The first step in my journey away from Firefox was turning off some sync options. The next is deleting the Mozilla account.

The leading candidate for replacement is Gnome Web / Epiphany, if I can get extensions working properly.

Tragic end for Firefox, but breaking a core promise is unforgivable.

This year, I fear I may already be overusing the clown emoji.

USB-C was a good idea, but now I have things that need 9v and won't work with some power supplies and some cables. They solved one problem and created two more.

Many emails telling me I've got 'free' GitHub Copilot, including to addresses that I wasn't aware had any connection to GitHub (but that might just be an oversight on my part).

It's not free though, it wants to mine my code and learn it. It makes me the product, not the consumer/customer. Making it free makes me even less likely to use it.

So I'm working on Java & web dev, devops, and mostly Magnolia CMS as a contract tech-lead/consultant/advisor, with infosec leanings (CISSP).

I'm looking to take on new contracts, splitting it out as fractional in 2025. With a UK base, I can slot into EU or US timezones easily enough.

Anybody know of any sites that specialise in this sort of work, or anyone that might benefit from adding a head to their team in the new year? DM me please.

Figured I'd give this a go here, the usual social media channels have changed beyond all recognition since I last went looking for new clients.

I've just come across a Markdown editor that won't open anything other than .md files. It ignores .markdown and all other forms of plain text. I'm shocked, it looked quite good otherwise.

It's Monday, and once again I'm considering binning Wordpress for something more sane. It always ends in a blog that never gets updated (nearly a year counts as abandoned). Blame the tool or blame the author?

I'm not the only one in the house to give up on it either.

Recommendations for something self-hosted that's better? I'm feeling a draw towards running a wiki rather than a chronological timeline.

Anyone know if the Elgato Stream Deck Mobile can work with Linux? I want to try it out on an iPad before I commit to buying hardware. OR is it just a completely stupid idea to allow an iPad to remotely control my desktop machine.... I have a couple of Elgato lights and they don't look like the most robust of APIs...

Still, it looks too useful to ignore.

Just added a new hostname and Let's Encrypt certificate, and it took less than a second before the automated attacks started. Everything has to be watertight from the instant it's online, no exceptions and no opportunity to test & fix before the probing starts. One of the downsides to certificate transparency is broadcasting the creation new things to the world.

Now that I've found how to have multiple mouse cursors on Linux, I want voice commands too. Are there any serviceable Alexa/Siri/Cortana type voice recognition applications that are purely localhost?

I'd be fun to say "Computer, lights"...

Need to stop using my notebook as a wrist rest when typing, turns out Diamine inks do come off the page and make the edge of my hands look like they've been tattooed with ip addresses and notes on how to use k8s. Naturally, it's semi-permanent on skin and doesn't wash off.

Hello to Infosec Exchange. This is my new 'professional' account... so I guess I'll start with a question or two.

Who is good to follow here? Do you do follow friday?

Linux desktop users, are there any good native clients or do you keep it simple and use web browsers?

And finally, are there any unwritten rules here that I should be aware of before I get too comfortable? 😀
