Writing a "Cyber Security" book for my local seniors community and I am documenting Facebook privacy settings.
Can I just say how much I really, really, dislike Facebook?
It's just designed to screw the user.
PS -- if you want to share the free online draft (I think it's already useful) goto

G'Day from Sunny Australia,
I'm in the process of writing some simple articles on Internet Security for a local community newsletter.
They don't publish online, so I am also pushing the CC-licensed content to my blog in case other people want to use it.
1st post is below, with more to follow over the next few weeks

Pleased to say that I've had a tutorial proposal accepted on how to integrate the Vale Text Linter into your Docs-As-Code technical writing project.
"Upgrade your Docs-As-Code Foo with the Vale Text Linter"
Hope to see you in Adelaide in January for a beer or two... 🍺

if anyone has been to my various Docs As Code talks, I've moved the repo to https://gitlab.com/alecthegeek/docs-as-code (because I changed employer).

Gone back to #BitWarden after using #GooglePasswordManager (GPW).
My family uses GPW. I'm over 60 and wanted them to have access to me accounts in the future.
But GPW is missing important features:
* Won't create my preferred 24 char character passwords
* Only supports passwords for website -- I store other types of secure data as well
* Can't add custom fields (not a huge problem, but it's handy)
Can't believe Google missed these.

Just come across this nice vid that introduces the Diátaxis approach to #TechDocs. I'd always thought it looked cool was but unsure what it meant.

"What a difference a '-j' makes" is the song I am singing this morning
Just remembered my laptop has lots of cores and if I pass `-j` to `make` then everything runs faster :-).

Well this is disappointing.
“However, these successes have coincided with a general decline in computing and digital skills education at the secondary school level, particularly affecting girls, certain ethnic groups and students from underserved socioeconomic backgrounds,”
As a nerd I approve teaching "hard core" CS subjects.
But society *must* provide digital skills and knowledge for the *whole* population.

Been fiddling around with the web interfaces to #ChatGP, #gemini etc al? Want to try something more "hardcore"?
This is nice intro to running a local LLM via Ollama
https://youtu.be/h_GTxRFYETY?si=OQ9tHwAlEsdp0Ypx
I've been using it via a local container to save installing the software. However it's so slow on my Macbook Air M1 as to be unusable.
It worked much better when I ran it on my Google Cloud Shell (which is free), again via Docker

Tell me you live in Melbourne without telling me you live in Melbourne.
1) The barista starts making my coffee before I place the order.
2) They use my preferred blend, which is not the default for my coffee
