If you are in need of #MutualAid or making #MutualAidRequest or #eBegging or setting up a #GoFundMe in the new year, please see above! ☝️In short: tax reporting requirements are changing, and might accidentally affect you negatively

@dushmanEven back before becoming a crypto skeptic, I knew there is a time and an audience for such advice. To be blunt, this is neitherFrom my current crypto skeptic self, calling it "inconvenient" ignores both the realities of those who would be affected by this, their ability to fix it, and everything negative going on in that spaceYes, all that is *still* worse than the worst case scenario here, Mr. Non-USian according to bioThis has been your one good-faith reply. Please discontinue

@aral while I share the concern, I don't see this in what was postedLooking at the list, I only see that one member you called out as notable. (Perhaps aside from the long-time Mastodon CFO)Are you implying that the rest of the board will defer to him? Or that the others will be replaced? Or that the rest have secret agendas not listed in their bios?Because one big tech "entrepreneur" stake holder isn't great, but does not "Mozilla" or "the next Twitter" make

@futurebird depending on type, we idealists are getting steamrolled by the Zeitgeist, and are either working quietly or creating the very news that you wish to tune out(I am in the former camp and planning a news diet myself to protect it)

@cadey the second one might actually let me understand K8 finally(Or at least, *improve* my understanding significantly, since IDK if anyone who didn't write it can fully understand it)

@futurebird my prediction as an autistic nerd:I think it is a creepy idea for a school assignment... which means it will speak to a lot of the nerdy kids who have anxieties about the future bc they actually read about things that adults are doing (and more important, not doing)Which means most of them will engage with it ❤️

@pry I was looking for this some time ago, but I kept thinking it was in the SMB protocol instead of Hyper-VThanks!

@foone> WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?I know this is rhetorical, but my autistic brain just flashed me through some memories at several jobs, and so I must say"I know exactly why"(I imagine you do too)

@erincandescent I wish I could find it again, but the analysis I've read that I haven't seen in the replies to this, which I found persuasive:Browsers are fairly efficient with client-side caching -- to the point where many websites and servers (accidentally) rely on itMastodon's preview feature not only doesn't do this, but polls periodically to see if it's changed, ignoring not only cache control headers but allegedly some "permanent" status codesIt is basically a badly behaving crawler

@erincandescent while I don't know if it qualifies as DDoS, such a badly behaving crawler is indeed enough traffic to get noticed and cause ire among sysadminsTo the point of getting your IP address blocked and/or a nastygram in e-mail bc you are not using our website "as intended" and are "malicious"Ask me how I know

@raccoon I started by finding a bunch of junked electronics and just de-soldered DIP chips from themOther than that, I'd just say small kits. They usually have holes for DIP pins, but don't put them on

@leo @arch IIRC everything newer than gpt 3.5 is "multiple 3.5 instances in a trenchcoat"So if they wanted *equal* scalability of GPT 3.5, that adds up really fast...

Repeating myself for new followers.I do random PRs for #opensource. My largest is making a #rustlang scripting language embeddable. According to GH search, it unlocked dozens of uses.https://github.com/rhaiscript/rhai/pull/229But I'm often I'm too busy/disorg to do more than small things, like writing #cicd for budding projects.And yet, that''s my prob biggest impact: a Flash impl took off after I added bin releases w/Win MSI.https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/pull/357That's #foss: little things can make a great impact.

@mook replying to "chodes"Fun fact abt "they know everything about you anyway"They don't know necessarily it's *you*It's an e-mail address, a phone number, a throwaway account, a username, an IP, etc. The data brokers and e.g. Meta's bullshit "provide value" via correlation with "you"DHS was made with its billions of USD back in 2001 to create "Data Fusion Centers" -- bc that problem was unsolvable. Now it's just rly hardWe can't be invisible, but we can be a NULL table join
