I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".

An actual duck just walked by. 🦆

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

One cool thing about JavaScript is that arrays are just objects under the hood, so they can be used as a sparse hash table:

> foo = []
> foo[1e100] = 'hi mom'

Another cool thing about JavaScript is that all numbers are floats

> foo[0x100000000000001] = 'abc'
> foo[0x100000000000005]
'abc'

So #Putin offers us “peace” if we surrender four regions completely, including Kherson and Zaporizhe.

This is insane, since he wants #Ukraine to submit even two large cities #Russia doesn’t control.

We also have to promise not to join #NATO

This is not a peace offer, this is basically a demand for unconditional surrender. But my point is different.

Watch everybody in the coming days who say Russia wants peace. They are either idiots or russian assets.

Pls boost.
