Nope. The basic rule is that you don't do things with wolves you shouldn't do (like feeding them and thus gradually letting them get comfortable around humans), and that you don't do boneheaded shit like leaving a small child alone in nature (which is common sense in most of the world). For a wolf a three year old child is just about the same as a boar or small deer.

Anyone over the age of 12 though? Wolves won't bother you unless you've managed to fuck up nature to such an extent that they can't find their usual diet (deer, boar, etc.), and even then attacking an adult is really desperate.

There was an interesting interview with an Italian expert about wolves and people in the news this week:

Scroll down to where they do that under Spatial Efficient.

Iosevka is more of a parfois-serif I guess.

I have no idea why they chose 'ligation' instead of just ligature, but it was jarring every time I encountered it.

I was wondering why it did that. This is really the kind of site where this is not a feature you should use.

NEVER run out of improvements to be made. Rule number one of getting audited.

Always leave an obvious-once-you-see-it, but minor, defect somewhere for the auditor to latch on to. One they can earmark for you to come up with a plan to address the issue before they grant you the certificate (and which you'll be able to write up in no time because you planned for it).

A good auditor and a company actually taking this stuff seriously can benefit from 27001. That probably accounts for 5% of all 27001 certifications out there.

If you're lucky you get an auditor who's just there along for the ride towards early retirement in a few years, and who'll joke with you and eat your lunch. Had one of those once. Doesn't help your security one bit of course, but it makes audit time more relaxed.

ISO 27001 means they have processes in place that proof that risks are monitored and continuous improvements are being made. ISO 27001 means they have policies, and can show those policies to the auditor.

Never assume that having that certification means that shit is actually secure. It just means the company can do the audit dance.

* Fridges are welcome to send a panic message.

* Fridges are read-only through their remote interface.

Both of these can be true if you must connect them to the internet.

Tongue-in-cheek, but my Moccamaster which I bought second-hand is still doing great after 15 years. Two deep cleaning sessions in all that time and just running it with vinegar a couple of times a year seems to be all it needs.

The device is dead simple. No advanced electronics. Nothing complex that can break. Just a coffee maker fine-tuned to near perfection.

The only flaw it has is the handle for the pot. I've resorted to replacing the plastic handle with a fancy walnut one I made myself. I needed that because we tilt the pot sideways to fill the reservoir with water (because of the placement on the kitchen counter and the cabinets above), and that plastic handle is not designed for sideways stresses.

Thanks, good to know. I know they removed a family plan at one time, but I hadn't seen this new one yet.

I wasn't impressed by the 15 metres, but it turns out that is the maximum depth reached, not the length of a tunnel.

Same here. Fastmail is great. The only thing that bothers me is not having a family plan so I can cheaply give my kid his own inbox in due time.

Although to be fair, I welcome competition, and I like seeing people end up with other solutions. I would hate it if Protonmail and Fastmail were the only viable services offering this.

Tip: you are blocking text selection for the terms of use and in a number of other spots. People often use text selection to copy and paste words for a variety of reasons. Some people select blocks of text to help mark what they are reading, and some people use it to paste the words in a dictionary or translation service of their choice. (Or when making a bug report to copy the version number from the about screen.)

Don't block text selection for prose, only for UI elements.

WooCommerce.

Unless you want and can go with Shopify and go all in on their platform, WooCommerce is what you need to host an online store on hosting of your own choosing. Alternatives seem to lack the numbers to tackle issues when something goes wrong without too much downtime.

(WooCommerce being a popular WordPress plugin.)

For many demographics nicotine by itself poses a clear health risk. Basically that's pregnant women and anyone under 25 whose brains are still developing, according to the CDC. The WHO further states that nicotine use also increases cardiovascular risk, and that's for everyone. This last one was new to me too until a while ago (although fortunately I never take nicotine in any form).

That is what is left if you ignore the big one, which is its addictiveness. By itself that is probably not directly harmful, but the ways of consuming nicotine mostly are. Nicotine pouches carry some health risks, but are obviously not nearly as bad as snus and other crap like that containing tobacco.

A common assumption. A filter filters out harmful stuff right?

Except they don't:

There have been calls in the Netherlands (perhaps even at the EU level) to ban filtered cigarettes, for the simple reason that they are misleading and offer no protection, but are harmful to the environment because of the non-degradable micro-plastics.

