Why mask?

Before covid i used to get sick 2 or 3 times a year, knocked out for a week or two each time.
Since then i've been consistently masking indoors and on public transit. It's been about 7 years since the last time i was sick. I think i gotten sniffles twice since then, barely lasting a day, and that's it.
So this little habit have accumulated me about 6 months of extra quality lifetime, and counting.

That's one reason.

Happy Internation Bunny Day!

I drew a Hare lmao

It’s that time of year. CA glue bottle for scale.

A lot of devs are obviously struggling with complex communication problems currently, so as someone with a modest linguistics background, I offer this helpful template:

"We do not allow LLM generated code in our project's codebase."

(last year someone raged about it being embarrassing twee Britishness nonsense and yes, that’s kind of the point, I wanted to establish a ‘day’ and deliberately picked something extremely trivial & uncool. I would probably find it mildly annoying if I hadn’t invented it!)

Hey, so, anyone out there looking to hire a remote nerd? I've spent the past 4-5 years doing threat hunting, detection engineering, threat intel, and incident response for large US West utilities. Gotta be full WFH though due to health reasons. Non-LinkedIn, non-ghost job links appreciated.

Saying an OpenAI agent hacked a government website is like saying a gun killed someone. Let’s be clear about responsibility: OpenAI weaponized its own software, and employees from OpenAI used it to hack an Australian government website.

Running a Mastodon server is becoming increasingly problematic due to GenAI.

There’s multiple different things happening, including but not limited to:

- very aggressive scraping of user content and block evasion, with the resource costs that come with it

- AI agents aggressively trying to register accounts and evade restrictions

- rising cost of RAM - Mastodon is memory hungry, RAM is really expensive now

It’s odd to experience first hand, it’s like being consumed by.. a void.
