Just watched Forgotten Island. Pretty good. But I have to admit the best part was Raww. Kinda love him. A lot.
Those wings were an… interesting… idea… too… holy crap. Not sure whether they count as body horror or fantasy.
I forgot how much of a monument to imperialism the British Museum is
also anyone have the number for the Metropolitan Police? they might want to know about the stolen artefacts
Back in about August, Youtube suggested this to me: it was raining outside so i made this
I liked it, and I've been suggesting it on The8bitDrummer's suggestion list and finally today he happened to pick it. Start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/live/cEDe4YoozV0?t=9210s His audience seemed to get into it too judging from the chat.
And his comments afterwards start here: https://www.youtube.com/live/cEDe4YoozV0?t=9456s
I think it went down really well. Feeling good! =^.^=
@ThePhoenix Aaah, I think you may be referring to this? https://www.aa.net.uk/ethernet/
I think (and their FAQ agrees) that's basically a leased line. I got some quotes for one a while back and the cheapest symmetric 1Gbps to this address was about £300/month (and I don't think it got much cheaper to reduce the data rate), so I'm not jumping on that particularly quickly. It's an option if I really need it. (There's also the 2-3 year typical minimum term to consider, given that I'm also trying to work out whether I want to change career.) I was hoping to have what I had at the old house: two *consumer* (i.e. cheap) internet access services with tunnels over each to my datacentre network and OSPF doing redundant routing over them.
A year ago I made Wellness Ping because someone I care about went silent and it took too long for anyone to notice.
v2.0 is now out.
It now works entirely over Signal, usernames or phone numbers, both for your check-ins and for your emergency contacts. Email isn't safe for everyone to use, but it's still there.
Three new security modules, all optional, stack as many as you want: PIN, authenticator 2FA, and passkeys.
The PIN has a duress option. Enter that one instead and your contacts get alerted immediately, while your screen says everything went fine. (really proud of this one. tweaked to the point of obsession so that response time for a duress PIN matches a normal one. nothing on your screen or in the timing gives it away.)
Also added vacation pause and custom alert messages, both of which people asked for.
v2.0 got a full security review before release. The check-in path is much harder to spoof now. Details in the release PR.
Free forever (as long as I'm alive) and open source.
oh and btw, the person who went missing, for whom I made this originally, turned out to be okay. It took a lot of time and a lot of effort to find them, but I did actually find them. I thought you might want to know that.
Public Service Announcement for Drivers
The clocks changed. It’s dark. Set your lights to auto.I see so many cars with lights off!
If you don’t have auto remember to switch from daytime running lights to dipped headlights from 3ish when it gets dark.
Check both your headlights actually work too!
We've hit a point where we're using LLM's to search for vulnerabilities in software and exploit them, while other people are using LLM's to find those vulnerabilities and fix them. And this is quickly starting to force software development at rates that are too fast for human beings to keep up with.
So the software that should never have existed, (LLMs,) is allowing for exploitation at record speeds, and the people trying to stop that are then forced to use those same LLM's because people can't keep up with the pace of those machines. The LLM's created the issue and are now being used to try and fix the issue created by the LLMs.
And at the end of the day, human developers and software engineers are the ones that are being pushed out of the loop.
We're quickly moving towards a point where all software development has to be done with LLM's because no human being will be capable of handling the pace of exploitation from LLM's. Where the human element of programming will be totally removed outside of hobbyists. Or the people in alternative spaces where the fast pace of the WWW just doesn't touch. At least not yet.
Yeah, that's a conclusion I share. I wish we lived in a world that was kinder to LLM-vegans (or LLM pacifists?), but there's an arms race going on involving most of the world's existing software. And since the arms race seems to favor those playing offense,,we're not quite sure what's going to be left of it once the dust settles.
Let alone if it was worth defending in the first place.
This does not mean that a lot of LLM use is not gratuitous, grotesque or both.
The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear.
"Why bad art?" I ask.
"It is brave", the God replies.
"To try and fail?"
"No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."
@Darkhorse WinterWolf 🇪🇺 To be honest it's more the need to keep updating things and the number of things I've ended up looking after that can't easily be updated (or can't be updated at all) than any actual compromise I've had to respond to (thankfully I haven't had that in a long time). When reading about PHP2Shell there was a mention of an event of some kind back in August where apparently some company spent a lot of AI time finding a huge number of latent security bugs, so it could just be that this is a transient wave of disclosures and updates and that it'll die down as there are fewer bugs that current LLMs are capable of finding. But that's really just a guess.
(Ah yes, there it is: "as part of the OpenAI "Patch the Planet" project in August 2026" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP2Shell)

A post-party mess. The little robot vacuum slid around the penthouse apartment cleaning up crumbs, champagne, and broken glass.
The music had been loud enough to rattle its bristles, rowdy laughter had assaulted its sensors. Then there'd been a torn sleeve. Sobbing. Stumbling steps.
Now there was its owner, the cause of the sobs by the balcony. One little scoot, a little scooch, under one foot, the other. The trash screamed all the way down.
When you're on the boat, you have to find the skipper!

I've yet to see a human endeavour which isn't about money and power.
Computers were not a mistake.
The Internet was not a mistake.
The mistake was allowing everything to be about money and power rather than community building.
Here's Vaelen the marten.
This time I wanted to play around a little with lighting, shadows, and perspective, trying out a different angle with the sunlight hitting him. Mostly just experimenting and having fun with it!

Everyone took the shortcut through the graveyard.
It closed at night, but I was in a hurry, and the groundskeepers were busy watching The Big Game. They hadn't even seen me fall over the gate.
My phone lit the path.
A crack of wood made me jump. The gnarled hands clawing through the dirt made me freeze.
The zombie pointed at me, "Give phone!"
The rest of my walk was dark but I could still hear the zombie cheering its favorite team.

Structurally, it’s gonna be like the house the Springfield townspeople rebuilt for Ned Flanders.
Todd: “I don’t like this clown!” (removes poster)
Bart: “I wouldn’t do that if I were you, that’s a load-bearing poster.” (wall begins to crumble)
I think the scarier part isn’t the walls that immediately crumble, but when they put in a dangerously flawed foundation that people will believe to be solid - until it’s suddenly proven that it’s not.
