Weekend! Whooo 🤣 Having a few too many glassses of 🍷 listening to music on Youtube and playing Chess which I haven't been playing much lately 😢

@dce Hello! 👋 Welcome! 🤗

@itsericwoodward Also just a heads up, GIF(s) aren't supproted as an Avatar type on yarnd (what runs twtxt.net). I'd change this to something that's more supproted like PNG, JPEG, etc.

Today I finally got rid of my /29 IPv4 subnet with my ISP used to power my ingress. No longer.

This whole Age Verification that's being rolled out in the UK, AU and parts of the EU is totally fucking bullshit. Death to the Online Safety Act.

Hello @jassim 👋

Been mucking around with designing my own camper (floor plan).

Global update: Trump in Scotland says EU trade deal has 50-50 chance as tariff row grows. Gaza sees 9 more starvation deaths (122 total); UN says famine is deliberate. Thai-Cambodia clashes kill 16, displace 135k. US raid in Syria kills top ISIS leader & sons.

After many weeks and probably at least a hundred hours of research, discussions and in-person viewing, I think I've finally come up with my Final Choices (shortlist) of a Hybrid Camper / Caravan that I think will suit my family and that I'll enjoy (far less work for me to setup and teardown). The one at the top of the list I'm leaning towards os the SWAG SCT16 Family 4B #Camping #Campers

Discover the OPUS OP4 TLX: The Perfect off-road Camper for Families Kind of thinking about this now hmmm 🤔

Been spending a lot of time researching campers as I want to / plan to upgrade our current Camper Trailoer (forward fold) Stoney Creek XL-FF6 to a slightly larger Hybrid Camper/Caravan with ensuite, internal kitchenette, external full hitchen, pop-top roof and twin bunks.

This is the summary and whittling down of my research so far: https://wiki.mills.io/s/1103bc9c-dd75-4a98-b64b-8dadc5b0e51f/doc/comparision-Ln03Moiibq

How you can tell a "review post" on some random website was written by AI?

Ergonomically nicer than its binocular counterpart

How exactly is this a reason to avoid?! 🤦‍♂️

Feeling a bit bad for the folks and Coffs Harbor and on the coast of Sydney right now 🤯

As promised, here's some photos of love you!! camping trip to Canarcon George in QLD, Australia.

I'm back! 👋

Gone on a road trip. Be back in a week 👋

Hmmm 🧐 Not what I thought was going on... No bug...

Great article from Tailscale about how security policies we've often seen in many large complex organizations that we all love to hate don't actually provide the security that we assumed.

I'm finding this very interesting... An evolved neural network that plays the game of tic-tac-toe and so far is a pretty decent player. Here is a visualization of it's evolved "brain" that underwent GA (genetic algorithm) training with classification learning + self-play.

No Github

Please don't upload my code on Github!

I'm thinking about putting this up on all my projects and even on the front page of my Gitea instance 🤔

... experimenting with building and training a tic-tac-toe game, which evolves a. neural net that learn to paly the game against the best evolved champions 😅

Over the past few weeks I've been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven't gotten very far. I've been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so "random" it isn't even funny. Like I can't even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

https://youtu.be/1GN3xBuAgrI?si=ezBYJeSOFgtBdjEu -- Can someone please just fire Trump already? What a fucking idiot?! The man is a lunatic 🤦‍♂️

Hey y'all 👋 I am told my "participation" is drastically down of ,ate So sorry 😞 Busy quite a busy few weeks at work with a reorg and lots of complex things happening in real live too 😅 -- Hope everything is doing well 🤗

I'm thinking of bringing back filters (this time not as a feature flag, just baked in): New filters: Hide Feed, Hide Bots, Hide News, Media Only, No Replies, Local Only — toggle to trim noise & surface the Twts you care about.

Farrrk me Google search is and these days. Will they please "fuck off" with this Gemini AI garbage at the top that takes forever and is distracting as shit™ 💩 Fark me 🤦‍♂️ #Google #Search #Sucks #AI #Gemini

Anyone want to help me alpha/beta test the new WAF I'm building? It's a Caddy module. 🤔

Also spent the morning continuing to think about a new design for EdgeGuard's WAF. I'm basically going to build an entirely new pluggable WAF that will be designed to only consider Rate Limiting, IP/ASN-based filtering, JavaScript challenge handling, Basic behavioral analysis and Anomaly detection.

The only part of this design I'm not 100% sure about is the Javascript-based challenge handling? 🤔 I'm also considering making this into a "proof of work" requirement too, but I also don't want to falsely block folks that a) turn Javascript™ off or b) Use a browser like links, elinks or lynx for example.

Hmmm 🧐

Running monthly backups...

Really hoping Elizabeth Watson Brown wins and hold her seat here in Ryan 🙏

Going to try and few up a few more UX bugs today with yarnd.

@kat Have you rebuild from main recently? 🤔

How do you stop a dog from barking? 🧐

@bmallred You mean ActivityPub + Twtxt? 🤔

@kat / @xuu Recommend you git checkout main && git pull, rebuild and redeploy: make build, and however you deploy. 🙏 Lots of fixes (no more stalling) and optimizations to the feed fetcher, smoother cpu usage, better internal metrics.

Hey @kat If you see this, I'm aware of a bug. I'm trying to figure it out and fix it. bare with me 🤗 It is what's causing things to "stall" and to have to "restart". Sorry 😞

@kat @xuu Recommend you git checkout main && git pull && make build. Few bug fixes 😄

After yarnd v0.16 is released and the next round of specification updates are done and dusted, who wants me to have another crack at building Twtxt and activity pub integration support?

LOL Amazon displaying tariff prices "hostile and political," White House say is this the kettle calling the pot black? 🤣 Trump, pfft, what a fucking idiot. No clue how economies work, let alone countries.

03:45 You can pretty blame capitalism for everything that's wrong with anything 🤣

Nothing like being paged at 00:30 (midnight) for a P2 incident that is now resolved at 02:10 🤯 Obviously I'm not going to work tomorrow (I mean today lol 😂) at the usual start time 🤦‍♂️

Finally I propose that we increase the Twt Hash length from 7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update

And speaking of Twtxt (See: #xushlda, feeds should be treated as append-only. Your client(s) should be appending Twts to the bottom of the file. Edits should never modify the timestamp of the Twt being edited, nor should a Twt that was edited by deleted, unless you actually intended to delete it (but that's more complicated as it's very hard to control or tell clients what to do in a truely decentralised ecosystem for the deletion case). #Twtxt #Client #Recommendations

Just like we don't write emails by hand anymore (See: #a3adoka), we don’t manually write Twts or update our twtxt.txt feeds. Instead, we use modern Twtxt clients that conform to the specifications at Twtxt.dev for a seamless, automated experience. #Twtxt #Twt #UserExperience

Nobody writes emails by hand using RFC 5322 anymore, nor do we manually send them through telnet and SMTP commands. The days of crafting emails in raw format and dialing into servers are long gone. Modern email clients and services handle it all seamlessly in the background, making email easier than ever to send and receive—without needing to understand the protocols or formats behind it! #Email #SMTP #RFC #Automation

Wrote some serious Python for the first time in like 10 years 😱 I feel so dirty 🤣

I have a great idea for fixing the US economy. Get rid of all the nuclear weapons 🤣
