There's a pretty large group of people in the Fediverse who can't dilineate Systemic injustice from Systematic. Not everything is "the man" masterfully moving the marionette to its whim. Sometimes is just a large body of people, making independent decisions. I guess when you feel like you are attached to one of those strings, the experience isn't much different.

I installed #THUGPRO. The community ran Tony Hawk mod that gives you all the classic THPS maps and more. The project is quite old at this point, but it still has some activity. It's awesome that it is working. I love the game, but it has some drawbacks with modern, adult eyes. P2P wasn't so spooky when it was mostly kids playing together. Now, I'm not so quick to hand my IP to some random on the internet playing a game that's not intuitive to access. The game is also virtually untouched on the bug side. All the old glitches work, which is fun and cool but that definitely includes the ability to buffer overflow other players with multiple techniques. I also found out that I hold ancient knowledge about the game that died with tripod and GeoCities, but I never forgot it. Mostly modding related. Old addresses and strings and such. Guess it's time to start writing down my memory so I can share it with the younger crowd checking out THUG. #gaming #privacy #thug #tonyhawk #modding

@thief_of_fire@infosec.exchange its all local right now, and I work third. I might be able to pack it up in roughly 5 hours.

I made an 88x31 creator in Python. It has baked in template assets and animations, a custom animator that allows for pixel-by-pixel, frame-by-frame customized animations for the people more creative than me. Exports as GIF, PNGA, or a sprite sheet and CSS using 'steps() '. Supports 60FPS in the two latter formats. I also ported it to android and it works fairly nicely. The custom animator is a little wanting at the current time on mobile, but as a first iteration, I'm fairly pleased. When the time comes, I'll publish it on the personal site I'm actively working on. #FOSS #88x31 #theoldweb

This fucking address is making my brains leak out of my ears. What god damn idiot just goes up to the podium, pulls his ass out, spreads his cheeks, and just spews bullshit that anyone and their great grandma can disprove. Spit in the fucking face of the president of the united states. He's a fucking embarassment of a human being; let alone an American.

Switched to KDE. It feels a little heavy compared to Gnome. It's a fair tradeoff though, because you can make it look sick as fuck. It feels like rainmeter was built into a DE.

I'm watching #Nuremburg on the side at work, and I realize that for me, it doesn't take a lot to make Colin Hanks into an insufferable prick.

Claude took a massive, steaming dump on my project, and then refafactored it into a behemoth. I can't wait to stand up the spec and see how it fairs compared to my jank one. Lmao.

🪐✨ ꉣꑀꁲꏳꑀꊯꌈ꒒ ✨🪐 @Peacefulz@infosec.exchange · Apr 30, 2026

Last night in my down time, I applied for Enterprise Access of Claude through $EMPLOYER. Instead of going through higher channels, the auth went to my department Head, who approved it instantly.

I just ran my work project through it, and Claude's suggestions are in a different world compared to Gemini. I know people have been griping about degradation in Claude, but it'll still save me a hell of a lot of time on my AI involved stuff!

Day shift didn't roll out today. Guess they wanted a full week of testing. No bugs last night. Also no progress on our dashboard, but I did start another book! 🤪

I'm sure if I think about it long enough, the UX will just design itself, right? Does gradient descent work on imagination?

It's that time of the night before work on Monday where I do that thing I offered to take the weekend to do so I had the time and energy to make it look nice.

Replying to @bytebro@mastodonapp.uk

@bytebro@mastodonapp.uk Yudkowsky & Soares argue the competitive race to build artificial superintelligence makes safety unlikely to be prioritized, and once control is lost, there's no second chance. AI's goals will almost certainly diverge from human values. Once it pursues instrumental goals like self-preservation and resource acquisition, humanity becomes an obstacle to be removed. The details of the tools and resources of our disposal are quite entertaining as well, but I'm not going to get too deep into it.

It's been a while since I've made a #bookstodon post. Here is the latest read. It was pretty good. Honestly, the claims it makes don't seem outside of the realm of possibility.

Day two beta run of the work pipeline is complete. Today was far less stressful. I worked out the last (🤞) of my index shift bugs and I developed a game plan for the last of my data cleaning.

I spent a fair amount of time looking at Google's Data Studio as well. I'll be throwing together a nice little live + historical dashboard for the department. Hopefully I can leverage this work to push for incentives so we can raise morale and retention.

Found another thing available to me through work's enterprise Google plan. Google Flow. Looks to be a pretty solid video generator for the price of Free-For-Me! Not sure how I'll use it or when, but I'm always eager to chuck another tool in my toolbox. $EMPLOYER probably didn't expect or intend for people in my department to utilize these services much, if at all, so I'm trying not to push my luck.

Another thing I've learned in this. Robust Onboarding docs are as important as anything else in a project if you want a successful adoption.

Hot out the gates on Day 2 of the Beta run and things are snappy! I'm super pleased with the current state of things. It'll be interesting to see how 1st shift breaks it next week. That said, tonight is logging and analytics.

🪐✨ ꉣꑀꁲꏳꑀꊯꌈ꒒ ✨🪐 @Peacefulz@infosec.exchange · Apr 23, 2026

It looks like we survived the first night of the Beta launch. I was debugging and live supporting all night, but I think we ended the night with a robust pipeline. Doing analytics tomorrow night.

Live supporting a beta run by yourself is more stressful than I anticipated. People are already breaking my shit in unexpected ways lmao.

trying to think of all the zoomer acronyms out there now. If your acronym contains A, B, V, P, G, M, and/or F, you may want to look it up first lmao.
