I wonder if one day someone can explain to me why Google thinks the fact that I am in a foreign country means I immediately am fluent in that country's language, and prefer it over English or my native language. I mean, there's an Accept-Language header, I think it's older than Google.
@zwol This is not a toot. This is a high-quality blog post that should be in an easily referenceable URL that is more permanent than a microblogging server history. (As others have said, this should probably be an RFC or at least something with a name giving it a probability of catching on like SemVer did... SemMagic?)
Turbo Pascal turns 41. who here remembers this one?

#PPOD: NASA's Curiosity rover ran over a rock and found crystals inside! They're pure sulfur. Elemental sulfur is something we’ve never seen before on Mars. We don't know much about these yellow crystals yet, but the team is already at work to figure it out! Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Their products are flawed not just because they're badly implemented - which they are - but because they are based on a stupid idea. The idea that you improve your IT security by adding more complexity. Doing the opposite is the right approach. But you can't sell that as a product. (You can still sell it, but it's not something you just plug into your network and get security magically.)
I told you I wasn't done with BIMI yet. Part of the BIMI spec is that the SVG logos have to be compliant with a Relax NG schema that defines a secure subset of SVG. This does not look like a bad idea. You can easily validate SVGs against this profile with existing XML tools. Yet... if you don't do it, it doesn't help. I noticed that many BIMI certificates contained non-compliant SVGs https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/bimi/xzYRH72V2HE9xeUfXK_zUgYSI7k/ 🧵

Get there early, pack some water and extra snacks, and don't forget to wear your sturdiest rain boots, because when the time comes for pissing on Andrew Wakefield's grave, there's going to be a very long line.

In the past month I’ve harvested about 7 pounds of produce out of my office hydroponic setup. Tomatoes, small peppers, and greens. Not bad!
The tomatoes should give me a couple more pounds in the next month, and hopefully I can stagger planting new greens so they keep producing.
I sometimes turn them off in the summer because the lights produce heat.
