Well there it is. I've finally made it. I've reached the top.

published a lil JavaScript package called is-mdm, inspired by @lgug2z.com's blog post that was at the top of lobste.rs yesterday and wrote a post about it: bnb.im/posts/is-mdm/ https://bnb.im/posts/is-mdm/

A quick post about is-mdm, a package I wrote to detect MDM enrollment that was inspired by a Rust implementation found on Lobste.rs from LGUG2Z.

Cut my hair from feminine short to an enby baddie short again 🥰 Ah the gender euphoria is real

If you dual-license your software in such a way that it requires a paid license for commercial use, here are two code blobs for you. macOS pub fn mdm_enrollment() -> eyre::Result<(bool, Option<String>)> { let mut command = Command::new("/usr/bin/profiles"); command.args(["status", "-type", "enrollment"]); let stdout = command.output()?.stdout; let output = std::str::from_utf8(&stdout)?; if output.contains("MDM enrollment: No") { return Ok((false, None)); } let mut server = None; for line in output.lines() { if line.starts_with("MDM server") { server = Some(line.trim_start_matches("MDM server: ").to_string()) } } Ok((true, server)) } Windows pub fn mdm_enrollment() -> eyre::Result<(bool, Option<String>)> { let mut command = Command::new("dsregcmd"); command.args(["/status"]); let stdout = command.output()?.stdout; let output = std::str::from_utf8(&stdout)?; if !output.contains("MdmUrl") { return Ok((false, None)); } let mut server = None; for line in output.lines() { if line.contains("MdmUrl") { let line = line.trim().to_string(); server = Some(line.trim_start_matches("MdmUrl : ").to_string()) } } Ok((true, server)) } Looking at mobile device management (MDM) enrollment is not a silver bullet for identifying corporate devices running your software, but it is a good start.

This is why I have a website. It’s also why everything I’ve ever written has appeared on my website with *very* few exceptions Having a single domain name that’s YOU is invaluable. My website gets lots of compliments on its branding and appearance. My slides borrow that appearance, too It matters! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

“buried the lede” bro you poured cement over it

I maintain that Crazy in Love by Eden Project is one of the best songs to listen to while you’re Going Through It and can be really present with music

It feels really great to reject someone who offers to pay you money for something you don't want to do a HUGE privilege

IMO all parsers should accept trailing commas. Makes Codegen easier for one, and is more consistent/less annoying to edit/move around parts of lists.

The conversations we have 😅 @kimmy.zip: The clitoris painting on the fridge kitchen looks like a pokémon with boobs Me: It's just like that @kimmy.zip: What does it evolve into? Me: An Orgasm

Who took my spoons!? Give em back! I’ve been eepy all weekend 😪

@tangled.org have you seen git-bug? (https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug) it’d be pretty damned nifty if tangled’s issues were stored & accessible in a git-bug compatible way, for even more decentralisation in the most decentralised app for decentralised VCS!

Software engineering is a team sport. As you advance, you spend less time coding and more time communicating complex ideas in human language; the most expressive tool we have. Writing externalizes your thinking and allows others to give feedback, making everyone more effective. Your technical skills are your floor, writing ability is your ceiling. 2/

Weird to think that everyone who works at GitHub, really just works in Microsoft’s AI department now.

We’re on strike. The Berliner (@exberliner.bsky.social)'s decision to run ads for the Nova Festival Exhibition was made against explicit objections from staff and regular freelancers. The ads follow months of pressure to suppress or soften coverage of the genocide in Gaza and its impact in Berlin.

I’m starting to think not that many people are as interested in software dependencies as I am 😅

Men claim women talk too much, but boy if you get that man on a panel, he will over talk every woman present in the room.
