Cavyherd<p>Goddammit.</p><p>Pixelmator updated this afternoon, which broke a really basic funcion that I use to navigate around the layers in the document ALL THE FUCKING TIME.</p><p>Is it a bug? Is it a new "feature?"</p><p>I just put in a support ticket. God knows if it goes to Pixelmator support staff now, or disappears into some Apple black hole.</p><p>I AM SO UNUTTERABLY SICK OF SOFTWARE UPGRADES THAT DON'T DO ANYTHING USEFUL AND JUST BREAK SHIT.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Pixelmator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelmator</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/UserSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserSupport</span></a></p>
Leibniz Supercomputing Centre<p>Am Forschungscampus spürt der ORIGINS Cluster dem Ursprung des Lebens nach: in interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppen und international. Seit dem Start ist das LRZ Partner, wir sorgen für <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/netze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>netze</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rechenpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rechenpower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UserSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UserSupport</span></a> und mehr. Jetzt hat der Excellenzcluster eine neue Förderrunde gewonnen, ab 2026 wirderforscht, wie und wo nach dem Urknall erst die Elemente, dann Moleküle zusammenfanden und das Leben begann. Wir freuen uns auf spannende Rechnungen und KI-Projekte: <a href="https://www.origins-cluster.de/pressemeldung/exzellenzcluster-origins-startet-in-die-zweite-foerderperiode" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">origins-cluster.de/pressemeldu</span><span class="invisible">ng/exzellenzcluster-origins-startet-in-die-zweite-foerderperiode</span></a></p>
Cavyherd<p>Oh heavy sigh.</p><p>When you ask your expert for help, &amp; they give you what is probably a very simple &amp; straightforward solution. But then you stare at it &amp; think, "Yes.

Daniel Ess :donor:<p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a></p><p>Hi folks, I’m Daniel.</p><p>I’m an Aussie with a background in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> who moved into the cyber world a while back. During my time in IT, I spent most of my time in a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows</span></a> environment, covering everything from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/usersupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>usersupport</span></a> to building <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/servers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>servers</span></a> and deploying new SOEs and managing business systems. Did a lot of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/activedirectory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>activedirectory</span></a> work, and I’m a massive <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/powershell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>powershell</span></a> fan, having used it daily since around 2010. </p><p>Over the years I’ve dabbled in some dev work, including <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/aspnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aspnet</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/csharp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>csharp</span></a> and some <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cakephp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cakephp</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mvc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mvc</span></a> stuff. Also used to dabble in some <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/umbraco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>umbraco</span></a> work back in the day, but that feels like another life ago. </p><p>Nowadays I really enjoy helping clients uplift their <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/emailsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emailsecurity</span></a> by properly implementing <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dmarc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dmarc</span></a>, amongst the usual cloud infrastructure reviews for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/azure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>azure</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gcp</span></a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/aws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aws</span></a>. I’m passionate about helping clients uplift their security using existing capabilities and without breaking the bank. </p><p>In my spare time, I enjoy <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a>, and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> around the house and on volunteer projects. I’m also a bit of a car nut, but that has taken a back seat recently due to other priorities. </p><p>As an Aussie, I like to keep an eye on what’s going on with <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a>, as well as geopolitics as a whole.</p>
