Thanks @moralcode.bsky.social for alerting me about my feeds not updating! If you were using my feeds and you noticed this too, it should now be resolved. I had to update the codebase.

I've moved my site over to Ghost (self-hosted, of course) and am introducing a new monthly newsletter for all my shenanigans. If you find my content useful, I've also created an option to support me using a paid membership tier.
New Year, New Site
Explore my transition to Ghost, the launch of my monthly newsletter, and the introduction of a paid membership tier with exclusive perks like a private Discord server and YouTube shoutouts.

If there's a testament to how great of an adaptation Wicked was to film, let it be my mother's reaction. She hates musicals, but is absolutely invested in Wicked after I forced her to watch it. She was bummed when I told her Part 2 doesn't come out until later this year.

Sincerest apologies for those using my feeds. My power was out for quite a while today and that meant my feeds went down.

This is your reminder to make sure you maintain backups! Remember, it's best practice to follow the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of data, backed up on 2 different storage types, with 1 copy offsite.
Here's the tools I prefer on each OS:
macOS - Time Machine
Windows - Veeam Agent
Linux - Pika Backup

I've been budgeting for gifts the entire year, and now that the time has come to purchase the gifts, I still don't know if it's enough. Guess that's the stress that comes with a large family. 😂

The Chrome and Android divesture is more significant than many realize. Google embedded spyware in the software to support its advertising business. If another company removes this (I hope they do), it could severely damage Google’s advertising revenue.
That's likely what the court wants.

Hey @jay.bsky.team, can those of us self-hosting a PDS get support for 2FA? Right now it only works if you have an account with the official data server, and being security conscious I'd like to have that working ASAP on my PDS.

Homelab tip: Document what you’re doing. Even simple notes will save you when you forget that one weird setting you tweaked at 2 a.m.
And remember—homelabs aren’t about perfection; they’re about learning, breaking, fixing, and growing! 🛠️💻 #cybersecurity #womeninstem #hacking #homelab
