The lockdown project for one of my parents neighbours was to build a scale model of the lake district from Lego. It’s now in the local museum.

If anybody wants another hilarious online dispute issue, back in 2016 two teens had a dispute over Minecraft, so one DDoS’d the Minecraft server’s DNS server - that broke Dyn, which took down internet access across the US East Coast as they were such a key supplier.

I had to do a radio show on NPR about that one and the presenter kept asking me if it was Putin — and I was like, no, it’s teenagers. Advanced Persistent Teenagers. The show went on for an hour of me just saying ‘yo the net sucks’.

An update on the Fediverse spam issue:

- It’s not just Mastodon.

- Most of the targets receiving the spam use Misskey, and are in Japan.

- Most Mastodon users aren’t being targeted, so aren’t seeing it.

- It is a dispute between two people over a social issue, after asking them about it.

- It is fully automated.

- The spam continues to be sent and probably won’t stop any time soon, these guys need to star in a BL drama and make up.

computers are a completely normal field where there are still existing databases built on descendants of something called PICK OS, an early database made in the 60s to organize parts for a helicopter that never existed, for a system called Generalized Information Retrieval Language System (GIRLS), as created by a guy named Dick Pick.

BREAKING: One homestuck reader admits to having installed the popular Linux distribution Arch "just to feel something".
