  RE: https://wtf.lt/@simonas/116527224670189329 This #Mastodon instance has been running for some time already and I find it amusing, how little maintenance it requires (given there are almost no users). So anyone is welcome to stir it up a little - by signing up :)

  "The best argument for Rust in 2026 is not memory safety or performance. It is that AI writes better Rust than it writes C++." 🤷‍♂️ https://x.com/CtrlAltDwayne/status/2032388050584736157?s=20

  Had a blast today while running around an (functional) airstrip in Moletai, Lithuania and watching satellite prototypes thrown from a drone and have their parashutes tested. Some shutes indeed failed to open, video here: https://youtu.be/9N2s79fCrks

  #IRC server https://irc.linux.lt/ was upgraded to #UnrealIRCd version 6.2.3. In the meantime, test environment runs 6.2.4. I maintain few stable releases as container images at https://quay.io/repository/kareiva/unrealircd?tab=tags Those images have certbot support (for macvlan) and are based on #CentOS Stream (because it's always nice to see good security scan results) Slowly dropping support for .deb based distros - if anyone would like, 'd be happy to undo this.

  Repost: kadangi esu visą dieną užstrigęs dėl Lufthansa streiko, noriu trumpai sudėlioti savo (ir galbūt kitų susidomėjusių) mintis dėl 🐧 Linux bendruomenės reikalų ir svetainės https://www.linux.lt kuri šiuo metu rodo "bet ką tik kad rodyti". Šiaip jei kam pasirodė kitaip, tai aš neturiu jokių konkrečių tikslų kažką vienas dėti į tą svetainę, rašyti kažkokius straipsnius, ar eventus postinti. :)

  I have opened the web based Microsoft Outlook for a little bit more advanced use. Where is the freaking Send/Receive button?

  My daughter (2nd grade) has learned to count in the binary system: 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 and so on. To encourage further experiments, I have deployed a new robot to our household: turn the potentiometer and control the integer that is converted to binary using five LEDs: https://gist.github.com/kareiva/34d5cf9fe0b235fd13751da3b06de173

  No, I somehow don't have sleep problems with #Fedora. This Thinkpad was on 14% battery when I closed the lid after lunch and it woke up around 9pm to exactly the same 14%.

  #Cardputer ADV has a nice SSH client with many terminal capabilities, although the `screen` utility seems to be glitching at times during screen redraw. But irssi works just fine.

  Running a local #qwen3 model over #opencode produced the below vibe coding results - an Ansible reference. It's not much but it was honest work :) https://git.wtf.lt/simonas/ansible/src/branch/master/README.md

  The end of political struggle against common sense and basic concepts of technology that makes the internet secure today. I did not participate in it directly, but for sure I was in a dialogue with my EP member representative and it felt like I've contributed. Now it's time to do more serious work to protect the minors. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/end-of-chat-control-eu-parliament-stops-mass-surveillance-in-voting-thriller-paving-the-way-for-genuine-child-protection/

  Tried #Sylve on #FreeBSD today - looks more solid than few months before. Went straight to pass-through configuration, but I forgot that I'm running Sylve itself in a VM :)

  Is it just me or are those #neuralnetwork pictures completely wrong? There are no noses learnt on the layers, it's just optimal weight values, learned through gradient descent?

  Open internet is replaced by consumption platforms, whose business model requires passive engagement. A user who spends X hours going down a tech rabbit hole, breaking things in a terminal is worth less to them than a user who watches X hours of content. They don’t ban tech material. They algorithmically deprioritize anything that demands active engagement and reward passive consumption. This culture treats passive consumption as the default relationship with technology. https://fireborn.mataro...

  The maker tools are unproductive on purpose. Nobody expects your Arduino project to ship to customers. Nobody expects your homebrew computer to compete with IBM. The whole point is that you have the permission to fuck around, and the finding-out happened gradually, through play, over years. This is where the old Silicon Valley adage comes from: “What smart people do on the weekends, everyone else will do during the week in ten years.” Vibe coding broke this pattern. https://read.technicall...
