Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

                              And here's another issue with passkeys. Many of us have had the experience of having to help a less technically inclined friend or relative, often remotely, who has had access problems with an account. This can mean resorting to the undesirable but in some situations necessary practice of using their login credentials to get into their account and straighten things out for them. How is one going to do this with passkeys, that may be on a device thousands of miles away? Passkeys will inevitably mean more users locked out of their accounts and at the mercy of the terrible account recovery procedures of firms such as .

                                BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.

                                              Googling it, I found a lot of people complaining about it. The exe is part of AMDs "Ryzen Master" utility that my motherboards "GCC" tool installed for me. The commonly accepted solution is to just disable the auto update service through the windows task scheduler. But that sounded too easy for me, tonight I actually went through the efforts of finding the root cause.

                                              My first thought was: What is so broken about my hardware / setup that this random tool is just broken, it surely can't just be broken for everyone... right?

                                              Right?....

                                              Well... The tool in question is written in .net, this is very good because

                                              A) .net is easy to decompile / reverse

                                              B) I have written .net code a few years ago

                                              So I went ahead and reversed what the tool does (or at least, what it is supposed to do).

                                              The tool will attempt to download the file "VersionInfo.xml" from some URL that's stored within it's .exe.config file. Looking into that, hilariously enough there are two URLs, one being labeled "Production", the other being labeled "Develpment" (not a typo on my end), you can guess which of the two is commented out :P. However, this does not appear to be the issue, since both files appear to be the same in practice, let's dig deeper.

                                              I noticed the downloaded file ends up being 0kb, so obviously something went wrong.

                                              For downloading they use the "WebClient" class, they set a completion callback in which they call a different method to parse the file and display update option based on it's content. They also wrap the whole "WebClient" invocation into a try/except block, but since no error is being logged, it doesn't seem there is an exception happening. (See picture 2)

                                              However, I noticed the callback is being fired with an object of the type "AsyncCompletedEventArgs" and looking at the documentation, this object has an "error" property that they unfortunately do not check for, nor log it. Instead, if there is an error, the program will simply try to open the 0kb xml, fail and deadlock forever, with absolutely nothing being done in the background.

                                              Using a .NET debugger, I was able to retrieve the error:

                                              ERROR: The request was cancelled: A protected SSL/TLS channel could not be created

                                              Long story short, it turns out that WebClient by default sends a TLS 1.0 request to the server and the server at some point was updated to only support TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

                                              This also means, it is in fact, BROKEN FOR EVERYONE. IN PRODUCTION. FOR POSSIBLY YEARS...

                                              Using a .net recompiler (man .net really has some fancy tooling...), I was able to add the line
                                              ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = (SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12);
                                              which fixes the issue and I'm probably the first person in probably years to see the proper "update available" dialog (see picture 3), lmao.

                                              So who's to blame here?
                                              AMD? Microsoft?

                                              I really don't know why this .net API doesn't try newer TLS versions if the older fail and instead requires an explicit flag to be set. On the other hand, AMDs tool is really shitty, doesn't do proper error checking and I would argue this cmd window should never open to begin with, which it wouldn't if they configured the task correctly.

                                              My #ActivityPub developer guide moved to another repository: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/ap-next/src/branch/main/guide.md

                                              It started as a FEP, but has evolved into something bigger.

                                              About the repository:

                                              As stated in the readme, ActivityPub Next is a project dedicated to evolving the ActivityPub protocol.

                                              Currently it only contains the developer guide, but I think that more content will be added over time.

Panel 1: An orange, round-headed character with dot eyes and a small dot mouth stands facing a yellow, similar-looking character who is partially obscured, reaching out a hand. The orange character says, "YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME, I'M STUCK IN A TIME LOOP."

Panel 2: The two characters are now fully visible, standing opposite each other. The orange character asks, "HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?" The yellow character, looking concerned with a downturned mouth, responds, "ABOUT 4 PANELS."

Panel 3: The orange character looks at the yellow character with a slight smile. The yellow character is now shown climbing the brown border of the comic panel, looking back at the orange character. The orange character asks, "HAVE YOU TRIED CLIMBING OUTSIDE OF THE COMIC?" The yellow character, with a determined expression, says, "GOOD IDEA."

Panel 4: The yellow character has successfully climbed out of the comic panel and is no longer visible. The orange character stands alone in the bottom right panel, smiling brightly, and says, "GOOD LUCK."

