Honestly, this post isn’t anything special, I mostly just wanted to let out a couple of thoughts to let people know I’m not dead. The subject of today’s article is human.json and the thoughts of other humans (or they’re supposedly humans) on the Lobsters thread about this idea, in other words, I’ve basically just written a blog entry with a lot of it being based on a Reddit-like thread. Feel free to skip this post in your reading leisure, but if you choose to read on, then you might want to read the first two links above first!

So, I am extremely out of date for this kind of conversation, this topic reached its peak in 2022, and I kept my mouth shut for its entirety. Now that the roaring waves of discourse have calmed down into neat tides, I’ll shout why I think end to end encrypted direct messages should never be adopted for the Fediverse. I remember shortly after Elon Musk bought out Ex-Twitter, that there were tons of people migrating to Mastoodn, Pleroma and other platforms.

I enjoy software development and technology but every single time I’ve hopped into my IDE, I always leave frustrated and unaccomplished. This pattern has been going on for several months until very recently, when what little energy I had completely fell and ever since that, I haven’t been accomplishing any work at all. This entire cycle and the hell it unleashes on its victims isn’t that uncommon, you most likely know it by the more popular term: burnout.

Simplicity has become an ideology within software development circles, there are entire websites, YouTune channels, blogs, conferences where people spout the same nonsense: “Just keep it simple, stupid”. I’ve spent years adhering to the dogma myself both as a user and a creator, the effects have rubbed off onto me and will likely stay there till the end of time. “But isn’t it a good thing?” I hear you ask, “Surely, focusing on simplicity will help you create software that works for everyone, right?

What if I told you that out there, in vast, hostile space, there’s a civilization living on an entire planet and they have a peculiar ritual. Within the equator of that planet, a huge candle is lit and marks present on the acrylic frame keep track of how long the candle has been burning, the people assign special rituals, events and even days personal to themselves on those marks. Ok well, the analogy is so thin on the ground that you might’ve already realized what it is, it’s time.

This will just be a really short article, I’ll be using way more footnotes in my blog articles, that’s basically it. Have a nice day! A while ago, I was bored, walked to the local library and picked a fiction book at random since I didn’t know what genres I liked1 Luckily I landed on “The Truth Commission” by Susan Juby, I never managed to finish the book but one thing that I really, really loved was the footnotes.

Note: This blog post was meant to cover my experience layering and messing with DNS, but I just did not have the time. So enjoy this piece for the while! What’s up with DNS over [BLANK]? What is a DoH? and what is a DoT? Is it a weird dictionary autocorrect from “dot” and people are merely talking about punctuation? Or is there something more to it? Well, to actually understand what any of that (vague hand gesturing) means, you’ll need to learn about DNS.

Privacy is defined by many as the ability to hold parts of yourself secret. It’s the right for you to choose how you portray yourself, what views you openly share to the world and what you hold true to your heart. We hear a lot about privacy these days from this perspective of secrecy, that if you are private then you are trying to hide away something. But privacy isn’t about hiding, it’s about protection.

DuckDuckGo is a privacy-respecting search engine launched in 2008 that has been slowly expanding into something else truly. (I mean, come on, Identity Theft Restoration?). Well, nevertheless, I still use DuckDuckGo because it’s easy, their search results aren’t polluted with all sorts of nonsense, they did introduce an AI summarize feature but I don’t use it and it’s easy to opt out thankfully. But all of that pales in comparison to the best DDG feature, Bangs!

Roughly a week ago, the Chrome developers announced that they will remove XSLT, their reasoning being that removing it will create a more secure browser, and they’re not wrong, but they’re also misleading. Now, a lot has been said about this specific topic, some people will mention how XSLT isn’t really used by anyone anyway and so removing it is alright, except that’s wrong, and XSLT is used by governments and other important institutions, so I don’t buy this argument at all.

In my free time, I like to bash my head against the keyboard, and the universe at times will turn whatever random input my head produces into a program you might very well be able to use. This RNG art is what I like to call “programming”; a ton of us do it because we are masochists. Anyway, you can find programs I’ve written below, all from projects I am proud of to hacky bash scripts.
