  1. Just polled my software team: without googling or asking, have you heard of #copyfail ? if so, do you know what it is sufficiently to explain it to a colleague?

    Not a single hand. We make embedded #linux devices. ( yes, ours are affected.)

    Call me old fashioned, but when I was a #developer I _kept tabs on shit_. First coffee every morning was pouring over #slashdot and #thedailywtf and a dozen tech specific #blogs and #newsgroups and #channels. Whats new, or blowing up?

  6. you cando ssl proxy with squid also i think - you run it and grab cert for your browsers, put your bank on bump list and have viz for siem - i still have to do this, is is a bit gray hat, not really but you do need to think about it and be judicious, it is industry standard best practice if you want to look at it objectively (widely used) , it lives on the edge is basically transparent. a good upgrade for malcolm box, can be cpu intensive if you have a busy network - you have to offer this to clients #pkt cap #dpi #flavors of tls #open source #newsgroups

  10. @Lydie Yes I still use Usenet, principally for comp.lang.tcl but not only. I also created a web gateway to make it easy to access Usenet without needing to set up newsreading client software - newsgrouper.org

  15. "Was habt ihr alle gemacht als es noch keine #sozialenMedien gab?"

    Das hieß früher nur anders, in den 80ern traff man sich in elektronischen #Mailboxen, in den 90ern erst in #Newsgroups, dann in chats zb dem #IRC und später dann zusätzlich in #Foren. Der Mensch war schon immer sozial und hat auch digital Kontakte gesucht. Das ging dann auch ins offline Leben von #Lanpartys bis zu deutschlandweiten #Usertreffen . Mitte der 90er bin ich zb oft quer durch DE zu unser Treffen gefahren.

  20. @timbray That's my site. Yes, Usenet is "not dead yet" - tenor.com/en-GB/view/alive-dea . These days most of the traffic is for "dodgy downloads" - binary files of problematic provenance. But a few dinosaurs like me cling on to it as another text communication medium that's not under the control of crackpot billionaires or rapacious corporations. For my preferred programming language the primary forum is still newsgrouper.org/comp.lang.tcl .

  25. I just made another update to newsgrouper.org my web interface to Usenet. If you have registered to post you can now set a Face and/or X-Face icon for your posts by uploading a suitable image in the Preferences section. X-Face images are monochrome and most clients will display them. Face is a newer format which supports colour images but is less widely supported. Both are 48x48 pixels, Newsgrouper will do the necessary scaling and format conversions. 🗨 💬 🗯 💭
