Which isn’t exactly hard in this case, because infosec and furry have a rather large intersection. But I still maintain that barrier to prevent work and social lives merging together.

Untitled Goose Game is one of those games that uncomfortably intersects furry circles and work chat. In which I get to pretend that I don’t follow many of the people talking about it in either circle.

@dhivael@dragon.style Yep, these are getting migrated to the tiny computer. 📟

That moment of existential horror when I realize I have 34 TOTP keys to migrate over to new hardware.

I am entirely on board with the new charizard kaiju design and the inevitable fanart that follows it. 💜

Someone made a set of Animal Crossing amiibo cards for the MH World monsters, and I love them all. 💖

Our winter hummingbird population is large enough now that I’ve put out three feeders for them.

Last winter, they were consuming 32oz of nectar a month. The consumption rate peaked this August/September, at this same amount every two weeks. It’ll probably go back down as more birds migrate South, though we have quite a few Anna’s hummingbirds that stay here year-round.

It’ll be interesting to see how they adjust to the new feeders.

@salameleon@snouts.online Depends on the apps and your security model.

I ran Bitlbee off of my home server for quite awhile to connect to various IRC instances and chats. For running a server, however, a cheap hosted instance is better for availability and security.

I managed to get KeepassXC on the tiny computer, since it seems like the best TOTP manager for the job. Now to see if I can make this thing usable, or if I’ll need to try a different program.

After a point, working in computer security made me at least one part near-future SF writer and one part horror writer. Which I guess makes sense.

Some advice from the sf and horror writers’ community for those who, like me, have trouble speaking up in difficult times:

Relatedly, its current heatsink is delicious.

Unfortunately, it overheats when installing large software packages. So I am now letting it install GNOME on a frozen bag of pizza rolls.

I tried doing so in the fridge, but alas, it did not get wifi.

Ohno:

@JulieSqveakaroo Funnily enough, the application will only need six letters (this is a dedicated two-factor machine), and that wouldn’t even be expensive (each display is about $20).
