In blog.malwarebytes.com/mac/20…), @Malwarebytes found Chromium's use of the new macOS POSIX_SPAWN_NP_CSM_ALL flag.
We set that flag to help protect against RIDL and other MDS attacks: groups.google.com/a/chromium….
Amazing. Complete with bomb-explosion erase with sound effects!

Starting to think the doggo has discovered arbitrage. He'll pick up random street detritus that only has marginal value to him, but he knows I value it being out of his mouth. If he drops it promptly after being told to "leave it," he gets a treat, which he values highly.

Back in Sept. 2013 I embarked on a mission to watch every episode of live-action Star Trek chronologically (OST through ENT). I have now finished watching all 703 episodes!
At its best, Start Trek is inspiring, usually entertaining, though there are also duds. Ranking things:

(all logicians are great)
Other faves: Uhura, Troi, Worf, Odo, Quark, Dax, Trip
Tonight I start Discovery… curious to see what difference 12 yrs makes

I wrote a mail server! It provides email address privacy for a single person. Any mail sent to the domain is delivered to a single account (catch-all/wildcard), giving you disposable addresses. You can also REPLY from any address (even in Gmail)! github.com/rsesek/mailpopbox
I've been running mailpopbox myself for ~3 years, but the [sendas:] Subject line feature took a while to design/write. More info here: bluestatic.org/software/mail…
