“We repeated the analysis on bot traffic hitting the “post”, “reply”, and “like” endpoints for a specific social media platform and similarly did not find an unexpected shift before or during the event period from either Russian-origin IPs or globally. Based on our assessment, the data does not appear to support the claims that the strikes crippled social media manipulation”

12:00 PM is stupid. It should either be 12:00 AM or 0:00 PM.

"Is your keyboard wireless?"
"Yes, but only 2%"
"What?"

PSA: No, Russian bot traffic has not significantly decreased. Only Yandex’s network is mostly silent, which doesn’t have a huge impact on automated requests from all of Russia.

And neither has much to do with social media bots. Stop spreading this kind of misinformation.

@lain yes. And then I'd die from a heart attack

Thanks, I will absolutely not use that feature ever.

Das Post-Mortem zum #DENIC-Ausfall ist jetzt nicht ganz so gut wie die von Cloudflare, aber vielleicht kommen ja noch etwas mehr Details:

Who could've seen that one coming? What's that? Everyone? Oh.

Tried #Moltbot/ #OpenClaw today. Made it do 5 different things to try it out. It literally failed all of them. It didn't even manage to set up a simple RSS alert. It created the cronjob to check for a new article every 30 minutes and then just deactivated it right away.

I asked it multiple times whether it was disabled, because I could clearly see it in the UI as disabled, but it always tried to gaslight me into believing that it's activated and that the UI is wrong.

Needless to say, the cronjob didn't run once.

I don't understand how people can extract (even temporary) value out of these things. It's like trying to get a kid to help you with your taxes.

@Jtuchel @hetzner und vor allem: Nie auf die Links direkt drücken, sondern immer die Website manuell aufrufen und einloggen!

@aaribaud good thing those same applications won’t crash hard as soon as someone enters a date 12 years in the future.

@aaribaud sounds like an issue with MySQL to me. If you have an application existing for so long, there’s going to be breaking changes. And it wouldn’t be the first braking change. We’re nearing 2038 rapidly. I don’t see “oh, we must support 30 year old systems that for some reason need to update to MySQL 10” as a valid excuse for not fixing such a big issue.

@aaribaud but it is a problem for TIMESTAMP fields. I don’t know why Kea uses TIMESTAMP instead of DATETIME, but honestly, I see no reason why a 64 bit database should struggle with 2038+ timestamps at all.

Kinda shocked that this isn't fixed yet. 2038 isn't that far off anymore.

@kaia but where will I get my daily recommended dose of shitposts then? ☹️

Can someone explain to me why my smart home hub #Homey only responds to WiFi pings when I touch it? Is it just... lonely?

Issue resolved; closing ticket

@amszmidt @androcat @hailey do you understand the concept of jokes?
