We imported the data from Black Basta Ransomware group leak into AIL and there are many interesting aspects.
The federation network of Matrix servers (see the screenshot) used to communicated among the affiliates/group(s).
Activities in the chat room, especially the daily activity view in AIL. Guessing the location and timezone of groups or affiliates is an endless source of information.
They rely on many open-source and SaaS tools, including Googl…

🎉 PDF2flip intègre maintenant la fonction de zoom et de déplacement dans la page !
Je croyais que c'était réservé Š la version non-libre et complète de la librairie que j'utilise, mais en fait le Digiflip d'Emmanuel Zimmert @… m'a permis de comprendre que le zoom et le déplacement était intégré, mais simplement caché Š cause…… d'un bête truc CSS qui masquait les boutons de commande.
Bref, c'est fonctionnel maintenant !

Steven Levitsky: "Nous assistons actuellement Š l'effondrement de notre démocratie. Sous Donald Trump, les États-Unis glissent vers une forme d'autoritarisme. Cela ne sera sans doute pas irréversible. Mais le fait est lŠ : en ce moment même, les États-Unis cessent d'être une démocratie."

Ok, so... late to the "party", but I'm reading that also @… is jumping into the #LLMs bandwagon.
It's just so... sad, stupid, and infuriating. Really, why?

"My view of professional software engineering is one where I get to find out about people’s work and the problems they have, and try to solve them, and discussions are key to this project. If what I wanted to do were to have some uninterrupted time to discover how to shovel a Haskell into a BEAM on Kubernetes so I could scalable actor lambda, then yes, I could understand why understanding what the deliverables are would get in the way."

I looked into buying a solar charged battery bank. This product category is completely dominated by no-name 3rd party sellers. 🚩
Charge time is key. No listing had even a rough estimate for solar charge time. 🚩
An example unit claims max solar power 1.13 w, with enough battery power to charge an iPhone 14 Pro twice. Working from that, you'd need ~25 hours of full sun to fully charge. I'd roughly estimate that means at least 3 days in summer. Not quite worthless, but close…

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

True story time, from about 8 years ago.
After work, I joined few co-workers for happy hour. I had 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks, then cut myself off and drank soda rest of the night, for many reasons including I wanted to be 100% sober to drive home.
One guy was rude, insisted I keep drinking, said I was ruining the fun.
Kids, be your own person. Be stubborn. Don't let someone pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. No means no.

Hello there.
I, or maybe we, intend this to serve both as a diary and a reference.
We are a jack of many trades. As such, it is hard to squeeze into 1.5k symbols, and it is by no means comprehensive. Still, sometimes labels are helpful.
Here is about IT, interconnections between technologies (Fullstack, Data Science... sometimes even AI and ethics of it). Politics, because our life is inevitably tied to it (especially with
