People keep saying variants of "One this is for sure, GenAI is here to stay" and those of us with short term memories will say they said same thing about NFTs. But I, as an Elder Millennial, would like to invoke the old texts and remind you they said the same things about Java Web Applets […]

@dlakelan while there would be a lot of “glue” needed to make it happen , i wonder if the passkeys mechanism in browsers could provide a robust client-side key storage mechanism.
(Some of the glue would need to include pairing different browsers/devices to your account, possibly like the Signal […]
This morning while writing out my mess of feelings ranging in scale from personal to national to global, this is how I concluded:

This morning was rough. This week was too.
gods, I needed this #Artemis2 launch. It's been a shitty week personally, but watching a successful launch (and such a momentous one at that) is heartening.

New trauma unlocked: killing a mouse with my hands (and a plastic container) while it stares at me and squeaks.
Whoa, I just came across pyenv[.]net and it looks like an LLM-generated SEO-stealing site that purports to have downloadable copies of pyenv.
Has anyone else seen this?

An Instagram ad for Flock Safety that says “Protect Your Congregation With Confidence” above a photo of a church spire.
Gross.
@skinnylatte ooh, neat! I like the new site design.
@stefan I read about the Atkinson Hyperlegible font family and am planning out an update to my site design that will use the font. While doing so, I wondered what font you were using on your stefanbohacek.com because it's really clean and nice looking.
One "inspect element" later, I saw it's […]
Photo of completed mini rack showing two rows of 2U Raspberry Pi racks, each with 4 Raspberry Pis, a 1U POE switch, and a 1U brush strip with a USB-C cable emerging from within.
Got around to documenting my #MiniRack build. I've had it running smoothly for a couple months and it's been really useful as a home lab Kubernetes cluster.

@stefan "fediverse" is also a searchable term. "Atmosphere" is very overloaded. (unit of measure, description of an environment, etc.)
[meta on newspeak; uspol]
I really hate the euphemistic term "warfighter" and the so-called "Department of War"
The US is not at war. War is a specific term with specific meanings for a specific period of time.
Nice. *Subtle.*
