1password 8 is out and it only works with their cloud service. That seems par for the others out there (bitwarden, lastpass). Is keepass on a mac + ios a viable alternative? Any other ideas?
Who needs a stupid blue checkmark when you can spin up official.resource.org.

Our new instance got installed, and I am now officially dangerous. I have admin access, can log in as mastodon, have shiny new tootctl command. Restricted to my ip address for now, but hope to make it public after I've kicked the tires.

This instance will be small, will be the official authenticated voice of Public Resource.

Got a big paper handed off, turning my attention back to the garden. Winter crop of oranges is almost ready, bought some lavender, thyme, strawberries, and hyacinth to plant. Also another bag of my favorite soil enricher cocktail, with mushrooms, chicken manure, other compost components.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion.

1st incident lasted 25s during the sportscast on the 9PM news on WGN-TV; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who.

We've closed up our Twitter account. A platform whose owner uses it to bait violent anti-democratic conspiracy theories and engage in overt anti-semitism is not a place compatible with our mission to inform, create accountability, and improve democracy.

This just went out on twitter:

Goodbye everybody. I'm deactivating my account, moving to the new world. My new home is at @carlmalamud

Yesterday was my 14th anniversary and I told the bird I can't take it anymore, we need to get a divorce. I will miss you all.

Remember, you own the Internet.
