having some awesome (i.e. potentially disastrous) ideas about building a little circular rig from stiff paper to hold a bunch of dead ballpoint pens and attaching it to a salad spinner, or power drill, or dremel

build my own little gravitron/centrifuge for biros

ooh they changed the gmail logo already. ai bullshit is coming, better get on that degoogling
do the ai scrapers have memorial day off from work, or something?

til: tcvt

Note that this is not about placing two terminals next to each other. This task is already solved by tiling window managers, screen, tmux and splitvt. What tcvt does is create a single very tall [single] terminal [that spans] two columns.

i made the mistake of purchasing an hp laser printer a while back, and it has the bullshit drm that forces you to use hp toner for which there was a legal settlement

my current firmware seems to allow me to simply disable the drm?? so i was content to let it never update. using an off-brand cartridge in there now.

but the printer falls off the wifi when it goes to sleep and won't get back on without a power cycle

do i risk updating the fw?

maybe after blocking the worst offenders of big tech corporate networks scraping my site for months, they've given up?

nope, chart says ai bros at their desks inside google or meta are still having their crawlers attempt to connect to my site 10 times per second. constantly since i started monitoring it 30 minutes ago

dang it feels good to have iocaine defending my site. glad to have a shield to build stuff under while tech bros continue to enshittify the internet atmosphere
