How Python Will Test Adding Rust Into CPython
Python’s security developer-in-residence Seth Larson reports from this year’s official core developer Python Language Summit:

“No one said ‘don’t do this’ last year”. After testing the waters at PyCon US 2025, [software engineer] David Hewitt returned to the Python Language Summit asking what Python core developers want from Rust, along with proposed timelines, phases, and s … ⌘ Read more

DoorDash Is Building Its Own Drone Delivery Business
DoorDash has launched DoorDash Air, an in-house drone-delivery program that has just received FAA certification for commercial operations. “This does not mean DoorDash’s custom-built drones will be delivering burritos tomorrow, or even next month,” notes TechCrunch. “The company didn’t provide a detailed timeline for when its aircraft would be used in operations.” From the re … ⌘ Read more

@david@daiwei.me agreed on those. I have also noticed that the buttons are the top (Timeline, Mentions, Follows, Settings) shift a bit when clicked. I am not sure what’s causing that.

Okay, wow. Windows NT 4 wasn’t part of my timeline back then, so this is the first time I’m seeing it in action. And this thing came with IE 2, which I’ve also never seen before. (That’s interesting, because I remember using IE even on Win 3.x, but apparently that was already IE 3?)

It also makes me really happy to see my website work in these old browsers. Fullscreen images are “broken” because those are PNG or WebP, but the rest works just fine. 🥳

Some Electricians Think Building Data Centers Is For Sellouts

My twtxt instance is under a de-facto attack. Or, at this point, I can’t even differentiate an attack from the other in the constant barrage or malicious requests.

There were so many bots hammering it, in only 3 days, they consumed the ironically significant amount of 666 MB — I kid you not! In the last 24 hours, there were 59,673 hits on this endpoint alone.

I had to put my twtxt web interface behind a password-protected BasicAuth directive. As I’m the only one using it, it’s fine.

Bots, scrappers and Large Laggy Manglers are poisoning the open web.

“Yes… Look at everyone @prologic@twtxt.net is following! Next, look at everyone each one of them is following… Next… Hmm… Build a graph of follows and mentions, it’ll be so FUN and not at all time-consuming”

Six of my last eight posts were about twtxt itself. As much as it’s understandable between all the excitement and confusion with finding out and using a new technology, I really don’t want this feed to become something like this:

Weird. My timestamps are all being shown (on https://twtxt.net and https://darch.dk/timeline) one hour ahead of what I expected. Am I manually writing my timestamps wrong? Are the clients interpreting something I’m not aware of? Let me write this one on the “Z” timezone to try to debug it.

#ptpol #debate #GeM x #MM #presidenciais

O último dos debates a dois, porque uns são filhos e outros são enteados.

1 - #transparência - #GeM continua com dúvidas sobre o passado de #MM porque não revela coisas da sua actividade na Abreu, e faz uma timeline do que o MM disse e depois o que se descobriu. As críticas dele não são legais mas éticas. MM responde a dizer que GeM é mau candidato, e que isto do GeM com transparência é desespero por causa das sondagens, e que GeM está tranformado em Ventura. 700M€ em dois anos na Abreu a fazer o quê? MM fala muito, defende-se e ataca, mas explicar o que fez para receber este dinheiro… “consultadoria interna, jurídica”. GeM acusa LMM de ser “lobista” (lobbyista, digo da outra maneira soa estranho…). Realmente já vamos em 15 minutos de debate (metade!) e houve muito insulto e nada de explicações mas também nada em concreto. No meio disto tudo, saem os dois mal (até agora, pelo menos) e ficam os dois a perder com isto. Numa coisa o LMM tem razão - o GeM que começou estes debates e entrevistas s falsr de baixa política, política mais baixa que a dele, só a do Ventura… LMM agora diz que o GeM é mal visto nas forças armadas mas que LMM não fala disso (não acabou de falar?). LMM diz “não sou nenhum facilitador de negócios”.

Linux 6.12 To Linux 6.18 LTS Upgrade Offers Worthwhile Benefits For 5th Gen AMD EPYC

While Linux 6.12 LTS will be maintained at least through the end of next year, upgrading to Linux 6.18 LTS can be very worthwhile from the performance perspective beyond the extended timeline until it will reach end-of-life.

I’m contemplating the idea of switching my activity pub instance from Gootosocial to a Pleroma one. While GTS is kinda cute (lightweight and easy to manage) of a software, the inability to fetch/scroll through people’s past toots when visiting a profile or having access to a federated timeline and a proper search functionality …etc felt like handicap for the past N months.

@prologic@twtxt.net do I just have to actually post the token into the twtxt timeline for the bridge?

(as in, for registration)

@prologic@twtxt.net no, I really meant small. I only have a handful of GiBs left of storage. If you can wait until mid-December, then no probleml. Right now it is kind of running on fumes. For testing, and to do not disturb anyone timelines, I recommend you run a small test instance. Running GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word.

I’m with @andros@twtxt.andros.dev and @eapl.me@eapl.me on this one. But I have also lost interest in twtxt lately and currently rethinking what digital tools truly add value to my life.

@bender@twtxt.net You said:

as long as those working on clients can reach an agreement on how to move forward. That has proven, though, to be a pickle in the past.

I think this is because we probably need to start thinking about three different aspects to the ecosystem and document them out:

• Specifications (as they are now)
  
• Server recommendations (e.g: Timeline, yarnd, etc)
  
• Client recommendations (e.g: jenny, tt, tt2, twet, etc)

@bender@twtxt.net I noticed that although the Discover view (and your own Timeline) is much improved with a MaxAgeDays configuration at the pod level, that now some profiles are rather empty.

2. Long term: I took a look at your Caddy WAF but couldn’t figure things out on my own; until then, I’ll be poking at Caddy-Defender, maybe throw in a Crowdsec for lols… #FUN
