- they/them, he/him, whatever, it's not like I have any idea either 🙃
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.

You know those shaped-plastic blister packages that a lot of products are sold in, filling up your plastic waste bin? Here's an easy way to (partly) reuse them if you have a vegetable garden! All you need is scissors and some way to label things.
A lot of this style of packaging has large rectangular flat areas of plastic; almost always on the back of the package, sometimes areas on the front too. Find all of them and cut them out, so you're left with a stack of flat, rectangular(-ish) pieces of plastic.
Then just cut those rectangles into strips of about 5-10cm. They don't need to be cut nicely, they just serve as posts for your labels! Then either print labels and stick them on or, alternatively, write on them with a thin permanent marker.
Now you have tags for your plants, without needing to buy a bunch of new plastic ones!
Doing lots of sowing of plants today. Window sills are getting full!
@gsuberland So, funny thing, neither have I, I think! It doesn't seem to be generally available in stores here. I'll be planting it this year, though.
@silvermoon82 I've heard of something similar being used as a pretext for scams, fwiw.

Today Google bricked my Chromebook by force-installing a hidden extension that trains a machine vision model on the contents of my screen without my consent, making the whole machine too hot to touch, and I am once again begging someone, anyone, to remove Chrome from Google by any means necessary.
Sowieso moet het eens klaar zijn met die visexpedities ("grote veiligheidscontroles") van politie. Het zal ongetwijfeld goed zijn voor het boetequotum, maar het doet nul komma niks voor de structurele veiligheid en fungeert vooral als manier voor agenten om eens even lekker los te gaan met hun macht.

that may be your experience, but the stopped clock machine has been right or close enough in my personal testing and the benchmarks

My new hobby: when I see a white dude (yes, he's always white, and always a dude) whining about people being wrong for blocking people too much, I block him.
Block blockity.
Chard is a magical vegetable, it seems. Its leaves substitute spinach, its stems substitute asparagus and such, you can continuously harvest it and it just regrows, the planting is "whatever, as long as there's vaguely some sun somewhere", and in some cases it'll even continue growing through winter
"Zo'n honderd controleurs van de NS en politiemensen hebben donderdag meegedaan aan een grote veiligheidscontrole. [...] Hij stapt op de trein naar Vlissingen en komt bij controles van alles tegen. "Bedelaars, [...]"
Dit soort shit is dus wat mensen bedoelen met "criminaliseren van armoede". Of je ondersteunt die mensen eens, in plaats van ze als 'veiligheidsprobleem' te behandelen. Klootzakken.

Kijk eens aan de @gemeenteamsterdam is lekker bezig: https://www.amsterdam.nl/nieuws/nieuwsoverzicht/digitale-onafhankelijkheid/
Zaten er maar meer onderdelen van de gemeente op hun mastodon server. 🙏
@navi Right. The 'correct' way to handle this sort of thing would be to do 'rolling' migrations, in that upon auth, the password gets re-hashed with the currently-default algorithm and stored. But almost nobody actually implements that. It's annoying.
@navi The simpler solution would be to just use argon2id, tbh, which is a better option than bcrypt in basically every respect
@navi ... aha. Previously it was stored in plaintext.
@navi I'm really curious now what they are migrating *from*, exactly...
(The 72 character limit is actually a limit of bcrypt itself and I'm not really sure why they're migrating *to* bcrypt in 2025)

just saw the best sponsor segue ever on a youtube video. "and speaking of leaking highly classified military information, today's video is sponsored by Warthunder"

Any tech that 80% works, but is 15% meh, and 5% catastrophic will fill the air with overwhelmingly positive case studies, the "meh" crowd won't be motivated to say anything because they think they're the exception, and the rest will be too busy digging themselves out of the rubble to say much if anything

Someone is trying to impersonate me on telegram reaching out to my followers who are interested in commissioning me.
🚨 please be aware this is not me! It’s a scam trying to get people to pay for commissions they’ll never receive.
I am not on telegram

if you're a student and you're not using LLMs just stick with it you are going to be running absolute mental circles around your peers by the time you graduate
