You can't just lob 5.56 around like that, it will go straight through vehicles. Absolute madness.

Absolutely astonishing scenes in Florida as police apprehending.a hijacked UPS truck seem to think they're in Baghdad.

I can only describe the footage I saw as a shooting frenzy, using people's stopped cars for cover. They killed a bystander and the hostage truck driver. Fucking clowns.

Sometimes immunotherapy doesn't change my life at all, sometimes it's pretty brutal. This week has been the latter. Headaches, extreme fatigue, the lot.

@sullybiker try hate everything except their reach and the size of their audience.

I don't understand why so many blue ticks on Twitter - the very vocal activist variety - claim to hate the platform but refuse to use valid alternatives. It's maddening.

You can tell it's almost a public holiday because people drive like complete assholes.

As unfashionable as it is to praise Coldplay, their new album Is the best thing they've done in years.

Reading sites for things like #IPFS and #Beaker / #DAT and #MaidSafe / #SAFENetwork, some things are never stated.

If someone were to set up a #RasPi to be a node on one of these types of #peer-to-peer networks, would they need to set up NAT passthrough, or do their protocols already include something like STUN / TURN?

Mostly an academic question, as I’m not willing to potentially open up access to my home network.

The FidoNet chapter from BBS: The Documentary (2004) is I think required viewing for fediverse admins.

Bulletin board services (BBSes) were pre-web online communities with forums, mail, games, etc. FidoNet was/is basically a volunteer-run federation layer that let BBSes communicate with each other.

The video talks about FidoNet's growing pains, especially around governance & a mismatch between what users wanted and what the sysops felt was required to maintain the net.

I have a doppleganger on campus. A barista told me he'd done a portrait session with me a couple of years back.
"No you didn't."
"Oh, I'm sorry. You take milk in your coffee, right?"
"No, that's the other guy."
