Hey #decentralization people, I am hosting my own server now which means I no longer benefit from the server wide timelines. So I am trying to follow more accounts. Can you recommend me some?

I am interested in:

#decentralisation
#localfirst
#p2p
#CreativeWriting
#filmisnotdead
#indieweb

Plz boost so I can find cool stuff.

@quixoticgeek interesting edit: chess is not gender segregated the way you describe. There's just more men playing chess so there's a lot fewer women in the top rankings.

The running time is overlong, and the script rambly. A lot happens, but none of it really has time to breathe. Much as I enjoy Anthony Hopkins, I'm not sure his biographer character's leisurely teatime conversations with an older version of Downey Jr's Chaplain really added much to the film other than minutes of runtime. That that could perhaps had been better spent expanding on some of the events of his early life.

But it was worth watching for Downey's physical comedy alone.

@Rairii@labyrinth.zone @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange @gsuberland@chaos.social @munin@infosec.exchange My comment was mostly a joke, but if you want to take it more seriously I don't see an unintended interaction between a boot time feature and your own OS's disk encryption as distinct from it seeming rushed. That's exactly the type of interaction you should be spending the time to think about when delivering this type of feature. Of course, sometimes something slips through even if you have put all the time and effort in but... it's not inspiring from the outside.

@Niggibib Jupp, hatte ich gelesen und bin dann lieber in der anderen Session sitzen geblieben 🫠

I am moving to a usage-based billing

Dear employer, I will no longer charger a flat monthly salary, instead I will move to token based billing. Included will be every token I receive as input, including but not limited to emails, slack messages, spoken words and mandatory multi-modal meetings that could have been emails. Included will also be output tokens in the form of code, documentation and small talk. Tokens will also be consumed by my internal monolog as I reason about problems.

@ben Happy to hear! Looking forward to see what comes down the road.

Uns erreichen immer wieder Fragen zu unserem Tech-Setup. Insbesondere warum wir auf die Gefahren, die von Big-Tech ausgehen hinweisen und gleichzeitig teilweise deren Lösungen nutzen.

Es gibt natürlich eine einfache Antwort: Geld! Je komplexer der technische Aufwand, desto teurer die Entwicklung und der Betrieb der Lösung. Wir sind keine IT-Firma - wir machen Fun Facts 🎉

Aber wir wollen euch an ein paar konkreten Beispielen erklären, wie wir diesbezüglich vorgehen.

@fuzzyleapfrog Viel Platz war nicht mehr

@njf @koos I don't understand this claim. The Census Bureau could easily generate a list of U.S. residents and their geographical addresses, with no other information. That is all one needs to draw electoral districts.

Aand now comes the first slot where I did not need to think which track to watch.

I have zero interest in AI infested things, so I'm gonna stay at the compiler track.

I’m still waiting for someone to match my foolishness, and quote (me on ADRs):

“Decisions are central, and it is a great
template, but you can just hear the
captain in the cockpit yelling "pull up,
pull up" — we'll run into a veritable
forest of decision trees if we speed too
far too fast down that runway just now.
Which decisions?”

lol.

Lesson: friends don’t let friends write stuff, or something like that :)

Security engineer Kabir Acharya has a good op-ed out on how frontier AI models have effectively killed the Capture-the-Flag competition scene, as most competitions don't measure human skill anymore
