"somehow" in an error usually means "[i] thought this was unreachable"

password requirements are stupid. if the user's password gets rejected a few times, they will most likely stop trying to make good passwords and just spam "A!a1A!a1" into the field. and if they did not plan on making a good password, they'll do this anyway

31a's network is becoming progressively more cursed

connecting to matrix from iOS now involves 3 hops back and forth between the same 2 machines, of which one is through yggdrasil

that is way too close

PSA: always take more backups than necessary

the disk appears to have died several hours after being used as the single point of failure

it does

it seems that at the very least data loss has been avoided. it is now time to check whether it will it boot first-try

31a has realised that it can play nethack on the archiso while waiting for long disk operations

it should probably use this atproto thing more

sam altman on twitter: i expect ai to be capable of superhuman persuasion well before it is superhuman at general intelligence, which may lead to some very strange outcomes

I think about this one a lot.

apparently it dropped its _atproto TXT record by accident

it is about to reinstall its primary system with a different FS (as long as the backup ever finishes). hopefully nothing explodes.

it's again the time of year when every prior day having slight net energy consumption finally causes it to hit zero

100% ai generated fake factory tour videos are a fascinating youtube subgenre

time to get rid of the semi-cursed setup of its site's www. being on a web host while the root domain is on a real VPS

even worse is something which leaves an open challenge or injects project ideas

( assuming matrix actually behaves correctly, it is still possible to redirect this to a nonexistent domain with an SRV record )

more generally, one should never host multiple services on the same domain.
this is exactly what the SRV record was created for

this one does not need a cloud server, but this has good pricing, so if this is mis-usable to run some low-load junk, it might move said junk here

please use or self-host any other git service. the fragmentation that creates has downsides, but it is not controlled by an AI engineering team

it would be nice if this worked

what is netbird even spending that power on

"why are all trans girls subs haha it's for [bullshit reason] amirite" no you asshole it's because every fucking newly out trans girl ever is a deeply repressed person who's 99% unrealised as a being and yearning for ego death, and sexual submission feels accessible to them

don't forget to vibe security audit your vibe code

this incorrectly implies that web extension dev is not annoying

this was harder than expected.
rule #2 of configuring computer systems: the amount of effort required to defeat the GPUs grows much faster than linearly with the number of GPUs

minor TODO: review the complete list of TLDs

the intent to kill X11 is strong enough to seem malicious. this is enough reason for 31a05b to switch from Wayland to X

sorry for adding to the list of mostly useless political posts on this platform, but this thought has appeared too often to not react to it.
