After a week of painstaking (well... KIND of painstaking) research, I have an update to my macOS disk usage woes. https://darthnull.org/spotlight-update/

I'm still confident I've found the problem, but now I have a better appreciation for how drive spotlight indexing can also eat up a lot of […]

DEF CON Hotline (@hotline@defcon.social) Call for DC33 Hotline volunteers!!! A good candidate might simply be that one person all of their friends come to when they need someone to talk to. This will be a full-time con goon position, working a full shift each of the 4 days of con. Please contact me to interview! 🙂  The DEF CON hotline is an organization that handles calls about code of conduct violations and follows the same structure and teaching as a regional suicide hotline. The reason for such an early volunteer round up, is that we have a training program that will teach you everything you need to know! #defcon #DEFCON33

The Def Con hotline - and the goons who volunteer their time to staff it - is one of the quietly terrific things about our community.

But don’t listen to me… I’m just a middle-aged, uncool guy who always spells TicTok as “TicToc” (or is it “TikToc”). 😉

Beats them all joining red pamphlet, or whatever it’s called, and many TicToc refugees finding their some of their posts getting censored on topics deemed inappropriate by China.

A quick search and I came across Loops, of course after posting this. Supposed to be all Fediverse/ActivityPub-compliant and open source in the near future.

TikTok shuts down in the US as Trump throws the company a lifeline TikTok shut down in the U.S. late Saturday night following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the law that banned the company over national security concerns.

In hindsight should have totally created a Pixelfed instance called tictic, toktic, or something. Just might have accidentally gotten and number of TicTok refugees. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/tiktok-shuts-down-in-the-us-as-trump-throws-the-company-a-lifeline/
