@bender@twtxt.net Just a donations thiny I knew about from years ago that I never setup properly. Now an acceptable form of donation on my prologic.dev site 👌 (if anyone ever does that is!)

Bye bye PayPal 👋 Hello LibrePay 👋

When I try to login to PayPal I now see:

Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker

Here’s the thing. PayPal takes fees from transactions and payments received and sent.

I have very right not have ads shoved in my face for something that isn’t actually free in the first place and costs money to use. If PayPal would like to continue to piss off folks me like, then I’ll happily close my PayPal account and go somewhere else that doesn’t shove ads in my face and consume 30-40% of my Internet bandwidth on useless garbage/crap.

#PayPal #Ads

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Haha 🤣 Nice typo there!

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe I’m mostly against it because it forces Javascript™ on the client(s) at a blanket level. Doing “Proof-of-Work” explicitly IMO is fine™, but not at an Ingress/Edge level IMO – Which is why I haven’t adopted it myself.

My day (yesterday), stand up at 09:30AM (AEDT), P2 Incident at 10:20AM. End of my day 04:30AM (AEST) the next day! Oh my 🤣 🔥 🤦‍♂️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net I’ll also start spamming from my upcoming Vietnam holiday (flying out this Friday) for a couple of soliday weeks 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Seems fine to me! Plenty of time to get our shit™ in order! 🙌

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Welcome back! 🤟 You have been missed! 😅

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe Welcome back 🤟

Obviously yarnd 🙋‍♂️

This is what this looked like visually 😳

At this point I’m considering starting a class action lawsuit for all the self-hostess and little-web folks that want to host a small thing or two and sue these fucking inconsiderate fucking corporate giants, hopefully win, and make them respect others on the web.

Fark me 🤦‍♂️ I woke up quite late today (after a long night helping/assisting with a Mainframe migration last night fork work) to abusive traffic and my alerts going off. The impact? My pod (twtxt.net) was being hammered by something at a request rate of 30 req/s (there are global rate limits in place, but still…). The culprit? Turned out to be a particular IP 43.134.51.191 and after looking into who own s that IP I discovered it was yet-another-bad-customer-or-whatever from Tencent, so that entire network (ASN) is now blocked from my Edge:

+# Who: Tentcent
+# Why: Bad Bots
+132203

Total damage?

$ caddy-log-formatter twtxt.net.log | cut -f 1 -d  ' ' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r -n -k 1 | head -n 5
  61371 43.134.51.191
    402 159.196.9.199
    121 45.77.238.240
      8 106.200.1.116
      6 104.250.53.138

61k reqs over an hour or so (before I noticed), bunch of CPU time burned, and useless waste of my fucking time.

@bender@twtxt.net Don’t even think that was on the cards I’m afraid 😳 But yes I’ve said that in a message to the recruiter.

@kiwu@twtxt.net I’m glad you’re liking the updates haha 😆

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net Pfft, they want folks to relocate to Sydney. Fuck that 🤣 Sydney is a bit like San Francisco, I’m not actually sure which is worse. Fuck’n expensive as hell, the only palce you’d be able to afford to buy or rent is at least ~2hrs out of the city by public transport (i.e: train) and by that time you’ve just pissed your life down the toilet, because you’d be expected ot work a 9-10hr day + 2-3hrs of travel each way, buy the time you factor in having to wake up super early to get ready to travel in to work, you basically have zero time for anything else, let alone your ufamily,

Fuck that.

Hmmm

Hello @therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 🤣 Spoken like someone that’s done this before 😅

What do you do, when a recruiter throws you a PD or two and says the total compensation is ~2-3x what you’re on now?! 🤔

@arne@uplegger.eu @lukas@lukasthiel.de In fact, Yarn.social’s yarnd client implementation actually uses (or did, still kinda does today) PicoCSS 🤟 It was/is a good CSS library! 👍

@thecanine@twtxt.net Comgrats! 🙌

Boi am I glad I made the decision to get off of Clownflare back in Jan of this yaer 🤣

Hmmm 🧐

Hello Mastocon? 🤔

Testing 1 2 3

@kiwu@twtxt.net Oh! you like? 👍 Haha 😆

Testing 1 2 3

Hey @ocdtrekkie@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

ap-verify: 8f259adfc4ef06ac1472

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL 😂

@bender@twtxt.net LOL 😂

@bender@twtxt.net The “t” 🤣

@quark@ferengi.one It’s very nice mate 😅 I didn’t know you were this good at CSS 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net That’s actually kind of what I was going for, just with a stylized “t” and some blue/purple/red shades 🤣

It is very nice look’n 🤟

What I wanna know at this point @bender@twtxt.net is this; What is this “Notes” thing. Is it just a uugo static site you maintain or something else? 🤔 Did you write all the CSS yourself? 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @bender@twtxt.net that’s also what Yarn.social’s logo is, and just happens to be the yarnd default. Hmmm figured times for a change? 🤔

ap-verify: f1fb71f88d8a644dbd84

You no Mikey like? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net I don’t think so ? 🧐😂🤦‍♂️

Sorry better verison

New beginnings, new horizons. New pod logo 🤟

LOL 😂 I think mastodon.social is broken 😞

Test

@therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net It works! 🤣 Now I’m quite sure we haven’t got threads working yet 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de unison seems pretty fast for me, and quite nice looking on my macOS desktop. It’s bsed on GLFW, but it seems to work quite well 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 😆

GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word

This is total bullshit 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net It’s good enough ti iron out any bugs 🐛 Can I haz an account? 🙏
