Now that I know what to look for, I can normally spot a fellow autistic a mile away. But, before that, I think I was just very good at spotting a fellow weird and wonderful, someone else on the raggedy edge struggling to fit in. As the saying goes, it takes one to know one.

One of my first memories was meeting a kid about my age and my AuDAR going off. I didn't know what it was at that point, of course. I just went through life knowing that sometimes people made me feel a certain way when I met them.

The prize for winning a top spot at the Hackaday SuperCon SAO challenge with my Bendy SAO design was getting 100 copies of it produced and assembled. These bendy boys just arrived this week. They're getting flashed and paired with 3D printed stands, so now I have a cool giveaway for #teardown2025 next week!

That's awesome! Could you say a bit about what these little guys are?
in reply to Nate Gaylinn

@ngaylinn sure! The build is an assembly of 8 PCBs that can pivot around plastic push rivets to change the relative orientation of its four segments while maintaining electrical contact so that the signal controlling the LEDs passes uninterrupted along all the segments. There is a write up of the build here: hackaday.io/project/198408-ben…, though the website isn't displaying correctly

Dear Mr. Takei,

I hear it's going to rain on Trump's parade today.

I sure hope he doesn't think of it as some super secret advanced technology weather control machine; one that both he and the MAGAs are just too stupid to comprehend, let alone operate.

I hope he thinks of it as God telling him to go soak his head.

Sincerely,

-Frank

#ScribesAndMakers 13. Self-promotion day: show us what you're proud of. Let's boost away.
I’m kind of proud of this “marbled embroidery” pattern I’m working on. I had to take a few days off because I got a cramp in my needling hand. I’m proud that I actually took a break! It’s been meditative working on it. It only has satin stitch in different colors. The designer of the pattern suggests colors but you can use whatever you like. The last section will be greys and blues.


"As I mentioned earlier, up to 40 Israeli fighter jets are now in northern Iraq, heading towards Iran. This would be the largest attack on Iran to date."

I like to change up my reading from book to book. Previous audiobook was horror/fantasy and maybe YA. Now I'm listening to The Sleepwalkers by Paul Grossman, which is murder mystery/historical fiction. I'm not more than 10% into it, but so far so good. #AmReading #FridayReads #Books #Bookstodon #Audiobooks #Fiction #Mystery @bookstodon

A question for people who know their AWS:

The technique I'm using on my home server with Fail2Ban - exple.tive.org/blarg/2025/05/2… - is simple: "anyone who gets served up a 404 catches an immediate iptables DROP.

It doesn't look like there's an easy way to get from "AWS WAF rule feeds this visitor a 404 way up here in level 7" to "... next time the firewall or load balancer sees them coming, drop their packets on the floor."

Any way to tie those together in AWS-land?

it's not going to be pretty...

My initial thought was 'EventBridge' but apprently the logs don't contain the response, only the client request info..

The official solution is... custom Python lambda functions to parse the WAF and Application logs:

We made the most of the good weather today on our Scotland adventure, and took the ferry from Orkney main Island to Westray. The goal of the trip was to see some puffins and maybe some seals. Goal achieved! But there are some other things on the island, so we also checked out the ruin of Noltland Castle. Well worth the visit, and a nice view from there, also.
