The music player is now fully loaded up with 150gb of music.

@soapdog I think cover traffic and full encryption is how folks usually go about it. GNUnet is a good example. docs.gnunet.org/latest/about.h

Computer programming is about reading through 20k lines of diff to figure out WTF broke in your dependencies and how to work around it. ☝️🤓👍

@SecureOwl Yeahhhhhh. TBH undocumented user-focused APIs have been my go to. I just inspect what a web app is tying to do and strip it down. Works most of the time until they change something. :P

I opened a technical blog post and left the tab to read later, only to discover it was choking the browser to death with a sudoku-solving neural network embedded as a proof of concept ballooning to 5GB

One of my cats has taken to hanging out in my office more while I work and it's only a little bit distracting.

@SecureOwl Snap! That's a lot cleaner/more simple than I expected. I assume you extracted the auth tokens from user sessions?

Do you have a site that is abandoned or difficult to maintain? 🏚

@sutty can help you recover it and turn it into a preserved site, without exposed databases and panels, greatly reducing the risk of attacks and maintenance work. ❇️

Most importantly, thanks to the integrated @distributedpress support, the renovated website can be automatically published on the Decentralized Web!

@SecureOwl That's cool! Is the code published somewhere I could read? I'd be interested in setting one up too.

Anyone got experience of screen readers on fedi? I can't really see since to eye surgery I want to keep up with you all and have some mental stimulation.

Whenever my screen reader hits a DNA sequence it sounds just like my cat chirping at a bird.

Love having my screen reader freak out repeating strings of ones and zeros or a string of DNA and just get to zone out for a minute trying to find any sort of pattern in the speech.

Software that modifies itself using human language is kinda nest tbh.

are you a full-stack dev with broad, modern JavaScript experience? there’s currently a rare opportunity to join my team and help us keep improving our trust & safety systems 👀 backend stack is MongoDB/Express, frontend is React/RTK jobs.lever.co/vrchat/cda69202-

Social media for the blind:
Bluesky, hardly any Alt Text. To understand an image, you must open the post, tap on the image and hope your screen reader can describe it, or spend a minute or so scanning it.
X, hardly any image descriptions. The built-in AI will try to describe the images which is a major improvement, but you need to wait until the screen reader finishes reading all the info about the post.
Mastodon, loads of image descriptions. What a pleasure it is to browse my timeline here.

Machine learning is one thing. The trouble is in getting it to forget.

Believe it or not, this isn't #Meshtastic or #Meshcore

It's #Reticulum :blobcattoot:
That's right, Reticulum is finally running on microcontrollers and there's so many ways to do it:

github.com/attermann/microReti (C++ implementation of Reticulum; finally getting close to 100% feature complete)
github.com/ratspeak/ratdeck (Pictured T-Deck firmware)
github.com/torlando-tech/pyxis (T-Deck firmware from the maker of Columba)
