I find it disillusioning to see the casual use of "AI" slowly creeping into our hacker circles. Most of the discussions about AI focus on the quality of its output. I think we're not doing a good job communicating its more fundamental dangers.

In this blog post I write about how tools shape who we are and why the resource intensiveness of AI is ingrained in its purpose. About the devaluation of skills, and power cycles.

Let me know what you think.

@IPXFongRafaelito 🦤 Haircut day today. No exciting new Northern NM Spanish for me, but we did have a nice discussion of farolito vs. luminaria, and how my great aunt the (Polish) Catholic nun knew about luminaria, but by way of the Latin not Spanish, and not as “landing lights for baby jeebus,” as I put it, and maybe got a funny cut in the back of my hair by cracking up my barber. ’Tis the season, I guess.

now supports atomic partial updates using the PATCH method: give it a subdirectory and it will update its contents without touching anything else

you can use it to e.g. upload previews of built documentation without having to maintain giant git checkouts with stale files for thousands of pull requests. and it's efficient, too!

see codeberg.org/whitequark/whiteq for an example workflow

whitequark.codeberg.page/
whitequark.codeberg.page/previ

With feature patch: In response to a PATCH request, the server partially updates a site with new content. The URL of the request must be the root URL of the site that is being published.
The request must have a application/x-tar, application/x-tar+gzip, or application/x-tar+zstd body, whose contents is merged with the existing site contents as follows:
A character device entry with major 0 and minor 0 is treated as a "whiteout marker" (following unionfs): it causes any existing file or directory with the same name to be deleted.
A directory entry replaces any existing file or directory with the same name (if any), recursively removing the old contents.
A file or symlink entry replaces any existing file or directory with the same name (if any).
In any case, the parent of an entry must exist and be a directory.
The request must have a Race-Free: yes or Race-Free: no header. Not every backend configuration makes it possible to perform atomic compare-and-swap operations; on backends without atomic CAS support, Race-Free: yes requests will fail, while Race-Free: no requests will provide a best-effort approximation.
If a PATCH request loses a race against another content update request, it may return 409 Conflict. This is true regardless of the Race-Free: header value. Whenever this happens, resubmit the request as-is.
If the site has no contents after the update is applied, performs the same action as DELETE.

Australia says the world will follow social media ban as Meta starts blocking teens

Australia's internet regulator said a teen social media ban would be the first domino to fall in a global push to rein in Big Tech, as Meta's Instagram, Facebook and Threads began locking out hundreds of thousands of accounts ahead of a deadline next week.

이글루스가 살아났다고? 하고 찾아보니까 이글루스ai라는 블로그 사이트로 살아난듯. 근데... 진짜... 블로그 플랫폼이 맞는것 같은데 분명 이용자가 있는것 같은데 사람이 하나도 없는 것 같은 느낌. 그 뭐지? 인간이 아닌데 인간을 흉내내는, 약간의 바디 스내쳐 장르를 보고 온 느낌임. 거대한 백룸을 보고온것 같기도 하고. 사이트가 그런 느낌임;;; 무서움;;;

This is unreal. The 2026 code4lib conference has been cancelled unilaterally by Carnegie Mellon University because the Department of Education raised issues with the diversity scholarships (which have been constant for at least a decade, if not longer):

> An applicant must be a member of a group not well-represented within the code4lib community, including but not limited to: women, people of color, LGBTQ+, ability/disability, non-binary gender identities, etc.

“Don’t let anyone fool you with the so-called two-state solution. That train has already passed.”

Prof. Sami Al-Arian addressed more than 200,000 people in Lahore, Pakistan, in a mass rally for Palestine, denouncing Zionism as a settler-colonial project that has targeted Palestinians for over a century, and argued that accepting the two-state framework effectively legitimizes Israeli rule.

Al-Arian said the reality exposed by the genocide in Gaza proves that “there is no Palestinian problem, there is an Israeli problem,” condemning Western governments as complicit in Israeli crimes. He warned Pakistan against normalization, calling Israel “a threat to national and regional security.”

He concluded by urging the creation of a global popular movement to dismantle the Zionist system, affirming that liberation requires collective action:

“Every person has a role to play. Free Palestine”.

갑자기 이런 소리를 하면서 사실 중국인이 빼간거고 해킹 아니다 이런 소리 하는 인간들이 있던데요. (아 인간 아닌가?) 말 장난인거죠. 개인정보 유출은 해킹이 아닙니까? -_- 해킹 맞고 쿠팡이 잘못한게 맞습니다. 또 하나의 문제가 있는데, 정보보안 인증을 취득해 놓고도 가라로 관리를 하고 있었던게 보이는겁니다. 정보보안에 대한 각종 가이던스나 컴플라이언스를 갖추고 사고 발생 시 처리하는 방법이나 규정을 다 만들도록 한 시스템에 대한 인증을 주는게 ISO인데 그 신뢰를 조져놨으니 알아서 책임져야죠. 뭔 놈의 애국타령입니까.

South Korea's nuclear submarine gamble raises prospect of underwater arms race in Asia

South Korea's pursuit of nuclear-powered submarines is gaining traction following President Donald Trump's endorsement, ending decades of U.S. resistance in a move that could reshape Asia's security landscape and escalate an underwater arms race.

지난달 중순 한강버스가 강바닥에 걸려 좌초돼 경찰과 소방이 출동했을 당시, 구조과정에서 탑승객 수가 ‘오락가락’하는 혼선이 발생했던 것으로 드러났습니다. 운영사인 ㈜한강버스가 초기 신고 단계에서 실제보다 30명 가까이 적게 잘못 보고하면서 비롯됐기 때문인데, 비슷한 사고가 다시 발생할 경우 구조 누락 위험으로 이어질 수 있다는 우려가 나옵니다.
