For personal use, its really hard to see how this would go wrong. You get an (arguably) much better drive in the Ultrastar, and even if the resellers (typically 2 year) warranty doesn't pan out, the drives are cheap enough compared to

Arch Linux. It’s an easy default for me, although I’ll probably build the next iteration on FreeBSD with ZFS. I don’t have much faith that btrfs or bcachefs will catch up to ZFS in the next few years.

The ELIZA Archaeology Project documents the early history of the ELIZA chat bot and contains an Early pre-Lisp implementation written in MAD (Michigan Algorithm Decoder) that until recently was thought to be lost. The source listing is here

If you look at the PGE bill that is visible before article gets cut off, his electricity use went way up year over year and his natural gas use went down. I'm guessing he got an electric heat pump to replace his gas furnace, and just

Quixotic[0] (my content obfuscator) includes a tarpit component, but for something like this, I think the main quixotic tool would be better - you run it against your content once, and it generates a pre-obfuscated version of it. It takes

As I said, Mastodon/ActivityPub has its issues. If the goal of "Free Our Feeds" was "let's build activity pub into a better mousetrap" or "let's design a protocol that fixes Activity Pub's flaws

I run a not-very-popular site -- at least 50% of the traffic is bots. I can only imagine how bad it would be if the site was a forum or search engine.

Author of Quixotic here. Thanks for posting this. I submitted this a while back; there are a few comments on that thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42516759 ). Right now, there is also a discussion about a semi-

Author of a similar tool here[0]. There are a few implementations of this sort of thing that I know of. Mine is different in that the primary purpose is to slightly alter content statically using a Markov generator, mainly to make it usel

That bill of rights does not exclusively deal with criminal law. At least the first and fifth amendments deal partially with civil law. The seventh amendment exclusively relates to civil law.

Its a joke that is successfully run and federated by multiple parties at scale, which is what the signers of this initiative claim to want. Bluesky/ATproto is for all practical purposes run and controlled by a single entity.

Self plug, but I made this to deal with bots on my site: https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html . It is a simple markov generator to obfuscate content (static-site friendly, no server-side dynamic generation required)

I'd take this more seriously if the call to action was to support Mastodon. I understand Mastodon has its problems. I also understand that at-proto might, in some hypothetical future, not be reliant on a single entity to run and manag

I wonder what the point of these accounts is - they show up in almost every post now. If the goal is farming karma, they aren't doing a very good job.

I still use Emacs, but I feel the author's pain. I was developing Emacs-induced RSI in my early 20s. Taking a job where I didn't type nearly as much had the side-effect of letting the RSI fix itself.
