i finished writing blog post on how i'm using a free tier VM (i'm frugal) to expose web app(s) running self-hosted on my local network to the rest of the Internet.
u can read it via my microblog.pub (ActivityPub) https://pub.ennui.page/articles/ccb66c2/exposing-web-apps-from-my-local-network-using-oracle-cloud-free-tier-caddy-reverse-ssh-tunnel
or via my listed.to blog https://blog.ennui.page/41850/exposing-web-apps-from-my-local-network-using-oracle-cloud-free-tier-caddy-reverse-ssh-tunnel
it is probably too long. i wanted to refine my notes for myself, but also for it to be useful to someone doing stuff like this for the first time, since i was bouncing between different blog posts and articles and other Q&As figuring this out myself. in case u actually try to do this and have any questions lmk
(sorry repost, fixed something)

This is truly heartbreaking and enraging. #ACAB
A heart transplant recipient was arrested after a dispute with a neighbor over WiFi. Jail officials refused to let him take his transplant medication for two days. He’d waited 12 years for a heart. His body rejected the heart, and he died.

Everybody knows that there's a 40% chance that a given cop is a domestic abuser, but what if there's more than one? For instance, what's the probability that a set of two cops contains at least one domestic abuser? (Math & ACAB)

It's kind of hard to calculate this directly but of course there is a trick! We're going to calculate the chance that neither cop is a domestic abuser instead. Then all other sets of two cops will contain at least one
There's a 60% chance that cop one isn't and a 60% chance that cop two isn't. This makes the chance that both aren't 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.36. so 36% of pairs of cops fail to contain a domestic abuser, which means 64% contain at least one. If you see two cops and say that there's a 64% chance that one is an abuser, well, that is correct!
This keeps working! The chance that none in a set of three is an abuser is 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = (0.6)^3 = 0.216, so there's a 78.4% = 100-21.6 chance that a set of three cops contains at least one abuser.
If there are n cops the formula is:
(1-(0.6)^n)*100
n. % chance of at least one
1. 40
2. 64
3. 78.4
4. 87
5. 92.2
6. 95.3

Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same.
Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population through social learning.

Good news! .zip and .mov are now TLDs, not just file extensions! So mentioning archive.zip in chat may now link to a phishing site or something.
Wait no, that's *bad* news...
anyways, i think i am interested in joining a fediverse instance that is not running off a sbc in my bedroom, and does not occasionally stop processing things until i delete some poisoned activities from the database.
does anyone have any suggestions for cool servers i should check out??
ok lmao i'm actually getting tired of having to ssh into my server to troubleshoot Why did my instance stop handling incoming AP activities (it's usually like something relating to the user on the other server being deleted and i check the logs and fumble around the sqlite database a bit and take blind guesses at what entries to delete from the database LOL, i'm honestly impressed that i haven't fatfingered and deleted a whole table and irreparably destroyed my instance. like i guess this is kind of what i do for work sometimes, except not in production)

Don't listen to anyone who says "likes don't matter" on here.
Yes, it's true that there's no algorithm for them to feed.
But letting people you know that you like what they're sharing, that you agree with them, that they're not just shouting into an empty abyss? That matters.

"Sir, people are buying crystal meth more than ever before."
"My god, we have drug addiction epidemic here!"
"No, sir, they're buying it as a precursor to nasal decongestant that we severely regulated because it was a precursor to meth."
"??????!?!?!?!"

“People who criticize new technologies are sometimes called Luddites, but it’s helpful to clarify what the Luddites actually wanted. The main thing they were protesting was the fact that their wages were falling at the same time that factory owners’ profits were increasing, along with food prices. They were also protesting unsafe working conditions, the use of child labor, and the sale of shoddy goods that discredited the entire textile industry. The Luddites did not indiscriminately destroy machines; if a machine’s owner paid his workers well, they left it alone. The Luddites were not anti-technology; what they wanted was economic justice. They destroyed machinery as a way to get factory owners’ attention. The fact that the word #Luddite is now used as an insult, a way of calling someone irrational and ignorant, is a result of a smear campaign by the forces of capital.”
Ted Chiang in the New Yorker.
