It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and,
above all, it eats creativity.
It eats quality and sh*ts quantity.

@jake4480@c.imWhen I was a kid, I had a couple well-loved issues of G.I. Joe Special Missions, and this art from the cover of one of them was my absolute favorite. And I ran across it the other day again, and it still strikes me as extremely badass, even now. Just something about Snake Eyes scaling a wall in moonlight.

@pre@boing.worldA couple of days of just layering varnish and painting which didn't change anything visibly enough to bother with photos. But today, the windowed doors are starting to be completed. Three of them up.
This is what really makes the difference and makes it suddenly reminiscent of the Tardis.
Hopefully it'll be finished next week, they say. But they have said that before. The windowed doors have to be finished, the detailing to make the doors look panelled, handles, holes for cables, there's a bit of coving I decided to add to help carry wires and lights across the gap above the desk. More painting. Mirrors to be glued to doors.
We shall see :fingers_crossed:
@aredridel@kolektiva.socialUgh why is this always the way. I evaluated like 25 authentication servers for a small scale web project — I do want to support things like OIDC and Passkeys, so this is not something I really want to make myself like the old days of “use crypt() on the passwords and just make a simple database”.
5 of them are just dev mode garbage that will never see the light of day as a thing people use.
2 of them are home network nonsense for people who want enterprise login for their family, but where One Nerd controls the whole user-list.
15 of them are freemium "open source" where they withhold features for their enterprise tier and make them so unfortunately difficult to deploy, all requiring postgresql databases and a complex containerization setup and helm charts and oh so much.
and then there's kanidm, which is great except its opinions make it completely unusable for a community project, it's really more trying to fit the ‘enterprise unix authentication' space. Kudos to them for communicating it but it's the wrong tool, even if it is really good.
And then there's rauthy. Which is exactly what I want, well built and delightful, uses a lightweight embedded database, and even has a peer-to-peer sync for scalability. But customizing it is going to be a lesson in building it from source repeatedly, and its configuration is just a bit strange, and its frontend is extremely Backend Developer Wrote A Web UI. I guess I got a second project. And maybe a third to make debian packages of it.
Yet it really is the best of the options _by far_.
NLNet supported projects continue to punch above their weight class.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioLLMs never make mistakes or hallucinate, as this presupposes they actually know what they’re doing—they don’t: they have no concept of what words mean.
They don’t even deal with language, as they generate chains of big numbers based on statistical correlations.
The resulting transformation into human-readable text is always only a statistical approximation of what a real answer could maybe look like.
By sheer chance sometimes LLMs are even correct (usually for trivial things); however above a certain length of answer it is always wrong.

@cdarwin@c.imMarc Gurman said that Apple's plan to bring more ads to iOS is "gaining traction,"
-- with the Maps app being next in line.
The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search.
The system is said to be similar to Search Ads in the App Store, which allows developers to pay to have their software appear in a promoted slot above other results

@scott@carfree.cityLast year global temperatures were 1.6°C over the pre-industrial average, the first year to breach the 1.5° goal.
"One or two years that exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level does not imply that the Paris Agreement has been breached. However, with the current rate of warming at more than 0.2°C per decade, the probability of breaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement within the 2030s is highly likely."
