Long on opinions, short on facts.
@Gargron See, this is exactly why I stick with the server side of things. It's too scary out there.
As the Brexiteers try to distance themselves from the disaster they have wrought, one fearless Redditor holds them to account.
We must champion this brave soul who stands in the face of so much gammon.

Remember, this is the "open source friendly" MS that might be buying GitHub.

Seems like even the mainstream is catching on.
@dick_turpin oh, you're back. I thought you were hanging out with your new pals on Steemit.
A depressing story from Glasgow, Scotland.
Remember folks, hot cars can kill.

Wait, I am upstream.
Sheeeeeiiiiit.
@Gargron that site isn't being updated anymore. There are 100+ pending PRs. New place seems to be http://justdeleteme.xyz/ (https://github.com/jdm-contrib/justdelete.me/)
If you ever need to delete your account from somewhere but can't find the option, there's this tool: http://backgroundchecks.org/justdeleteme/
Hm, guess we're doing this again - hello new folks! Enjoy your stay
As #OpenBSD's de-facto wifi maintainer, I first learned about this WPA problem in June. A simple patch was provided which I could commit with slight modifications.
The original embargo was already 2 months long, and then extended again for 2 months.
The generall public (you) were left in the dark about this for at least 4 months.

#WPA2 #KRACK Vulnerability Summary
* 4-way handshake nonce reuse attack
* does NOT allow recovery of WIFI password or 4-way handshake negotiated encryption key (except for linux/android which can be tricked into using all-zero encryption key--lolz)
* does allow the attacker to preform a full MITM attack on a Wi-Fi connected client
* no access point patch can fix this, EVERY client device that connects to WiFi needs to be patched
Blarg. Morning.
Please imagine an insightful/amusing toot here, I haven't the energy.
Hey Edinburgh, where do I eat dinner?
Currently near the castle having a fine pint, thinking maybe Mexican. Not a curry, had that last night (wasn't great).
Should have tooted this earlier.
What me, plan?
Edinburgh has an amusing way of dealing with fag ends.

@BryanLunduke was our only champion to appear and inquire for us at the W3C conference on DRM. We must not take this lightly.
W3C rejects appeal, approves DRM standard, votes kept secret
The W3C has rejected the appeal to remove (or reconsider) the EME/DRM Web Standard. Thus making EME (a framework for DRM) now a formal recommended W3C standa...

BBC caught in yet another flase balance scandal after giving a sicence denier a platofrm. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40889563
It's 2017 and the fact they still fall into this kind of trap is absolutely staggering.
Urgh. I couldn't make LinuxBierWanderung this year and *NOW* I remember about OggCamp when it's too late to do anything about it.
What me, organised?
