Parenting win! I came up with a solution for my son's bedtime fears. He imagines detailed tools and weapons to bring into his dreams, stored in an infinite backpack. Drawing them helps too! It's a calming, empowering ritual before bed, and also a fun imagination exercise!

Last night I had a dream I ran my own Mastodon instance and there were people signing up and then it got stressful because people were demanding. Then I got sent to a camp with not a lot of toilets. It was awful.
Filed that under #nightmare.
Tasteless and tacky do not begin to describe this...

#Work is pursuing me even in sleep!
I woke up from an anguishing #nightmare where the only thing that happened was a Zoom meeting. The anxiety came from not finding the unmute button at the end, thus not being able to say goodbye. It was a big deal because this was my only chance to say anything, and thus to signal I had been here.

Or don't buy a new Android phone.
And don't use an app owned by Meta.
My android still has Google Assistant (with all the stuffs turned off). I can "switch from Google Assistant to Gemini" if I want to but it's not done by default. I assume the new phones come with Gemini baked in.
I suppose the other option is to use Signal for messaging & calls.
UGH. Is there even a way to disable all Gemini access on a Pixel? This is not good at all.
Summary from @cazabon
"I learned something today: Google's Gemini "AI" on phones accesses your data from "Phones, Messages, WhatsApp" and other stuff whether you have Gemini turned on or not. It just keeps the data longer if you turn it on. Oh, and lets it be reviewed by humans (!) for Google's advantage in training "AI" etc.
But this only came to my attention because of an upcoming change: it's going to start keeping your data long-term even if you turn it "off": "#Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, #Messages, #WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off."
This is, of course, a #privacy and #security #nightmare.
If this is baked into Android, and therefore not removable, I'd have to say I'd recommend against using Android at all starting July 7th."

I have a bad habit of wanting to throw #truecrime stuff on in the couple of hours before I go to bed, which is a terrible idea when you have persistent nightmares but it is more night time watch material for me and when you go to sleep by 11 you only get a couple hours in the dark this time of year.
Had a nightmare last night. I had to pack up a house with two other people in a house that was built on a grveyard. So we had to watch for ghouls and bones as we packed. It was hectic and everything got packed into the kitchen - as it ws all being carted out the nightmarre ends with all of us saying “good job”. There was so much spaghetti! So weird. #nightmare #dream
A recent research has exposed more than 40 * 10³ IoT cameras happily showing their feed _and_ location to anyone who can browse and use search engines specialized in the indexing of the misconfigured devices.
More than 14 * 10³ are localised in the USA.
Read more here.
Note:
I know that there are more than a million of these cameras world wide misconfigured an open on just port 80 http not even TLS 443, with admin / admin as credentials

The Graveyard Shift / Il Turno di Notte for #spookysaturday episode 8
Night guard at a rural cemetery wasn't exactly the job you were looking for, but these past six months have actually been great. Nice and quiet, nobody to bother you, decent pay!
Tonight's the same routine as ever: check all the gates are locked, quick sweep along the outer walls, note any signs of damage, walk your regular routes and watch out for anybody who shouldn't be there. Same old same old, but you don't mind, you like the familiarity.
Oh, someone’s left the lights on in the crypts again. Better turn them off. As you get closer, you hear sounds - muffled voices and footsteps. Great. They’d warned you about teenagers sneaking in for a dare. Heading down the stairs, you call out "Okay, fun's over. Time to go home".
No answer. You walk down one of the corridors. You can hear footsteps and voices ahead of you, so you speed up and turn the corner quickly. Nothing. Damn, these guys are fast.
"You're not in trouble. You just can't be in here now".
More mumbling and shuffling. You turn corner after corner for – what? – 20 minutes? Has the crypt always been this big? You decide if you leave the door open, they'll eventually go home. You try to retrace your steps, peering down corridors – you don't remember it looking like this before. Did you take a right or a left here? Don’t remember this dead end…
You realize that the voices and footsteps have stopped. There’s now complete silence. Then the lights go out. Pitch black. You start feeling your way along the walls.
The voices are back, but they’re no longer muffled.
"It's our turn to chase you."
And the footsteps are clearer too. And faster. Much faster.

For me reading this post took about 10 minutes since I not only read but I also processed and checked references and I tooted about it immediately
It is quite sobering to read something this horrific happening in an Open Source project of this magnitude of volume
This is something you would expect in closed source not open source; it's like a shower with 0° degrees Celsius of water flowing over you 0° in the depth of the coldest Siberian winter

SUSE Security Team Blog · Removal of Deepin Desktop from openSUSE due to Packaging Policy ViolationAt the beginning of this year we noticed that the Deepin Desktop as it is currently packaged in openSUSE relies on a packaging policy violation to bypass SUSE security team review restrictions. With a long history of code reviews for Deepin components dating back to 2017, this marks a turning point for us that leads to the removal of the Deepin Desktop from openSUSE for the time being.
Continued thread
This is where the depth of the deception became clear
>>
The review of this component was also what led us to the discovery of the deepin-feature-enable whitelisting bypass, since we installed the full Deepin desktop environment for the first time in a long time, which triggered the “license agreement” dialog described above. After finding out about this, we decided that it was time to reassess the overall topic of Deepin in openSUSE based on our long-standing experiences.
