@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Mountains are all the way over there. That guy is already over there. I'm here, in my cozy house, playing video games.

@benroyce@mastodon.social I've been noticing an uptick of "So you really think you can vote yourself out of this?" posts on Mastodon. It wasn't from a bot account but the cynicism is really starting to ramp up from the "burn it all to the ground" quarter.

@fesshole@mastodon.social This absolutely did not happen. I have never worked anywhere where the toilets weren't the most dogshit generic model available and the toilet paper wasn't so thin you could breathe right through it and you would tear a hole.
I certainly hope those data centers are getting phone calls from the electric company about "Energy Action Day" as often as I do*
- Haha no of course they are not.

@benroyce@mastodon.social Almost immediately after reading your reply I saw this video short from one of my favorite political vloggers on YouTube and I loved her response to the people replying to her videos calling for "revolution" https://youtube.com/shorts/FON8dJG8QBk?si=ArNYreHCWadreC0t
Stop calling for revolution when you never leave your house

@LRRRonEarth@beige.party It makes me wonder which of the eldritch gods McConnell made a pact with to exchange Lindsey's life for a small extension of his own?
One of the concepts I've noticed streamers and content creators on Twitch or YouTube struggle with is that when I tell them I'm on #Peertube or #Owncast, these aren't alternative platforms. These are my own self-hosted websites that I manage and maintain myself.
These are *my* platforms. They don't "belong" to a corporate entity who manage my income streams, hosting, infrastructure, and marketing for me. I have to do all that myself.
The great thing is I see more people now than ever before.

Ugh I need to make coffee. But first I must make coffee. And I'm having a hard time getting up to make coffee because I have not yet had my coffee.

@karlauerbach My reading of this is that this will be made available as a limited edition, but won't be widely available (only 25000 will be printed).

@samlitzinger Reading the article. Yeah, this is not a new concept despite the article's framing. It's basically the philosophy of "If I can't hold it in my hand, it's not real." They seek to define numbers as only applying to actual objects rather than as abstract concepts.
This is purely unscientific, but we have had a major uptick in the urban rabbit population around our neighborhood. Not surprisingly, I'm told that there's also been an uptick in the urban coyote population this spring as well. They normally hang around the banks of the Mississippi River, but have been seen wandering the residential neighborhoods of Saint Paul as well.

@ShiitakeToast @Nonya_Bidniss Back in my enterprise data protection technical support days, I saw companies that would take snapshots of their database and call them backups (we did our best to warm them about this, but most of them dismissed or concerns). If that's the case here, then they never really had "backups".

@fennek@bark.lgbt Web developer here. So, a couple of things here you should be aware of.
I 100% agree that a personal web site is the way to go. They are easy to set up. Find a hosting provider that's cheap (don't go with free because you get what you pay for and with the free ones you'll likely be the product and that would just put you back into the problem that got you here in the first place).
As for preventing AI from scraping your content, the answer is, well, you can't (there's more).
(cont'd)
Replying to
@fennek@bark.lgbt The thing about publishing a website is that... it's a published website. You can put in rules in your config to prevent some AI scrapers from accessing your content but those rules can easily be bypassed by bad actors. It's not bulletproof.
The best you can really hope for is to minimize the damage. Set up the access rules to keep most of the bad traffic out and keep an eye out in your logs to make sure the Bed Guys aren't hammering your pages. It's 50% prevention, 50% vigilance.
Replying to
@Nonya_Bidniss I am curious to know what the hell kind of API call can delete an entire database and all the backups.
