Added the overlay-note-region-name-pending feature to the demo behind a feature-flag.

You can play with them at https://tmr232.github.io/function-graph-overview/?showRegions

Use `cfg-overlay-start: message` and `cfg-overlay-end` comments to denote the start and end of a region.

In one of the most "on brand" things I could write, here's an interview with Dan Keyworth, Director of Business Technology at McLaren Racing on how how the 2024 F1 World Constructor's Champions keep vast amounts of data and tech secured against cyber threats.

“We’ve got 200 people travelling around the world at any one time to 24 different races who, when they try to do something genuine, may look like they’re a threat to our organization,” says Keyworth.

“We’ve got to learn the different network behaviors they’re using when they’re on the road, for our business to recognize it as normal behavior when typically for other businesses, that’s abnormal behavior."

mitmproxy 11.1 is out! 🥳

We now support *Local Capture Mode* on Windows, macOS, and - new - Linux! This allows users to intercept local applications even if they don't have proxy settings.

On Linux, this is done using eBPF and https://aya-rs.dev/, more details are at https://mitmproxy.org/posts/local-capture/linux/. Super proud of this team effort. 😃

"Even if I wanted to improve the app, I really didn't understand how to achieve the increasingly difficult goal I was aiming for. So, rather than writing an automation script that helped me skip over /the hard details/ I focused on learning the science I was trying to ignore."

CONFIRMED: Facebook has *banned* anyone from linking to Pixelfed. #MetaBlockingPixelfed I just tried posting a message on Facebook that reads: "Anyone here using Pixelfed?" with a link to Pixelfed.Social Within *seconds* I got a post saying my post was banned. Screenshots below.

"He burned our libraries. Why did he do that? It's so destructive. Can you think of anything more evil?"
"I can, child. There is something worse than burning a library."
"How!"
"It happened long ago, this was a time when books were not rare as they are today. Everyone had hundereds of books."
"Hundreds! No!"
"Thousands."
"Oh!"
"So, the new kings realized they couldn't possibly destroy all of the books. They would always miss a few."
"What did they do?"

Old digital cameras turn out to be great for kids:

- They come without all the invasive crap of smart phones
- They boost creativity
- They teach user interfaces and controls outside "push shiny moving button"
- They teach basic software concepts like files (yes, knowing about files is a skill) and how to move them around

And probably more.

Coming up next: MP3 players!

It is good when computers make a sound when they are thinking hard. Computers used to click all the time when they accessed their hard drives and it was good cuz you could tell if it was working or frozen. Just now I started a long Rust build. The fans went on high. I was like, oh cool, I can half close the lid and when the fan eases off I'll know the build is done. 25 seconds later the fan stopped. Oh no, I thought. That's too soon. There must have been an error. I opened the lid. I was correct

Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.

Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.
