Meta's decentralized social plans confirmed. Is Embrace-Extend-Extinguish of the Fediverse next?
  • What iffing a possible scenario: Meta positions itself as an instance host, like how WordPress hosts blogs. "We'll take the headache out of setting up an instance, but you control everything else!" Free? Low cost? Removing the technical hurdles of hosting your own instance could entice a lot of would be admins to go this route.

    It gives the illusion of control, but Meta still back channel collects all data.

  • US mother gets call from ‘kidnapped daughter’ – but it’s really an AI scam
  • Given the prevalence of social media platforms where you post videos of yourself, it seems pretty easy to get enough voice sampling to generate a convincing clone. Depending on how much personal info she and her family members put out on social media, it's trivial to connect all the dots to concoct a plausible scenario to scam someone.

    Now whether or not it was "just a prank, bro" from family or whomever, I don't know.

  • Motorcycles You Have Known

    What did you used to ride? What are you riding now? Which one did you love the most? What's laying in a torn apart pile in your garage? Any stories behind them?

    My first squidbike. Rode this thing EVERYWHERE, but then I busted the 2nd/6th gear dogs. Successfully replaced them, but it leaked oil from then on from splitting the cases. !

    My second less squiddy bike; I really loved the SV. Great handler after the RT prog springs and Penske rear shock were put on. !

    Number 3. I could never get the hang of riding this correctly. It wanted to go very fast and I didn't. !

    Number 3.5 (basketcase). Rode it, like, twice. Intended to restore it, but ended up giving it away for free. It was super dangerous to ride (i.e. brakes? what are brakes?). !

    Current (old man bike): !

    What are your go-to tools?
  • For systems creation, provisioning and config management Hashicorp's terraform and packer, and RedHat's ansible are indispensable.

    govc for managing guests in vCenter.

    jq for parsing json.

    I like tmux better than screen, but use both.

    Not really a tool, per se, but Netbox is a great DCIM/IPAM application for managing your infrastructure.

    Just learned about it and am currently learning, but Apache JMeter looks like a useful tool for running automated load testing against different kinds of services.
