don’t want to give this too much attention, has anyone seen this?

a whole suit of shamelessly generated #gnome slop apps. the music app is an obvious copy of Amberol!

We are quickly forgetting so many lessons we learnt as a society from Covid and lockdowns:-

We can function without billionaires, but not shop assistants and cleaners.

People are the economy. Seperating the two is ridiculous

Wealth is no indicator of ability or intellect

We need less stuff than we think

We can cut CO2 emissions and improve work life balance simply by working from home. Very few offices are needed.

Homelessness can be solved overnight

PSA: If you block the `claude` user on GitHub, you'll get a warning every time you view a repo with that user in its commit history.

Now, the moment you look at a repo, you can immediately adjust your expectations.

Today in InfoSec Job Security News:

I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically.

So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.

As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.

I've redone my network router configuration for Debian. Now based on systemd-networkd and its DHCP server, and unbound for DNS. Previously dnsmasq, but it became problematic (e.g., gave same IP to different MACs at the same time).

So far so good. Missing from new system is automatically adding DNS entries to unbound when DHCP gives a lease and the client provided a hostname. Couldn't figure out how to get the IP/hostname-in-DHCP-request data from the DHCP server. IP/MAC is easy, but not enough.

Large language models do not think and do not feel.

Therefore large language models must not behave as if they are human.

I continued work on the Obnam server API. The server can now generate API tokens and validate them on the command line. This is preparation for requiring valid tokens for HTTP API requests.

Obnam is my backup program, in development.

I started work on the Obnam server API. Mostly grunt work today: split the crate into two (client, server), and added scaffolding for server program (config files, PASETO token handing).

Obnam is my backup program.
