I really want people to necroboost more, and I'm not even joking. Just because a post is from 2, 5 or 10+ years ago, doesn't make it irrelevant, in fact, if anything it is delightful to see how it holds up in the new context, and if it became more true for example. Good posts can come from […]

With all the discussion about the number 4, I wonder why DANE/TLSA never took off: Pinning the CA you work with in your host records seems like a good mitigation, or at least a MitM difficulty multiplier until DNSSEC happens... I think SMTP uses it, why not HTTP?

Alas, I just realized: My brilliant idea of using RDF Linked Data to organize my music in relation to MusicBrainz IDs falls apart entirely for videogame music, most of which has not received a proper album, or omit songs from official releases :neobot_cry:

Raw SPARQL is not very pretty, but it works for this precise shape of the RDF graph. Next I add additional RDF tuples to link up extra contentUrls for the tracks! SELECT ?a ?title ?trackNumber ?tracktitle ?link WHERE {?a schema:archivedAt "/shares/music/Game Music/Mp3/Albums/Symphonic […]

This also has the option of combining with data from vgmdb.net (and the old vgmdb.info service): I can pull even more information from the album, such as what videogame series the album is related to! And if I index the data properly, I should be able to populate a collection of symlinks to […]

Open Source hot take: A software project is allowed to be *done*. Not everything needs to add features or rewrite things. You can just be happy with functionality and focus on just maintainance. "Maintenance mode" is not always bad but can just show a mature product.
