Suddenly irrationally mad that IPv4 addresses cap out at 255 so I can't use "obvious" dummy/example IPs of, say, 100.100.69.420

Going over a third-party security audit of an OSS repo, and realizing I'm not entirely sure what the right spot is to store the PDF, should I want to make it public after anything is remediated.

Sticking it in the git repo (even just in the docs folder which generates the static website) seems […]

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never:

- comment on how much someone is eating
- comment on how little someone is eating
- comment on someone eating

Every web nerd I know seems to be looking for a new domain registrar because whatever everyone's used for 10-20 years was likely bought up by private equity firms so they tripled their prices while slashing features.

Great work in #thecrux by @daedalus as usual today.
Sadly so much of the outcomes for businesses, govts etc were entirely predictable. Often by @daedalus himself
