  • Isn't it possible to follow an individual on Mastodon from here ?

  • Yes it would be good to do another roadmap.

    Although, last time what ended up happening is I plodded through all the roadmap items while everyone else continued to do whatever seemed fun at the time. I wanna do fun stuff!

  • I'm still new to the Fediverse. What are your favorite unique things that your instance does? What do you wish was more widely adopted across instances/federated platforms?

  • One of them, yes.

  • Claude Code's source code appears to have leaked: here's what we know

    Jump

  • If you installed or updated Claude Code via npm on March 31, 2026, between 00:21 and 03:29 UTC, you may have inadvertently pulled in a malicious version of axios (1.14.1 or 0.30.4) that contains a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). You should immediately search your project lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or bun.lockb) for these specific versions or the dependency plain-crypto-js. If found, treat the host machine as fully compromised, rotate all secrets, and perform a clean OS reinstallation.

    Lol 😂

  • It is not. Being able to do that was on the 2025 roadmap but it was the only thing that didn't get completed.

    You can use the little bell icon to be notified whenever an account posts something, which is kinda similar to following.

  • Government halves fuel excise to cut price on petrol and diesel

    Jump

  • Hmm, yes, "politics is the art of the possible", good point.

    Although, in a few weeks when it becomes clear that the govt effectively sat on it's hands and did stuff all while the obvious situation unfolded predictably, that's not going to be great for their polling numbers either.

  • Government halves fuel excise to cut price on petrol and diesel

    Jump

  • Govt responds to fuel shortage by pushing the price down, thereby increasing consumption and maintaining dependence.

    This is fine.

  • What’s your opinion on tags.pub?

    Jump

  • I don't know. Last I saw was a PR languishing for years.

    Preparing for supply disruptions (NZ edition)

  • What’s your opinion on tags.pub?

    Jump

  • This is an attempt to work around the lack of support for groups in Mastodon.

    Anyone who wants tags.pub to be a thing should just use the threadiverse instead.

  • Iran weighing possible withdrawal from Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

    Jump

  • Pretty much inevitable once Trump tore up the nuclear treaty during his first term.

  • Is the war in the Middle East is Australia's COVID 2.0 moment?

    Jump

  • Short term:

    Free public transport.

    Free bikes for everyone.

    Begin emergency repairs on any old busses that can be pressed into service.

    Implement a priority system for who gets fuel:

    Tier 1: healthcare, emergency services

    Tier 2: food production & distribution

    Tier 3: essential infrastructure (power, water, telecoms)

    Everything else: on yer bike, son (or heavily rationed)

    Ration fertilizer. A lot of it is wasted, currently.

    Daily govt briefings - what's happening, what is being prioritised, what people should do. Maintain clear communication and transparency.

    Medium term (but start NOW):

    Electrify all busses.

    Trams. Melbourne is going to need a lot more of those.

    Repair neglected railways.

    Move freight by rail and ship as much as possible.

    Build cycling infrastructure. Secure places to park many many bikes next to train stations - big sheds.

    Remove regulatory barriers for local food production, farmers markets. Encourage urban gardening, local trade networks.

    Plant corn fucking everywhere - ethanol.

    Strategic reserves of critical medicines, etc.

    Diversify food production - for local needs, not for export market needs.

  • US may deploy up to 17,000 troops near Iran as war enters new phase - WSJ

    Jump

  • It'd stop them launching ships to lay mines, or launching midget submarines and naval drones, which is a start. It might keep the Iranians too busy fighting on land to aim at ships. It'd basically be an open wound for USA though - completely unsustainable.

    Then there's the fantasy of naval escorts for tankers. Each tanker would require a couple of ships to shadow them (anti-air, anti-sub, anti-drone) for the entire length of the gulf (not just the strait) and in normal times 120 tankers pass through there every day. You'd need a fleet ~400 ships strong, running 24/7 (no repairs or rest). And it only takes one hit from an anti-ship missile and hundreds of sailors die. So that ain't happening.

    It's a trap.jpg

    Jump

  • To do that they'd need to occupy 1000+ kms of extremely rugged coast. That's quite a commitment...
