Here’s a video that isn’t from the place where I work (NetFoundry), but from someone works in a different part of AI security. Yet somehow they ended up at the same question that we at NetFoundry ask: How confident are you that your current tools can defend against the new threats brought about by AI? The video features an interview that took place at the recently-concluded Black Hat 2026 in Las Vegas, and the interviewee is Daniel Bardenstein, CEO of Manifest Cyber. While...
Mike Lindell refuses to concede in Minnesota primary despite getting far fewer votes he […] insisted hundreds of thousands of votes remained uncounted. “I’m not going to give up this race until the votes are counted,” Lindell said. “That’s nonsense.” To the surprise of none.
You know I said I wouldn't be messing around fettling this kit? It seems I lied. On the manufacturer's website, the hull is clearly shown as a series of slices on their finished model. I didn't have a massive problem with this, but my lining up of the hull slices wasn't as perfect as I'd like. They were good, all within 0.5mm, but you could see the differences. So, down to the garage, and out with the Mouse. Fitted with the smoothest paper I could find, I attacked the...

Is a big birthday, if not a milestone one. Especially when your kid is leaving for college in two weeks and everything is changing.So you work all day as usual, but your husband makes you a bagel for breakfast and you use your birthday coupon from Vina for lunch.You pick Animales for dinner, even though you are a vegetarian, because you have heard great things and because the always-amazing Adam Witherspoon is the beverage director. And he is happy to see you and takes you...
Since the beginning of time, mankind has yearned to drink a cup of coffee at 5 PM and go to sleep at 10. But now there’s an entire scientific subfield and several companies pandering to this absurd fantasy.Here’s a simplified diagram of caffeine metabolism:Caffeine is converted to a different stimulating chemical called paraxanthine by a liver enzyme called CYP1A2, over a half-life of ~5 hours. Then the same enzyme converts paraxanthine into other non-stimulating chemicals...

Similo is a cooperative card game that is doing well. There are many different decks with different themes and characters. So far I have played three of them. In this game one player is the clue giver and the rest are guessers. A grid of 4x3 is laid out. One of these cards is a secret goal which only the clue giver knows. The clue giver needs to provide information to the rest
Here’s a cool fish trick: abbr --add jjc --set-cursor -- 'jj commit -m "%"' This adds an abbreviation, which is a like an auto-expanding bash alias, that puts your cursor at the % character. So when I type jjc in my terminal and hit space, that expands to: jj commit -m "<cursor>" Handy!
Settling down for bed, had some nice broth, then a little snack of cookie dough and hot cocoa, and I'm feeling better and more relaxed. Nice to feel more like myself before bed.
Last post I wrote about buying several tools from the widow of a woodworker who, after several months of grieving, was ready to let go of her husband's tools. On a separate occasion, I got a few more things from her and this post shows them.A few more new-to-me itemsI already have a pair of mag goggles (though I can't seem to find them right now), but these had an extra lens that pivots in front of the right eye for extra magnification. This pair does not have a light like...
Julie Czerneda ★★★★★ More like the Species Imperative trilogy or In The Company of Others than Czerneda’s more recent Night’s Edge series, To Each This World is a hard science-fiction story featuring multiple alien biologies, space colonies, polymorphic artificial lifeforms with a sense of humor, quantum-entangled tech-mediated telepathy and disposable avatar bodies for the astronauts who try to negotiate the future of humanity with aliens who think very differently from...
This is the fifth client I work with this week who’s auto-replied to an email I sent with this: I am currently on leave returning on the 17th of August. I don’t think I’ve ever had two clients from disparate companies share leave, at least outside popular holidays like Lunar New Year or Xmas. And now five people have? MAMBO NO. 5!? What’s going on? Is there some awesome event going on now to which I wasn’t invited? Do they know something we don’t? If a massive new zero day...
TL;DR: Play, Yattee and Unwatched all refuse to let YouTube pick your next video; each builds a feed from your subscriptions instead of Google's ranking. Play is free to download with the channel-following features behind Premium at $2.99/month, and it's the only one of the three that isn't locked to a single backend. Yattee runs through public Invidious and Piped instances, which Google has been blocking since 2024. Unwatched pulls from YouTube's own RSS feeds and Data...

