Just got laid off.

The last 8 years were spent mostly in Python/Django, but I also have years of Java and PHP, and can pick up any language/framework quickly.

25 years professional experience in total. Any leads would be appreciated. #getfedihired #fedihired

I'm located in the USA, prefer remote work, but local to Austin TX is good too.

Something super shady is up there

Behind the complaints: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today

Some time ago, we were contacted by a group fighting against online CSAM, demanding that AdGuard DNS blocks the Archive.today website. This was only the beginning of a much larger story…

infosec has a lot to learn about understanding failure conditions and accurate, understandable error messages from roadies

TIL about Firefox's about:translations, which lets you translate random pieces of text locally, using Firefox's translation support. I think I'm going to be changing some of my standing aliases, because to heck with Google Translate if I have a decent alternative.

In my clipboard I had some Korean I wanted to quickly translate to get the gist of it. Alt-tabbed to Firefox and started typing translate.goo… as I thought, "but jeez, Firefox can do this locally. how do I access that outside of a web page?" Ah ha! New tab, type in "data:text/html,<textarea>" instead and hit enter. Paste the Korean into the text box, Ctrl-A, right click, click Translate selection… and presto! Now I'm wondering how to invoke Firefox translations from the command line...
