The infosec world is full of activity. It hasn't slowed down in the least. The mainstream news orgs cover it less but you can check out sites like https://thehackernews.com or https://cybersecuritynews.com and see that the blackhats are always up to something.

Just enjoying the vanlife. Me and my dog rocking up to scenic vistas and staying a while 'til it's time to move on to the next. Note: The pic isn't my rig, my dog's a Rottie and my van's a shuttle bus.

Some s/aww or s/cats material. s/Random is soaking up all the posts. In other news now I want a Cheetah.

Not a whole lot to say. This was a really boilerplate episode. The ship having a room full of dangerous memberberries doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Otherwise all the characters are pretty on-schtick, thankfully this doesn't include Mariner being stupid and breaking protocol for once. The ringworld concept is woefully unexplored and underutilized. So I'd call this one a filler episode at best.

As someone who's not on a new car waiting list, who's vehicle isn't manufacturer serviced, and who doesn't own auto stock I approve this.

The fun part is if I do anything too strenuous the clot could move again and I'll definitely die since I'm not in a hospital with help minutes away.

Thanks, yeah the progress is coming, feeling stronger, just lost the last visible signs of my IV bruise that had turned my whole inner forearm purple/black. Baby steps.

That Youtuber thing feels like it's their new flex. "I've conquered youtubing so much it bores me, I'm retiring now."

Yeah the rumor mill has been buzzing for a while that secretive hedge funds like Medallion have cracked some quantum algo that has gotten them all the years of crazy market beating returns they've had. The only hire high level mathematicians and physicists instead of stock or finance experts, makes sense.

Less weak, more mobile. Heart still doing weird shit. Still get short of breath out of nowhere sometimes though I have less anxiety that I'm going to suddenly lose the ability to breath... just sometimes I get the slightest twinge of that feeling I had right before I almost died at the hospital and then I get anxious again. In general just trying to settle into whatever this new normal is. It'll be a month or two before I can get tested again to see if the embolism has decreased enough that I can think about like mountain biking or lifting for exercise. So all and all still sucks just not as bad. Thanks for asking.

Despite my rant above I'd say it's worth a watch. Like I said there is a lot of good stuff in there and maybe the things that bothered me won't be a big deal to you. I don't regret watching it, just a number of creative and casting choices (also the VFX can be bad sometimes and the obvious LED wall can be obvious sometimes). But yeah give it a watch.

Now that I've had some hours to mull it over I can at least appreciate that it didn't make me hate it and its creators like say Rings of Power or Halo season one. But yeah I was expecting better. The original sets an insanely high bar to reach.

You on an Apple device with a trackpad? If so I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252829126?sortBy=best

Me I'd "inspect element" and poke around to see if there's some html or script issue causing a layout error. From your screenshot it looks like there's something inside the rounded corner div containing the video/player that's the problem (if it's a layout issue). That's because the right side has rounded corners while left doesn't (which means the video/player isn't filling it's container div for some reason). Good luck sorting it out.

they tried to rewrite an S tier writing with B tier writers

That's maybe the best description of the whole thing I've heard yet. Do you think it'll get better in season 2? Me I'm thinking it'll take so long to film that the kid playing Aang will almost look like a grown ass man by the time it comes out. Quality wise unless they magically get the original creators back on board it'll be more of the same.

Looks like the Netlify CEO jumped in and wiped that bill clean, saying it was a mistaken charge for a traffic spike. That has happened to me before when running sites that get a big random surge of visitors. If you're lucky the site just goes down for a little bit. I say lucky because the other option is you get hit with a gigantic bill for traffic over your limit and most times the CEO does not come to your rescue and it's either pay-up or find a new web host. Note this is usually with cheapo non-cloud-base hosts. There are better options that mostly avoid this nightmare but they tend to be on the spendy side.
