Welp, election is upon us. I promise that I will do my best to remember to put it under the CW.
The riding I'm in votes 70-80% Liberal, so I can vote for whoever I like, but this year I might vote Liberal anyway, just as an FU to Poillievre.

When you send a dad joke online, its speed of transmission is measured in special units called "dad-bauds."

New pet peeve -- when people treat email as text messages. I don't want to receive 4 messages from you, each one sentence long.

I'm aware of Anubis and I'm afraid proof-of-work intermediaries are going to become the only way to deal with bots.
However, I don't like Anubis's general approach. I would prefer to have something built into varnish with some more logic that allows for more nuance. If there is a local cached page, allow the request. If there isn't, but the load/RAM usage is low, let the request through. If the load is high or if we're seeing lots of 503's, only then require proof-of-work.

In good news, I figured out what needed to happen so we don't share the same /64 with all other Linode systems in the same datacentre, which gets @spamhaus off our back.

I know I haven't been able to work on b4 and other tooling as much as I was hoping, but between the Equinix exodus, having to continuously mitigate against LLM bot DDoS'ing our infra, and just general geopolitical sh*t that lives rent-free in my head... it's been difficult. But I have high hopes and lots of good ideas -- that's got to count for something, right?

Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face

"Whether it’s cryptocurrency scammers mining with FOSS compute resources or Google engineers too lazy to design their software properly or Silicon Valley ripping off all the data they can get their hands on at everyone else’s expense… I am sick and tired of having all of these costs externalized directly into my fucking face. Do something productive for society or get the hell away from my servers"

Other than FSF Europe, what other free software nonprofits are there that I can send people to if they don't want to contribute to a US-based entity?

When Trump says that he can apply economic pressure on Putin, he's lying. He has very few levers that haven't already been pushed. Using his own analogy, Trump acts like he has an ace up his sleeve, but he only has a pair of jokers. The only sure way to apply pressure on Putin is to give Ukraine all they need to win on the battlefield.
