TIL, Arizona is the 2nd lowest state in charitable giving in the US. This year, I gave time and/or money to several organizations. But maybe I didn't Google "Charitable Donations" enough. [see methodology]

"Due to the prolonged government shutdown, the FAA has directed all airlines, including American, to reduce flight schedules at certain airports starting Friday, Nov. 7."

Cool. No one travels in November, right? 🙃

The latest releases of @cilium.io and cert-manager are both 1.18.2. I briefly thought I had just installed the wrong version of one of them, but it truly is just a weird coincidence.

...or is it?

FWIW, I really enjoy Kube Cuddle. I'm sure it's a lot of work to put it together, but I hope it comes back. 🤞

Q: On purpose?

The FIPS 140-3 Go Cryptographic Module - The Go Programming Language Go now has a built-in, native FIPS 140-3 compliant mode.

@filippo.abyssdomain.expert Is the Go Cryptographic Module validated? The Go Blog (go.dev/blog/fips140) says "validated," but it doesn't appear in the NIST list of validated modules (csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry...).

I don't understand how saying "backslash" in URLs became a mainstream mix-up. The person saying it almost always just means "slash" or "forward slash" if you're being verbose. But I hear people say "backslash" all the time. Just heard it in an ad on a podcast.
