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"

Donald Trump proudly demonstrates all the nothingburgers he got from Russia during his call.

tante@tldr.nettime.orgLLM crawlers are aggressively destroying important community infrastructures but sadly there is not an easy fix. Still: Blocking those crawlers should be high on your list of todos

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.

I was $today years old when I learned that you can write long integers with underscores for readability in Python.
foo = 1_500_000
foo = 1_500_000

The hilarious thing about Musk's "fork in the road" emails is that Tesla's autopilot is actually really terrible at forks in the road. It will gleefully drive you into the orange divider if the markup on the road is anything but 100% freshly painted lines.
In fact, "driving us all into the Orange Divider" is also a great description of what Musk is doing.

I'm not a member of the Liberal Party, so I cannot vote for Ms. Freeland, but I've donated money to her campaign and I hope she's the next leader of that party, not another old white dude. But, considering that the Liberal party is the party of old white dudes, I'm not holding out much hope.
