I've had this account for a long time, and been online and using this nick even longer (since 1992.). I'm also EdLin on Discord, and was joshua613 on Twitter (I'm autopurging old messages on it).
@tehabe I thought you were talking about beef patties at first then I remembered where you are. ;)

LastPass had a breach.

You should just go ahead and use Bitwarden already.

I just published an article on using the #PowerShell module #BluebirdPS to find Mastodon account references for PowerShell community members on the birdsite.

I give a shout-out to the work @cl has done on 3 #GitHub actions: Exodus, Influx, and Fossilize.

The great @blaine Cook (legendary inventor and former lead developer at Twitter) has written a superb first draft of a "Fediverse Charter." Naturally, he made it open source for anyone to build on. Because that's just the culture here in the Fediverse. Get used to it :)

Here's the (relatively) new Moynihan Train Hall, an annex to NYC's Penn Station built in to the post office building across 8th Avenue. Its design honors, but does not replicate, the original Penn Station train hall that was demolished to construct Madison Square Garden in 1963.

Not enough public seating, but still a grander public space than the rat warrens travelers had to endure for almost 60 years.
