Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism

My first exposure to this and supposedly just a two line change to the SSH server configuration.

Anyone set this up on their own servers yet? Just for kicks?

Plasma Cannon in Action

This plasma Cannon is pretty awesome.

  • Took my Dodge vehicle in for service. They wanted my email address "so they can get in touch with me if I don't answer the phone." I gave it to them.

    It took less than half a day for the first spam mail to hit my inbox.

    Another Take on the First Railroad Coming to Fort Worth

    At one point Fort Worth's population dropped from 3,000 to 600. Until the unified effort to bring the railroad to the town.

    Old Vickery Elementary School Restoration Attempt

    The old Vickery Elementary School building, while dilapidated, still has nice bones. Hopefully the Beta Tau Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will have success in restoring it.

    It's worth a drive-by if you ever get a chance. Walking past and around though is pretty dicey. There's a good supply of derelicts around and some use the place for overnight stays.

    Comparisons of Grocery Stores and a few product offerings in Fort Worth

    Shoppers tend to stick to a handful of stores they are comfortable with and don’t regularly compare prices. People are creatures of habit, he said, and retail stores take advantage of that.

    The retail store can get away by offering you deep discounts on a few items, and they don’t need to offer you frequent discounts.

    Big Changes for the Southeast Part of Downtown Fort Worth

    Texas A&M. Convention Center. Hotels and Hospitality. Straightening of Commerce Street. Other land redevelopment.

    Gateway Park has 8 Million Dollars

    And there's an effort to determine how to spend it. Seems you get a (small) voice. Sort of like how Dickies Skate Park off Hemphill came to be.

    Fort Worth Home to 2 of 10 Deadliest Texas Highways

    I'm not sure exactly where these are and Google Maps doesn't have an easy way to search by exit numbers. If you know, tell us.

    • Interstate 20 from exit 443 to exit 449
    • Interstate 820 from exit 33C to 33A

    Also this is the first time I've realized 820 is an interstate.

    Passport Fair in Fort Worth - August 6

    There's a "passport fair" at the Downtown Fort Worth Post Office on Lancaster on Sunday August 6th. These fairs are described as "passport acceptance facilities such as post offices, libraries, and local government offices are hosting special passport acceptance fairs across the United States to help you and your family apply for your passport." More about them at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/passports/special-passport-acceptance-fairs.html.

    This one doesn't require an appointment, but I'd still get there early. It doesn't make your passport free ($165 altogether) but does make obtaining one easier since there will be people to assist and walk you through it.

    Hint. Try to park free at the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) parking lot. Technically you need to ride the railway to park there for free but if you act like you belong no one will notice. If that doesn't suit you, just park along the street near the station parking lot and use the tunnel to walk through the st

    Yes, these companies they are buying from are getting rich off our tax money. Boycott Google? Not gonna happen. They just get your money indirectly.

    Fort Brewery Releases New Lager

    This post isn't really about the beer but about The Fort's past. Does anyone remember? This place used to be over on Magnolia. Before the current (Fort) owners bought the place, it was Chimera. And before then, Zio Carlo. The old place is now a liquor store on the corner of Magnolia and College.

    Berry Theater is Now Gone

    Demolished ASAP. As I predicted, no date set and one day it'd just go poof before any more uproar.

    Berry Theater is History

    Saving it will cost too much even with grants and donations, so it will be razed. Date to be determined. And usually the date isn't announced to prevent more uproar. One day it'll simply be no more.

    Today Marks the First Train in Fort Worth (July 19, 1876)

    Today on this day, July 19, 1876, the first train entered Fort Worth. The small town could not wait for this to happen while rails were laid as fast as possible and a makeshift trestle was built over Sycamore Creek which today runs roughly between Beach St and Riverside Dr.

    The arrival of the first train was a major event for Fort Worth. It marked the beginning of a new era for the city, and it helped to transform Fort Worth from a small frontier town into a major transportation hub.

    In 1876, trains were seen as a symbol of progress and opportunity. They were a way to connect Fort Worth to the rest of the country, and they opened up new possibilities for trade and commerce. The railroad also played a major role in the development of the cattle industry, which was one of the city's most important economic sectors.

    Fast forward to 2023, and the way that people view trains has changed dramatically. Today, trains are often seen as a nuisance and an obstacle to development. They can be n

  • No mention of Mosaic (first web browser)? What sucked was you generally had to compile it yourself. That meant installing all the build tooling, building it, and turning it loose. Oh. Windows? Lol. No go. Gotta get an early version of Linux up and running first. That usually meant 20+ diskettes of Slackware installation.

    But then you could surf in all the basic HTTP glory. It was a new world and it was awesome.

    Govulncheck v1.0.0 is released!

    Govulncheck is a command-line tool that helps Go users find known vulnerabilities in their project dependencies. The tool can analyze both codebases and binaries, and it reduces noise by prioritizing vulnerabilities in functions that your code is actually calling.

    • Hello World
    • Read a file
    • Write a file
    • Read a file and loop through it line by line, printing each one (for loop or equivalent)
    • Program that consists of 2 or more source files

    What I'm getting at is instead of a full program, write code snippets and small programs. In doing this eventually an idea for something larger will pop into your head.

  • go1.20.6 (released 2023-07-11) includes a security fix to the net/http package, as well as bug fixes to the compiler, cgo, the cover tool, the go command, the runtime, and the crypto/ecdsa, go/build, go/printer, net/mail, and text/template packages. See the Go 1.20.6 milestone on our issue tracker for details.

  • This isn't true in the least. Purchase a tool and look through the manual. Every section marked "danger", "warning", or "caution" was put in there because someone sued some company because the user or some bystander was hurt or injured.

    Do not post, share, trade, or otherwise make public any ChatGPT output from your sessions until you fact verify that data to the extent that you're willing to take legal responsibility for it. In this case, especially causing a lawsuit against OpenAI. Because when that happens, you will foot the bill.
