For my last TTS audio peace, here’s Cookie Masterson from You Don’t Know Jack via #UberDuck, with a status on the site’s reopening.

Have an #UberDuck version of her for the time being!

For this Twitter thread of @[email protected] paper (https://twitter.com/RibeiroCarlitos/status/1605147211918196736) I asked #ChatGPT to transform the abstract into a #rap, then had #uberduck.ai perform it #dream.ai adding some cover images. Joint #ai (creative?) power 😃 🤖 🎧

So #Google is doing this now.
This is an actual thing #reCAPTCHA is doing now.
Google. Honey. Bro. You need to put a domestic violence survivor, or at least someone whose job it is to think like a stalker onto every single product management team you have, because the teams you've got are putting forth such bad ideas and NOBODY FEELS EMPOWERED TO TELL THEM SO. Or they just don't listen.
Training people to open whatever QR code a website shows them on their phone is a massively bad idea. I'm honestly not going to be surprised to see an official reCAPTCHA version of the "paste this into the Run dialog box and press enter to prove you're human" scam.
From a #digitalprivacy standpoint, this allows Google to associate your browser fingerprint with your mobile device fingerprint, if they haven't already. "Don't be evil" my muscular buttocks.
If you see this, choose one of the other options to verify (the headphone or eye icons at the bottom).

I'm looking at using #netbox as an IPAM for #proxmox and I'm sad to discover that the native integration is completely unfit for purpose. No way to specify VRF. Unable to handle nested prefixes.
Looking at #terraform (well, #opentofu) to do this instead as a proof of concept. And that's before I get to the CAPI part of treating #kubernetes clusters like the resources they should be.

I am trying to sign up for the #AppleDeveloperProgram. It wants a photo of my ID, front and back. Not wild about that, but signing up to distribute an app through Steam was no less invasive.
Except it doesn't work. They want a photo taken with the FaceTime camera, fine. "Sorry, it was blurry or obscured. Please try again." "Sorry, your files could not be uploaded. Please try again." "This account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. Please contact support."
I'm now on hold listening to fucking opera music after the admittedly very friendly and patient Apple rep admitted he's a contractor and so's his boss and yeah, telling me to wait 24 hours to see if it gets better was probably bullshit.
Get to someone who actually works for Apple. "Have you tried it on your iPad?" Why, no, because I use my iPad for apps and not development stuff. I just wanna publish my game on Steam and check the Mac button.
Okay, let's get the app installed on the ipad and go through the same process again. Oh, it opens up a webview to access the camera. With a "cancel this webview" bar across the bottom, almost completely obscuring the submit button. And it defaults to the front camera, but there are no camera controls. No tap to focus, nothing. It'll get the obverse of my license because there's a face for it to home in on, but the reverse seems specifically designed to fuck with automatic focus. Holograms, shiny glare, no clear face, just bar codes and tiny-ass type. Nothing I do can get the iPad to take a clear picture in this mode, and there's no way to tell it to just use a file already on the device.
So now I'm having to wait while whatever Apple team is in charge of this shit tries to figure out if it's just me or if this might be a systemic problem with their verification process.
Such first world problems, I know.

Anatomy of a well-done scam email:
Legitimate signals:
- Comes from a place where I have an account. This email isn't spoofed, and it's sent from [email protected].
- Reads like a press release. Proper grammar, professional formatting.
- It wasn't uncommon for cryptocurrencies to do "airdrops" where a cohort of people are just given a supply of a cryptocurrency to try to kickstart its economy.Scam signals:
- Cryptocurrency.
- Link to grants dot github dot com slash apply actually goes somewhere else
- Message is actually a notification of a new github issue (i.e. a bug report) with many accounts tagged (the pixelated bit at the bottom)
- "Please note: The authorization requires a refundable deposit, which will be fully returned after the process is complete." This is a hallmark of an advance fee scam. Usually associated in modern times with a deposed Nigerian prince who needs a western partner to help move funds out of the country.
- Claims association with and implies endorsement by Github, but if this were actually endorsed by Github, it would have been sent directly and not by abusing the issue notifications feature.Note: I am not saying outright that gitcoin is a scam, just pointing out the things I would look for in an email like this to determine whether it's phishing or legitimate. Any site with social components that puts user generated content in emails can have something like this happen.

I'm looking at setting up a bunch of self hosted services to replace our (self, family, friends) dependence on corporate cloud stuff. Email (custom, since none of the Just Add Server offerings do everything I need for free), shared drive (likely nextcloud, ugh), docs (likely collabora), jitsi for video, discourse for group forums, and so on.
I'd like to make all of this SSO, to the extent that it reasonably can be.
I'm probably going to use FreeIPA as the identity source of truth, but I'm finding that there are enough new things I need to learn about centralized authentication that I'm having a hard time finding a starting point that doesn't require a bunch of other context. So I'm asking for help.
Does anyone know of a good guide to these sorts of concepts, preferably available online? I'm familiar with most of the other Linux sysadmin concepts and have plenty of hardware and bandwidth at my disposal.
If you don't have an answer but have followers who might, boosts would be appreciated.

I was at a masked meetup in Golden Gate Park today, enjoying the company of fellow #CovidIsNotOver peeps. There's a discord server that we use to coordinate, and it's usually just an informal hang. We're not completely off the beaten path, but let's just say parking isn't a problem.
Guy (properly masked) walks up to us and asks us if we're a #CovidConsious group. He'd never heard of us, and thought he and his wife were the only ones.
Visibility matters, y'all.

I'm not sure this picture was worth it.

For this piece, both crew members had to be behind the camera: one to operate the camera, one to be the operator's peripheral vision. This left nobody to run the lights, so I raided my stash of unbuilt #HackerBox kits for a max485 chip and an atmega32u4 to make a MIDI to DMX controller. The music went into #ardour and I added in MIDI notes to trigger hardcoded scene changes. 2/?
