the early days.

Amazing work!

It's available here on No Starch Press: https://nostarch.com/book-of-pf-4th-edition

I also recently wrote a practical guide on PF (https://blog.hofstede.it/pf-firewall-on-freebsd-a-practical-guide/) for anyone who wants to get started :-)

i kinda believe that? but also i kinda am enjoying the social media section 230 (does that apply to ai generated stuff?) speedrunning reviewing user content side of things.

"It's too hard", "i don't have a team" is funny from the guy who /is using AI to build a social network site for AI agents/. Like sir, if AI is so good why not use AI to verify content?

Oh wait, that makes the cost uncapped? It becomes too expensive?

SURPRISE!
