Ahoj, narodil jsem se v Karlových Varech, jen už tam docela dlouho nežiju...

Karlovy Vary jsou ale moje srdeční záležitost a často je s mojí ženou navštěvujeme...

Největší srdcovka je ovšem Grand Hotel Pupp, kde jsem se vyučil kuchařem...

Mám rád knihy, filmy a dobrou muziku. Baví mě sledovat fotbal a rád opečovávám naší zahrádku...

V roce 2018 jsem onemocněl. Trpím středně těžkou hemiparézou, jsem částečně ochrnutý na celou levou polovinu těla...

...a na pravou polovinu mozku

Также церковь обвиняет писателя в «эсхатологичности», разрушении общественных устоев, пропаганде алкоголизма, сквернословии и «кощунственном представлении о Боге». Тексты Ерофеева, по их мнению, не содержат положительных героев, надежды или «нравственного идеала».

ахахаха! Надежды не содержит 99,9% так называемой классической русской литературы, как и «нравственного идеала». Это или про мудаков, или для мудаков, или написано мудаком, или любая комбинация из этих трёх (простите мой франсэ).

Spreadshirt responded to my email about their AI tool for designers. There must have been a few of us who threatened to leave. Hilariously :upside_down_tears: , their response is to add an opt-out tool for designers.

Because, and the fuckers didn't even allude to this in the original announcement, the 'AI design tool' will also scrape the designs you have uploaded on their platform. Of course it will.

So now people have a chance to opt out TWO WEEKS AFTER the AI shite is in place. Lolzers.

I've deleted all my stuff. I don't care, I've only made a few shirts for myself or the Merry Mushmen here and there, this isn't part of my livelihood... What would I do if I counted on t-shirt sales for a living? Would I even have a choice?

#spreadshirt #fuckai

Screenshot from an email (black text on a white page): "The AI tool will go live on 15 October, the opt-out function will be available from 31 October. There will therefore be a short transition period during which the AI tool will already be live, but you will not yet have the option to opt out. If you still want to prevent your designs from being modified by AI, you will need to take them offline for this period from the Spreadshirt Marketplace."

I just bought 20 envelopes and stamps, and I'm packing them with 5x #Conversations_im, 5x #OMEMO, and 5x #XMPP stickers each.

Send me an email if you want one. Put 'Stickers' in the subject so I can filter. While supplies last, obviously. (Though I'm more limited on the stamps than the stickers.)

Edit: I’m out of envelopes.

I should prepare a personal bulletin board somewhere to announce professional and some personal stuff.
The first would be "UK callers, unless I have you in my contact list, I'll not take your calls and will block you."
I currently get 2-3 calls per week from random UK numbers with (probably) classic tech support scam. I stopped taking them like a year ago, but the attempts intensified recently for some reason. I wonder what list I ended up on for it to be so intense.

Having ongoing discussions about URL parsing differences as a basis for a #curl security vulnerability report made me check when I wrote my "my URL isn't your URL" blog post.

*Nine years ago*. And we have not made a single move towards a solution in all this time.

My URL isn’t your URL

When I started the precursor to the curl project, httpget, back in 1996, I wrote my first URL parser. Back then, the universal address was still called URL: Uniform Resource Locators. That spec was published by the IETF in 1994.

Digital Extremes violate the #cURL license?

If they do, that's a shame but there's not a lot I can do. Anyone who can verify this claim? (probably by scanning the binaries for known names or similar)

Just for the heck of it, I decided to try #AI to fix an addon to run in the latest #NVDA alpha. I knew exactly what was wrong with it: it was importing a module included for #Python 3.11, and new alphas of NVDA are built with Python 3.13. I gave chat GPT the addon file, with this instruction: "In the latest alphas of NVDA, NVDA is now built with Python 3.13. That means this addon won't work. Please fix it." The simple solution would be to go get the right precompiled module from pip. But I didn't know if it would even be able to figure out what a .nvda-addon file was or how to fix it. Turns out it did. It spent six minutes, unpacked the addon, did things to the python code, then gave me back a new .nvda-addon file. But instead of just getting the right version of the module, it...rewrote the entire addon to not use that module. And its rewrite included some new features, while removing some existing ones. I'm kind of both impressed that it was able to handle the entire task on its own, and baffled that it did it in the hardest possible way. It even updated the manifest file correctly. It also left commented out sections of code, and created some Python files it never wound up using for anything. You could kind of see it doing something, forgetting what it was doing, then going to do the same thing a different way, but not deleting the half-completed evidence of the first attempt it abandoned for some reason. If more and more people use AI, code is going to get really, really weird and organic, y'all.

