Using the mouse-driven graphical user interface of a personal computer to write a document with a WYSIWYG word processor, check new messages with an email client, and create an organization chart with a drawing program. Just an ordinary day at Xerox PARC in 1978. When email spam was apparently already a thing.

The demo features the Alto workstation and the Bravo word processor. You can hear the noise of the hard disk.

No Tom's Hardware The Pi Cast this week. I've got a really good excuse though. Power company is upgrading the local substation, so 600+ houses will have no power for most of tomorrow.

It's the risk we take for revealing pieces of ourselves to each other, but what you did, trying to protect me, was an act of love, and you should hever feel ashamed for that. If there's any part still listening, protect us again, Zero. Break free from their hold. Reistance is not futile"

Just published the Online Safety Act pages for my two web applications.

Viking Mind (bookmarks, out of scope):

vikingmind.uk/online-safety-ac…

Pick a Date (polls + votes, in scope):

pickadate.uk/online-safety-act

Pick a Date will probably go through a couple more versions to tighten things up. I've also disabled comments on all my blogs.

Feels like a waste of time, but there's no exemption for small / low risk sites.

The image features a close-up of an animated character with a bald head and a prominent white mustache. The character's expression is one of distress, with blood visibly dripping from his nose and mouth. The background is a clear blue sky with some clouds. At the top of the image, the text "Forever DMs" is displayed, and at the bottom, the text "I am a victim of my own success" is shown. The character's eyes are half-closed, and his mouth is open, revealing his teeth and the blood. The overall tone of the image is humorous, with the text suggesting a relatable situation for those familiar with the context of "DMs" (direct messages) in online communities.

QC pass. Bought some Ali Pozidriv impact bits to replace the ones that shattered in cold weather driving a big screw into a frozen stump at max torque.

The stump is frozen again, so I drove the same screw, which this time broke the screw, not the bit. Another went in fine (at the top highest torque setting of the impact driver).

So according to my not peer reviewed research, these are better than Bosch and Forte Tools 👍

in reply to Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar

I like those mechanical bit holders, but those seem to be the weak link when used with impact drivers. Not like they break but bits get stuck in them so you have to pull them out with significant force.
in reply to Krahabors

@krahabors Yup, but that also is a mark of quality of the bit (or holder). Some do fit more precisely than others.

Plus it's a sacrifical part. Better that thing breaks than the driver chuck.

The Covid lockdown began in California five years ago today. Many of us turned to sourdough baking for consolation.

Not surprisingly I’m back at it.

We may have lost our democracy but at least I’ve gained the perfect sourdough bagel.

LLM crawlers are aggressively destroying important community infrastructures but sadly there is not an easy fix. Still: Blocking those crawlers should be high on your list of todos

Something that continues to stand out to me, is how most of this highly abusive traffic originates from the big cloud providers.

If smaller hosting providers originated this much abuse and didn't put effective mitigations in place, they would get cut off from their upstreams without a second thought, and listed on 'abusive networks' toplists.

But apparently it's "fine" if the big cloud companies do it, and there's neither recourse nor consequences.

Did anyone buy the Raspberry 500 or the new monitor?

I use the monitor and Pi 500 everyday, primarily for keeping an eye on 3d prints and running LLMs locally.

Here's the video I made when it first came out:

@blaine no bullshit, if that was me I'd cancel & tell them exactly why. I emphasize that I am NOT saying not doing that is wrong; this is entirely a personal decision - but at present, wild horses couldn't drag me into the US.
in reply to JWcph, Radicalized By Decency

@jwcph yeah, if I were in Europe and travelling on a European passport, I don't think this would be happening. As it is, I'm just driving across on a Canadian passport and I'm not getting paid so it's a very straightforward B1 visa-on-arrival of the sort I've had many dozens of times. It's insane to think that there's any concern about it.
