  New #blog post https://christoff.re/migrating-away-from-wordpress-for-website-cms/ With all the "AI" slop being forced in WordPress 7.0+ and because I've simply been procrastinating do it: I'm migrating off #WordPress for the website CMS. I generate a static site anyway, so won't have much impact to anyone other than blog posts are now delayed until I make the switch. It's been time for a while. The workflow is very suboptimal and been &quo...

  Coding a static site generator, porting over what I have in a WordPress theme (including custom tag taxonomies and almost a drop-in replacement soon) without using an LLM. Just good old Perl and manuals and knowledge in the noodle.

  Must say, taking a 4-day vacation from LLMs has been rewarding and worth it.

  I started up playing the Iron Realms Entertainment #MUD #Aetolia this long weekend some. I played their #Achaea game for over 20 years. I had a ton of fun in Achaea, but it was very low roleplay stuff, sure it existed but anyway, the point is ultimately I played the game as a single-player PvE when it was a communal game. So, this time, I'm primarily joining to play well with others and not have it be a solo game. Excited about communal storytelling and exploring the rich set of lore.

  #Mastoadmin #mastodon Admins using @mastohost - Note that setting a 3-day image retention policy and relaying with @Jerry's relay.infosec.exchange leaves me with ~1GB in DB and ~38GB in media, more than enough on the Star plan. Here is the dashboard after it relaying for several days (enough to get accurate metrics). Note: I'm the only user on the instance (other than bots with next to no external interaction, I made them for me but share with others). No use case to open re...

  I listen to Phish almost exclusively. It isn't because I only like Phish, it is because I choose to after having a broad music appreciation for 40 years. Now for the other half of my life, I want to enjoy all that hard work and enjoy the music I personally love the most above all others. I'm very educated in music and can enjoy music in any genre (mostly) and vibe with it, I'm connected to the music. #Phish just happens to be perfect for me and there's thou...

  Working on adding emojis and really making this instance a Phish-centric place. Got a few more bots planned to help fill it in somewhat. Planning on opening it up to public registration (approval required, etc) after that. Emojis: https://emojos.in/yem.bouncingaroundtheroom.online

  Starting reviewing all the #Phish concerts of #1995 on my blog at https://christoff.re tomorrow! I did all the "work" stuff of it all in advance: - 82 draft blog posts that are pre-populated with everything but my review data - my own custom spreadsheet (ods format) for 1995 concerts - audio files downloaded, metadata updated, and playlists created for each concert for offline listening So, now I simply get to listen, take notes, relisten maybe, update draft blog post, and p...

  New blog post, started my #Phish #1995 concert journey. Here's the first show of 82 for me (starting with tour concerts first, then non-tour after). Discuss below if you want, or don't, we're cool. https://christoff.re/phish-review-1995-06-07-boise-state-university-pavilion-boise-id/

  The adult coloring book market is trashed on amazon, full of llm generated garbage. Where does one find good adult #coloring #books online made by humans?

  Made a #Phish bot at @icculus - it will post every day a "on this day" trivia, and will post at least twice a day on random trivia. Almost all of the content is Phish.net driven. Primarily did it for folks to learn Phish trivia and read more about it. I did it for me, but should be useful for others.

  Picked up the Gehr "The Phish Book" in used paper format. Pretty cool history told through pictures. Of course, you can check it out for free at the Internet Archive Library https://archive.org/details/phishbook00gehr

  Added a few features to @icculus - it will search for new official youtube videos and post when one arrives - checks phish.in for an improved status change (missing or partial) - checks phish.net/jamcharts for new additions - checks for new tour dates via phish.net, too

  NGL, vibe coding with opus 4.7 is pretty dang impressive. It really changes the game where you can generate purposeful utilities and programs for yourself, like just is an option available to you now. The world of tomorrow is kind of cool, if you ignore the whole destruction of the planet and robbing all of humanity for profit. It can help get someday TODO projects off the ground and running. Sure, *you* didn't do it or all of it or whatever, who cares? It's for you. You&#3...

  It is enjoyable be backing on a GNU/Linux again. Fewer barriers but less polish compared to macOS. Note: been using a *nix for a daily driver for 30 years.

  Working on coding a #BBS! So far it has full telnet support, a forums, private encrypted messaging, and working on more :) Envisioning/hoping it is a place a few regular people hang out and enjoy a community with me in a more limited experience with other humans, separate from the WWW :)

  What's new? I built this pentesting and red/purple teaming llm skills-based assistant. It's pretty neat and learned a lot (was a learning/research project for work that encompass about 100 separate skills for things I do using real code and data as concrete backing it uses). Using agent skills and hooks are way more flexible and powerful than I ever thought. It's sorta difficult to go back to raw now. With a good infra and a ton more tokens, I see how determined can o...

  The irony of LLM-aided adversarial cybersecurity existing is due to the data centers, the same data centers that stole hardware availability from the masses as they now get it, and now no one can run these things themselves unless they happened to have it in the before time. If the DCs fell now, then normal folks could hopefully buy that hardware and run their own powerful models. Unsure what a world would be like with semi-decent LLMs available to a masses for mostly a one-time cost.

  #Phish 04-25-2026 is getting a lot of replays from me, especially set 2 and that CDC!

  seeing if I can work with claude code to make a pmars replacement. sure, it isn't needed. But I still want to learn that stuff well and using claude code to bootstrap someday projects off the ground in some way while the all-you-can-eat buffet of frontier model tokens lasts.

  Connected with Phish friends again on Discord... I sold out.

  Appreciate pancake and @radareorg contributors that made good documentation for me to get started wrapping my head around what contributing means and how to go about it. Then, I'll just poke around stuff I care about, seeing if there is stuff to help with :) https://github.com/radareorg/radare2/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md https://github.com/radareorg/radare2/blob/master/DEVELOPERS.md https://book.rada.re/ https://github.com/radareorg/radare2
