Now does this mean that light can sometimes act like a particle, and sometimes like a snake, depending on whether shag carpet is present? I... uh... may not have been paying attention in physics class, but I think we can conclude: yes. More here:

When no posts exist, deflection from the original trajectory over multiple trials is very small. When the danger-noodle contacts the posts, there's much more deflection in path. 'Passive biomechanical dynamics' are determining the snake's path, rather than active, real-time sensory feedback.

I had a time at Furry Weekend Atlanta. Just a few thoughts: cendyne.dev/posts/2026-0... Overall, big improvements now that they're at 17k. Plenty more to improve on though!

A commission for Cendyne of him, Photonman2 and Jacobi hanging out at the local indoor water park. Jacobi is not that fond of water tbh.

I found myself raising my pinkie when drinking a can of soda like it was some sort of fancy cup o' tea

I wake up I upgrade RDS database I sleep

*trying to understand why Window's start menu won't let me start the app until the icon loads in the search results. Its right there* *doesn't understand why this is a design choice in windows*

lol this bodes poorly for

Used to saying the same thing over and over again to an computer? How about a person? A living person? I've found myself in that position lately. cendyne.dev/posts/2026-0...

Microslop has realized it has burned too much of its good will They're in damage control now.

I am pleased to share the news from Chaotic Enby "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited" on Wikipedia

I'm glad my day is going better than this person

more about the thing i found today. wish bsky didn't ban hf spaces because I wanna have more fun >:(

It is 2026. Can I not be subjected to WSDLs?

Today Cendyne had to touch salesforce because of a scary email. Today Cendyne found out that none of the prior salesforce developers set up DKIM on emails. For the past 8 years. (Also never hooked into SPF)

Its another day and Cendyne is already having to review and critique and patch ChatGPT generated legally binding business agreement addendums.

I rolled away the card printers this year at @fursquared.com to make room for the zebra printers – they're cheaper, faster, and don't break down every year! We cut through the lines and staff told me they were outright bored. Importantly, they weren't stressed at all! 👀@ printers for your con? 🔗⬇️

As a Linux user on 10 year old hardware available on eBay for $50, I would like to do silly things without x11 or Wayland. Rust and hardware acceleration preferred.

63ms in latency ain't bad. That's about 4 frames. WebRTC over localhost between two processes using hardware accelerated h264

Due to popular demand, here is a demonstration video of how to make 3D printed PCBs using just vector drawing software, a 3D printed (PETG filament for mine) and self-adhesive copper tape. Any questions, let me know!

Why is it that I can close my macbook and leave it in my backpack for 2 weeks and it has over half the battery with instant-on when I open it -- when I can't even close a windows laptop over night in a backpack for fear it will catch on fire?

Oh, right. I forgot that LLMs allow newsletters to A/B test their language to see what gets the most clicks. I just got two. One for my Legal-name account, and one for Cendyne.

I was today years old when I found out my code is encrypting data against an 18 year old PGP key. I wrote that comment 6 years ago.

Why think about valentines when I could think about egg Or more specifically a WYSIWYG editor for my bespoke document format that I use on my blog

Reading generated job descriptions fills me with dread. And sighs. Some things are left unsaid like "Hey, you know how to communicate right? Orally and in written form? Gotta cover our bases, in case you do pass our interviews"

I'm having this weird cognitive dissonance where I'm using the same tactics for a forgetful LLM agent with a person. I have to gradually refine my memos and share them multiple times a week. Each has a very condensed and to the point communication (unlike his GPT gen work) with links to other memos.

Nothing like doing near-midnight database maintenance for a micro service that's no longer being actively used to avoid aws extended support fees

Back to work... time to review more ChatGPT generated documents

Finally at the recap section of my presentation for designing scalable processes to be given this Friday at a furry convention @fursquared.com

The idea of rate limiting password attempts behind an enterprise plan blows my mind

... I'm reviewing legal documents today. With emojis. And numbered lists. And bullet points. ChatGPT generated legal documents

TIL that windows has OpenSSH now. or at least, Microsoft's flavor of it.

Just implemented something like RFC 8628 OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant using websockets instead of active polling over Cloudflare durable objects. The happiness I felt at seeing a separate device connect and authenticate under 200ms was fresh and delightful.
