i hadn't "taken poison on purpose and just full on vibe coded as a bit" in awhile, so i gave it a whirl trying to mimic the manic intensity of some of the PRs i see nowadays. i guess i didn't really appreciate how anyone who talks about using LLMs for code is eliding the fact that they are stupendously wealthy or otherwise have access to resources, because doing some stuff i do for free for like an hour on cheap mode cost me $15, which is the maximum i will spent on a bit of this caliber. if i was actually "working" with that there's no way it would cost me less than $200 a day to simply do things i do on my own now.

Here's another #FEP for representing torrents on activitypub :) short, sweet, and with a reference implementation and tests! towards a federated bittorrent tracker with #sciop ! PR:

I can't hang on bsky because it brings back the twitter in me. I saw someone saying that Wikipedia is bloated and inefficient because "why spend $100m on labor when the hosting is only $3m." Like a) thats an absolute bargain for a site that serves free high quality information in 27b views a month, and b) how do you think hosting costs are that cheap? Ive seen bloated nonprofits, but look at wikimedia's 990 - the top execs are taking like $400k. Thats half what society for neuroscience's CEO makes for a way more complicated and impactful organization

Rumors that the fediverse can't do mobile identity have been greatly exaggerated: #FEP_1580 is now in draft status - 📃.md This is a proposal for how to migrate all your stuff along with you when you move instances. The gist: Send a request to move along with a set of stuff they'd like to bring with you. Moderators (optionally) can, approve, send back a change request, or deny. If the changes look ok, start the move, if not, hey you avoided incompatible moderation. Should be possible to layer in any kind of bulk actions you might want: "everything except my DMs," "strip attachments," "only my favorite posts," "nothing," etc. keep a public collection of move events signed by both the source and target for durable, portable proof that you are the same person as the old account the new instance crawls your old account and grabs whatever you specified, and then posts a mapping from old URIs to new URIs. other instances can then immediately remap the URIs so e.g. future interactions get sent to the right place, and then gradually update their local versions over time, spacing out traffic. Just using existing ActivityPub mechanisms. There are 6 new terms. Bonus: lays the next steps to migrate to content addressed URIs, decouple accounts from instances, and merge and split accounts. It being a draft means that there is a 60 day (or longer) public comment period, and feedback/edits/etc. Are very much welcome. Issue:
