NO SAMIR YOU WILL NOT START BUILDING A POCKET REPLACEMENT
Glob, I am so tired of these LLM thought experiments. Itโ€™s not real, computers are not breaking out of their cages. The LLM is operating within parameters. If you donโ€™t like the parameters, just change them. It has no control over them. It has an โ€œoffโ€ switch. Press it. https://kolektiva.social/@arrrg/114568127257393938
I took a look at my server logs and they are mostly 404s. A lot of bots trying to access various admin panels (notably, WordPress) and secrets files. (I should just block anyone trying that.) And a fair amount of Fedi software trying to access instance infoโ€ฆ on the wrong domain! So if anyone knows anyone writing Fedi software that uses Go-http-client (probably GoToSocial?) or curl, please tell them that the webfinger part is not optional. You cannot assume the domain from the handle.
is satire, right?
Itโ€™s Friday!
The responses to this make me happy, because itโ€™s evidence that Fedi is truly federated. There are lots of cool suggestions (including running your own), and I learned about a couple of Fedi instances I wasnโ€™t aware of!
