As we conclude a year of music, I look back and see how exceptional it's been. I'd say we haven't had a year this good for music since 2019, and potentially even 2016. New Kendrick, Xiu Xiu, Chelsea Wolfe, and other favorites dropped. This year was a rollercoaster of emotions for me, but music made it infinitely easier to deal with.

In my latest post, I list my favorite albums of 2024. What are some of your favorites?

"Matt Mullenweg announced the abrupt pause in services offered by WordPress.org, affecting plugin submissions, reviews, theme submissions, and additions to the photo directory."

"He then shared a cryptic message that implied there was a chance that WordPress may not resume those services in 2025..."

Looks like things aren't going well at WordPress 😬

Where to Watch New Year’s Eve Celebrations From Around the World


The image shows a vibrant fireworks display over a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In the foreground, there are houseboats and the calm waters of the canal reflecting the colorful lights of the fireworks. The background is filled with the stunning spectacle of fireworks exploding in the night sky, with the city's buildings and trees lining the canal visible amidst the bursts of light. The city lights illuminate the buildings along the canal, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere against the dark night sky.
Links to live streams for various cities around the world. Why celebrate once when you can celebrate on the hour all day long!

Not all are pointing directly at the celebrations though, e.g. Cape Town’s cam is pointing towards the mountain, and not towards the Waterfront where the fireworks are going off. So for Cape Town maybe try this one at https://www.earthtv.com/en/webcam/cape-town-table-mountain/live-stream or this one further away especially for the fireworks at https://www.capetown-webcam.com/category/uncategorized/feed.

Home Assistant’s new hardware voice assistant answers to ‘Hey Jarvis’ and can work offline


The image shows a small, square device, possibly a smart home gadget, resting on a surface. The background is a gradient of soft blue and orange hues, creating a calm and modern atmosphere. In the foreground, the device is the primary focus, with its sleek, white design and subtle glowing circle on the top drawing the viewer's attention. A thin cable is connected to the device, suggesting it is powered or connected to a network.
There’s a new voice assistant in town, and this one can work locally in your home without phoning home to its corporate overloads. This week, the popular hobbyist smart home platform Home Assistant officially launched its first voice assistant hardware — Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition.

Built for the open-source smart home platform, Voice PE costs $59 and brings a locally controlled, privacy-focused voice assistant to Home Assistant in a plug-and-play package. Once connected to Home Assistant, you can use voice to control any connected device, with commands such as “Turn on the living room lights,” “Lock all the doors,” “Create a timer for 5 minutes,” and many more.

There have been other solutions before, but they were not so reliable, and of course the Google or Amazon based ones require the cloud access of these companies, and many do not like to have that channel open.

This is a hardware device (that does look pretty good) and seems to be pretty versatile. I think it could be well worth it, as long as it will get ongoing updates and not be replaced with some new model in the short term. Despite that, seeing it works fully offline, you should at least find it won’t ever be bricked or turned into a paper weight.

Oasis Security Research Team Discovers Microsoft Azure MFA Bypass: We Expect More From An Enterprise Provider Though


The image shows a dark, cracked earth in the foreground, suggesting a sense of vulnerability or fragility. In the background, there's a dark blue gradient that fills the space, punctuated by a grid of small plus symbols at the top and bottom, adding a technological or digital feel. A central element is a rectangular box with the word "AuthQuake" in a salmon-pink color, indicating a possible security breach. The box is connected by a dotted line to an arrow, implying movement or an ongoing process. The gradient background subtly transitions from dark to slightly lighter, creating depth.
Oasis Security’s research team uncovered a critical vulnerability in Microsoft’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) implementation, allowing attackers to bypass it and gain unauthorized access to the user’s account, including Outlook emails, OneDrive files, Teams chats, Azure Cloud, and more. Microsoft has more than 400 million paid Office 365 seats, making the consequences of this vulnerability far-reaching.

The bypass was simple: it took around an hour to execute, required no user interaction, and did not generate any notification or provide the account holder with any indication of trouble.

The news surfaced now in the last week, so Microsoft has addressed the issue already. For me, though, the real news is that a global enterprise level IT company should not have had such basic guardrails missing. It appears really that Microsoft had knowingly relaxed some measures around its 2FA to allow for convenience. But surely a lack of attack rate limiting is just unforgivable. One of the basics I always employ on my servers and blog, is attack rate limiting with lengthy blocks in place. If anyone has to guess a password or 2FA more than 3 times, there is something wrong.

Microsoft has had so many security fumbles over time that it is quite amazing that their monopoly in the workplace goes unchallenged. It seems Microsoft has very little care about their customers, as long as the money is rolling in, and if that eases, they just change the licensing parameters a bit. The recent Microsoft Recall feature was just another example of completely not appreciating their customers’ privacy, and that was also only addressed after a major outcry.

Microsoft probably has too much inertia, but actually there are some pretty good alternatives around if one takes a little trouble to rise out of the deep rut. The combination of pretty admin tools, AI, and cloud services has unfortunately made many admins way too lazy today. I think the quality of our admins on the edge, is a lot weaker than it used to be two decades back. All this usually means an even greater reliance on Microsoft where it is used in a corporate environment.

Security is about keeping it simple, and having a reasonable depth of knowledge about what is being managed.

¡Hola! Nos quitamos el abrigo y nos ponemos cómodos en este rinconcito.
Somos un blog sobre carnaval de Cádiz que lleva en línea desde 2006. Nuestro objetivo es difundir la fiesta dándole todo al protagonismo a las coplas. Tenemos recopiladas más de dos mil letras con sus vídeos y muchísimas horas de diferentes pódcast que grabamos desde 2007.
Sabemos (porque @aperalesf es un jartible mastodóntico) que aún no hay mucha presencia canravalera en el fediverso, pero hay que tomar decisiones.
Esta cuenta se dedicará principalmente a redifundir de manera automática los contenidos que publiquemos en el blog, algo que en el páharo dejó de tener sentido hace años.
Eso no quita que de vez en cuando nos dejaremos caer para demostrar que somos personas. ¡Encantados de empezar esta nueva aventurilla!

Thanks to Whiskey, You Will Be Gaming on Your Mac More Than Ever


The image shows a dimly lit bar scene, with shelves of liquor bottles blurred in the background. In the foreground, a bottle of whisky, a glass of amber liquid, and a laptop displaying a pixelated video game are arranged on a wooden surface. The laptop's screen showcases a scene seemingly from a retro-style role-playing game, vibrant colours adding a touch of fantasy to the otherwise mature environment. The bar's soft lighting creates a warm, inviting ambiance, contrasting with the focus on the digital world displayed on the screen.
Whiskey is a free app that you can download right now, and use to play Windows games on your Mac. It brings together the WINE compatibility layer as well as Apple’s own Game Porting Kit, while removing all the nerdy setup and hassle involved with both.

So it seems that Whiskey is stronger than WINE!

It seems to be a bit like the Bottles app on Linux. In my own case, Steam on Linux is playing most games that I want to play, but if you want to play games that are not on Steam, then I suppose Whiskey and similar apps would be the way to go.
