Minimal #NixOS VM base config, for when I want to quickly spin up something disposable to reproduce a problem.

After writing something similar two or three times, I figured it was time to do the job properly and commit it somewhere I'd find it next time I go looking.

It is ridiculous to me to see attacks whose payload is just... openclaw. Like, that to @mcc's point in LB, what the boosters consider to be "tools" are so inherently malicious that *attackers* consider them to be malware.

Hi from Rhode Island!

Artist, gardener, and quiet observer of the small world in my backyard.

You’ll usually find me near the feeders or in the garden watching the neighborhood wildlife. Chickadees supervise, the crows recognize me, and in summer
the bees take over the flowers.

I grow vegetables, paint some of the birds I see, and share the little moments happening right outside my door.

Nice to meet you. 🌿🐦🐝

So, I've been seeing news about all of the age verification laws, and I see a LOT of scared people.

Here's the way I see it, and I'd like to honestly get people's opinion, I think they're dumb, HOWEVER, I think the laws give ud a HUGE opportunity. YOU can run your own platform and you can verify your own age. Same with your family, same with your community. This gives us power.

Are people just going to hand over their IDs to Facebook? Probably, but it won't be me. And there will be massive fraud and issues and this will force legal degradation of centralized platforms.

Thoughts?

国立博物館、美術館の中期目標に関する続報。内部資料を使っているので、関係者からのリークがあったか。財務省との生々しいやり取りが紹介されている。
それにしても独立行政法人の「独立」とは…。

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber My mantra these days. The first thing I say when I wake up, and the last thing before I go to sleep

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"

The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc

Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!

A country is being actively bombed to smithereens and the best they can come up with is the people are "tired"?

AI shows up in the world in some pretty negative ways, especially around misinformation, slop, and spam, and dealing with those issues in a social network are increasingly a focus of my time. I don't have a hard time understanding why a lot of people are suspicious of it as a result.

“your ai slop bores me” is incredible. Love it as an art piece and entertainment already.

Messing about in Diesel for a Rust project again. dsync makes it a lot easier to work with, but I wish it could have validated the cargo.toml file for all the features and libraries it needed for the generated files. Would have saved me 20 minutes.

You may look at a problem and think "Aha! The solution is to run my own email server." Now you have two problems, Google is marking all of your email as spam, an unknown number of threat actors using your server to spread malware because you forgot to patch something, and a small pile of subpoenas.

저도 이렇게 어렵게 생각해봤는데, 반대측 주장이 구체적이지 않다는 점에서 그 정도 논의는 아닐 것 같습니다... 예를 들어 "1인칭 슈터로서 둠의 위치는 과대평가되었다. 다른 계보로 던젼 크롤링을 강조한 울티마 언더월드나 시스템 쇼크(-메트로이드 프라임)가 있고, 팀원과의 협동을 강조한 스페이스 헐크(-레인보우 식스-SWAT)가 있다." 같은 주장이면 <과대평가>란 말이 갖는 무게가 더 가벼워지죠. 하지만 정말 그런 거였으면 거기에 대한 구체적인 반박이 있었을 것 같습니다.
