Curious to see the Max Planck Fediverse buzzing? Here's a Fediwall https://s.academiccloud.de/3iVQJA Fediwall app, primarily made for large screens in public spaces to follow self-updating posts of curated accounts and hashtags, is also a fun way to find new profiles to follow! Brought to you […]

SQL dumps created with current releases of "pg_dump" (namely 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19 or 13.22) can no longer be loaded with earlier versions of "psql" because they contain new "\restrict" commands that did not exist in earlier versions and will cause "invalid command" errors. The reason for […]

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours. - Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours) - more intuitive for people who use electricity - never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]

I wrote a #nonogram generator and solver in Python today. Don't ask why :breadpeek: And here is a graph showing the percentage of randomly generated 10x10 nonograms that can be solved without guessing, depending on the density of colored cells. Just because! […] [Original post on chaos.social]

“Oh. Oh, no” “What?” “I think this is a simulation.” “What is?” “THIS. Everything. The universe. Us.” “What, like _The_Matrix_” “Yea, but not as trans.” “Wait, the Matrix is trans?” “Where have you been. Anyway, Simulation panic!” “How can you tell” “I’m thinking about aliens. Like, if […]

I really like the zip-bomb idea to waste AI crawler resources and tweaked it a bit. My version is now also a tar pit (infinite pages, rate-limited) and not only expands to ~8GB of HTML, but also lots of DOM nodes that are extra taxing on the layout engine of headless browsers. Humans or 'good' […]

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash […]

This tickles my brain in funny ways :blobpats: https://github.com/defnull/multipart/commit/a16d0ee7b4926c67273747ca687f2ed0b5af2cb9

I feel honored that #curl depends on my multipart library (at least the curl test suite) but does it? I can find the dependency but not that it is used. I wonder how that happened :rubberduck:

I think I'm witnessing my first real AI crawler incident. 1.775.652 unique IPs, almost all of them are from dynamic IP pools intended for private Internet customers (e.g. verizon, comcast, vodafone, ...). Most IPs only send a single request, blocking them does not help. 235.854 unique user […]

I am now the proud owner of an ozone generator, which I had to use exactly once and will hopefully never need again. Works great though. Fascinating little device :rubberduck:

I love Bosh for offering reasonably priced spare parts for a 9 year old tumble dryer, but why is the part I need almost 30% cheaper on Amazon than from their own store website? 30+5€ vs 25+0€. Same part. How does that work?

#uv and #uvx are great tools, but they modifies and sometimes break #python executables if those contain "from __future__" imports. This also affected #bottlepy, but there is a workaround: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/6489#issuecomment-2973748865 You can now use bottle with uvx again […]

Fun fact: When someone sends UNIX epoch timestamps as microseconds but you expect them to be seconds, they will parse as the year 57411. Nanoseconds will result in the year 55443403 (±). If you have a decimal number with two decimal places but someone forgets the dot or sends a comma instead […]

Dear #introvert #foss #developers, writing good and useful software is not enough. If no one talks or writes about it, then no one will find and use your project, no matter how awesome it is. Discoverability and marketing is way more impactful than code quality or features. That's a sad truth […]

New release of #Fediwall suports fedi.buzz as a source and is nicer to unresponsive or overloaded source servers. The update also contains security patches in dependencies, but those issues did not impact fediwall, so no urgency for an update […]
