Based on how I've only had one more hit on my followees moving to mastodon, I'm moving up my plan to turn off my account here. I shall be shutting off my access to Twitter at the end of next week.
I am @kinnison@fosstodon.org if you're newly moved and haven't remembered me.

110 of the people I follow still have not published a mastodon identity in their profiles.
I've only picked up one more in the past week, so if this trend continues, I'll be leaving this account for dead much sooner than I expected.

Here's your friendly repeat reminder - I'm now @kinnison@fosstodon.org and as I notice content being on the fediverse I am unfollowing people here so that I can better see who I'm losing out on.
I expect to lock down my account and ignore this platform by the end of the year.

As I start to notice people's content being more on the fediverse than here, I intend to start unfollowing people so that I can see what mess I have left. I am unlikely to post much if anything on here going into the future, but I'll keep the handle for now.

As I have been for the past few years, Rust, likely in VS Code, or perhaps just vim. Really looking forward to this, thank you so much for doing it again.
Easy way to not need to become a skilled carver - serve an entire chicken to each guest and say "It's carve-for-yourself!"

Reminds me of something from the Artemis Fowl books. Paraphrasing:
"Foaly had constructed the entire LEP IT system such that if anyone other than him tried to operate it, it would come crashing down about their pointy ears"

Getting locked out of your company without notice makes it really hard to disable the dead-man switch for your logic bomb.

"It's not the fault of the language that there are buffer overflows leading to RCEs" says only language where this regularly happens

Who can I pay to write a Rust EFI application that does nothing other than scan available partitions for binaries it can run and put them all in a selectable list before running one of them

I'd love to be able to say "me" but I've never done anything like that before - all the UEFI/Rust people I can find are either employed elsewise, or even Microsoft security people. :(

The last CP/M computer I had was a Grundy Newbrain, which I belive would fit the bill - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundy⦠Some of them even had a VFD on the computer giving you an extra bit of display

I cheated and found someone at a parkrun who had some and would let me try them on - might be harder these days :/
