I would maybe watch a live-stream asciinema broadcast of meejah's typing and random talking

Poll ends at .

Holy crap!
I finally made a thing work .. mostly.

- set up icecast2 server
- stream to it (hard)
- pair this audio with @asciinema live-stream

The icecast2 stuff was "fairly" straightforward, until I entered the TLS swamp (required so that https pages from asciinema don't freak out your browser).

Eventually cobbled together a series of pipes that works:
ffmpeg | oggenc | shout

secret-sauce on "shout" is "--tlsmode rfc2818". Probably needs a blog-post 🤔
Next-stop live-stream coding??

I lost. As usual.

In honour of the day you all did those despicable things to Jesus I am posting my favourite @warandpeas comic

"A clear majority of Albertans don’t want to live in a Christian ethnostate powered by hydrocarbons and hatred, and conceived by people we wouldn’t trust to sit the right way on a toilet. My greatest hope is that the separatists will feel as embarrassed and angered by their inevitable failure as I feel by their movement’s existence."

Among the Separatists | The Tyee

I wanted to learn the true target of their angry dreams. What I heard made me tremble for the Alberta I love.

hey it's that time again.

do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening?

in multiple locations?

have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work?

*even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*

"... so that [cops] can search the haystack for the needle so to speak, if the need arises."

Or, historically speaking, find a needle-shaped piece of hay after-the-fact and follow a "gut feeling" that it's actually a needle.

With what I know about Stingrays/IMSI catchers, cops need the data the feds propose retaining in order to use them for more than "was this person at this location." It will probably end up involving Palantir contracts.

Fuck that.

Liberal bill would force companies to simplify data access for police. No one knows the cost | CBC News

The Liberal government's second attempt at giving police and spies easier access to Canadians' information includes what's anticipated to be costly demands on a range of private businesses to to change how they manage their data.

@meejah Yeah totally. There’s also like a multitude of motivations, right? Sometimes I build a table by hand because woodworking is enjoyable and the craft is important. Sometimes I just need a place to put my drink and IKEA is fine. Sometimes I write code because coding is enjoyable and craftsmanship matters. Sometimes I just need a damn website so people know how to get to the wedding.
