A little openscad experiment

@csepp looks really interesting! Wish it had an atom feed

Yay the simplex patent expired

@stevelord you probably know this already, but, your blog rss (sub stack?) has gone weird (I think, or my reader has gone wrong). Shows “this is Jen’s sub stack”

Just noticed that Firefox on iOS now has sponsored links interleaved in my bookmarks on the front page. That’s only mildly annoying. It *seems* that I had to wait for some network round trips to resolve their icons, titles etc *before the uri I typed would begin to load*. If that’s right, imho it’s egregious.

@jwildeboer @kfury same. I have used a screen protector consistently for the last ten years which might have helped. Although the screens prior to that were, in theory, more fragile?

Twice (so far) this evening Firefox on One computer has reset my theme preference. This (and the frequency of such things happening) fills me with sadness.

This morning's sound track is this pleasant drone album

@stevelord as much as I love those tools (well not so much tex) they are damned heavyweight on disk!

@csepp @kevin can’t it be both?

I’m thinking about a creative writing project. Can anyone recommmend me a suitable Fediverse/mastodon host to write “in character”?

@fabinou hello Fab 🌊 welcome to the Fediverse

@fanf it doesn’t, no: so the risk surface (for launching as uid 0) is just whatever it does before spawning the (non-uid 0) container subprocess (plus anything that lingers. I see it might spawn a sidecar “conmon” process for example).

Rootless (podman) containers. What are the security advantages versus launched-as-root-but-container-runs-as-nonroot ? Is it just the reduced surface area of the podman binary doing the launching, before dropping privileges? Is there something more?

Long overdue spring cleaning of my personal mail setup
