Mostly about Internet and ice hockey
A significant github issue was opened a few days ago by luckygreen : [BUG][SECURITY] CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md instruction compliance is architecturally unenforced — documented security consequences and 10+ independent reports #53223 Claude code allows a project to declare persistent context and instructions to control Claude Code’s behavior in a file named CLAUDE.md. It seems that these instructions…
I don’t want to brag but I finally added a follow button to my static jekyll blog. Because it uses Activity Intents , a visitor can remotely follow my fediverse account regardless of where their host server lives as long as their server supports Activity Intents. The good news is that mastodon.social already supports this as it is running the nightly build. It will be included in the next major…
Cindy Cohn , executive director for EFF was on the Daily Show. We need better options and people are developing them, right? There’s the whole Mastodon universe. I know it’s not very big yet but it’s a decentralized place where people can build safe communities for themselves.

Yesterday, I checked in some code so that my Fediverse server can respond to requests to the api/v2/instance endpoint so that code of conduct rules can be fetched. Although the code is already running, I plan to add more on this feature so that the server can better communicate the code of conduct to its peers. This is related to what Robert W. Gehl calls the “covenantal fediverse” in his book…
I was glad to hear this week that Texas A&M and Houston will finally be playing each other on September 12 at Sugarland Ice Center . I attended UofH’s first game in 80 years 2 years ago and they’ve done a great job building up the team since then and I expect them to be competitive for the first game of the season.
Activitypub addresses the problem of participating in a decentralized social network with a low barrier to entry. You participate through the server you have joined but often times the people you want to interact with reside on other servers. For instance, if you want to follow a friend, visiting that friend’s url does not provide a simple follow button. That simple follow button is on your own…
Bitcoin failed. J.P. Koning notes in The end of El Salvador’s bitcoin payments experiment : But here was a government that was going to champion the stuff, nullifying all of the headwinds against bitcoin in one stroke! The government meddling hypothesis would be put to test. The Salvadoran government used a combination of sticks and carrots to kick-start adoption. First, let's list the carrots.…
Deadly D.C. Plane Crash Comes Months After Congress Ignored Warning About Traffic at Reagan Airport As the new administration is playing stupid games, yesterday morning, prior to yesterday’s aviation disaster , professor Thomas Schaller cautioned: An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called “buyouts” and other attacks on federal employees…
As I just registered for a new season of beer league hockey starting this weekend, I thought about an episode of C’est comme ça que je t’aime I recently watched which is set in 1974 Sainte-Foy, Quebec City . Nearly all the 1974 Quebec cultural references are new to me and in this episode, there is an adventure in a hockey arena and you can pause the video in a few places and see signage in the…
