If you want to, ask her and put it in your calendar! It's always nice to know someone remembers you fondly enough to send well wishes 😊

With the number of school shootings here, I think it'd only take weeks.

Explain just what the hell you think "on-site and by hand" means, please.

Nah dude, he harassed her into it until she said yes. Consensual affairs don't involve official harassment complaints.

Edit: And don't look for anything but hypocrisy from people who protect Trump, it's a waste of time

I'm always a little shocked when people ask me if my product is on Amazon. I never even considered it because I've known what they are for so long; it's been a bit of a wakeup call that most people still have no idea how fucking awful Amazon is. It sucks struggling with market visibility, selling just from my own website, but it beats the hell out of being bullied like this until I'm big enough to have my product stolen and copied by Amazon Basics.

I said

For most of my lifetime, date breaches had to be carried out on-site and by hand.

Explain how that means only "emails and USB jump drives". That might be hard, because it doesn't.

As well, you might be thinking of the Black Monday stock market crash, because I don't remember any high-profile hack to exfiltrate data from the Dow Jones. Amongst the only early remote data breaches I am aware of is the German guys who got into the DoD's network and sold the data to the KGB, in the mid-80s, because it was only the military and some universities who had the internet back then.

Remote data breaches have only really been a thing since the 2000s, because like I said, computers were less common and the internet was almost non-existent before that point. The spread of both computers and the internet made it a lot easier. If you're having trouble with the maths, that means I don't in fact have to be "well over 80 years old".

This is not intended as an excuse for corporate laziness by any means, but: For most of my lifetime, data breaches had to be carried out by on-site and by hand. The advent of computers, and then the internet, made this crap a lot easier. So, y'know, it's a pretty short timeline relative to a human lifespan to be having data breaches in the first place.

Looks like it is not:

Update: Sorry, but a commenter points out that this may just be an artifact of counting based on when most recently modified, not on original submission date.

Numbers using original, not most recent, submission dates

For 12/1 to 12/31 the numbers were
2022: 800
2023: 811
2024: 815
2025: 855

For 1/1 to 2/1
2022:510
2023:490
2024:501
2025:544
2026:617

For 2/1 to 2/15
2022:255
2023:221
2024:280
2025:276
2026:311

These do show significant increases year to year for the last couple months, but not the near doubling indicated by the other numbers. The hep-th arxiv apocalypse is not here yet.

Well she's not a goombah, that's for sure!

That's Elvira, so now I need to go find out when the hell there was an Elvira/Mario crossover.

Aaaand I'm back, that was quick: https://www.mariowiki.com/Elvira

I also found these:

80s TV was crazy.

My server auction went up by €0.94, from €31. I'm not mad; I probably would be if it had gone up by €9. Hetzner have been fantastic though, so a small increase like this after so long is not hard to swallow.

Come hang with me for a weekend and we'll test that out. Worst case, I just keep you green! πŸ˜‚
