I'm so envious. Our local vet prices are extortionate now after PE ruined it. We needed to have some relatively minor treatment for our dog last year. I did the math and it would have been cheaper to fly first class to a Midwest city, stay at a 4-star hotel, have the work done, and come home than to pay the local vet.
No doubt about it, PE is literally killing pets. Everyone wants to do right by their furry friends, but when you get a quote for $10K, you start to weigh options.

I realized today that I’ve accidentally de-Googled myself without deliberately meaning to. I’ve never used Gmail, but host my mail elsewhere with a domain I own. I use my phone’s own calendar, contacts, and photos apps. I pay to search the web with Kagi. Apple Maps has been great for years. Chrome is only for broken websites. My home NAS is way nicer than Google Drive.
I hadn’t actively tried to do this. I just don’t use any of their stuff anymore. I don’t need it and haven’t missed it.

In practice, rogue registrars were busted frequently creating fake certs on behalf of governments and other spies. Now browsers generally won't use root certs from CAs which don't publish their certificate logs. It's bad if your or my server gets pwned. It's horrible if gmail.com gets compromised and a malicious actor can gather credentials from millions of users at ones. That's the kind of thing the logs are meant to protect against. And that's not just hypothetical, sadly.

My bad. I meant the cert pinning thing that was a fad a little while back, and fortunately seems to have been abandoned. But yeah, that’s exactly the idea. If you see that Tiny Registrar has issued an invalid cert, there are ways to report it. That’s critical feedback that must exist.
I think the general takeaway is that we’ve collectively ripped off the “obscurity” band-aid. That’s just not a thing anymore. Before you put anything on the ‘net, make sure it’s secure.

Those are legit arguments. I understand them and the concerns behind them. Counterarguments:
1. The attacks will come in moments anyway. Consider things like Shodan that continually scan the entire IPv4 space.
2. It's not just google.com. yourownsite.com could be spoofed, and the main tools preventing that, HSTS and cert preloading, are fraught with peril. Need to update to a new cert? Don't screw up the HSTS or no visitors can come to your site for the next 13 years!

Nope. The $7K is their adjusted income after deductions. $3K is SET on their net 1099-K revenue from Schedule C. So it’s not really 43% on their whole income, but it *is* 43% of what the IRS classifies as their taxable income.

No, because the self-employment tax rate is on net earnings from Schedule C (i.e. after taking business deductions but before taking personal deductions). Just confirmed with my $1200/hr tax lawyer.

Motherfuck the gig economy. My kid just did their taxes. After deductions and all that, they had about $7000 in net income, then $3000 in taxes on it because Rover says "they're not employees LOL”. Because Rover (and Uber and Lyft and…) want to evade taxes, my kid is paying a freaking 43% tax rate on minimum wages.

Do you have a higher res version of those? I'd like to see what to look for.

Here's a Google ad impersonating the brew.sh website but linking to a malware site.

Wait a minute, wait a minute…
Why is #Meshtastic using MQTT for inter-mesh backhauls instead of, well, #Veilid?
Imagine that not only wasn't there a central server, but there wasn't truly *any* server, and that the more nodes came online, the better it all worked instead of the worse.
100% crypto backend, none of this "should I or shouldn't I use TLS?” stuff. Native JSON API. The radios are too lightweight to run Veilid themselves, but they could talk to a Veilid node as easily as MQTT.

Bay Area peeps: I just got a scam text claiming I owe “FastTrak” [sic] some money. I do not. Neither do you.

I’m reading something about why UML died. (If that doesn’t mean anything to you, count yourself blessed.)
But it strikes me that protobufs is kind of living the dream here. If you put UML in Git and generated protobufs definitions from that, you’d have a diagramming to code path that people didn’t entirely hate.
Huh, gotta ponder this first a while.

Jackpot! My health insurance company selected me as a survey panel member. Oh boy, do I have things to say.
Example: ”My doctor says I need a certain medication. Some flunky on your end, or a computer who knows nothing about me, says that I don't. How you're not being sued into oblivion for practicing medicine without a license is beyond me.”

My kid wants to install Linux on their gaming PC.
(Gimme a sec here. I'm not crying, you're crying. Anyway.)
What distro would you recommend for someone who wants to run recent AAA games on good hardware?

Scientists baffled as orcas seem to revive an 80s trend: dead salmon hats https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/02/orcas-wearing-salmon-hats?CMP=oth_b-aplnews_d-1
Scientists: We have many hypotheses why they may be doing this.
Orca: It’s cute!
Scientists: It may be so that they can snack on it later.
Orca: It’s cute!
Scientists: We may never solve this inexplicable behavior.

I’ve been up on the roof installing the mount for a new Meshtastic antenna.
I don’t actually need an encrypted mesh messaging system that doesn’t require Internet access, but it’s reassuring to have one available anyway.

If you're ever tempted to complain about JSON APIs, consider what they replaced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP
It changed everything. Oh, I can write “curl https://weather.example.com/zip/12345” and get a result instead of writing an XML monstrosity spelling out “please, sir, I want some more." Granted, almost no one uses formal JSON schemas so you invariably end up doing some parsing and interpretation on your own. After being absolutely required to have strict schemas for everything, trust me, this is nicer.

Far-Right Pastor Wants False Sexual Assault Reports to Be Punishable by Death - The Daily Beast https://www.thedailybeast.com/far-right-pastor-joel-webbon-wants-false-sexual-assault-reports-to-be-punishable-by-death/

My peeps, we are hiring. I've been at Coda for nearly a year and genuinely look forward to work every day. I get to work on the cool projects I want, with smart, kind people who enjoy what they're doing. And now we can use more help in our security department.
We're looking for a 100% remote (in the US, due to compliance obligations) security engineer. Downside: you have to see me all the time. More info at https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/coda/jobs/7657477002
If this looks interesting, please hit me up for the details.

Recruiter spam from a company that makes "secure" web pages by, basically, Chrome over Citrix as a Service, as far as I can tell. Nah, I'm good.
