@prologic@twtxt.net Hitting that URL returns a bunch of HTML even though there is no user named lovetocode999 on my pod. I think it should 404, and maybe with a delay, to discourage whatever this abuse is. Basically this can be used to DDoS a pod by forcing it to generate a hunch of HTML just by doing a bogus GET like this.

二次元游戏的内在困境：服务型游戏为何在“服务”上翻车？
当一款游戏需要更新好几年甚至十几年的时候，它就会把能想到的手段都用上，打造一个大而全的世界，可这一切加深着人们的审美疲劳。
编辑丨熊宇
编者按：在 《二次元游戏的内在困境：怎么总在“切割”或“开除”？》 中，我们说明了“二次元”是标签而非游戏类型，这个标签可以吸引到更多的玩家，但也意味着玩家与游戏类型将会更加不匹配，同时在设计、剧情和人设方面开始受到“二次元”文化的限制。接下来，我们将继续讨论服务型游戏的特点如何影响了“二次元”游戏。
丨 服务型游戏，做不好服务？让我们再说一次：游戏分类是一笔烂账。
我曾经尝试在Steam库中给自己的游戏进行一整套严格的分类，希望创造一个秩序井然的世界……但我失败了，有的游戏似乎需要扔进多个分类，有的游戏却好像塞不进任何分类，最终，这个分类 … ⌘ Read more

Since Gajim 1.9.0, you can toggle Gajim’s main menu bar by pressing Ctrl+M. In order to have a proper replacement for when the menu bar is hidden, we added a menu button to the top left, which contains all of the menu bar’s items.
If you are using Security Labels ( XEP-0258) with Gajim, you ca … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net hey mate, all working well here so far. The login issue isn’t really an issue as far as actually logging in goes, rather if I get my password wrong it gives the response error code in console, the response of which contains the HTML for the wrong password page if you inspect it, but on the frontend itself nothing actually happens which is the confusion. Just stays on the login page as if it was never submitted. Am I alone in having this issue as well?
Experiment in Digital minimalism
I recently read Cal Newport’s book Digital Minimalism. It really
resonated with me, despite (or because of?) being glued to my computer
many hours of the day.
Cal suggests a month of digital decluttering, at first cutting off
everything that your job and other obligations don’t depend on. At the
end of the month you evaluate what, if anything, is to be let back
inside.
I did a decluttering plan for April. It ended up being an ongoing
project when I’m writing this in June.

Evening, hackers! I feel a column coming on!
TL;DR: In which we learn about the EU parliament election, some
ruminations about the death of XMPP, MC’s flat being without drains
for two months, a visit at the Lund Linux Conference, another at the
Security Fest conference, fighting against a Supermicro server, and
some other recent shenanigans,
I voted today. Yes, I know. The EU is still a strange marvel of
functional bureaucracy and not the federated worker’s Union of Europe
