    time to seize the means of computing?

    at some point, stalwart decided to get a new cert from letsencrypt instead of just renewing it (no idea why, or when), and that broke DANE and caused me missed email. I already only use 3 1 1 pinning, but of course, that isn&#39;t helping if the entire cert changes. lovely. wonderful. great. awesome. I hate technology.

    current status: being involved in three different work-things that all three make me lose my sanity at the same time, AMA

    can the web please stop breaking all the time? I&#39;m tired.

    there&#39;s nothing quite like the jumpscare experience of accidentally full-screening an application on a 40 inch ultrawide monitor. like, it&#39;s absolutely staggering if your signal window is suddenly taking up your entire field of vision. one could make a horror game out of that, huh?

    what the actual fuck denic, what the fuck is wrong with you.

    A contact just told me that my old &quot;LLMs generate nonsense code&quot; blog post from 2 years ago is now very outdated with GPT5 because it&#39;s so awesome and so helpful. So I asked him to give it a test for me, and asked it my favorite test question based on a use-case I had myself recently: Without adding third-party dependencies, how can I compress a Data stream with zstd in Swift on an iPhone? and here is the answer from ChatGPT 5: https://chatgpt.com/share/68968506-1834-8004-8390-d2...

    if you&amp;#39;re responsible for a FOSS project, it&amp;#39;s now time to consider how you can run your project without relying on the US. like, using GitHub is fine. Continue using it - I do, too, and there&amp;#39;s a lot of value of having projects centralized in one place. but you **need** to make sure you have a contingency plan. is your repo with all branches and metadata backed up somewhere else? do you own your project&amp;#39;s website, discussion forums, or something else that allow...

    RE: https://mstdn.social/@plwt/115740603373161878 this is the only post about Mozilla drama you&#39;ll get from me, because a) I&#39;m tired, b) I&#39;ll be on vacation starting tomorrow evening, c) most of y&#39;all have either already used your brains, or you just want to knee-jerk - which is fine, too. in any case, don&#39;t listen to me, because lots of folks will claim I&#39;m biased anyway (which, tbh, is fair, given I like having a paycheck). so instead, check out this post from a commu...

    so, a while ago, I have been tricked into trying out a vibe-coded project. &quot;tricked&quot;, because it wasn&#39;t disclosed anywhere, and just from screenshots and the readme, it looked fine&#39;ish. it was a small web-app used to upload and download files. you know, kinda like wetransfer, but self-hosted. I gave it a quick try, and it worked well enough for the use-case I had (requesting one file from a user). except that.. chunked uploading was broken. oh, and also: the project provided...
