gateway co-op remained unaffected by the aws outage

is anyone following any archiving projects of journalists and social media from gaza? like of Saleh al-Jafarawi <3

gave a guest lecture for @sfpc.study and one of my revolutionaries was in the audience 🥲 what a well-rounded stepper & thank you @notplants.bsky.social for the opportunity to share!

was in a music rut and tired of my music, and funny that simply asking a friend for music relieved it also cooking a recipe from a friend ask a friend is such a beautifully simple practice for shaking things up

computer, uncrash program

if you can say “tailscale funnel and cloudflare tunnel” five times fast, without thinking of the edward snowden “ssl added and removed here!” meme, then you don’t need gateway co-op gateway.commoninternet.net

The ideal the solution is infallible mods, trained from birth to always make the correct decision. The only advantage of decentralization is that it's easier to implement than that.

TL; DR In the next 5 business days you should be able to go to Link's page on blacksky.community and see his posts and he'll be able to post but people using the bsky mobile apps won't see it. After that we'll get Blacksky-only posts up. After that we can talk about purging bsky mod tools fin/11

anyone have a tui they like that closely mirrors the interface of simplenote?

would love to see a data visualization of the first time I heard each different word over my lifetime / the frequency with which that word appeared (metaphysically recorded, not via actual data)

funny how caffeine (or anything effecting mood) causes me to move around the kitchen in slightly different patterns

an obsession with superficial notions of efficiency is arguably one of the root problems in our society, but that aside there is a part of me that enjoys funny and quirky/efficient double uses of space and time (clothes drawer is base of standing desk, going running while the rice cooker is going)

wish signal added a feature where you could set a disappearing time for a particular message after sending it, feel like i would prefer that ux for most use cases

successfully renewing a tls certificate on a home server via tls-passthrough feels magic and enjoyable to me each time, even though its now worked reliably tens of times in a row over months

started using standing desk frequently on one leg in tree pose (not as an exercise, just feels nice)

phoneless meetings are a great and accessible security practice as well as a nice way to hang out anyway

this morning dreaming of a brutalist coffee shop to work at, big slabs of concrete to work at, nothing is cute, there is no music

i do not like low trust society and would prefer a high trust society. this appears to require making society trustworthy

annoyed that atproto depends on dns, and dns is such a clear vector of censorship that seems likely to continue to be used more frequently altho i guess browsers etc with alternative dns resolvers, or even dns-over-tor, is a pretty straightforward workaround, but i think not currently mainstream

i'm interested in this bsky.app/profile/jack...

working at my coworking space (the libary), taking calls in the call room (outside on the sidewalk)

there are so many modalities of medicine that it seems like one could spend a lifetime trying different things to treat a mysterious condition, which is both encouraging, discouraging, poignant and funny

dude, holy shit

currently working on setting up a local-only local network PDS for an experiment and curious if anyone has any tips? for example, after the PDS is running, are there any local clients you can configure to read directly from the PDS? thanks for any leads

Invisible ink, key cryptography, hosting, probing state surveillance mechanisms, and other acts of care... read the Advanced Secret Keepers dispatch written by Seldom Chen, where she reflects on privacy and intimacy in the context of her class: sfpc.study/blog/advance...

Hypha members are working alongside @iame.li‬ and ‪@iroh.computer on Streamplace. More here on what we're building and how it'll work buff.ly/xqpYeZ8

rewarding my microwave by letting it heat up a fork as a treat

a couple months ago, I wrote a guide on "How To Make Firefox More Efficient On An Old Computer Using AutoTabDiscard" and added it to the permacomputing wiki the guide is here: http://permacomputin...

yesterday knee gave out unexpectedly while on a train with bike and camping equipment, and could no longer walk. without generalizing, in this case trying to figure out to ask for help to get off the train and get home had an interesting puzzle-like quality

while it is annoying when the servers are not working, when they are working smoothly at some point, it is gratifying (one explanation of the problem of theodicy)

entire universe is self aware and people are hung up on if computers can think

after some logistical difficulties last week, this morning I'm on a train, with my bicycle, connected to the internet, at 9:36 am, on the way to visit a friend, and for a moment logistics are going surprisingly well

when people say llm usually its a typo and they mean lm (aka lichen-markdown) when people say gemini, they usually mean the protocol, not the other thing

mostly i imagine being a queen/king would be a position i would turn down on ethical grounds, but i would sort of like if there was a live band that followed me around on some days playing appopriate music based on transitions and what was happening and as an alarm clock

another reason self-hosting sucks compared to community-hosting, is if there is some bug, you need to find it and fix it (as opposed to the group becoming aware and responding) (something something update broke ipv6 silently broke e-mail sending via smtp relay... not how I wanted to find out)

i hate to say it, but i kind of want a yunohost-like-interface, for distributed deployments, for non-technical-folks to manage a fleet of servers, backups between them, migrating apps between servers. possibly a yunohost-simple graphical interface, ansible roles in the backend

was relaxing to realize im only 3 years into the pitta period of life (30-60)

the meaning of the word vibes is useful, but the vibes of the word vibes are bad. there are other better words, imo

tfw the computer is frustrating (one of the sides of its personality)

say what you will about rainbow gatherings but interesting they have been going for fifty years with that form

great private and usable open source software exists right now. not as nice the latest corporate stuff, but still good. definitely better than the corporate stuff that existed 5-10 years ago. 1/3

Meanwhile, and this is truly beyond belief, the solution to famine in Gaza is RIGHT THERE. Which is what makes this starvation a deliberate and genocidal act. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

This result is crazy. You finetune a teacher model to love owls. Then you have the teacher model generate a string of numbers, and finetune the student model on those numbers. The student model will then also love owls. alignment.anthropic.com/2025/sublimi...
