Cloudflare says about the outage "root cause was disabling some logging to help mitigate this week’s React CVE"

Putting aside my positive preconceptions, I have to admit that #pycharm has also been affected by #enshittification. I tried to ignore the fact that the AI constantly nags me to pay for it. But what really shocks me is that I have to debug more and more often with the `breakpoint()` function […]

@adam @shom I've created a snippet from it, so it can be shared and reused more easily. 📄 https://framagit.org/gridranger/gridranger.frama.io/-/snippets/7593 #staticsite #blog #blogging #indieweb #retroeffect #snowfall #winter #websnow2025

Last winter, I read an article about how creatively snowfall decorations were used on static websites, and that this tradition has almost completely disappeared since the rise of Web 2.0. I decided that when I'll build my own static blog, it will […] [Original post on mementomori.social]

Good job, #github, keep it up! Help the users find the way out.

Alguna persona que me pueda decir cómo fue su experiencia utilizando Ubuntu Touch?. Estoy considerando fuertemente usarlo como mi Daily Driver, pero necesito alguna opinión externa antes de saltar a la piscina. Es realmente usable en el día a día? #ubuntu #ubuntutouch #linux #linuxphone #foss […]

Are you planning any Black Friday discounts? 🙂 @Fairphone @murena

The feeling when someone with VS Code not configured for Python writes a statement into your code and pushes back the file reformatted according to JS conventions... 😭 #vscode #python #javascript

JetBrains vs custom font issue I usally use a retro font called "MxPlusIBMVGA9x16". Childhood nostalgy. I can use it anywhere but in JetBrains terminals. It is not listed as monospace font in the reworked terminal's menu. It is listed as monospace editor font though. 🤷 I dissected the font […]

I work with #foss IPR and licence check sometimes. Now, that #blackduck utilizes #ai extensively for assessing the open-source dependencies, the reliability of its reports dropped to be zero. It hallucinates random Java, Python, RPM and other stuff as being your #go code's dependencies. 🤪 Also […]

🎉 It's my #birthday and I've got a new domain name as a gift from my wife. 💕 So, from now on, my blog can be found at https://blog.gridranger.dev Old links still work and will direct you to the same page. I'm really happy. I helped others managing their domains from time to time, but I've […]

The original #Tron movie touched a bunch of real issues alongside its fictional themes. IPR theft from inadequately protected workstations, loss of control over AI, and its plans for world domination. Tron: Legacy completely ignored all realistic issues […] [Original post on mementomori.social]

GenAI is a great help to me when choosing a #browser. Once a company integrates one into its product, I no longer consider it a viable alternative.

I take part in #fedidonutfriday for the first time with this oddly shaped raspberry jam filled donut. It has been a long week full of work and other activities and there is still a lot to do before the next week begins. 👨‍💻

Just as brooms can be used for sweeping, LLMs can be used for producing text. But, like brooms will never fly, LLMs will never be thinking machines, search engines, reasoning aids or reliable content creators. Marketing them as such is the same as selling brooms and claiming that people can […]

We’re going to Budapest in February, for a weekend. I decided, in my infinite wisdom, to learn Hungarian! Just so that I could recognise words. I’m doing this on Duolingo and am three weeks in. My vocab is growing, but it’s such a hard language to learn. #duolingo

Even scams become dumber and dumber thanks to genAI slop. Today I was notified about winning an "empowerment grant" from IMF. Do I look like a country? 🤔 #scam #aislop #imf #phishing #phishingscam

After adding real function to the main menu or Start menu on my blog a couple of days ago, I continued updateing the design yesterday evening. I added status bars for the windows to improve nostalgic aesthetics and functionality at the same time. Fun fact: the menu was implemented without JS […]

Do you keep a gaming backlog too? How and where do you store it? I decided to have my own to control my own data! Here is my post about it: 🌐 https://gridranger.frama.io/gaming-backlog And the backlog itself: 💽 https://gridranger.frama.io/backlog #gaming #backlog #statistics #python #pelican […]

What options do I have for phones with good cameras that do not throw money down a fascist mega company's throat but still have good support for open ROMs and banking apps? I'm afraid the answer is none, but happy to hear any suggestions. #Android #grapheneos #lineageos #fairphone

It took me a bit to get all the numbers crunched, but finally, here are the participants and awards from #blaugust2025. #nerdgirlthoughts http://nerdgirlthoughts.game.blog/2025/09/07/blaugust-2025-in-review/

Morning Folks. This morning, I give massive thanks to @Krikket and the rest of the mentors for making sure that #blaugust2025 was a wildly successful event, and big props to all of the Blaugustans who participated. I also talk a bit about #destinyrising and #pathofexile2 and my Bigfoot video […]

I've replaced my Linux Mint with KDE Neon. Worst installation experience since Windows Vista. 😅 It is a lifesaver that I can jump back to the comand line as no KDE apps work including Konsole. A missing libpulse shared library causes the problem, but reinstalling pulseaudio didn't fix it. I […]

I'm trying to falmiliarize myself with the requirements of the #indieweb . I added a h-card to my blog. It doesn't fit to my design, so it is hidden. On the other hand, I wonder what #secondpersonbirds could be. Is it like trying out the new quote feature of #mastodon? Or is it simply a fun way […]

Here's a brief summary of my Blaugust activity. I didn't post anything last week, but I'm still satisfied with my overall results. 🌐 https://gridranger.frama.io/blaugust-summary #blogging #blaugust #blaugust2025 #summary #monthlysummary

Thinking about one of my last pre-Smartphone mobile phones. The #Nokia 6288. It was the pinnacle of devices for SMS as texting really took off. In candybar mode (folded up), you did T9. But it opened to a full QWERTY keyboard. The phone also did pre-3G internet […] [Original post on dusty.ninja]

I decided to stop spending money on Steam, but this title was on 100% sale. It has no story, but it is fun. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3506800/Walking_Survival/ #steam #freegame #rpg #action #2d #gaming

I recommend this blog post everyone as it explains in plain English how #ai LLMs actually work, and why they are fundamentally not fit for purpose: https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/vivaldi-wont-allow-a-machine-to-lie-to-you/ Yes they can be useful, but the takeaway is that their flaws are […]

What I didn't expect today, that I could browse fediverse among the clouds. But it seems the #moshidon client is working fine through Finnair's complementary messaging package. I can even read the posts from linked blogs. 🤩🐘 #flying

I revived a post from one of my old blogs that I wrote 10 years ago. To do this I also created an account on the PeerTube instance Hardlimit. It's about jousting in video games. 🌐 https://gridranger.frama.io/jousting-in-video-games #mountedcombat #gaming #retrogaming #lego #legoisland2 […]

Sad news. #ente , the cool and friendly project that helped many us so far to break free from the tech giatns' grasp, is now officially backed by GitHub (Microsoft). The empire struck back. Sounds like it's time to replace Ente products with something else before Copilot's tiny tentacles gain […]
