Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Systeem: "Preview? Nee dat kunnen we niet. Je moet publishen om te zien of het werkt."
Ook systeem: "Ja, je moet wel even handmatig de cache resetten, anders zie je het niet"
Ook systeem: "Je reset de cache te vaak, onze systemen kunnen dit niet aan."
Nou, mijn systeem kan dit niet aan. Error 503. Brain not available.

@baldur It doesn't happen often nowadays that I read something that makes me go "yep, this is what journalism should look like", but this one absolutely fits the bill

swappable battery is cool and all but I wish my phone would allow hotswapping it if plugged into a charger, so it could stay booted (I wouldn't mind modem etc. restarting, just the main OS should stay up imo)

Paar eenvoudige manieren waarop je Palestina en Palestijnen in Gaza kunt steunen:
1. Doneer eSIMs: nog steeds de enige manier voor o.a journalisten en hulpdiensten in Gaza om in contact te kunnen blijven: https://connecting-humanity.org/
Crowdfund: Crips for eSIM: https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza IEDER BEDRAG WELKOM.
2. Voor de verschrikkelijk hoge kosten om te overleven: doneer aan GoFundMe's of via https://gazafunds.com/, en deel ze. IEDER BEDRAG WELKOM.
3. Doe mee met Boycott, Divestment en Sanction: https://bdsnederland.nl/ Gebruik de app Boycat.
4. Blijf praten over Palestina, op je werk, bij je vakbond en politieke partij. Deel info van https://decolonizepalestine.com/ Volg open colleges of een workshop bij Workshops 4 Gaza: https://www.workshops4gaza.com/
5. Zoek je lokale pro-Palestina groep op en overleg of je ze ergens mee kunt steunen. Doe mee aan acties.
6. Steun Palestijnse initiatieven zoals the Sameer Project, Palestine Medical Relief Project en Care for Gaza die directe hulp op de grond geven.

@quinn This seems awfully like Israel's Iron Dome, But In Space
hot take, social media
@KFears I think it's a bit of a "trial by fire" situation; people learn organizing because they *have* to, and in the process learn (some) community building skills.
Unfortunately that's learning to build a *very particular kind* of community, one that aims to fight something that already exists. But once the problem is solved you need a different kind of community, one that *builds things up* and sustains them for the long term, and that requires very different skills.
I don't have concrete data to back this up, but my suspicion is that this might play a role in the tendency for revolutions in dire circumstances to result in decades of misery afterwards; because the revolutions are carried out by battle-minded folks, and they are not prepared to do the second, constructive part of the process.

Folks, if someone in the US wants to study a group of people with a a certain condition, they go to an IRB to get permission. They have to decide if the research will use identifiable information. If the data contain identifiers, you essentially always have to get permission from each and every patient, and that permission has to be specific to the exact use of their data.
You don’t “make a registry” of everyone with a disease. Bad people do that. Nazis. Insurance execs. Bad people.

Apps that log you out because you haven’t used the app in over a week. WHY? It’s isn’t even a crucial app like a bank or something.

Wizards of the Coast did as they promised, and released a System Reference Document (that is, the basic rules and game mechanics) for the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons under an extremely open Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0) licence.
D&D isn't necessarily the game for *you*, but it *is* historically significant and still extremely popular, and I think it's cool that any part of it is available under such a licence.

With both #Eurovision and the Papal conclave happening in May, it’s gonna be a big month for Europeans who love overly complex, confusing and dramatic ways to select a winner that are run by international bureaucracies, include smoke for dramatic effect and feature excessively extra outfits

@anildash Several years ago we created a man-in-the-middle system - basically a two port Ethernet bridge - that implemented what we called a "constipation engine".
It would recognize an incoming TCP connection and based on supplied criteria would distinguish between connections to be allowed and those to be constipated.
The TCP constipation manipulated the TCP window size parameters so that from the attacker's point of view a TCP connection would be open and in a connected state but the data flow would be a trickle. Thus a web page fetch, nominally very fast could span many minutes, even hours,
Most attackers, driven by software not people, would not notice this slow down of data delivery to a few bytes every few seconds.
Although this would not stop web scraping it would slow the attacker to a crawl, likely preventing it from ever finishing its scraping or moving on to other victims.
The cost for the website was basically some TCP state control blocks in memory and very little CPU or network I/O burden.

So far on #EarthDay walk, I’ve seen Lilac, Periwinkle & Lavender flowers! It is really cool to meet the namesakes of our human colors. 💜
I was amazed when I met Fuscia a few years ago!!
Do you have any favorite color-namesakes? Please tell or show me about the pretty things
