Closed-garden mobile-first tech feudalism lobotimized the Internet. I remember trying out the Freenets, I2Ps, and whatnot in the 90's. Too cumbersome nerdy tools to use for anythin…

[Internet facing router with up to date firmware] --> HTTPS --> [separate VLAN DMZ] --> [my hardcore IndieWeb VM/k8s/bare-metal whatever] --> [x No outbound access / paranoid local…

Also the Always Free Oracle Cloud tier is pretty generous. You can spin up a VM or two with it.

The article was a lot of words just to say that. It's sad that we need this new concept of "IndieWeb", as the whole Internet evolved into a monstrosity hosted and guardrailed by a …

Writing code by your own hands is an esoteric hobby. We are past the slop era. This is coding now. If you're 1x, you're not a dev. I would assume by now most of the code published …

I need to protect against the malicious good guys, the shodans of the world. Peeping inside your windows and trying your front door handles. Querying every string imaginable and po…

I got B70 few days ago. Running on CachyOS. 9070XT on PCIe x16 and B70 on the x4. ROCm nightly was pretty easy to setup and get up running. The 9070XT has been a decent card for my…

> They tend to work for really big companies that can afford to have lots of unproductive people with really advanced degrees that don’t contribute to the bottom line. Interesting.…

Streaming sites and shopping carts are used by millions of people, but casually after work, maybe twice a day. LoBs are used intensively for hours on end in a busy work day, and mo…

My epiphany a month ago was that I can use Environment = MULTIPLE=environment VARIABLES="in single line"

The full spec in single page is like a poster boy for the current AI slop webdev. https://specification.website/llms-full.txt

Interesting stats to look at. Is "Telecommunications" the only tech that's actually been steadily automating it's workforce since 2000: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CES505170…

I'm Finnish and dear god I hate the default overtly friendly tones of LLMs. Always the first thing to tune in system prompt. You're a machine, stop anthropomorphizing yourself and …

Interesting. And now this not-AI-generated-actually-real-cropped-Monet-AI-joke has been sold to an AI art collector for 40k. https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/2055281312697647223

I'm not a slave to my computer. Stop using bad services that are designed to manipulate your behaviour. There's still the good old Internet out there with genuinely interesting con…

Sure. But then I would have to use my brain to actually write code. I thought we were past that already. Also, if it's an agent that keeps scouring the net autonomously for more di…

This kind of busy work should suit an AI agent: Go and find me all the repolists and package/software metadata for any distro and OS ever released. Write the results to a local SQL…

What is "RHEL 14.3"? Was this site a one shot prompt. Quality.

DNS and PKI. Two of the most centralized services in the Internet. Take over both of them, and you have the whole net under your command.

Background image of some local street. Image of a wolf and object selection tool (pre AI era version). Touch up a little and add some filters to drop the quality. Sure a little bit…

How about not believing everything that's posted to the Internet. This could've easily been done with Photoshop in the pre AI era.

Can IDE's be configured so that it won't allow to save the file changes if it contains the usual suspects; buffer overflows and what not. LLM would scan it and deny write operation…

These are all relics from the innocent 90's Internet. We had our global village and everything was fine. A couple of bad actors spamming blue pills here and there and that was it. …

This whole reactionist protectionist sovereignity fuss will blow over in a year or two. Way too costly to force mass migrate gazillion users and services. Even if just to move away…
