Mastodon Digest

New #blogpost

I added a button to share my posts to #Mastodon directly! Thought it looked nice, so yeah. Not much else this time around...

Just day 28 of #100DaysToOffload

Who says there's nothing good on Craigslist anymore?

Now *this* is the real “vibe-coding”, folks!!

If you ask AI to rewrite the entirety of an open-source program, do you still need to abide by the original license? In philosophy, this problem is known as the Slop of Theseus

I guess the #AILaunderimg of #FOSS software licenses through "clean room re-implementations" will bring up aspects of having to maintain that laundered shit like anything else, not-so-clean-blatant-theft / license violations, lots of stuff not written about in documentation and complex interdependencies in software ecosystems.

I finally got around to assembling the #LEGO 41757 Botanical Garden and 42669 Beekeepers' House and Flower Garden sets over the last few evenings and they are magnificent!

The Botanical Garden building is such an elegant looking structure. I really like how the Beekeepers' House and Flower Garden set is three modules that can be detached from the house.

I also noticed that a number of the parts were PAB wall offerings over the last year.

Now to see if I can combine them into a small diorama.

#BoreDa bawb. Off i'r gwaith. Mae hi'n bwrw glaw eto. Mae gan Fam Alfred apwyntiad y prynhawn 'ma, wedyn, mae gynnon ni gwaith arall. Efallai, mwy o sortio yn y cyfamser.

#GoodMorning everyone. Off to work. It's raining again. Mam Alfred has an appointment this afternoon, then we have another job. Maybe, more sorting in the meantime.

Der Sountrack von World of Warcraft: Midnight ist einfach der beste WoW Soundtrack ever!

Also generell ist die Expansion sehr schön aber der Soundtrack? WOAH!

Edit: Der Track Aln‘hara gibt „Ethno/World-Music“-Vibes - aber auf die gute Art. Und gibt es eigentlich ne bessere Bezeichnung für das Genre?

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. I'm awake at stupid o'clock again, so you get to read this in "the future". We are off to Keith and Banff today, MrsD wants to go to the Spotty Bag shop, shopping. Wesley will have gentle fun on the beach, if the tide is out.

Have a perfect end to the work week, have fun, laughs, cheese and onion pasties. Take care.

Today's photo is a neighbour. I think he's been stuck in his shed too long!

Submitted!

I am an astronomer who has asked nicely for years for SpaceX to be safer in orbit, think about ways to use fewer satellites, think about the consequences of burning up so many satellites, and think about ways to make their satellites darker. This filing proposing a million satellites is a clear "fuck you" from SpaceX to the entire astronomy community, as well as the entire planet.

So, fuck you, too, SpaceX!

It seems that nearly every site/blog I visited lately were in dark mode, with no light mode option, and a few of them were incompatible with browser reader modes.

Please at least follow the system settings 🥺

My own sites suck at #accessibility and I aim to learn how to do better, but this is a low hanging fruit.

Spanje boos om Merz' zwijgen in Oval Office, Europese eenheid onder druk - https://nos.nl/l/2605081

'Waar de meeste wereldleiders president Trump met fluwelen handschoenen benaderen, is de houding van Sánchez een stuk feller.

...

No a la guerra" herhaalde hij een paar keer: "Nee tegen oorlog". Ruim twintig jaar geleden gebruikten linkse partijen in Spanje dat motto toen de toenmalige premier José Aznar besloot de Amerikaanse inval in Irak te steunen.'

Found out this morning that there's a Feminist Civil Servant Network for all government workers, who are organizing events for International Womens day. Best believe I joined them <3 ☕

For all the Proton fans

I thought the sign read
“Haiku Club” not “Hiking Club.”
We walked for hours. Hours.

La réunion commence

I am convinced we are on the verge of the first "AI agent worm". This looks like the closest hint of it, though it isn't it quite itself: an attack on a PR agent that got it to set up to install openclaw with full access on 4k machines https://grith.ai/blog/clinejection-when-your-ai-tool-installs-another

But, the agents installed weren't given instructions to *do* anything yet.

Soon they will be. And when they are, the havoc will be massive. Unlike traditional worms, where you're looking for the typically byte-for-byte identical worm embedded in the system, an agent worm can do different, nondeterministic things on every install, and carry out a global action.

I suspect we're months away from seeing the first agent worm, *if* that. There may already be some happening right now in FOSS projects, undetected.

And that's how I ended up on mastodon

Very dramatic and beautiful sunrise this morning

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"

The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc

Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!

Ich lass mir doch von @marcuwekling nicht vorschreiben, wann ich meinen #diday mache. Hab jetzt einfach so auf nem Mittwoch #peertube runtergeladen.

I just beat the Guinness world record for speed-picking by 4 seconds!

Single-pin-picking, 8 differently-keyed, 4-pin, standard¹ padlocks, in 56 seconds.

And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.

¹ the current record holder used laminated Master locks with no security pins, but I didn't want all the comments on my video to be "Master lock sucks" jokes, so I used Brinks instead.

A day as good as any other to bring back this excellent design by danadrewdles (on redbubble and instagram if you want to find her).

Python Tip: Context Managers

from contextlib import contextmanager

@contextmanager
def timer():
start = time.time()
yield
print(f'Took {time.time()-start:.2f}s')

with timer():
heavy_computation()

Create your own context managers with @contextmanager. Clean resource management and timing.

"Darling, I told you several times before. I have no dream job, I do not dream of labor."

We are Abhorrence.

And by we I mean me, for now.
Trying to keep this as the only social media platform for the band. Mostly run by the vocalist Jukka, again, for now.

Feel free to ask anything related to the band. I'll answer anything I want, at which point all opinions are personal and reflect the sarcasm or deliberate confusion deemed appropriate at that precise moment.
