Amazing new #C64 demo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mtVDLxgb4A For those unfamiliar with C64 hardware, the CPU is only 1 MHz and it's not fast enough to redraw the whole screen at a usable rate; there is some incredible hardware bending going on here to pull this stuff off!

That reputable news outlets keep talking as if a group of US investors bought the entirety of TikTok and not just a part of its US assets (ecommerce and ad services apparently not included) should make you at least a little bit more skeptical of how they handle tech and business news in general

TikTok has 1.5 billion users globally but only 135 million in the US. It’s not a small or trivial mistake to conflate the two!

I hate to disappoint, but a hobbit has never lived here. It appears to have housed what looks to be a water pump for the hatchery I posted on Thursday.

Our free stickers went like hot cakes yesterday at #FOSDEM. The new "My friends are not for sale" ones are all gone, they were an experimental last-minute print of a new design (which is coming soon as a t-shirt, by the way!). The less stuff for us to carry back home, the better. I wish people would grab the leaflets too!

Zipbomb JSON.

Someone who is not me should formulate a maximally-malicious JSON file. I made one with a nesting depth of ~182 million, but "jq" gives up early, at only around depth 3,000. So one trick would be to find the right balance of nesting and array length that stays under typical parsers' limits as long as possible, while requiring as much RAM as possible to get there.

The image below is of Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D, WA3) US Congresswoman from SW Washington. In between the murder of Renee Good on 7 January and the murder of Alex Pretti on 24 January, Gluesenkamp was one of 7 democrats who voted to fund ICE. The bill would not have passed without them.

She and her husband own Dean's Car Care on NE Lombard in Portland.

Schumer is selling out the American people once again. Giving ICE any money at all is wrong. Even evil.

No more funding for the DHS. Abolish ICE and prosecute all the thugs involved in it. Remove all fascists from all government positions and prosecute all who participated in criminal activity. Help all victims of ICE, and compensate everyone they hurt.

We need leadership that doesn't coddle pedophiles and fascists. Schumer needs to go.