                                                      A) No they won't. It's expensive as shit to uproot your entire operation, rehire, retrain, and reorganize entire production lines from the ground up, not to mention a gigantic pain in the ass.

                                                      B) Even if they do, that will leave a hole in the economy which can be filled by small business and entrepreneurs.

                                                      C) Even if it doesn't, trickle down economics is a filthy lie sold to you to keep you complacent. You can do better than a below minimum wage gig economy sidehustle. Demand better from employers.

                                                                      • Throw up some half-finished code (with incomplete or nonexistent backwards compatibility) that solves some of the problems of the old system but doesn't address all of its use cases and introduces more problems for other people.
                                                                    • Declare that the old thing is deprecated and everyone needs to move to the new thing.
                                                                    • Create a load of work in the rest of the ecosystem that other people have to do.
                                                                    • Silence all criticism by pointing out that the old thing was imperfect.

                                                                    And that's the kind of thing that you can only get away with if you're able to act as a monopoly, by employing maintainers at key points across the ecosystem.

                                                                    The biggest problem with Microsoft was not that their monopoly allowed them to be evil, it was that it allowed them to be stupid. A lot of things in the MS ecosystem are actually bad for Microsoft, but they're pushed out because no one inside MS cares enough to do the right thing and no one outside is able to fix the problems. I, personally, don't want the F/OSS OS ecosystem to end up like that.

                                                                          Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.

                                                                          That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).

                                                                          Freedom is always worth fighting for.

"Open Source software users are in fact consumers, so they have the right to demand" or "Open Source is now in the hands of corporations, so it's fine to be demanding" were the most common comments.

Readers, I can't believe I have to say this, but don't do this. I can't speak for every writer out there, but for me, I want my beta readers to actually *connect* with me through the imperfect, pantsy, chaos of my drafts. I'm letting you see the unedited bleeding onto the page. If you can't be bothered to read it, then why are you anyone's beta reader? If you don't understand something, ask! That's what being a beta reader is all about!

                                                                                                  They justified it by saying well, giant LLM can spot plot holes in Romance novels better than I can.

                                                                                                  If one of my freelance editors does this. I wouldn't know what to do. I don't want to pay someone for just shoving my work into an LLM. What am I even paying you for? But none of my editors have done this, yet. I'm just frustrated and I feel as if I've been betrayed, and like my beta readers don't take me seriously enough to engage in my messy, raw, unedited, texts.

Lo que sí sabía era lo que todo el mundo me decía que debía ser: un buen niño judío que acabaría convirtiéndose en un buen hombre judío. Construí ese niño desde el barro con mis propias manos y le di la forma que los demás esperaban. Sobre su frente escribí אמת, verdad, deseando que viviera una verdad que yo no comprendía.

                                                                                                        Escribí uno de los nombres de Dios en un pedazo de papel, se lo metí en la boca y vivió. Durante 35 años caminó ocupando mi lugar, viviendo una existencia falsa, usando mi aliento.

                                                                                                        Cierto día ya no pude soportar la asfixia y necesité morir o recuperar mi respiración. En un momento de fuerza, borre el aleph de su cabeza, y este se desplomó. No murió tal y como mandaba la frase en su frente, porque en realidad nunca estuvo vivo.

                                                                                                        No me había dado cuenta de cuánto barro había acumulado a lo largo de los años. Qué profunda era la vergüenza, qué pesados eran los trozos de lodo seco. Mis manos, ahora heridas y sangrantes tras desmenuzar mi golem, finalmente encontraron el pedazo de papel, largamente olvidado.

                                                                                                        Y entonces vi que el nombre que había escrito era el mío propio.

The embarrassing cringe reckless and lazy bullshit that you did when you were new, and the various times you brought down Prod. We ALL did it sometime. And then tell them: the moment you realized you fucked up, I know, the impulse is to try and cover it up, but don't do it. Come to the seniors you trust, and they'll help you unfuck it, and fight management tooth and claw like mamma and pappa bears to defend you from any shitheads in management. Because that's what our seniors did to us.

