I’ll write a fuller response later, but when billionaire tycoons who profit from genocide say that they want to become “supermen” while explicitly endorsing colonialism, that’s not optimism. That’s fascism with a smile. I actually make stuff, and help other people make stuff, and genuine optimism (technological or not) looks like community, nurturing, organizing and empowering — not indulging billionaires who profit from genocide.

Post details
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is

I'm way too old to realize that people can't read me (which, come on, should be no surprise, kids never got me either) - I have realized that a bunch of people in my life think I am unhappy with them. When the truth is: I am in absolute awe of them, and feel deeply deficient in comparison. It does not help that I never realized this. How does one convince people that you think they are wonderful? Asking for a me.

Writing my thoughts down as I start a potentially long process of something and writing "Whatever and whenever it happens, I'm still me :)" just felt nice, a reminder to myself that ultimately I'm still the same, I might just have some more answers to some things in my life #Journalling

Attached: 1 image I really try not to be overly critical of local government, having worked there and knowing the pressures. But this advice in this day and age is indefensible. The service itself has a load balancer in front of it. All it needs is an HTTPS certificate and a routing rule to terminate HTTPS connections.

Tomorrow, toddler permitting, I will have time to update my talks page (https://ohhelloana.blog/talks/) to include my latest and future talks as well as the link to my most recent interview! I really enjoy doing the interviews & guest writing - I love the prompts and that I don't have to rush doing it. So yeah, I'm keen to do more of it! Let me know! 💖

The whole bad space thing and blocking tech.lgbt from other instances is absolutely insane. Some of the instances involved haven't blocked mastodon.social (which is full of basically anything and tons of random abuse because it's so big), but are blocking tech.lgbt. As usual, queer people are hyper-scrutinised, and all it takes is one terminally online with an unhealthy obsession to find a way to frame an entire community as fundamentally evil based on some questionable disagreements. Don't use block lists. You really don't want your blocking decisions to be based on people who add things to a list on a whim with no accountability and oversight. But even outside of block lists... god when are progressive communities going to get over this obsession with performative punishment and branding people as bad? I've never seen this instance allow bad people to stay, moderators always take care of things, and they're usually pretty responsive. It's beyond absurd to block tech.lgbt

I've been sent some bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone which - so the manufacturer says - are waterproof. I don't have a swimming pool at home (😢 ) so I'm going to try them out in the shower. There won't be any videos - but if this thing electrocutes my head please know that I died doing what I love; dicking around with weird gadgets from China.
