    @Luke There is a calendar-ish thing on this page - https://events.indieweb.org/tag/frontend #indieweb

    The iCal feed isn't functioning. I'm thinking of using @simon's GitScraper to monitor this page and build an alert from it (partly because I've wanted to use GitScraper for years).

    Aaron Parecki
    what's wrong with the ics feed? I subscribe to it myself just fine. What calendar software are you using?

    @aaronpk and 90 cents will buy you lunch, which requires some reflection.
    Where are you in Cambodia? I just got back from a trip there: Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but also a cruise up the Tonle Sap and along the Mekong. Absolutely loved it.
    Highly recommend this street food tour in Phnom Penh if you can swing it.

    Aaron Parecki
    Quick stop in Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat on the way to Vietnam next week!

    And yes the food is so cheap I almost feel bad buying it at this price.

    @aaronpk Did you have the yogurt coffee at Reykjavik Roasters? We loved it when we visited last year.

    Aaron Parecki
    whoa that sounds fascinating!

    @aaronpk Hrm. Subsystem code per user? I don’t still have my Zelle setup email. Do your login codes start with 4? (If they’re always 4, I assume the crackers already know this.)

    Aaron Parecki
    yeah normally the direct ones are 4

    Seeing as we're paving over federal websites left and right, maybe we can finally address the issue of open redirects on .gov websites? This isn't a new issue and it's not going away. But probably we shouldn't see dozens of pages of porn results all getting indexed by search engines by abusing redirects on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website, for example:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=site:cdc.gov&client=ubuntu-sn&hs=V5N&sca_esv=4986d38ff6c52357&channel=fs&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjU0c2NnciLAxV6STABHey_JpoQpwV6BAgDEAg&biw=1658&bih=863&dpr=1

    Aaron Parecki
    whoa, that appears to be a compromised azure app on that subdomain. If you fetch one of the URLs with curl, it straight up returns xxx HTML, it's not even redirecting first.

    @aaronpk Maybe adding to the mystery: my login codes always start with a 4 (yeah, I’m okay making that effectively 7 digits now, whatever), but when they gave me one for signing up with Zelle it was 8 digits with a leading 2. Totally speculative, but I wonder if they assign a leading digit per subsystem.

    Aaron Parecki
    Oh fascinating, I just tested with Zelle and got similar results, the email code from Zelle started with 8, the SMS was 7

    @aaronpk what gets me is they ask for user name and password, then 2fa with the password again.

    Aaron Parecki
    gotta be extra secure. can't have that session integrity managed server side.

    @aaronpk Email codes always seem to start with 4, maybe it's something to do with the medium they sent it over?

    Aaron Parecki
    same with the SMS codes for me

    > Even though we have seen some major leaps in performance over the last decade, the devices themselves feel largely the same.

    Couldn't agree more! I was looking through this list surprised at how new many of these things felt still.

    I'm looking to delete my Facebook profile at last. In my final message to my contacts on there I'd like to send them to one or two articles about why Facebook isn't just bad from a #privacy perspective, but also why decentralised #fediverse platforms are much better in the long-term. Maybe throw an anti-Musk/corpo message in there too.

    Does anyone from those circles (and maybe #indieweb?) have any easy to read and motivating articles for non-geeks to learn more and get active?

    Aaron Parecki
    My tip is don't actually delete your Facebook account, do this instead: https://aaronparecki.com/2020/06/14/14/how-to-leave-facebook

    @aaronpk true, true

    and "podcast" named after two!

    Aaron Parecki
    wait, I thought the "cast" was from "broadcast" which is definitely still a thing

    Is anyone doing „this week in #indieweb” type of newsletter? I’d love to know what is the buzz.

    Aaron Parecki
    There's an automated one that pulls from the indieweb wiki and related spaces here: https://indieweb.org/this-week-in-the-indieweb You can add blog posts to it by posting them to IndieNews https://news.indieweb.org/en

    @aaronpk oh interesting. What is your storage and reheating process?

    Aaron Parecki
    Vacuum sealed bags in the freezer. Then air fry at 375 for 7 minutes to reheat! I cut the bags longer than they need to be so I can reuse them several times too.
