The amount of time I've spent dealing with ddos attacks could have been so much more productively spent.

PSA: if you're suddenly unable to use tailscale's split DNS ("MagicDNS"), you're probably running kernel 6.11.4+. For the moment, downgrading to 6.11.3 is the only simple fix.

We're learning more about the serious threat that Musk poses to U.S. national security.

He's completely wired into America's security apparatus, and has been one of Putin's phone pals.

Democrats need to recognize that much of this got going under Obama, whose administration was simply reckless in trusting this guy.

Great reporting by the WSJ:

Periodic reminder of a few facts:

1. Ukraine was a nuclear power after the dissolution of the USSR. It had nuclear weapons under its full control.
2. The USA convinced Ukraine to transfer their nuclear weapons to Russia. In exchange, the USA signed a treaty *guaranteeing* Ukraine's territorial sovereignty if Ukraine gives up its nuclear weapons.
3. In 2014, when Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea, the US under Barack Obama defaulted on their guarantee.
4. We cannot seriously discuss any other treaties with Russia if we continue to ignore the fact, that such treaties were repeatedly broken by Russia, with the powerful nations offering security guarantees looking the other way.

It's insane to me that we now have reports of North Korea intervening in Russia's invasion of and the response is so timid.

That's now two β€” or three, if you count Iran β€” autocratic states engaged in military conquest to quell a burgeoning liberal-democracy, with the rest of the world too paralysed by fear to prevent it.

This is a glimpse of how future decades are going to look. It's the great moral and liberal issue of our time. We'll be judged harshly for our failures now.

My registrar just reminded me that I own fauxpas.guru, which I registered just for the purpose of having a social.fauxpas.guru fedi instance. But I never actually set that up, because sometimes a joke doesn't actually seem that funny the next day. :)

AI farms can just up and die, please. Add overscraping to the long list of public resources being ruined by commercial greed -- to join overfishing, overlogging, and overgrazing.

Trying to kill the 3 remaining wikis that we host. Wikis were a nice idea back in 2000's, but these days it's a constant struggle against spammers and AI farms that descend on your sites like locust and consume all resources until the system falls over.

I am having an amusing and/or deranged conversation with someone who is trying to gaslight me into being ashamed for not knowing what a "brevect" is. (Also, their preferred mechanism for quoting emails in replies appears to be to cut-and-paste screenshots.)

So, what *is* a "brevect" about which the "kernel staff' should totally know? Let your imagination run wild, I'm curious.
