It has been a little over a year since my mother passed away. She had 15 seconds of fame some years ago when I wrote about her breaking into IT in the 1960s. Today, I celebrate the memory of her being woke before that was a word.

When she discovered that my sister and I were learning history in school that didn't have any people of colour in it, she started her own school to teach children Africa, slavery, the Underground Railroad and everything else beige, brown, or black.

Rest in power, mom.

歐盟媒體10月下旬有類似消息,兩篇報導都說這名記者曾在布魯塞爾替傳媒工作,似乎是在說同一個人

TRUMP TO KILL MILLIONS!

More than 22 million people, many of them children, could die preventable deaths by 2030 due to aid cuts by the Trump regime, new research said Monday.

The findings are an update of a study earlier this year that said Trump’s sweeping reductions in assistance, including the dismantling the US Agency for International Development (USAID), could lead to 14 million additional deaths

Ever wonder why the "vi" editor uses H, J, K, and L keys for cursor navigation, and why Unix shells traditionally use "~" as an alias for the home directory?

The ADM-3A terminal was a very popular and inexpensive Unix terminal in the 1970s. Notice where the arrow keys are, and where the "~" key is? It influenced a lot!

A close-up picture of an ADM 3a terminal keyboard. The left arrow label is above the "H" key, the down arrow label is above the "J" key, the up arrow label is above the "K" key, and the right arrow label is above the "L" key. In the top right, a single key is labeled with a circumflex, a tilde, and the word "HOME".

One of these days, this job'll end.

and I'm going to be asked "So, what did you do at Proofpoint". And have a 'nam-style flashback of all the IoT shit I saw in a given day and be like "Nothing. I did nothing."

If Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene keep this up, we will suffer a national popcorn shortage. The latest MAGA feud is shaking up the movement again, just ahead of the House vote to release the Epstein files. Too bad, so sad. My write-up is in the replies.

🗳️ Last Thursday, the European Parliament approved the EU–Singapore Digital Trade Agreement, rejecting a motion to refer it to the Court of Justice for a legality check.

Under the banner of “free trade,” this binding deal prioritises business over privacy, accountability, and democratic control of digital systems.
What’s at stake isn’t just one agreement with Singapore: embedding weak safeguards in trade law now could lock in lower standards for years to come.

미스키 클라이언트 중에 여러 인스턴스 계정을 같이 굴릴 수 있는거 없나
그냥 계정 다중 등록해서 바꿔쓰는거 말구요
탐라를 병합한다던지.. 노트 쓸때 계정 전환이 쉽다던지...
이런 물건이 있으면 다계정을 굴릴수 있을거같은데

While 15k might sound a lot, consider that loading the Mastodon frontend on my old instance is ~300 requests on load alone.

Loading my old profile is ~280 requests.

When you factor in that a visit usually ends up doing 4-5 requests, we're down to ~3-3.7k visits in the past 24 hours, and across a dozen or so hosts, that's not very much. Maybe a few hundred visits / host. That used to be about my normal visitor count in the mid-2010s.

Now, I am using a complicated defense script. But iocaine 3.0's built-in script would have stopped ~38 million of those, and a firewall level block of the Huawei & Alibaba ASNs would have blocked another 11m.

That's 49 million requests stopped out of 50.96 million, or 96.67% of all requests. That's a very good rate for something as trivial as this pseudo-code:

  • If requester's ASN is Huawei or Alibaba: block
  • If user agent is in ai.robots.txt: block
  • If user agent has Firefox/ or Chrome/, and does not have a sec-fetch-mode header: block

Two ifs in a trenchcoat and a firewall rule, and your bot troubles are gone.

진짜 뜬금포 tmi지만 저는 왠만한 이어폰, 헤드폰 따위의 음향기기를 볼륨 1로 듣습니다
그래서 볼륨을 더 올려야 소리가 나온다던지
음량 조절을 세밀하게 하기 어려운 몇몇 블투이어폰은 슬픔
