Chase sends 8-digit 2fa SMS codes, which seems excessive compared to the 6 that most other places use, but even weirder is that the first digit of them has always been the same, effectively making it a 7 digit code. Anyone know what's up with that?

At long last, the OAuth working group has finished the Best Current Practice for OAuth 2.0 Security and it was just published as RFC9700! This has been a long time in the works, and I'm very thankful to everyone who has helped out with it over the years!

This is one of the major inputs to OAuth 2.1, so I'm also very excited to be able to move that forward this year as well!

Every now and then I remember how in 2014 I mined $20 worth of dogecoin, then said this is stupid and exchanged it for 0.05 bitcoin sent to a brainwallet. I can't remember the seed phrase, so it's just stuck in the blockchain, and is now worth $5000

I am still getting monthly emails saying I have a $0 balance from the tenant portal of the apartment we moved out of 18 months ago. Today I logged in to see if I can delete my account, but instead I see new maintenance requests from the last few months 😮

It just occurred to me that YouTube is named after a completely obsolete technology

I really need to remember to put my phone on do not disturb when I'm doing electrical work. The buzz on my leg freaks me out every time ⚡️

The new iOS app icons dark mode is really messing with my brain. I can't recognize any of the icons at a glance anymore, it's like having to re-learn all the branding.

I still highly recommend the Pilot Institute Part 107 course if you've been thinking about getting a drone pilot license! There's a good black friday deal on right now too! https://pilotinstitute.com/course/part-107-remote-pilot/?affcode=245841_o4stdmp5

Well this was a first. Got to the airport and realized I was sitting at the gate in so much back pain that I cancelled my flight 10 minutes before boarding and went back home.

The gate agents were confused about why my cancel request was so simple.

I should know better than to send an email asking if I should do "a or b", because of course the response was "yes please"

I don't want to speak too soon, but so far I slept a solid 8 hours last night and didn't get tired during the mid morning slump, so I think I may have avoided jet lag entirely this trip! #travel

I decided I would appreciate being home at 9:30am instead of 5pm more than I will be annoyed at having to wake up at 4:30am, so I changed my flight home to the early flight. Hope I don't oversleep! #travel

Congrats to BlueSky for launching OAuth support for apps! 🙌 https://docs.bsky.app/blog/oauth-atproto

Any German speakers want to tell me if my instinct on this is correct?

"Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" is the name of a piece of music by Mozart that was just discovered. (He later titled a piece "Eine kleine Nachtmusik")

The English press about this is translating it as "Very little night music" which seems wrong? I feel like either "Quite small night music" or "Completely small night music" would be more accurate.

When does "ganz" change from "quite" to "completely"? Is it ambiguous here?

Someone broke through the chain link fence last week, in broad daylight, while I was home, and didn't notice at the time.

I started thinking about what I could do about it, and it turns out the EA Unifi cameras have a new webhook feature. So now my cameras send a webhook to Home Assistant when someone crosses a virtual line, and it will trigger the siren. Since this is a line crossing event, not generic person detection, I can leave it armed 24/7, since nobody should be in that area at all.
