#Sciop hit a Petabyte (actually a Pebibyte but nobody knows that word) of total proven capacity a week or two ago. That's all the seeders * the size of the things they are seeding. All volunteers, zero dollars in funding, piggybacking off existing resources wherever we can, run on a donated VPS. This is before we even get into federating archives and are still nailing down the basics of the site.

Peer to peer archives are real and they work, period. 216TiB of threatened cultural, climate, queer, and historical information held in common. That's a people powered archive, and you're welcome in it - to take from, to add to, and help sustain if you can.

Edit: if this is the first you're hearing of sciop, it's at sciop.net

I recently talked with a guy who builds software for small & medium sized German insurance firms and he says almost all of their clients are working on removing US services from their tech stack due to perceiving them as highly risky. This includes cloud services, office tools, AI tools, etc. So far he said the switch is a mixed bag with some successes and some blunders, but the push is very clear.

Highly anecdotal stuff, but maybe this cut is deeper than I expected.

My 2GB `sacrifice.txt` file saves the day again by unblocking my database so I can run maintenance tasks

I wish more front end devs put effort into making their stuff keyboard accessible. Especially on phones.

Devs: Set some time aside this week and see if you can use your app without a mouse or touchscreen.

That time of the year that my matrix server gets borked and I need to figure out what's wrong with it

If computers were good you could use media control keys on tiktok style video apps to go forward/back. Or at least something keyboard accessible that didn't need to simulate a swipe gesture.

Excited for medication to be artificial organs you implant in yourself that help regulate whatever thing is wrong. Grown from your own cells ofc.

I say "future programming" but it is very much reality already. Something like 500 bucks a month to tinker with the torment nexus. finalspark.com/

Future programming will be about simulating reality for a mini human brain to convince it to hallucinate how you want. Arranged in an array so the non conformists get automatically flushed and replaced.

Excited for trained brain organoids to replace digital neural nets. Videogames will be like that minecraft hallucination thing but with meat. A win for nerds cause of cool cartridges you feed candy to for power. Win to capitalism because they'll all eventually die and need to be replaced.

Thankful for every day that I get to sleep in until my body is satisfied and wakes up on its own.

The rain brings a moderate overtone of "wet dog" to the smells of my building.

TIL that bird.makeup also has Instagram and Hacker News support! I really want the insta bridge so I can ditch the insta algo and have my usual cross app lists like I do with Matrix chats.

"LLMs allow dead (or non-verbal) people to speak" - spiritualism/channelling

"what happens when the AI turns us all into paperclips?" - end times prophecy

"AI will be able to magically predict everything" - astrology/tarot cards

"...what if you're wrong? The AI will punish you for lacking faith in Bayesian stats" - Pascal's wager

"It'll fix climate change!" - stewardship theology

Turns out studying religion comes in handy for understanding supposedly 'rationalist' ideas about AI.
