A brutal, crushing #ThursDeath this week with debut LP 'Putrescence' by Toronto's COPROLITH. The riffs are relentless, the drums are pounding. The last song is the single, I listened to a ton of it before this came out, and it still strikes me how great it is every time I hear it. What an amazing record. Cavernous as fuck. Easily one of my favorite metal records this year so far.

Honestly still unsure and uneasy about using LLM's for this, but it's hard to deny the results. This would have taken me a good week or two to do. Maybe even 3 or 4. But the real question now is: How much did it fuck up?

I was biking near the queens zoo today, and adjusting the pedal-assist all the way up to 4 (which I never do). Thinking to myself, "Jesus fuck, is this headwind really that strong or is this heat just making me weak?"
I look over at the sidewalk, and someone is walking backwards to deal with the wind. "Oh, it's actually the headwind."

Seriously though, it can be that simple. It just needs to exist and end with some kind of accreditation that's tracked somehow. That study can also be "forming the coven" and the tracking can just completely overlap with the legal paperwork needed for the whole "ecclesiastical government" bit.

I didn't even know it could be that bad before the instability flipped things. They had institutions... Yeah they were basically kept down by a few generations of oligarchs; had them pretty much enslaved and worshipping money at the same time. Serious obedience conditioning. Religions were doing it too. Whew that must have been a shitty time. Only a couple of centuries of the worst of it at least. Wait scroll further, what happened?"

my grandfather was imprisoned by Franco’s regime because he was on the Republican side and was accused of being Communist though there was never any evidence he was a member of the Communist party. He was just a democrat, who saw Franco for the dictator that he was.
So ya… when people start to make excuses for Mark Carney allowing Canadian participation in a conference whose sole purpose is to drum up fake fear over “leftist extremism”, I take it a little personally.
Fuck Carney’s appeasement.
Attached is a photo of the bombing of Valencia’s northern train station by Italian forces in 1937, near the current stadium of Valencia CF. My grandfather lived in a village on the outskirts of Valencia and participated in resistance within the city. He and his family, including my dad, lived in Valencia throughout WWII. My grandmother eventually took the kids to France in the 50s, and my grandfather joined them after being released (?) from prison. They came to Canada in ‘52 and didn’t return to visit family and friends left behind until after Franco’s death.
This is where appeasement of fascism leads.

You know those Nazis people were living next to in Germany, back in the day? You’re living next to them right now. And they have those lovely families and the house next door and every day they go to work at corporations that are complicit in genocide. And if you’re wondering what you would have done about it back then… well, you’re doing it now. And, more than likely, it’s exactly what most folks did in Nazi Germany. Which is absolutely fuck all.

Fuck off with your "I hope it's hot where you are" Powell. You're just taking the piss, even if it is from nearly half a century ago. #TOTP

Ad people be like: "Let's add some sound to our app ads, surely it'll generate more downloads!"
My actual reaction: "Shut the fuck up. Fuck you, your app, your whole family and your cat."

As if I needed another fucking project, it seems that having a small CNC mill to turn out brass nameplates is a potentially viable cottage manufacturing path. I have a small non-CNC mill. Now I have to learn about DIY CNC shit. But I'm OLD, dammit! Learning is for YOUNG people! FUCK

8 months ago I paid $140 for a (refurbished) 14TB enterprise SATA hard drive.
Now if I paid that same price, I'd get a 6TB drive: ebay.com/itm/178226092992

A while ago I rescued all my ebooks from amazon and converted all of them to epubs. Except one. So today I spent an hour trying to pry it from the cold evil hands of the Bezos and finally succeeded. Fuck you big tech, and the horse you rode in on.
Oh this was the book; I highly recommend it.

So... I was working on preparing forge.cloudsling.dev to open to the public, to start hosting #FLOSS projects for free, away from Github and other tech overlords...
Well, it will take some more time than I wanted. Our services have been down for around 1h because of a bots avalanche that have been scrapping all they could.
Now, the "attack" continues:
CPU usage above 80% of total capacity.
Outbound traffic at 3MiBps... when we only have 15 registered users, and only me is looser enough to be touching that on a weekend.
Shutting down the servers for the rest of this weekend... 💔 :revblobfoxtableflip:

Like, seriously. You need to install a whole separate app in order to copy pictures to your clipboard in Android????? And another separate app to be able to save files from the share sheet???
What the fuck?
At least THAT works on Linux, even if it doesn't have a streamlined share sheet

#FLOSS ecosystem.
I don't think we have a clear idea yet of what's to come, but a recurring image in our conversations is that of feudal age alchemists: closed, hermetic, underground groups, sharing knowledge in tight secret circles, never with the wide public... it's certainly not a pretty picture, but it might be the "rational" conclusion for many.
When we see the threat of big corporations (or just petty unimaginative people) stealing our work, what can we do, when collective action has been labelled as criminal activity, other than hide or risk the severe consequences of being combative?

After my awful experience with share sheets on Android, and due to the complete lack of a share sheet in Linux: Can we have a xdg-share-sheet-portal thing or something?
I'm saying this thinking of postmarketOS, as from my Android experience I'm predicting that an even less streamlined sharing process on a phone wouldn't be great either (but to be fair at least file managers on Linux let you copy files to clipboard, so there's no way it'd be worse than whatever the fuck is going on in android)

We tweaked our firewalls and our Anubis rules. The attack persisted, but it was contained.
We also scaled our systems to avoid more accidental downtimes caused by these scrapping operations... Then the attackers scaled up their scrapping campaign, and found new ways to bypass our #Anubis config.
This past night I managed to come up with a stricter configuration that blocks virtually all of them (I don't know for how long this will last, though).
As of now, our Anubis instance is stopping around 40 requests per second.
I know that this is "nothing" for anyone working in very big systems, but bear in mind that this is after I already blocked around 3.5% of all the IPv4 addresses existing, and it accounts for 95% of our traffic. For every legitimate request we have, we have 19 that come from bots.
P.S.: In an ideal world, I would openly share the rules I found to work well... Unfortunately I don't think that would be a good idea. I don't want to make the scrappers' job any easier.
