Welcome to ✨Shark after Dark✨

Less-than-stellar and likely reality-detached toots, e.g. infosec meta-commentary, technology rants, life quibbles, whatever.

Here to clutter your timeline via this social horcrux.

I was de-skilling myself before AI made it cool thank you very much.

Bluesky is microblogging for people who don't microblog, mixed with career capital-p Posters, and it's glued all together with liberalism's worst impulses.

And honestly, god bless you if this is not your experience. But I've never had fun scrolling BS. It's like a parody of liberal late-stage Twitter and Shrimp-Jesus Facebook. If they don't figure a way to make some homegrown celebrity posters soon, it's a wrap, I think. And I sincerely do not hope for that outcome because Meta benefits.

Ok everyone, Shark After Dark is back! (At least for now). My GtS hosting provider went bankrupt and with it, malici.ous.computer 😒. Did I migrate my followers back here? Nope. Did I remember to get a backup of that GtS instance? Nope! If you were following (for whatever reason) @shellsharks (the alternate GtS account [email protected]), you might want to follow this account now.

What is this account? Look at the profile description 🦈 πŸŒ™ 😁

Woo!

My TV show pitch is Storage Wars but with abandoned S3 buckets

Your Mastodon Wrapped 2024

it’s reassuring to know that the most vocal leftist influencers are laser-focused on the greatest challenge of our time: the size of their audience on bluesky

Its this kinda post on Bluesky that should worry folks imo.

- Subscriptions coming soon! - Like is this a good thing? I mean sure, this might be a better funding model than VC, but it spells content lock behind a paywall
- No ads (yet lol)
- No "pay to win” - see bullet 1?
- "No reason to worry” - like what? I wasn't until you said something... 😬
- They "trust the bluesky team with their life”? - fanatical?

Oh and they disabled replies because they knew they'd be dragged, even ON Bluesky

Bluesky at ~10m users --> works great!

Bluesky at ~20m users --> "Internal Server Error"... or "NotEnoughResources"

Maybe some more VC $$ needed for server scaling 😬
