For those with accounts on Mastodon instances (or instances running #Mastodon forks), this might be a good time to enable this in Preferences → Notifications:

☑️ Block direct messages from people you don't follow

Spammers seem to be (ab)using the DM functionality. Making it impossible to reach you if you do not follow a person makes that much less effective. And in general is just a good idea, IMVHO.

Tried to figure out how to do the same on #Calckey, but could not find the setting. Hjalp?

Fifteen years ago tomorrow I published the first post on the fediverse.

https://web.archive.org/web/20080618164355/http://identi.ca/notice/1

It's still visible on Identi.ca today, although the URL format changed a few years ago, and the redirect plugin stopped working a few years after that. 🫤

https://identi.ca/evan/note/Y0QwGyc1QYilqqawkDrQlg

Thanks to everyone who made identi.ca a great place to be, and thanks to everyone who's expanded the fediverse since then.

Someday soon-ish I'd like to have identi.ca working with ActivityPub. When I get the time for it!

As a companion to our "Tales from the Bringup Lab" series. On Monday @bcantrill and I started our "Building Together" series by featuring Jonathan and Jignesh from Samtec.

They've been incredible partners, in particular with our rack switch and cabled backplane.

A vendor sells you something; a partner lives your joint success. Samtec is the kind of partner Oxide strives to be for our customers.

Hey #Lazyverse! Looking for a new #TV set, as my old one is starting to die. Is there anything not aggressively "smart" on the market? As I'm using Roku anyway, I'd ideally like to never see the TV's own UI and never let it update itself or even connect to the Internet. Does such a thing still exist?

Picture-wise, I'm not very choosy. I'm pretty sure it's going to be better than my 15 years old plasma panel.

Irrationally bothered by packages of chicken meat that contain an odd number of wings (or drumsticks, or whatever).

I know it makes no sense but I always imagine a chicken somewhere with just one wing missing.

Today I learned you can build your own custom form elements which will validate/serialize upon submission, just like native HTML inputs [1]

Support for the ElementInternals interface landed in Chrome & Firefox years ago, and finally in the latest Safari (16.4) but there's a polyfill if you need backwards compatibility [2]

President Biden cites facts that white supremacy terror is America’s greatest domestic security threat—and MAGAs lose their minds.

Here’s the thing.

I’m Muslim. I don’t feel attacked when people condemn the Taliban because Taliban do not represent Muslims and I proudly take the lead in condemning Taliban terrorism.

If you’re MAGA white and feel personally attacked when Biden condemns white supremacy terror—you are absolutely telling on yourself.

the Russians are already being forced to keep air assets well back of the ‘main line of resistance’, and this development may force both logistics & maintenance and command & control centers to move well back too. the problem with land-based assets is that, as the range of Ukrainian strike assets gets longer, the Russians begin running out of ‘safe’ land for those assets to be based on in Crimea.

that bridge is doomed, and I’d guess soon.
