This cat chose to get sat on (and I'm not quite dead yet)

Took my forge offlien again, used it as an opportunity to test & deploy a new ruleset which seems to be effective for now

Another request graph showing requests peaking at 180 requests/second. At the end a spike in 418 challenges is visible

At this point my server was under other load, but they kept hammering it till it fell over and then hammered it some more. Which was annoying, because real people were trying to use it at the time.

A graph starting at 16:00 and ending at 17:00. A green line representing 200 responses gently slopes up from 20 req/s to 65 req/s. It then suddenly drops, and is replaced with a spike of purple representing 499 (client ended request). This rises up to 200req/s.

I haven't really posted about it, but the bots have been getting worse recently. In the past couple of months they've started bypassing protections that were effective for more than a year previously and hitting peaks of 160 requests per second against my forge […] [Original post on tech.lgbt]

A graph showing 2xx requests from last December to today. The graph is mostly flat, below 1req/s until 06/01, where it moves up to 2.5req/s. Suddenly, at 08/01 it spikes to 7.5rew/s before dipping and then rising to 15req/s, where it remains

And the idea that something isn't art because it's there for a purpose or because you, as an audience member, don't see it is ridiculous!

Jade posted:

Far more to art exists than what you see as an audience member - when you watch a film, you do not know or care about the camera the cinematographer used, but it shapes what you experience. When you go to a live music show, you can't hear the cues and countdowns in the performer's ears that make sure everything happens in perfect time, but they are as essential to the performance as the lights that colour the stage. And yet it is a part of the art nonetheless - something does not have to be seen to have meaning or to be part of a performance.

It's so so important as software developers we don't forget that we aren't working on a production line - what we do is creative work, is art, and artists are our siblings in persuit.

atzanteol@sh.itjust.works posted:

Computer code is not art. It has no aesthetic quality. It's generally not even seen and frequently hidden.

It's engineering - you don't need to get all up yourself by claiming to be "artists".

Jade posted:

As someone who has performed in orchestras, hosted touring musicians, shot video onstage at festivals, livestreamed events, and worked with photographers, sound engineers and producers - Computer programming and software development is just as much art as any of them. Calling what we do engineering is a poor excuse to forgoe solidarity with our fellow creatives.

The #Continuwuity #Matrix server has just hit 1,000 stars! I can't thank everyone enough for the constant support of the project, from code, documentation and moderation to guides and recommendations. Here's to another thousand, and to another 18 months of awesome.

A line graph titled "Star History" displays the growth of GitHub stars over time for the repo continuwuity/continuwuity. There is a massive spike around February 2026, and constant growth since then.

Matrix is great nowadays

Pictured: A very purple chat client with chat rooms (channels) and spaces (servers) down the left, a call UI in the middle with five people in it, and a chat timeline on the right. On the left, users have pronouns next to their names. Ginger has posted a meme saying "Jade is calling". On the right, a Continuwuity banner from a previous post can be seen. There's even more going on, but you get the idea at this point.

The real reason why they don't want you to have crash logs turned on on Android: pretty much every app is constantly crashing because it's held together with duct tape and pritt stick 😭
