Swedish team ended up in first place in the blue team exercise Locked Shields 2021! Congratulations!
When I was a part of the Swedish team in 2019 we ended up in third place. I hope to be asked again.
Looking for a minimalist image viewer in type safe languages I stumbled on
https://github.com/neurlang/wayland
One of the examples is go-wayland-imageviewer. No C dependencies. Compiles to a static binary if you like.
Draws client-side decorations, though, and doesn't keep aspect ratio. But cool!
Birdsite's zip archive has a web interface you can use. However, almost all URLs are then through t.co, just like on the real site.
I notice that they recognize .onion links, though, and those are not through t.co.
Also, the real URLs are left in the tweet.js file in "expanded_url".
Investigated the chasquid mail server yesterday:
https://blitiri.com.ar/p/chasquid/
It's an SMTP MTA in Go.
Unfortunately it says it's "chasquid" in both the SMTP banner and after HELO. Not configurable, but easy to change in the code.
Funny thing is that it uses quotes from Nethack in most messages. Also good for fingerprinting, of course, but I laughed out loud.
Today, I'm looking at
another MTA in Go.
Revision's Twitch stream ended rather suddenly but they're streaming through CCC:

"Drinks are allowed on CCC streams", as they said. Cheers!
Of course, we made the entire thing green on black in monospace with an inspirational quote on the main page: "But we are HACKERS and hackers have black terminals with green font colors."
We had an internal hackathon at dayjob earlier this week. Rewrote an internal web app in
Made plenty of progress in just two days (and most of the night).
I'm not usually a web person, but it was really fun.
Just venting some frustration here.
Maybe I should just delete the birdsite account right away instead...
Had this idea I would use one of the many scripts available to delete most of my posts on the birdsite.
Seems most scripts depend on the official zip archive you get by the birdsite and, apparently, it can take days to get the archive. Their API doesn't let you view all posts in the timeline, apparently, so you need the post ID for every single one to really get them all.
Updated my page about my personal computer history. Scroll down a bit for historical part.
In this documentary Carolyn Cassady speaks fondly about the poly relationship she was in with Neal Cassady and Jack Kerouac. In the 50s!

I don't think he was from this planet. My goddess what an unearthly voice!

Some important things: science fiction, retro-computing, swords, free software, operating systems, firmware, minimalist user interfaces, microbrews, and mechanical keyboards...
Not actually that picky about followers. Just don't want some bots following me. So please ask to follow if you're a real person and have some real stuff in your feed.
Don't DM me. Use e-mail, XMPP, IRC, or Signal if you know my number. See web page.
