RustFS, a distributed object storage system written by LLMs, but in rust so it's fine everything is fine, hardcoded a fully privileged API token, apparently from Alpha.13 through Alpha.77.

If you're running any of those versions, probably you want to upgrade asap.

No one tells you just how much work goes into a small YouTube channel. For me, Terminal Tilt is a labor of love, but it is a massive undertaking:

Research and Writing: This is the largest portion. Not just diving into topics, but finding ones truly worth your time.

Filming and Privacy: I have chosen a "headless" approach (screen-only). It respects my privacy and helps me manage the workload, but it still requires a lot of setup.

Voiceovers: This is the hardest part for me. Managing social anxiety while recording is a constant hurdle, but it is one I am getting better at with every video.

Editing: I am currently spending 8โ€“12 hours per video (since last video). As I learn more techniques, the complexity grows, but so does the quality.

The small Stuff: Learning GIMP for thumbnails and managing promotion. Those little things really do add up.

I am disabled and currently navigating the long road to SSDI approval. My goal is to grow Terminal Tilt into something sustainable, a way to support myself while advocating for ethical, #NoAI, and #deGoogled technology. I am taking this seriously and I am having a lot of fun building this.

If you value independent, human-made tech content, there are a few ways to help keep the terminal open:

Thank you all for the follows, the boosts, and the support. It means the world to have your backing as I build an independent channel focused on what actually works, not just what's trending.

Just got a small cluster of @technitium DNS servers set up on my homelab. So far, so good! Impressed with the features and performance seems great! #homelab #selfhosting

Finally got SSH to proxy through Pangolin to my Forgejo instance :D It is fully functional now! I started migrating some repos from GitHub and Codeberg. It's a pretty seamless, snappy process.

I have auth connected to Pocket ID and plan to connect LLDAP as well. Also, as much as I do love Pocket ID and passkeys, I will likely give TinyAuth a try too and connect it with my other self-hosted apps. Hopefully that is more reliable for my users.

Anyways, i have work in the morning, oops... goodnight fedi!

Here is my Ukraine peace proposal:

1. Putin is sent to The Hague.
2. Russian soldiers leave Ukraine including Crimea.
3. Russia returns all kidnapped Ukrainian children.
4. Russia releases all Ukrainian prisoners.
5. Russia pays damages for everything their war has destroyed.
6. Russia pays damages to Ukrainian families who have lost family members.
7. Russia pays damages to every person who has been tortured, abducted or otherwise criminally mistreated.
8. Ukraine becomes a member of the EU.

Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck
I finished migrating my personal site from using Hugo to Astro! I'm quite pleased with the results! ๐Ÿ˜Ž https://frasermclean.com
