Saaaammmmeeeeeeee
I'm kinds glad I'm by myself the weekend I can just dive into it
Showing activities from people in this circle
My physio, the one who hasn't touched me at all, appears to have diagnosed me with "symptoms of persistent pain and breathing pattern disorder" based on the fact that one time I saw him he said I was breathing like I was in pain and breathing wrong...
Notably, I wasn't breathing like that when I saw him the first time. And the breathing was a symptom of the pain, which nobody is helping me manage including him despite me asking repeatedly.
@alexisbushnell the whole thing is utterly ridiculous, and this failed doctor, sorry Physio is beyond belief
A friend asked me about costs etc. in running my own Mastodon (glitch-soc) instance.
My reply might be useful more broadly:
Costs: I run mine on an Intel NUC, for which I paid about ~£200. But I ran for years on a Raspberry Pi, which was fine until my account got a bit big. It consumes some electricity, and I already have an Internet connection with IPv6 and a spare IPv4. So, incrementally, beyond the cost of the hardware, very little.
Time to set up: it took me about 30 minutes *but* I am already familiar with hardening a Linux server, and I build the basic infrastructure automatically. Honestly, this is the bit that would concern me the most, for someone planning on putting a box on the Internet. But it could also be a fun learning exercise.
Time to maintain: a few minutes a month. Upgrades are easy enough. Backups are automatic (because I have automated them).
@neil if you already have a hosting plan somewhere and you can run php, well you could run starling without the extra energy costs for free.
i just want to be a writer and an artist when i grow up

i'm reading OS papers again now sorry i forgot how 99% of cryptography papers are works of psychological manipulation
One can blame the hash-table implementation for leaking information through timing;
first time any sort of side channel is ever raised
but it is not easy to build an efficient constant-time hash table.
no citation because it's very important to maintain the illusion that no one else in the history of the world has ever considered hash table side channels
Even worse, typical languages and libraries allow applications to see all hash-table entries in order of hash value, and applications often expose this information to
attackers.
absolutely no clue what this means. there's no citation so i'm betting it's not supposed to make any sense
One could imagine changing languages and libraries to sort hash-table entries before enumerating them, but this would draw objections from applications that need the beginning of the enumeration to start quickly.
god i need to stop this makes me want to commit a violent act
One could also imagine changing applications to sort hash-table entries before exposing them to attackers, but ensuring this would require reviewing code in a huge number
of applications.
yeah and your MAC scheme that requires modifying every single hash table ever written somehow avoids "reviewing code"????
We comment that many of the hash-flooding defenses proposed since December 2011 are vulnerable to the same attack.

@RoseRaven we gotta put on these gloves for protection but then we're ready to wield this cockatrice

Bluesky rolling out more direct integration with its "3rd party" ecosystem then Mastodon has is certainly an interesting bullet point on the "whos more decentralized" argument
Waiting for the announcement of Mastodon supporting Pixelfed's post formatting directly with special formatting. Or even just rendering PeerTube videos directly.

"After years of painstaking research in ancient grimoires and microcontroller logic, I have perfected it!" the professor exclaimed.
"What?"
"All printers are possessed. I've made a PDF which performs an exorcism."
"So you print it, and then the printer works?"
"Yes!"
"What if it won't print?"

@RedKoba @michaelgemar @amydiehl I'm pretty sure it's not the autistic ones who are the problem. It's the sociopathic ones we have problems with.
@quixoticgeek @michaelgemar @amydiehl
I was thinking about Altman or Musk, who are diagnosed autistics
Probably sociopaths too but there is no diagnosis yet

Hey locals -
I made local ai_free emojis with different fonts and weighting because I didn't like the weighting on the original ones.
If anyone else wants to copy these versions that's fine.
Q2: What tips do you have to stay focussed on projects? #MakersHour
A2 focus? On projects? Hahahaha hahahaha hahaha.
Sorry, any attempt to offer advice here would just be hypocrisy.

@afreytes oh yeah. incels force themselves into an "unfuckable" category because that reinforces the cult of misogyny. "there must be something wrong with WOMEN if all of us WORTHY men aren't getting laid." women aren't turned on by asthetics but by personality and energy and these men's energy is to act like creeps and fascists.
my advice to these lonely men: get a hobby. abandon your expectations about sex and romance. stop looking at women as a magical other category. learn to treat women as peers and friends. focus less on what you're GETTING from women and more about what you are ADDING to their lives. the rest will come naturally.

Some of these incels are actually good looking young men. If I had their body type (and fair skin) I would be on my 12th divorce by now, LOL
You're not an "incel" you just dont want to stop acting like a fascist asshole.
