@zog sorry, typo
The ex-lead developer of the #FOSS library I'm using for AI Horde, is going around looking up email contacts for the place of work for any collaborator to the library they abandoned, and then sending them anonymous emails about them contributing to a project distributing CSAM!
This is the kind of thing that kills FOSS projects, as nobody wants to deal with stuff like that as a frigging unpaid hobby!
Man, not a single boring day lately. Contabo again fell on its face and this time took my email forwarder with it. Had to hustle to set up a postfix somewhere else and redirect the MX record.
My blog is still down
It's insanity! A previous collaborator for an open sourced (AGPL3) library I worked on, is sending very scary threats and trying to get people fired from their jobs because they don't want anyone to use that library anymore.

@doctorow @pluralistic I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, if you had the time.
@garius have your written your brilliant explanation of the Trust Thermocline (I saw it here https://twitter.com/garius/status/1588115310124539904) somewhere outside microblogging services? I wanted to link to it from my blog but that's the only place I found it.
I finally got annoyed enough at my existing SQL slow and inaccurate statements to sit down and do it right. Ended up with this beast, but it seems to be working.
It's way faster on the retrieval (as it doesn't need to retrieve all columns to calculate with python) and properly uses only the relevant rows.

The #enshittification of #spotify continues unabated. Their radio or autoplay functions have become hot garbage. They always play the same goddamn songs from the same goddamn bands. I want to explore damnit. I want to find new stuff!
I've turned to my last.fm account to help https://www.last.fm/user/db0
I tried using the suggestions radio, which finally was a breath of fresh air. And wouldn't you know it, after a couple hours of that radio, mysteriously it always starts failing...
