I recently posted about archive.today (also archive.is, archive.ph, archive.fo, archive.li, archive.md, and archive.vn) using its archive links to launch a ddos attack against a blogger they accused of doxing them: mathstodon.xyz/@11011110/11602

That attack triggered (at least, the English part) to discuss banning archive.today links, and the ensuing discussion turned up evidence that (as part of the same dispute with the same blogger) archive.today had also tampered with its archived content to falsify certain names in old archived links: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi

This led to a quick close of the discussion and a consensus to remove all archive.today links from Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi
For the same reasons I have removed all archive.today links from my blog, where I had been occasionally using them as a convenient way to access paywalled content. I suggest that others remove their links as well, lest you unwittingly become part of additional ddos attacks and falsification.

std::cmp::max fails.

The error message: "the trait bound `f32: Ord` is not satisfied"

*belabored sigh* sometimes the most frustrating thing about Rust is that it does things correctly

아니 근데 모-든 나라에 관세 10% 추가 하면 모든 나라의 수출 경쟁력에 문제 없는거 아닌가요(..) 미국 내수로 해결할 수 있는게 그리 많지가 않을텐데. 배도 램도 못 만드는게... (폭언)

Today's #calligraphy practice: this now-classic copypasta from @lynnesbianLynnesbian :bune_ylw: (CC4.0-BY-NC-SA)

I think this nib probably needs replacing, it keeps chewing up the paper and as you can see the fibres occasionally caught in the nib drag the ink on certain strokes like the tails of "h", "k", and "a". It is a Hunt 22, on the stiffer side, not capable of the dramatic changes in line width you get with a 101 or my beloved Leonardt Principal, but good for smaller writing.

Written in English round hand on a graph paper pad: 
Friday, February 20, 2026 Hunt #22 nib, India ink

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

I have another thing you can do to help people in Minneapolis!

These kids are raising funds to go to Space Camp. It’s a beautiful structure: families pay what they can, then •all• the families fundraise the remaining total for •all• the kids together. Either everyone goes or no one goes.

The ICE invasion really knocked the fundraising on its heels this year: everyone diverted, one major fundraising event cancelled. It’s looking a little dire; maybe no one goes this year. They could use some help.

@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubleshannah aubry explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.
