You know what's cool? Katy Perry "Never Really Over" in Irish #Gaeilge

Because the original song is all about how she CAN'T get over some dude, and the version in Irish is basically you're a trainwreck and I'm over you now

"Grá ag dul chun cinn
Crá ag éadromaigh
Breathnú orm mar gheal go bhfuilim fos ag mothú beomhar"
I mean apart from the Irish cover being IMMENSELY better than the original, the bit above is translated like so:

"Love moving on
Torment getting lighter
Look at me, so bright, that I'm still feeling lively"

I love it, it makes me so happy ^_^

I think maybe now is the time to talk about DDOS attacks, for everyone who's not techy, and how we can use them to perhaps hose the Texas anti-abortion law, a thread
So: DDOS = Distributed Denial Of Service.

Any website you visit sits on a tech stack that consists of servers, network connections, databases, that kind of thing. Each website is built with a certain level of traffic in mind.
It's best to envision this as a road leading to a business, let's say. The google.com homepage has a dedicated 20 lane highway, and a parking lot that can fit thousands of cars at the same time.

Your local pizza shop is off a side street and has maybe 3 spots.

I went looking for info on the idiots who organized the anti-vax protest at VGH today. They're basically a bunch of nurses and former nurses who appear to have gone off the deep end into woo woo Gwyneth Paltrow GOOP nonsense.
We have, in turn:

- a former nurse who is now a "holistic nutritionist" and totally anti-vax, who is also against masks for no goddamn reason
- a former nurse who was fired from her job and whose license is now under investigation, who appears to think you can cure illness with positive thinking and "natural healing"

PSA for this: how to poison a dataset 101

a.k.a. how to make a database admin want to murder you in your sleep, a thread
Okay so this is from my experience as a senior web dev who specializes in data processing and analysis.

I also did some anti-fraud work in online advertising back in the day
So I've seen some people enter reports for Ted Cruz or whoever and the important thing to know here is that this will not poison the dataset.

The dataset becomes worthless when the owner can't tell the difference between good and bad data.

I swear, at this point I'm still on LinkedIn because the messages I get are HILARIOUS.

Case in point: some marketing guy inviting me to a seminar that will supposedly teach me about this new data analytics platform
It will apparently teach me how to create databases, run queries, and "receive actionable insights"

Whyyyy do these guys all sound the same
Like... Sir, I have written database layers for everything from MySQL to Neo4j to ElasticSearch, could you please describe how yours is different and why I should use it as opposed to any of the many, many tools I already know

Right, I did some reading and here’s what likely happened with Parler. Lots of crossed wires here.
First up: someone noticed that Parler uses sequential integers in the API endpoint to get content.

An API endpoint is just a URL with a value added onto the end that tells the system what you want to get back.
Using sequential integers means that a hacker can set up an automated script to start at 1 and count up, trying API calls over and over again, to get back content from Parler.

Okay something I’ve been thinking about this morning: WTF was the actual intention of the MAGAts who stormed the Capitol building?
There’s all these people on Reddit/here saying that this was an organized coup. And TBH I keep thinking that “organized” is a strong word. 90% of them had no aim other than showing up and shouting.

The other 10% are the ones that should worry everyone.
So Trump does his stupid rally, having fired up the MAGAts for actual months, then says they should march on the Capitol and of course they do, then sympathizers among the security forces let them through to the building itself.