I had something similar happen to me recently, where someone sent me an AI-generated fix to a bug that I couldn't figure out how to fix. At first I was impressed. The patch was complicated, and I wondered if there wasn't a better way to fix the bug since it appeared to be trying to reinvent logic that belonged elsewhere, but the patch did appear to work, so I took it. But then other people noticed problems with it. Eventually I came across a blog post that led me to the correct fix, which involved adding only a few lines of code. I feel like the AI patch did help me in terms of how to think about the problem. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2… if you're curious.

Tak jsem se dva roky před padesátkou rozhodl odejít z firmy s dobrým týmem a skvělým šéfem, abych se věnoval – opět na volné noze – svému projektu, který sice český průmysl potřebuje jako 🐖 drbání, ale za to to může být hezká finanční polízanice pro mě. ;)

Jenže, poslání. A nový impuls. A vůbec. 🏃🏻‍➡️

Víc (možná i tady, jestli se osmělím) tak za 10 dní.

Štěstí přeje odvážným a připraveným, ne? 🍀

beware of the gremlins when using httpc/hackney/poison:

elixirforum.com/t/strange-http…

Also don't forget that validating the certificate is not the same as validating the hostname you're connecting is actually covered by the certificate! That's why this had to be made:

github.com/deadtrickster/ssl_v…

Crazy that this is necessary


Strange httpc/hackeny behavior on ssl verify

I need to call HTTP API verifying SSL or not. However, I found both httpc and hackney behave strange - ssl option stay across different functions. See this code: bad_url1 = "https://expired.badssl.com/" bad_url2 = "https://wrong.host.badssl.

OTP has some catching up to do, that's the core issue IMHO. But they've come a long way in the last few years. As Erlang/Elixir have been experiencing huge growth these issues that nobody cared about are being solved with each new OTP release.

The next issue that will drive you nuts is no dual stack / Happy Eyeballs support. But you can get halfway there with this hack:

github.com/skunkwerks/inet64_t…

This will make all your connections try IPv6 first then fall back to IPv4. I'm pretty sure your httpc usage would not be able to connect to an IPv6-only website right now because httpc is hardcoded to only try an inet_tcp socket, never an inet6_tcp

Happy Eyeballs tries both simultaneously and picks the fastest path. If many A or AAAA values are published for the same record, it is somewhat smart about trying them in groups. (according to latest v3 spec I think?)

If someone has a broken AAAA record published for example, inet64_tcp will try the IPv6 host and then give up with a failure. It won't fall back to the A record because an AAAA record existed. That's all this does -- check for AAAA first and then connect if it exists, otherwise do the normal A record lookup and IPv4 socket connection.

You could probably modify that inet64_tcp to have error handling and be much more intelligent though! It's not complicated code, the trick is just knowing how to overwrite the OTP inet_tcp function which the library is already configured to do for you. You could definitely enhance the logic to make it more robust.

@gnomon Everything looks super sharp, indeed! They are giving me a small headache, as per usual, but it should go away in a couple of days.

My problem with multifocals is that I have my laptop raised over my desk, and I need to tilt my head back. My old monofocals weren't cutting it anymore.

Now let's see if I can get used to changing them when I sit up and down...

> The shopkeeps who are also the owners are so appreciative [of customers paying with cash] as it's essentially a 5-7% "tip".

wtf? How high do you think transaction fees are? Cash is EXPENSIVE to deal with as a business. And paying with cards tricks people into tipping more than they normally would.