                                                                                                                                        LinkGaslighting? - For several months now I’ve continued my project where every day I go back through my archives and clean up broken links in old posts. If something is broken and I can find it in the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/), I replace the link. Lately I’m noticing something new and insidious. Of course there’s a lot of linkrot, where stuff is just gone. (In my archives, Yahoo News and Make’s Craftzine are the two biggest offenders.) Then there’s stuff that’s gone, but the domain has been repurposed by someone else. Sometimes it’s obvious (porn and gambling ahoy!) and other times they create a plausible looking site filled with SEO glurge. And then there’s this third dark pattern I don’t even have a name for yet, where the same entity is still in control of the domain and the link goes to a plausible looking URL, but it’s NOT the page I linked to originally.

                                                                                                                                        Here’s an example. In 2001 I wrote a post (web-goddess.org/archive/554) about Jenna Bush, saying I sympathised with her and that she was just acting like a college student. In it, I linked to a Salon.com article (salon.com/mwt/wire/2001/05/30/) about her. If you follow that link now, you are silently redirected to an article about her beliefs about safe sex (salon.com/2007/09/25/jenna_bus). If you don’t look closely, you might miss the fact that the safe sex article is from 2007. If you go to the Wayback Machine, you’ll see that the actual article I linked to was about her buying booze (web.archive.org/web/2001060509). I’ve now found several other Salon.com links to that redirect to posts about the same general topic of the post, but aren’t the actual one I linked to.

                                                                                                                                        Another example. In 2013 I linked to (web-goddess.org/archive/11354) a Serious Eats recipe for “tobacco cookies” (seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/0). If you click that link now, you’re redirected to a recipe for Chocolate Dipped Tuile “Cigarettes” (seriouseats.com/chocolate-dipp). That one gave me pause. Is that what I originally linked to? If that’s what the recipe is called, why did I call it something else? Here’s the Wayback Machine to the rescue again, confirming that there really used to be a recipe for tobacco cookies (seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/0). WTF.

                                                                                                                                        I’m not clear on why or how this is happening. Maybe some sort of custom 404 logic that picks out a keyword and sends you to a likely recent link? It’s infuriating though that they don’t give you any warning that it might not be the page you’re looking for. It makes finding broken links that much harder, because they’re actively trying to gaslight me. Links are a contract and a promise. Silently redirecting web-goddess.org/archive/77747

I knew who everyone told me to be, a good little Jewish boy who would grow up to be a good Jewish man. I built that boy out of mud with my hands and shaped him into the form others expected. On his forehead I wrote אמת, truth, hoping it would live a truth I didn’t understand.

                                                                                                                                            I wrote a name of God on a piece of paper and placed it into his mouth and he lived. For 35 years he walked in my place, living a false life with my breath.

                                                                                                                                            One day I could suffocate no longer and needed to die or take my breath back. In a moment of strength I removed the aleph from his head and he fell apart. He did not die as his forehead now read, for he was never alive.

                                                                                                                                            I didn’t realize how much mud had accumulated over the years. How deep the shame was, how heavy the long dried pieces of dirt were. My hands, now torn and bleeding from breaking my golem apart, finally found the long forgotten paper.

                                                                                                                                            I see the name I wrote was my own.

CEO walking down the street talking on his cell phone: i’ve tried everything to find new workers. I’ve gone to job fairs. offered them T-shirts for applying.

Guy on the street: did you offer higher wages?

CEO continuing his phone call: I can’t fill these jobs. I even got the government to throw people off unemployment. nothing works.

Woman on Bike: have you tried offering higher wages?

CEO: i’m offering unpredictable schedules, minimal benefits, and nine dollars an hour and they still don’t want my jobs?

Little girl playing hopscotch: you should offer higher wages 

CEO as he passes two people on the street, holding signs that say higher wages:  i’ve tried everything they just don’t want to work. hello governor, can we arrest people for being unemployed?

down at the very bottom of the comic the CEO says: i’d love to pay higher wages, but we don’t have the money. I had to get by on only a $38 million salary this year!

I left a home, 15+ years of shared work, a dog, a cat, and a boy (well, I didn't really literaly left the boy behind, of course, he's still a part of my life). It was painful, but it also looked like a new open threshold. I want to think that I left with respect for the other part, though not everybody agrees. At least, I was sincere to myself, as my life needed a new path. Not everybody understood why I took my decision but I had no other option.

                                                                                                                                                                You've probably heard that life goes on and most changes are for the best and what not. I won't repeat that.

They're very arrogantly giving me 100% wrong legal takes to justify their actions - and all in writing!
