Google has fully capitulated to Trump and is actively protecting human rights violators and war crimes perpetrators from accountability.

“It is outrageous that YouTube is furthering the Trump administration’s agenda to remove evidence of human rights violations and war crimes from public view”

#decemberAdventure day 7 - took care of a low hanging ticket to implement default nostr relays and allow the NostrAdapter to initialize without any keys

#decemberAdventure day 6

underbbs has more standardized logging and console output, standard panic recovery, and some UI niceties

also finished the bulk of configuration/setup on my new desktop install, which has been renamed "proteus"

@lynn what is a rabbit even doing if not getting white girl wasted

i forgot how nice windowmaker is, also how beautiful the touch of skeuomorphicism is without any compositing

context.Background() my beloved

nilFM radio is back: https://grimoire.nilfm.cc

#decemberAdventure day 3 - went back through mastodon and misskey adapters and improved subscription behavior: all adapters except the anonymous one now support "home", "global", and "atme" timeline streaming; also using madon/v3 for mastodon so we have support for real AP IDs instead of numeric ones there.

I always love an indoor garden, and this one seems to be doing well. There's a lot of natural light, but there are also HID grow lights installed on the edge of the lower balcony. I wonder how much they use them. For the DIA installation titled "indoor garden," the costly full-spectrum lighting was part of the controversy around the long-term maintenance of the piece.

lesson plan goes to the program director :D

let's goooooo!

snuggles, software, stimulants, skating. my needs are simple and alliterative

today's #decemberAdventure hacking on underbbs involved more robust "byAuthor" and "convoy" handling in the activitypub adapter and in the frontend as well. now when you click on a user to view their profile in the navigator, you can see their latest posts. and when you click on a post, you see the conversation as best it can be constructed (top-to-bottom instead of bottom-to-top)

embrace the jank ;_;

last year i started #decemberAdventure with underbbs

this year i will finish* underbbs with decemberAdventure

(*by finish i mean release)

this honk brought to you by a microclient built with underbbs

So I was at a conference and the Georgia World Congress Center is really something. You'll have to put up with a run of photos of it.

one of the things i wanna do during my PTO over the next week is fix my icecast setup...

we now return to regularly scheduled honks (server was waiting for the block storage decryption key all night after cloudops rebooted it T-T)

I find it disillusioning to see the casual use of "AI" slowly creeping into our hacker circles. Most of the discussions about AI focus on the quality of its output. I think we're not doing a good job communicating its more fundamental dangers.

In this blog post I write about how tools shape who we are and why the resource intensiveness of AI is ingrained in its purpose. About the devaluation of skills, and power cycles.

Let me know what you think.

It shouldn't be surprising we get inhumane tech when we seperate out stem and the humanities

@tedu is there a reason that honk only includes "ack"d replies in the replies collection?

Just finished landing Exit Code support. So now if more scanners are made or one of the projects gets more features you can quickly switch to whichever makes the most sense for your use case!

I literally lost a ton of sleep on this volunteer incident response work so I'm going to go touch grass for a bit.

More hacks later tonight, still got some loose ends gnawing at me lol.

Trying to explain to someone that using Linux for serious audio production is really not that complicated, it's just a few simple easy steps, only a matter of navigating the trifecta of jack, pulse and alsa, there's nothing to it all, oh, hey come back, I haven't told you how to auto start the audio servers-HEY, get back here

Ah I love pinball

Inspired by perfnow.nl, I've dusted off drafts of my network and device situation analysis. Good news/bad news: devices and networks are improving, but web page payloads are swelling.

The result is predictable: the web is usable for the wealthy, but less so for everyone else. This is an ethical crisis for frontend:

> The essence of Free Software is: “When it breaks, you get to keep both halves.” If something doesn’t work the way you want it to, you can change it so that it does. [...] If you want the software to get updated—to have bugs fixed and security vulnerabilities patched—you want something very different. What you want is an ongoing supply of software, not a copy of a specific software artifact. Confusing these two situations is, I think, at the core of the current angst about sustainability of free and open source software.

Everybody go read "Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson, because apparently that whole scenario is actually about to start happening: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/21/stardust-geoengineering-janos-pasztor-regulations-00646414

ISPs and cellular carriers will no longer be required to meet minimum cybersecurity standards after an FCC vote Thursday. “This is such a terrible idea.

@mariusor btw with your keen eye i fixed authorized fetch in underbbs and am making progress on the rest of my backlog; thanks ^^
