pov: you forgot to water your kumquat tree before going in a week long trip during a heatwave, but you trimmed it back and now it is recovering

saw some cool tree blossoms recently

people like to compare federated social media to email but i think that isn’t quite right, because email is point to point, not broadcast

maybe i should hang out here for a while hmmm

it’s good to have Fun

lmao this lets anyone with db access issue a token, thats why its dumb i knew there was a problem with it at the time

the cool thing about geeks mops sociopaths is you can point to any group of humans, at any size, and construct the division people (implicitly) construct the geeks mops sociopaths distinction about the four members of the Beatles for fuck sake

and desert

scallion noodles for dinner

hmmm i’ve got like… 8? 8 books to read gah

for example: dox someone by registering a domain name with their full wallet name, and you can even make it point to their actual profile!

oh wait is bluesky creating a subdomain for every user uhhhhhh uhhh that seems like an… impolite use of the domain name system

it turns out you don’t even need to hit me up, i can simply decide to give you this name if i want

etc etc

hmmm @ilove.olly.systems

imagine being an advisor at credit suisse who’s beaten your colleagues and peers in UBS by taking risky bets for the past 10 years, contributing to the collapse of CS, then UBS stack ranks you and its own staff during the merger and fires a bunch of it’s own because your 10 year average is better

psa: if you use the phrase “federal government” i will assume you are referring to the federal government of austria, the only federated state i live in i also care about the federal governments of: switzerland, germany that is all

the last 10 years were the decade of the autist, the next 10 will be the decade of the adhdude

same with big words and with lingo if you use lots of big words and lingo in long paragraphs you are trying to trick me and i can and should disregard what you’re saying

using the austrian postal service as a database

its me hi im the problem its me

@h.olly.systems “working from home” today

interesting quirk of current ui: i have a habit of making a claim or outlining context in the first post of a thread, then adding some joke or commentary in the second on twitter the second post always does 50-90% worse than the first, but on here the second post sometimes does better

i wonder if the twitter-etoro news will cause bed bath and beyond to spike when markets open, like how doge has spiked now “meme stock acceleration program announced” is surely gonna trend positive for the most meme of meme stocks

well this seems wildly predatory also explains why all my shorts just went negative (via cnbc)

there are a number of reasons i would never start a social network, this thread details one of them godspeed to the brave few who would try

the way to escape the dead internet phenomenon is to develop closed communities whose members have all passed a proof of humanity test that is hard to impossible to fake, like a physical chain of trust (“i met X who met Y who met Z who started this”)

good morning bluesky

i have some replies to this and it’s a fun prompt go talk to moonboi he’s cool

ok gf is here now @h.olly.systems (we are both extremely pleased with that url)

matts gotta get the bloomberg.com handle to flex

gf, completely straight faced: “wow, look at the chemtrails”

this was more or less inevitable i think

seeking a name for this session management approach (i’m sure it exists) - user sends server id and password - password is salted, hashed and checked - a token is generated consisting of id, timestamp, nonce - token + password hash are hashed, output appended to token - token returned to user

me, immediately after chugging my fifth cup of black coffee today: hmm i wonder why my stomach feels so unsettled

hmmmmm

wow, look at this huge calamansi tree i found

so how long till gwern logs on

spring brings with it the joy of growth

folks i am asking for your assistance in this trying time

ok thing i don’t understand people say “buy s&p500 for long term savings”, but you can liquidate there basically at will, whereas you can’t liquidate bonds (i guess you can sell but w/e) why isn’t the return on bonds better than s&p, and therefore why aren’t they the “sane default”, for saving?

i remain broadly correct about deutsche bank and only very slightly sad i don’t gamble with real money, btw

i can’t believe monk would just come on here and start beefs like this, i thought we were friends and honestly? i feel attacked

been having idle thoughts recently about building little core infra things hung off “olly.systems”, everything needed for spinning up random side projects - some way to let people be known to me (sign up? to olly systems? hmm) - email stuff - some way to handle auth trivially (no passwords!)
