YubiKey法で睡眠を再確認（YubiKeyをUSBポートに挿入してLEDが点滅しない）
Nie miałbym nic przeciwko, gdyby z Mastodona zniknęły "gwiazdki". Gdyby stał się mniej "socialmediowy" w wymiarze widocznego nabierania zasięgu.
Wiadomo, jak to wpływa na pracę mózgu - polubienia czy udostępnienia to jednak dopaminowe zastrzyki.
A gdyby tak wypruć Mastodona zostawiając wyłącznie opcję komentarzy i udostępnień, ale bez liczników? To mogłoby skłonić nas do częstszego odpisywania na posty, bo dzisiaj regularnie chwytamy się leniwego kliknięcia gwiazdki wyrażając aprobatę.
Tak sobie myślę, że brak tego przycisku jeszcze bardziej podbiłoby interakcje.

If you want your Mastodon account to be private, you need to do two things:
1. Set your default posting visibility to "followers-only", more info on this at https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon
2. Switch on requiring approval for followers, so that no one can follow you without permission. More about this at https://fedi.tips/restricting-who-can-follow-you-in-mastodon
This doesn't apply retrospectively, any public posts you've already made will remain public. This just sets the default visibility for new posts.

"At the heart of fascism and authoritarianism and capitalism itself is an obsession with hurting children.
We tell ourselves an incredibly comforting story in the United States of America. Children are our future. Our greatest resource. You’ll hear politicians from both sides of the aisle say as much."

New blog post: PF Firewall on FreeBSD - A Practical Guide
After years of running PF across multiple FreeBSD servers, I've written up the patterns that work: macros, tables, brute-force protection, NAT for jails, and dual-stack filtering.
Covers everything from basic concepts to production configs, plus a sidebar on authpf for bastion hosts.
If you're running FreeBSD and want a firewall that's elegant, powerful, and actually understandable, PF is worth your time.

New blog post: Running your own Autonomous System on FreeBSD.
Got an AS number and IPv6 /48 via RIPE, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, two upstreams, and built GRE/GIF tunnels ti bring my own globally routable addresses to servers at different providers.
The interesting part: dual-FIB policy routing lets FreeBSD jails speak from both provider and BGP addresses simultaneously.

Stricter copyright laws might seem tough on big tech, but they just become new tools to enforce monopolies and bully artists. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/copyright-kills-competition
To install the doorknob on a storm door, it is important to keep an eye on a tiny spring that goes in the mechanism.
Can you guess which part went missing right as I thought door installation was almost finished?

Okay enough grumbling about train passes. TOKYO GAME DUNGEON!! It was a ton of fun! Lots of people came to play Hamayumishi! We got lots of wonderful feedback and met some cool folks!!
Then we met up with 
@wrenchClaus and had really good Chinese food (and I forgot to get pics D'OH you will just have to trust it was incredible) and had a wonderful time!! (Caranha I am sorry I was rambling and incoherent, I was very tired!! 😭)
Anyway I am giving up on JR East for tonight, I am going to sleep!! GN!!
YOU TOO can play #Hamayumishi right now!! The demo on itch is longer than on Steam (tho Steam wishlists would help us a ton, thank youuuuuu 🙏)

Facts didn’t build this collective delusion, and facts won’t puncture it.
So yeah, I’m trying to stay diligent about facts where facts matter. I’m trying to stay clear in my own head about what we •know• with high confidence as distinct from what merely seems •likely•.
And I’m also studying — with careful attention, as a serious matter — what popular imagination is doing to the “100% vibes” foundation of Trumpism. Popular imagination. Not the facts. The vibes.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell It didn't matter that Marie Antoinette didn't ever say "Let them eat cake!"*, her general attitude and the feelings were against her by the point she got into the carriage to flee. Or, as somebody else said: "People can forget what you did, but never how you made them feel."
*The quote originally wasn't even attributed to her, and it was not cake, but brioche, which is a kind of bread, but that's historical sentiment for you.
My nomination for today's #SuperbOwl.
The Cosmic Owl is two galaxies that crashed into each other, creating overlapping ring-shaped splashes of stars. It measures 150,000 light years from side to side, or about 10^20 times the size of a Great Grey Owl on Earth.

Reading scholarship on #resistance to #AI — I just want younger people to know, this is different. In my memory, theorists and practitioners didn't feel bound to organize a *resistance* to word processors or gps or email.
Now, maybe we all turned technophobe all of a sudden. But maybe, just maybe, this is not the technological future we should be embracing or even accepting.

if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026.
1. ai is exciting!
2. it's also in its infancy.
3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web.
4. the web is 100% our #1 priority.
5. so we're going to wait.
6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser.
7. we won't include ai until we know why.
8. and then it will be opt-in.
9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser.
sincerely,
the developers of firefox
me being bitter about genai
We have reached a new era of civil engineering; now we can build bridges by simply dumping truckloads of shit into the river until the shit mountains are tall enough that some people and maybe cars can cross the river. Truly, it is a revolutionary technology that democraticizes access to bridges; now everyone can dump a truckload of shit over small rivers here and there and cross the rivers instead of asking an engineer to build the bridge for them. This approach completely removes all the bottlenecks in engineering, too: no need to navigate difficult legal frameworks or ethical concerns. The biggest players on the market are staring to replace their bridges with shit mountains, you'd better be catching up and learning how to use this new groundbreaking technology. Some of you have ethical concerns, but this is beyond of the scope of my post. I also recognise that some might notice fish in the rivers dying, or simply slip on the shit; just you wait, I bet it'll be fixed in ~6 months
re: me being bitter about genai
Look, there are lots of skeptics out there, but the shit mountains are becoming really useful these days. With just a shit mountain or two you could reach places that previously required a ladder or a bridge or a vehicle. The vehicle part is still out of reach, but in the future we can make shit mountains placed in such a way that, when we pour some shit between them, would allow us to reach the destination almost as fast as cars and boats. And it runs on shit, and as you know, shit is virtually free, you can literally go to a number of websites and get the shit for free. You can even get open-sourced shit these days, and pour it locally. Open source shit mountains are not as good as the commercial ones yet, but we're getting there.
Anyway, the bottom line, shit mountains are here to stay. Learn how to live with them.