I was talking with Clara about the new Anthony Bourdain movie coming out, and it… Wait, hold on a moment, Vim is telling me I misspelled the word “movie”. Really? Yeah, look at that, “movie” has a red box around it. Huh. Who’d have thunk it? Wait, Vim has “thunk” but not “movie”? Anyway, I digress. I was talking with Clara about the new Anthony Bourdain movie coming out, and it went something like this: Me: Did you see the news about the Anthony Bourdain bi-opic? Her: I...
Poison Dart Frog from Central America. I don't understand why the Texas Discovery Gardens has almost nothing from Texas in it. I'm also not entirely sold on the idea that looking at an animal in a plastic box is educational. I wonder if, in the future, zoos will be AI-controlled holograms. That way, you could walk among the tigers and not get eaten, and no real tigers would become depressed weirdos who live in a pen for our amusement. I mean, education. Polka Dot Begonia...
Previously, on njms.ca: [[ Studying computer science at the end of the world ]] [[ Studying computer science at the end of history ]] At midnight on June 13th, 2009, analog TV broadcasts were suddenly terminated across the United States. By this point, most people had switched to digital, but the moment still represented the end of an era. A moment captured in this absolute relic of a video: Last Day of Analog TV Broadcasting - June 12, 2009 (Elviskid90) A number of...
Interior, The Shops at Hudson Yards – New York, New York I’m not familiar with all of these stores, but I recognize some of them, so I know this is the high-end section of the mall. It was on the first floor, just as you pass through the main entrance. If you need more evidence of their upscale positioning, peek through the windows and appreciate the level of interior design. Beyond the level of finishing, I’ve discovered a simple rule in retail. The less merchandise...
I planted my garden this spring from seeds. I've got a nice big garden space in raised boxes that gets lots of sun. I decided to try to grow some zucchini. I'm a bit of a hands-off gardener. I try to water regularly, but I also forget, or wait for the rain. I weed, sort of, but sometimes the weeds reach a certain point that it's a bit overwhelming and then I just.. don't (that's this year right now haha). So I planted a few zucchini plants, figuring that they wouldn't all...
I recently watched Codie Sanchez’s video on 10 upgrades to make once you have more money. It reminded me of a 10-idea list I wrote. Here it is. Healthcare. No more ER waiting lines. Shoes, mattress, and chair. No more back pain. Diet and food. No more cheap fast foods. Library. No more ebooks or pirated books. Dedicated reading room. No more reading on the couch. Air conditioning in common areas. No more heatwaves in summer. Workspace. No more virtual backgrounds hiding...
The weather kinda nuked my one plan for the day, and I really didn't find my footing for the rest of the day. The stormy weather kept me from going out, and I just haven't done anything since. It was nice before my partner left for work, but other than that I've kinda just laid around doing nothing, and now I'm at the point where I know I need to get to bed for work tomorrow, but the idea sucks. I dunno, just feels like I wasted my day off. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I...
…the discomfort with temporal uncertainty that manifests as false certainty about the future has, I’ve come to realize, an equivalent in the unease about ambiguity, complexity, contradiction, and opacity that manifests as the urge to stuff reality into airtight categories. Categories are inevitable—language itself is a collection of categories—but their leakiness and limits should be recognized…Categories too often become where thought goes to die. That is, there’s a...
I started this a few times. It’s been some months since we have gone anywhere here in Cambodia. For a long time we did the quick trip to Battambang but we have gone so many times I got bored with the whole thing. I can’t really leave Cambodia until after October when I get a new retirement visa. Must have passport handy to go. Hotels and guesthouses here may take my online version if my wife prompts them. Going outside like to Vietnam is a no. So I think we wait for...
