Teaching was my first love. Packets were my second.

I make classes to teach people how to defend themselves against hackers. In my spare time, I teach college students to compete in cybersecurity competitions, or try to take back my home automation from the cloud.

@_thegeoff yeah that's what I'd do. bonus points: every time a user sends a "I'm looking at line X" ping, we send that out to all other users on the page, and it makes their browser scroll to the same point

@foone Nice 😂 👍
My reflex is to do it with no logins/cookies/session control, just a website that only maintains one connection at a time and preserves state. Is a bit of jS to ping back with "user still reading line x" cheating?

I can't believe we're still having to say this in 2025, but would people *please* scroll back to the top of a website when they're finished reading, so it's ready for the next person. We've even got buttons at the bottom to do it all in one go, it's not 1994 any more.

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.
