FYI I'm moving over to infosec.exchange, let's see how this goes.

I will likely have a considerable amount of screen time in an upcoming Hulu documentary series on the Ashley Madison breach, a story I broke back in 2015.

It has been one of the most unusual film making projects I've ever been involved in, mainly because we collaborated on research to find some truly fascinating and AFAICT never before disclosed facts about the breach (like who may have been responsible).

Can't really go into more detail on the project because I don't want to steal their thunder. But I expect to have at least one and probably a series of stories around the Hulu release that delve deeply into our collective research.

I don't know what they will produce, but the untold part of this story is fairly compelling.

Distro people!

We're starting a mailing list for coordinating on cross-distro problems, "fire of the week", anything which needs - or would benefit from - distributions speaking to each other.

Example topics include:

  • "new $X is totally broken oh god",
  • coordination of stuff like time_t migration
  • discussing how to handle something new (the github unstable-tarballs incident today would be a good example)

Please consider subscribing: [email protected] (link on lists.linux.dev / https://subspace.kernel.org/lists.linux.dev.html)

Do join too if you're an upstream and interested in these topics, especially if you're writing core software. We want a diverse set of opinions and perspectives!

Pass it on to other distribution folks / packagers too. Cheers!

Do you ( @joshbressers ) get a different result from ChatGPT?
Ok so for 3d CAD -> Slicer -> Printer I'm thinking FreeCAD -> OctoPrint. Feedback and alternative suggestions welcome. I mostly want to print brackets to hold things like tools and parts for a Lego sorting machine.
I just realized. I'm old enough to say things like "This place used to have ashtrays. On the INSIDE"
ChatGPT is really clever in some ways, e.g. it figured out mailchannels API, but also dumb in that the mailchannels API doesn't need an API key for sending. TL;DR: if you know how to ask the question correctly, and have some idea of what the output should be, ChatGPT will be helpful. And as time goes on I can only assume it will get better.
More interestingly if I ask about reddit it uses a more compact/clever regex, and provides usage information for the function it creates:
Also is it intentionally clever that it doesn't check for 0 length usernames, and then checks that it has a character, or did it just get lucky?
I gotta say, I've seen worse code come out of humans. I especially appreciate the comments. TL;DR: ChatGPT won't put programmers out of business anytime soon, but it should raise the bar a bit.
