Always hoped I'd get a chance to go to a game with @rit but it was not to be. Here for the Avs and Flyers today in his memory.

Updated social stuff:

My Twitter account is abandoned and soon to be empty save for my final tweet from October 2023.

I'm here infrequently at best. Find me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/teknomantik.old-home.net

Today in cursed regular expressions:
^[0-9a-f]{8}-([0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}$
@rit I've got feet in both the Kindle and Kobo ecosystems now, so an e-ink device that can handle both easily is a win. How's the lighting on it?
Don't mind me forgetting that there are CIM queries for this that don't require mangling console output.

Cursed one-liner:

(Get-Date).AddMinutes(((cscript //nologo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv
| Where-Object { $_ -like 'Timebased*' }) -replace '^T.*: ([0-9]+).*','$1'))

@steter But I agree that this is a silly thing for pols to do; much as technical solutions to policy problems are often ineffective and misguided, so too are policy solutions to technical problems.

@steter I'm not even a dev, just a sysadmin, and I've lost count of the times I've seen unsanitized string inputs/non-parameterized queries that could easily be abused for SQL injection. The giveaway is usually if you see something that breaks in weird ways when there's an apostrophe in the input.

That said, there are ideally multiple protections in place. For instance, service accounts used for collecting untrusted inputs should have the bare minimum privilege necessary to do their job.

@jcriecke @RyeBread Given the capacity challenges that already exist with the train, the expense of tunneling, and the length and height that would be required of bridges (787s and A380s can't pass between the terminal and concourse A because of tail height, and the walk to the center of concourse C would be nearly a mile), some rethinking is definitely in order. I think satellite terminals are more likely than attached concourses, though, unless there's a lot of road work involved.
@scalzi As a fan of both chocolate and salted licorice, yes.
