Long-time SRE and infosec person and WoSo fan. I've already had my 15 minutes of internet fame discovering the first published remote root in Mac OS X.

Find my dog at @meta.dog or @meta@meta.dog on Fedi. She had her name before that guy changed the name of his company.
Whatever encoder Paramount+ is using for this ManU v. PSG UWCL match cannot handle panning under the score or CBS Sports overlay at all. This feels like something that would be pretty basic for a sports streamer.

Between the never-ending passive-aggressive notifications, gamification that is frequently demotivating, a clumsy AI rollout with layoffs, and features getting stuck behind new and ever more expensive paywalls, I'm cancelling Duolingo when the subscription runs out.

PBMs have manipulated the market to enrich themselves — hiking up drug costs, cheating employers, and driving small pharmacies out of business.

My new bipartisan bill with Sen. Hawley will rein in these middlemen.
