24. The Kirlian Witness (1978). A woman whose sister is murdered tries to find the killer by learning to commune with her sister's house plants. The sister was also communing with the plants, btw. The woman is striving to match the depth of her sister's understanding. Daffy but without the faintest whiff of irony.

Attachments:

• Poster for the Kirlian Witness. A potted plant tipped over on a wood floor toward a bloodied hand. The rest of the arm extends past the border of poster. On the opposite side of a poster, a man's leg is stepping out of the frame, away from the plant and arm. The wallpaper is patterned to look like a starry sky.

Can't make my mind up whether I really should get the Prusa XL.

Always wanted a tool-changer, but now I can't even decide on how many hot-ends I really want or need in such a machine.

Reviews on YouTube are sparse. Anyone on the 3D printing Fediverse who already got an XL?

The Bambu Lab printers becoming so affordable really doesn't help either, even though these machines are hard to compare. (AMS versus tool-changer)

"The reality is, opposition to bullying is not a rare substance that can be depleted, and treating it as if it were one is a strategy that seems designed—not to ready us to oppose the “real” hate when at last the worst possible thing imaginable arrives, but to actively assist the worst possible thing to arrive unopposed.

Here it comes, wearing a smile, respectable and normal, perfectly laundered.

It’s only joking, if you ask.

It’s deadly serious, if you don’t."

A purple Skeletor, supervillain of the Masters of the Universe franchise, printed in dichromatic (pink & purple) PLA filament.

Used Lightning infill & organic supports, finished after roughly 26 hours of non-stop printing. Removing the support material was pretty painless.

I love that the core vulnerability behind CVE-2023-4966 ("sensitive information disclosure" in Citrix NetScaler) was a misunderstanding of how a C API works.

It seems obvious that snprintf() would return the number of bytes written to a string, but nope! It returns the number of bytes it wants to write to the string.

Another one to look out for in BSidesSFCTF next year :)

It is a Handmaiden’s Tale level nightmare now in Texas, where Lubbock has become the largest county where it is illegal to travel through the county to receive abortion services in another state. This is what predictably happens when you throw a fundamental question of human rights “back to the states” to decide. We need Roe v. Wade and its legal protections codified.

Do you live in or near #Manchester, UK, and want to adopt a kitten? 4 of the kittens at my in-laws' place are still looking for a home. They're a few months older than on this picture. PM me for contact details if interested or want to know more.

Attachments:

• 5 kittens in a box. One of them is fully black, two of them are mostly orange with some white, one is mostly white with some orange, and one is a calico.
• A close-up of the black kitten. He looks fierce.
• Another picture of the kittens. You can see the two mostly orange ones, and the one who's mostly white. They are fluffy and they have pink noses.

I remember how outrageous it was when Windows XP required 64 *megabytes* of RAM, because the whole Windows 95 disk installation fit in 55MB. Win95 was bloated too, because it merely caught up with features of AmigaOS from a decade earlier, which fit entirely on a 0.7MB floppy. And that AmigaOS had some fancy icon files larger than entire programs for GeOS. And micros had it easy. Bletchley Colossus did more important work than any of your computers ever will, and it didn't even have RAM!

23. Your Sweet Body To Kill (1970). Moderately stylish, so I guess I got what I wanted. It's pretty tame for a giallo from 1970, though. Bava was serving up stronger stuff half a decade earlier. The poster is way cooler

Attachments:

• Poster for Your Sweet Body To Kill. A woman in a nightie that looks like it's about to slip off throws her head back in anguish. Behind her, on a red background, a large pair of hands curls its fingers at her, posed like a spider about to pounce.
