I'm really really liking GTS so far, dang. I'll give it a few days and then do a migration, I guess. Feel free to follow this account. I'm going to be posting primarily from here and boosting from toot.cat for now.

can someone remind me what I need to do so people's posts and accounts actually show up for me when using a single-person instance? Cause I keep going to accounts and they say "0 posts"...

And the code is now live! https://source.tube/neatnik/php-ircv3-filehost

It works, but still hasn’t been tested exhaustively, and definitely needs some more thought put into the list of allowed file types.

I’ll soon update my IRC guide (https://www.neatnik.net/setting-up-an-irc-server/) with detailed instructions on how to get this up and running on Ergo IRC servers.

rumour has it that ukraine has started deploying graphite bombs with drones in occupied ukraine.

graphite bombs are a nonlethal munition where they basically drop graphite strings over power infrastructure and let shorts take out the system. the idea behind graphite weapons is to take out power for a short while while you attack and watch everything fall apart without grid power.

they're traditionally deployed by fighter jets and cruise missiles, that sort of thing. and if the rumours are true, ukraine has brought them down to drone costs.

god if this isn't a summary of everything pissing me off these days I don't know what is https://aria.dog/barks/every-platform-is-hitler/ (from @woof )

“The only reason you’re still on Twitter is that you defend Trump. That you’re still on Bluesky is that you support ICE. That you’re still on Reddit is that you hate minorities. That you’re still on Discord that you want to enable Palantir. That you’re still on Substack that you love nazis.” Then the alternative they propose is something like Mastodon: Linux-ass user-hostile janky tech you can’t convince your friends to join, that cuts down your reach by 20, and that still has a nazi problem anyway.

More breathless, but vague praise for #Mythos. Now #mozilla's CTO has come out with a detail-free, hyperbole-laden blog post.

I can't get anything below the surface level on this blog post. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

  • The blog post itself contains no links or references (except a link to a prior blog post)
  • The Firefox 150 release notes has zero mentions of #Claude, #Anthropic, or Mythos.
  • The security advisories in Firefox 150 lists 41 bugs
    • Anthropic is credited exactly 3 times.
    • The blog post says This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation
    • it is not clear why the blog says 271, the release lists 41 issues, and only 3 acknowledge Anthropic
  • I've tried looking on Mozilla's bugzilla and I have no access to any bug that is named in those release notes. I can't even see the conversation, much less the code change.

How is someone supposed to put this blog post's claims into context?

Mastodon servers can optionally be run in "limited federation mode", also known as "allowlist mode" or "isolated mode".

In that mode the server doesn't communicate at all with any other servers, unless the admin has specifically added a server to their "allowlist".

Isolated servers are much safer but less busy, and generally created by admins who want to make a private network rather than be part of a larger social network. More info at:

"people are stupid" "people are insane" "we deserve this" "we aren't fit to govern ourselves" - these are the worst parts of yourself talking. it doesn't lead anywhere useful or good.
despair is understandable. but what you say on a public forum is what you are adding to the world.
some days we can't give our best. but it's always possible to avoid giving your worst.
