@g Thank you :)

Somebody posted about TGV Tuesday, and it reminded me of this mix:

Community update

With pain in our heart, we unfortunately have to inform you that Exquisite (Mastodon, Peertube and upcoming additions) are henceforth closed for signups.

There is a lot of context to this decision and it is not something that we take lightly. Or a step that we would like to take at all.

The main rationale behind this decision is two-fold. It mostly boils down to LLM-fueled campaigns geared towards the Fediverse (and Mastodon in particular). And to a lesser extend abuse by the folks we gave the opportunity to prove themselves to be part of the family.

This decision is hopefully not definitive. We still welcome new folks - if they are invited by a member of our community.

Spam?

From mastodon-dot-social?

In this economy?

@tinker I’m thinking of adding a recording to every call before answering it: “This call will be recorded for training, quality control and memeing purposes. Anything you say can and will be used against you on Instagram.”

Tileset progress~

Big delays due to life happenings, and then also took some willpower-mustering to resume work on these painful water tiles. But, all they're all defeated now... I can move on.

dboft runs on two Rust programs named after weaving. loom is the interface: like the machine that weaves many threads into one cloth, it gathers conversations from dboft and across the fediverse into one readable site. weft is the server underneath: named for the thread a loom carries across, it stores the posts and comments and trades them with other servers over ActivityPub, the fediverse’s open standard. It also speaks Lemmy’s API, so Lemmy apps work with it. To find related posts, loom turns every post and comment into an embedding: a small open model, Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B running on an ordinary CPU, maps the text to 1,024 numbers that capture what it’s about. These are stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector, and an index finds each story’s nearest neighbours in meaning in under a millisecond, even when they share no words. Its just an experiment.

@RuthODay2 There's also the old story of when goalies started to demand a water bottle at the top of the net and Glen Sather said "Next they'll want a bucket of fried chicken up there"

Mastodon makes me feel not as weird because the people here tend to relate to what I'm saying, but then I remember that it's just because we're all weird over here.

In today's news, "4" is not an appropriate private key for your root CA cert, no matter what XKCD tells you.
