- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
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
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.

us pol, uvada/buffalo/orange county massacre, gun violence
like how are basketball coaches and players speaking better about this. how is the fucking president like oh how sad we should do something about this. how are we supposed to grieve if there is not enough time between traumas to find air much less take it in. i know people want rage, want action, and im trying to get there but i am so scooped out hopeless and sad in this moment and i need to be in this moment, im sorry.
Arrrrgh, so much refactoring today
This won't be news to any of the Dutch folks, but a travel tip for everybody else: if you like fantasy and fairy tales (or just generally good vibes really), then you absolutely *have* to visit this place, even if you don't like thrill rides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzESKugOV4o
This is legit one of my favourite places in the world, for reasons that are difficult to put into words

Really hate this war on scrollbars web devs are doing
people complain about JS dependency trees but wait until you see my mental chores dependency tree
contains code, screenreader-unfriendly
More seriously, if you're running system graphs, I *strongly* recommend adding an 'excess load average' metric, which shows you not just the load average but how much of it exceeds the available CPU cores. Below 0% = healthy system, above 0% = overloaded system. Much more representative than load averages themselves!
This is the Prometheus query I use:
(avg by(instance)(node_load1)) - (count(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode=\"idle\"}) without (cpu,mode,job))
At least it's a pretty good stress test for my scraping server I guess

Auf https://direkt.bahn.guru/ gibt es jetzt eine Filter-Option, um nur Züge des Nah- und Regionalverkehrs anzuzeigen
The performance is currently, uh, very bad: https://metrics.cryto.net/d/M6VEBtLnz/scraper?orgId=1&refresh=5s&viewPanel=5
(Yes those are minutes)
Today's scheduled project: hopefully *finally* fixing my scraper DB query performance, so that the scraper behind my datasheet search engine (https://seekseek.org) can finally run at full speed again.

I'm sure that the increasing amount of spam originating from GMail means that GMail will promptly keep out the spammers from their service or risk defederation. Right???
(Who am I kidding, of course not, nobody significant is gonna block GMail)

I love how most people provide alt text for their images. This is amazing and so helpful. Thank you everyone and keep using alt text!!!

However, while performing a security audit of the DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser, security researcher Zach Edwards discovered that while the browser blocks Google and Facebook trackers, it allowed Microsoft trackers to continue running.
DuckDuckGo CEO and Founder Gabriel Weinberg confirmed that their browser intentionally allows Microsoft trackers third-party sites due to a search syndication agreement with Redmond.

Good morning to everyone except the guy running a leaf blower in the parking lot behind my bedroom window, at 7:30 this morning.
