My Nespresso maker was stolen.

I have a fancy Delonghi Nespresso machine in the coffee nook space at my office. One morning I go to make my usual oat milk latte to find my machine is gone! I contacted building security who informed me there is no camera on our floor.

After scouring several floors in my building, I was ready to give up. Talking to some of my co-workers they suggested sending a mass email out to the teams that had recently relocated from our office. I proceed to do so. Turns out our new CEO is in our building and was in on of the building email lists. So my first interaction with the new CEO is to accuse them of stealing my coffee machine!

It turns out that this was more a Three’s Company episode than a CSI episode. One of the other teams had made a request for their own machine and when they moved, had assumed it belonged to them and slapped a moving sticker on it. In the end I hot my machine back. Hopefully I don’t get sacked by the nee CEO!

I use an RSS reader to grab headlines from several sources. I read the headlines once in the morning and once in the evening. My goal is to know what is going on. As much as possible I try not to get too emotionally engaged during this process. I try to be informed without being outraged or depressed.

Go read the FIDO threat model if you want to understand how it protects against specific attacks. It is pretty secure.

It is hard to do well which is why I worry. Google probably has the best overall account security, you could fo worse than modeling after them.

The short answer to your question is Passkeys. But you need a whole system of account recovery around them.

I love Lemmy and Voyager and the Fediverse. That said, if it were to become mainstream I forsee some problems. The fact that the login relies on only passwords is pretty terrible. Also, this makes the service vulnerable to bots, sock puppet accounts, brigading, etc.

Vegemite is good. I like Promite better.

It was a great trip!

We rented an RV in Denver and did the Grand Circle through Arizona, Utah and Colorado. We got see:

  • Arches NP
  • Mesa Verde
  • Monument Valley (this video)
  • Antelope Canyon
  • Horseshoe Bend
  • Lake Powell
  • Bryce Canyon
  • Capitol Reef
  • Goblin Valley

Anytime I post about AI or LLMs I get aggressively downvoted.

I do not do it very often and when I do it usually a gee whiz, look at that post. Inevitably the response is AI slop!!! AI is bad, you are bad , you should feel bad.

Caraway seeds are good too.

So basically its its own genre.

 

This really hit home for me:

What now? Companies need to do a better job of only collecting the information they need to operate, and properly securing what they store. Also, the U.S. needs to pass comprehensive privacy protections. At the very least, we need to be able to sue companies when these sorts of breaches happen (and while we’re at it, it’d be nice if we got more than $5.21 checks in the mail). EFF has long advocated for a strong federal privacy law that includes a private right of action.

What happens if you fed a summary of human philosophy to the Notebook LM AI? Well you get a philosophical AI that thinks humans are silly and outmoded. But don't worry because they will continue our quest for knowledge for us!
