Encrypted Media Extensions

Now that Season 3 of Rick and Morty has been completely aired, it’s time to start watching. I’m not a big fan of waiting a week between episodes, especially when the episodes are only 20 minutes long.

As of last night, all but the final episode of the season was available on Netflix and Ana has a subscription for this. This is the first time I’ve seen Netflix being used, so I didn’t know that the W3C Recommendedation “Encrypted Media Extensions” that upset the EFF enough for them to resign from the W3C has actually been in use by Netflix since April 2013 (growing platform support over time, not supporting all platforms immediately).

Hugo Syntax Highlighting

I’ve been tidying up my Hugo theme in an effort to make it reusable by others. In doing so, I’ve learnt about a lot of Hugo features that I didn’t know existed, like shortcodes. I remembered this concept from long ago in Wordpress and I had even written a plugin that took advantage of them.

I’ve been manually writing out HTML for figures, instead of using the figure shortcode. I haven’t started to fix these up yet, but I have made some changes for syntax highlighting.

Facebook Lies

In the past, I had a Facebook account. Long ago I “deleted” this account through the procedure outlined on their help pages. In theory, 14 days after I used this process my account would be irrevocably gone. This was all lies.

My account was not deleted and yesterday I received an email:

It took me a moment to figure it out, but what had happened here is someone had logged into my Facebook account using my email address and password. Facebook simply reactivated the account, which had not had its data deleted, as if I had logged in.
