I know some stuff about it, including unmasking the author of the puzzle: https://boston.conman.org/2021/05/05
If someone wants to work on cracking this numbersstation, I would be glad to contribute.
As I unfollowed someone who'd retooted one of their ads five or six times in the past day or so, and am seeing people both leave and talk about growing the Fediverse, I'm thinking about whether people are seeking parasocial or personal relationships from social media. And how much we lose when we're not clear on that distinction in our goals.
Speaking of odd websites.
Here's one: https://www.numbersstation.info/
I have managed to find the person who is behind it and wrote them an E-Mail. It seems like it's a challenge, but I'm yet to crack it.
There's an easy #CTF flag on my personal website: https://memorici.de
Actually, I make #CTF challenges for every website I make and put them there as easter eggs.
I want someone to get this particular one so bad.
The reason is that the challenge that I made for my personal website is also personal. It's a tale of an old friend who has passed, memories of teenage years and, really, the quintessence of the meaning behind the domain name.
As I said, I would rate this challenge as easy, in #CTF terms, it doesn't involve actual hacking or even API interactions, whereas the challenge that I put on https://doma.dev is likely to be hard or at least intermediate.
Good hunting, if you are up for it. And if you know of some random websites with flags, ping me.
CUSTODIAN CLEANUP ANNOUNCEMENT
We have put an instance-wide silence on two fediverse fuckwads, @stux and @supernovae, because they, as operators of large instances, are being dicks to .art, a much smaller instance, and are doing so in ways that raises all sorts of red flags, as they try to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions, and try to frame .art as the aggressor instead.
This moderation action will persist until the heat death of the universe, or until they stop being assholes.

Viktor Orbán is Putin's Gauleiter, ruling over Russian ally Hungary.
Orbán says Putin is not a war criminal and Ukraine is not a sovereign country.
Hungary is a member of NATO and the EU and wield's Russia's veto in those bodies.
Haha, the guy wrote off russia as a "colonised" / "poorer" country on par with the African countries.
A bit of a joke given that russia steals gold and diamonds from Africa too.
Hopefully, unintentional.

Please watch this, even if you know this stuff already.
Thought I would start sharing some of the work I did for Kobold Press's Cities and Towns.
I really enjoyed working on this and Marc was a great art director.

Ukraine’s biggest enemy is the western belief that it cannot beat putin. Now is the time to rethink that
by Keir Giles
Extract
Until now, western backers have provided Ukraine with enough to survive but not to win. So, the Chatham House report concludes, the time is now to lift restrictions on the weapons systems supplied to Ukraine, and what #Ukraine can do with them, allowing Kyiv to achieve the defeat of russia that is essential for all our safety.

Colour version of this shot. I purposely went out to capture photography of this lovely occurrence at Cyprus Docklands Light Railway station. I really love the dramatic shadows created by the architecture here!

What we decided to do instead is to define two macros on the side. `defprod` is `defdata` that doesn't generate default constructors. It should be compatible with `defsum` out of the box, but we, for the time being, have the "no-new" counterpart called `defunion`.
Because unions are cool.
This way we don't break existing code, but allow easy to write smart constructors that don't upset #dialyzer.
The code is already live in the #GooLang #Algae fork: https://github.com/doma-engineering/algae-goo
My personality type is couner-culture #Elixir developer.
There's so much top-level content on Youtube to learn bleeding edge stuff from and it has like 100 views.
I won't give an example of what made me write this toot, because it's made in the enemy country, but yeah.
We're leaps and bounds away from #MIT #OCW, so much stuff that's even better, and it's a tremendously high bar to set.
I think that **healthy** (mentally & physically) people with access to computers / mobile phones that complain about them not being able to change anything in their lives are, well, wrong.
