So if you want to use a USB floppy drive, you use a USB protocol called the UFI: Uniform Floppy Interface.

What's UFI? A way to embed ATAPI commands in USB.
What's ATAPI? A way to embed SCSI commands in ATA.
What's SCSI? A mass storage protocol. Floppy drives don't use it.

Don’t forget that there are cameras with bigger sensors than an iPhone with lenses that can be changed.

Do you have white teenage sons?

Listen up.

I've been watching my boys' online behavior & noticed that social media and vloggers are actively laying groundwork in white teens to turn them into alt-right/white supremacists.

Here's how:

So, I'm migrating my YouTube subscriptions to Microsub, thanks to YouTube's RSS support. I think that when I make my own IndieWeb reader, I'll special-case YouTube posts by adding a YouTube embed inside of them. Or maybe by downloading the video with yt-dl and offering it as a u-video. It'll also serve as an archive... but my HDD would explode!

Hey @facebook, demanding the secret password of the personal email accounts of your users for verification, or any other kind of use, is a HORRIBLE idea from an #infosec point of view. By going down that road, you're practically fishing for passwords you are not supposed to know!

So this just happened:

- a bot found a vulnerability in a dependency
- a bot sent a PR to fix it
