One of the best things of working with LLMs is that natural language gets parsed so easily, so I can say since the weekend or since three days ago without having to worry about what date/time/TZ format one CLI tool uses over the other.

Be very mindful about the content you consume online.

You might think you are above its negative influence on your mood and thoughts, but you aren't. Nobody is.

The content you consume influences the way you think over time. Even if you are on a platform to fight the opposition, what the algorithm is feeding you there will have an influence on yourself over time.

Be careful what you feed to your brain.

This made me have a connection in my mind:
Hypothesis: some people never actually hear the lyrics. song is like just an instrument. It feels like this explains at least some of the people who listened to Tupac and RATM and still grew to be bigots.

As an aside, we use impossibly bright, impossibly blue light to inscribe tiny runes on sand, producing constructs that obey our commands (well, sometimes...) and communicate with us through literal liquid crystals.

This is not a fantasy setting. I'm just describing the real world

(well I'm leaving out 1000s of in-between steps, but still)

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@SecurityWriter/116305873092655616

if people stopped giving all these corporations their age or id/kyc info and just canceled their subscriptions or accounts for 4 months we'd see how fast they stop asking once those next quarter results show up.

governments would wake up pretty fast with less VAT, GST, and Tax revenue, too. you give them an inch and they will take a mile. cut that inch and cut their source of revenue, and they will all fall in line.

that is the only solution to all these stupid laws.

@decay they want the benefits of appearing to have done work without the actual doing of the work, and i think there's more than a few words to describe that kind of person

In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.

Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.

RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.

Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.

It was always DNS.

As someone who has been actively recommending and sharing songs for others to try since 2005 (in my blog, Milliblog) week after week, I implore you to shun algorithmic suggestions and go in search of what you *may* like more often, on your own.
