@tedu is there a reason that honk only includes "ack"d replies in the replies collection?

Just finished landing Exit Code support. So now if more scanners are made or one of the projects gets more features you can quickly switch to whichever makes the most sense for your use case!

I literally lost a ton of sleep on this volunteer incident response work so I'm going to go touch grass for a bit.

More hacks later tonight, still got some loose ends gnawing at me lol.

Trying to explain to someone that using Linux for serious audio production is really not that complicated, it's just a few simple easy steps, only a matter of navigating the trifecta of jack, pulse and alsa, there's nothing to it all, oh, hey come back, I haven't told you how to auto start the audio servers-HEY, get back here

Ah I love pinball

Inspired by perfnow.nl, I've dusted off drafts of my network and device situation analysis. Good news/bad news: devices and networks are improving, but web page payloads are swelling.

The result is predictable: the web is usable for the wealthy, but less so for everyone else. This is an ethical crisis for frontend:

> The essence of Free Software is: “When it breaks, you get to keep both halves.” If something doesn’t work the way you want it to, you can change it so that it does. [...] If you want the software to get updated—to have bugs fixed and security vulnerabilities patched—you want something very different. What you want is an ongoing supply of software, not a copy of a specific software artifact. Confusing these two situations is, I think, at the core of the current angst about sustainability of free and open source software.

ISPs and cellular carriers will no longer be required to meet minimum cybersecurity standards after an FCC vote Thursday. “This is such a terrible idea. This is rolling out the red carpet for another attack,” EFF’s @cooperq told CNET. https://www.cnet.com/home/internet/internet-providers-can-monitor-their-own-cybersecurity-standards-says-trumps-fcc/

@mariusor btw with your keen eye i fixed authorized fetch in underbbs and am making progress on the rest of my backlog; thanks ^^

starting the week with some filesystem shenanegins. i have website updates to make soon on this subject ^^

very productive day: i cleaned house in the morning, then solved the lighting problem (cheap portable shop light for my kitchen counter, clamp light for the guest room, disco LED bulb for the porch), and finally picked up some furniture for the guest room so there's finally floor space in there ^^

i love it when large parts of the operating system are just unresponsive
