hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 17/11/2025There once was an organization called Stark Industries (no, not *that* one! this one is real!). They emerged around the time Russia decided to invade Ukraine. Oddly enough, their ASN real estate was the source of scads of Russian state-sponsored cyber ops. 1/5 130
hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 06/10/2025Bonkers Palo Alto Login Scanner activity has continued through the weekend. We coordinated with/Palo on Fri, so they know aboot it & have the backs of their customers. tzulo, inc. & 3xK Tech GmbH continue to be the primary network sources (both need a spanking/null route). viz.greynoise.io/tag... 021

hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 16/09/2025Turns out to be simple (albeit w/the forced need to handle potential errors) to code up MLX-powered CLI tools w/Swift. This one generates alt-txt for images completely locally & fast (SmolVLM2 is as nice as its textual cousin). It made some stuff up b/c my prompt was lazy. Just took a cpl seconds! 120

hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 12/09/2025If I pick a featured image WP repeats it at the top of the post so I let it choose and it picked the inkblots (generated by Mathematica) but incplot is super cool and deserves an image drop. ```bash $ Rscript -e 'write.csv(iris, row.names=FALSE, quote=FALSE)' | incplot ``` 010

hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 10/09/2025So. Much. Data. All served over Tailscale via Docker, too. It's super fast to action on new idea too. Anyway, that's a look behind the scenes for a bunch of stuff y'all helped make happen. Hoping to let external folks use Notebooks 2.0 to use our data more interactively on their own. 221
hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 10/09/2025We end up using the diagnostics to make changes (the dashboard rebuilds hourly). The tests page was a "bible" or us back in Q4 last year. Helped debug a ton of issues. Been experimenting alot with "volatility" too (the line/horizon charts scroll alot so had to truncate). 111
hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 10/09/2025The overview page has my fav "at a glance how much did today suck" plot. A few other pages are similar to the IPs one. I also go way overboard on heatmaps :-) 100
hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 10/09/2025@ocks.org It occurred to me that I have yet to show much from the Framework site we've had internally for a year now for insights and monitoring of our platform (it's a pretty much a "no time to do it well" thing). It's pretty extensive. 350

hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 06/09/2025I'm processing all of POTUS TS posts from 2025 (+ setting up a svc to do all new ones) & having SmolLM3-3b-8bit do NER on them.

hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 @hrbrmstr.dev · 06/09/2025SmolLM3--3b-8-bit continues to deliver. Looking at using it for named entity extraction for my "POTUS Posts" (rud.is/ts/) project and for this bleet it did way better than I expected it to (almost instantly, too). 010