Part of the problem is that vapes easily let you ingest a lot more nicotine than cigarettes. Researchers in the Netherlands found that some teens are vaping so much they effectively have the nicotine intake of a three pack a day tobacco addiction. This is due to a combination of (illegal) vapes being available in all sorts of fruity and hip child-friendly flavours, illegal vapes simply containing more nicotine, and vapes coming in reservoirs good for 9000 or so 'puffs'.

If you stuck with plain vapes bought through a legal channel, that risk factor would have been absent.

There is quite a large gap between checking in with your kid and having an AI analyse their homework and assignments and raising an alarm if anything appears to slip. The latter is a solid WHUP-WHUP-WHUP-WHUP-WHUP on the helicopter parent spectrum.

Missing homework once or twice is part of life and a really good life lesson with low risk besides.

Sensible. Add in a 'Nee, flikker op met je kutcookies' button for cookie consent banners, and you're golden.

This 'maybe later' dark pattern seems to have gained so much traction that UX folk just use it because everyone uses it. There is probably some handwavy reason for it that amounts to not wanting to give the user the feeling they are doing something definitive, but it just ends up being another grain of sand on the micro-annoyance pile of today's tech.

Keeping track of your kids' homework is your concern? Doesn't it only become your concern, briefly, when the school contacts you about your kid not getting their homework done?

OTP works with a password manager too. I have Authy on my Android, and Pass on my Linux computers. The second is backed up properly. This approach just means that enabling 2FA (which is mostly OTP in any case) just means registering the OTP URI in two locations instead of one.

Additional benefit: I can generate an OTP for any service protected like this without having to get my phone from wherever it is.

It's a dumb thing to do too. If you have a website, you control what it says. For a shop or restaurant it's totally fine to just show a nice photo with your name, opening hours, address, and contact details, and just link to whatever social media accounts and reservation/delivery ordering platform you use.

It's also the place that will allow you to inform your patrons when big tech deletes your heavily invested in social media account for some reason.

Not having a normal website means that potential customers who search for you get hit by login-walls for Instagram and Facebook if they're not on it, or 'you need an app for this' with crap like TikTok. It also makes my (volunteer) job of mapping the area around me harder, because I'm most certainly not going to bother to enter any additional info about your business if I have to go to Instagram or Facebook (and in the OpenStreetMap community I'm not alone in that).

Is it? I'm not getting that at all.

Edit: ah, there it is. This site is so crappy loading this weird code that fucks up the clipboard takes a minute. You can tell it is loaded when the text selection colour changes to light blue instead of whatever you normally have.

This is better explained elsewhere in this thread, but it boils down to a totally valid trademark dispute over a company calling itself Automatic.css which supplies services for WordPress installs.

This rings true to me. I am looking at setting up my own online store, and if you sell (legal!) stuff which Shopify Payments disallows, but Stripe does allow, you end up looking at WooCommerce (a very popular WordPress plugin) pretty fast.

What is keeping you hooked to that type of content?

Either your phrasing is really odd, or you are sincerely promoting China's Uyghur 'reeducation' camps as being sensible for the greater good.

Europe meanwhile, in case you are unaware, is all about unity through culture, but the EU does this by celebrating its diversity (as well as actively protecting minority languages), not by Gleichschaltung.

What kind of book cataloguing software (excluding something like an order system for a printer of present day books) demands an ISBN? The article smells due to its complete omission of any verifiable software or marketplace that does this.

The second submission by this bvanbranden account getting flagged today is a clear, well, red flag.

> Somewhere around 11 PM on a Tuesday — it's always a Tuesday — you will attempt to catalog a book printed in Lyon in 1642 and the software will ask for an ISBN. Not politely. Insistently. A red border. A validation error. A small, pixel-perfect indignity.

What kind of crappy software are you using? It would exclude pretty much every serious archive (and quite a lot of home libraries too).

> The problem is the assumption, baked so deeply into most software that it's become invisible, that the ISBN is the identifier […]

Which software makes this assumption? I can register any book I like in Zotero.

> Try selling on a marketplace that requires an ISBN for listing.

Which marketplaces? ABEBooks lists rare antique first editions without any ISBN (which no antique item can have if we assume antique means a century old at least) without issue.

Name and shame them. This article now feels like it describes a real problem, but offers no concrete examples, which makes it feel like a rant aimed at a non-existent problem.
