@Migueldeicaza @alex even the ProPublica piece seems to have gotten substantial blowback and triggered editorial review, although the editors came back defending the piece: propublica.org/article/editors

@wilbowma @palvaro now that I’m a parent it’s 10pm and I’m up past my bedtime 😭😭😭

@wilbowma @palvaro I miss my noon - 4 / 10pm - 2am split work day from end of college & beginning of grad school 😭

The best thing I've seen written on Musk and Twitter is this random YouTube comment (that I can't find a way to link to directly)

@lzg time to order your nb/girl/boyfriend a 5-axis CNC mill?

Already smarting from a breach that put partially encrypted login data into a threat actor’s hands, LastPass on Monday said that the same attacker hacked a senior devops engineer's home computer and obtained a decrypted vault available to only a handful of company developers.

“This was accomplished by targeting the DevOps engineer’s home computer and exploiting a vulnerable third-party media software package, which enabled remote code execution capability and allowed the threat actor to implant keylogger malware,” LastPass officials wrote. “The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault.”

A person briefed on a private report from LastPass and spoke on the condition of anonymity said the media software package that was exploited was Plex. Interestingly, Plex reported its own network intrusion on August 24, just 12 days after the second incident commenced.

It's not clear if the Plex breach has any connection to the LastPass intrusions. Representatives of LastPass and Plex didn’t respond to emails seeking comment for this story.

@jessamyn @astrid my parents' house is about 80' above the spring, and the old farm house is about 40' below the spring, so they are all gravity fed (with the cistern to make up for the pretty tiny pipe doing the feeding, but we needed a pump.

I always wonder how far down their pipe is buried where it crosses the corn field to stay safe from farm equipment.

@astrid @jessamyn about 6 hours after we finished diverting the water flow and draining the pump-house, we get a call from the neighbors "hey, is the water out at your house too?"

@astrid @jessamyn and they had a ~2inch iron pipe running 1/2 mile across the cornfield and feeding into a cistern in their backyard.

@astrid @jessamyn anyway it turns out their whole household had inexplicably been having stomach problems for like 5 months. 🤢

@astrid @jessamyn about 6 hours after we finished diverting the water flow and draining the pump-house, we get a call from the neighbors "hey, is the water out at your house too?"

@astrid @jessamyn fast-forward a bit more than a decade and one winter a family of rabbits chewed through the side of the pump house, fell in, and died. my parents + younger siblings (who hadn't left for college yet) spent the winter drinking bottled water, and then in the spring we all set out to rebuild excavate and drain the pump-house foundation, pour a new foundation and build a new, critter-proof structure on top.

@astrid @jessamyn on the subject of "tiny water utilities" - the house I grew up in was on a property which had been subdivided from an old farm, and our water came from a pump-house built around a spring. when my parents bought it the deed had an easement that the old farmhouse across the field could use the pump house "if needed".

@vsaraph I’m sure there are Very Serious Comic Fans with Very Serious Opinions about the movie, but butts aside, I was pretty entertained

@mekkaokereke @rebeccafinn because that has explanatory in identifying inconsistencies within that mythology - where white achievements aren’t useful in supporting the imperial/colonial narrative, they get erased too.
