  • One random use I found years ago was that I could instantly search for Comcast business boxes and then export the IPs as a csv, run a headless browser script to try default login creds, then scrape the wireless Mac, ssid, and password which I could plot on a map using wigle wifi wardriving data. It’s pretty cool. Maybe the monitoring service will come in handy if it ever notifies me of anything I should be concerned about on any of my IPs, hard to turn down a $5 lifetime pass.




  • At some point I exceeded 500, but I also have firefox simple tab groups (formerly known as panorama) so I’m usually not looking at a window of more than 100 at a time, and any tabs I haven’t visited since last launch aren’t loaded into ram until I click over to them so they behave more like bookmarks except instead of creating/organizing/cleaning up bookmarks in addition to tabs I just browse/organize/close tabs. Each rabbit hole I go down gets a tab group so if I’m done with a topic I can just close the whole group.


  • Someone needs to hook revolt up to a matrix homeserver. I’m kinda surprised there still isn’t like a discord UI clone matrix client along the lines of how elk.zone is a twitter UI inspired frontend for mastodon. Having not used discord much I’m not sure what’s really missing, maybe it’s just the stricter adherence to spaces on the left bar and the lack of non-current-space-related channels listed above the current space’s channel list.

    Tbh I kinda hate how discord works (and how impossible it feels managing being in 30-40 servers and figuring out which server that doot-doot sound came from when at least 10-15 at a minimum have unread badges even 30 seconds after I mark everything everywhere as read), but I do love the look and feel.



  • The only realistic thing that the NDA could have contained was stipulations around leaking details about Threads. Who cares. Some admins probably wanted an inside look so they agreed to not leak any details. That does nothing to put their instances under the control of Meta. Yeah sure the admins are “controlled by the contract”… to not share any secrets about Threads. Again who cares.

    People dreaming up scenarios about the NDAs including clauses that let Meta control instances or their admins are delusional. As someone working in tech I sign NDAs all the time when I visit my friend’s companies. It doesn’t mean they have any control over me besides stopping me from leaking stuff that I see inside the company.
