Pierre's fediverse server

Made a streaming stress test. Should push your encoder to its limits. In other words, noise. https://pcarrier.com/toys/rand

Oddly happy to have more than 1000 lines of flake.nix at work. So much packed there.

What's your reset.css?
I'll start

:root {

pre, code {

}

Would you pay ~$5/mo to expose network services from any of your machines on a dedicated public IP + subdomain? Would support NAT traversal and of course hide your location.
How would you call such a service?

ident.me has been around since 2012, currently handles 50 billion requests per year 😅. Recently improved geolocation (moved off MaxMind into DB-IP), added a bunch of browser insights, live stats, and started packaging a command-line utility (brew, scoop, AUR and Alpine Linux so far). Now all we're missing is an Android app 🤔

Here's to another 12 years of return-address-as-a-foss-service-that-doesn't-sell-its-data.

What do you use to determine your public IP? Precisions appreciated in thread. I am trying to federate :)

#networking

Knob response curve knobs: offer finer precision at the extrema. Keep either centered and turn the other to visit the full range.

Web agents could benefit from vision/multimodal models with X-ray channels.

Tired of base64 shenanigans… Again. Enough is enough. Launching armor64 after it sat for 8 years in my gists.
