I added `picows` support to the UNICORN Binance WebSocket API.

The benchmark started as a simple library comparison and ended up improving UBWA itself too.

Results:

⚡ up to **2× throughput** on small Binance messages
🧠 about **26% lower average CPU usage**
📨 **138M+ live messages** per implementation
✅ no picows-specific stalls or unrecoverable streams in the 24h soak

`websockets` still remains the default for now.

Why?

Because 24 hours and 138 million messages are strong evidence, but they are not the same as months of production use across many different systems.

So picows is opt-in until broader real-world usage proves it further.

Full benchmark, bugs found, proxy changes and reasoning:

#introduction time! My name is Matt, I'm new to veganism.social, but not new to the #Fediverse. I first joined in 2018 on a #mastodon instance that's probably gone by now. I've been leaving and coming back over the years due to health and life circumstances, but I've been consistently back on for a while.

Anyways, I'm an #opensource web developer (#php / #vue), #punk / #metal musician, #anarchist, #antifascist as hell, #feminist, #ally, and hater of #bigtech and what #ai is doing to our planet. Speaking of our planet, I am a #vegan for health and ethical reasons, but I am not going to be shitty towards people if they're not.

I'm in the process of building out my own little spot on the #indieweb / #smallweb so I can return to running my mouth on a blog.

If I followed you, it's probably because we have common interests, or I enjoy your brand of #shitposting. Or you've activated my inner-geek with #startrek and #videogames.

Anyways, thanks for reading all of this. I hope the attached picture of Marvin the Mushroom has brightened your feed in some way.

Sábado à noite aqui e eu fazendo uma volta ao "passado" (2021 foi ontem!) e pesquisando sobre uma história curiosa: para quem não sabe, a rede social do Trump, Truth Social, usa o código do Mastodon como base e quando foi lançada não deu os créditos devidos.

O Mastodon é um software livre publicado sob a licença #AGPLv3, que exige que qualquer serviço que o utilize torne seu código-fonte e quaisquer modificações nele acessíveis publicamente. Significa que se alguém quiser copiar o Mastodon e criar uma outra plataforma baseado no código dele, precisa também abrir o código-fonte para todo mundo ver e usar. O princípio é mais ou menos o de que, se vc usa o código (trabalho) alheio gratuitamente, concorda em compartilhar o resultado do seu trabalho com todo mundo também.

O Eugen, conhecido como Eugênio no mundo lusófono, o criador do Mastodon, precisou notificar a empresa do Trump para que eles dessem os créditos e abrissem e publicassem o código-fonte da plataforma Truth Social.

Veja a assimetria da relação: um dos mais conhecidos projetos do Fediverso fazendo frente com o presidente dos EUA pedindo para eles respeitarem a licença do software. Significa que a empresa do Trump que dizia que eles mesmo tinham feito a Truth Social, foram obrigados a reconhecer que copiaram o código da mais conhecida rede social alternativa, o Mastodon. Feito por uma pessoa e mantido por uma comunidade que tem absoluta rejeição à pessoa do Trump e a tudo o que ele representa.

Hoje é possível encontrar uma seção na rede trumpista que menciona os dois projetos de código aberto em que a plataforma Truth Social se baseia (Mastodon para o backend e Soapbox para o frontend) e, nessa página, é disponibilizado um arquivo ZIP com o suposto código-fonte.

Digo "suposto" pois não significa que aquele código é o que realmente está sendo usado atualmente.

Mas sempre tem gente muito bacana nesse mundo, né? E o Evan Boehs decidiu investigar o que tinha nesse código-fonte e comparar com a plataforma online. Óbvio que o código não batia - o arquivo zip não estava atualizado. Ele notificou a empresa do Trump e depois de alguma demora, ele recebeu o código "atualizado". Segue o link para o código-fonte de 2022: github.com/boehs/truthsocial/t…

E outra pessoa muito bacana chamada Jasmin pegou esse novo código e comparou com o do Mastodon para saber o que a equipe do Trump mudou, e em breve vou postar um resumo em português aqui que é bem interessante. Spoiler: eles excluíram a conexão com o resto do Fediverso, entre outras coisas.

OpenAI’s autonomous AI agents involved in cyberattack on RubyGems

A swarm of AI bots attacked the open-source platform RubyGems in May. AI experts traced the source back to OpenAI.

So, I’m considering forking an #OpenSource project. If you know my career, this isn’t new to me.

However, the motivation is fairly unusual: The project has user-hostile versioning. Breaking changes keep getting hoisted to users and the maintainer “uses SemVer” but refuses to go above 1.0.0. (And users are big mad but they don’t seem to care).

So, the plan is to create a commit-level tracking version but bumping it to a major version on every breaking change.

Anyone seem anyone do thar before?

Mais qu'est ce qu'est ce qu'un #Génocide ? 🤔

Un génocide est l'extermination physique, intentionnelle et systématique, totale ou partielle, d'un groupe humain en raison de ses origines nationales, ethniques, raciales ou religieuses.

Tel que defini dans la Convention pour la prévention et la répression du crime de génocide (adoptée par l'ONU en 1948). Plus de 150 pays ont ratifié cette convention au fil du temps pour s'engager à PUNIR et PREVENIR ce crime. La #France l'a ratifiée en octobre 1950.

Once one is signed up for (creating a new account doesn't require your email, phone number, name, nothing like that), the second can be added as a backup "relay" server, and it'll automatically fail over, *should the first server ever go down*.

From what I glean, Dystopia is the most stable app, but I worry the developer is no longer active to continue developing the app.
The community in R/dystopia is very active, and recently, I brought up a suggestion to encourage the dev to open source the app.
I feel like making the app open source would allow for the community to take over the development and continue the life of the app, allowing Blind people continued stable access to reddit on iOS.

A backup is only useful if you can restore from it. For important files, keep at least three copies, use two types of storage, and keep one copy somewhere separate from your main device. Test the backup by restoring a few files occasionally.

What if your browser could run an LLM locally without sending the data to a server?

That’s exactly what Ben Houston explores with Three-LLM, a WebGPU-based inference engine built on top of Three.js.

The project demonstrates how Three.js can go far beyond 3D rendering by using its WebGPU capabilities to execute LLM inference directly on the user’s GPU. It supports models including GPT-2, SmolLM2, Phi, Qwen, and Llama-style architectures, loading standard Hugging Face checkpoints directly in the browser.

What makes this particularly interesting from an engineering perspective is the optimization work. By reducing GPU command submissions, avoiding unnecessary prompt logits, reusing prompt prefixes, and moving sampling operations onto the GPU, the project achieves significant performance improvements.

For example, one optimization increased TinyStories decode performance from roughly 120 to 566 tokens/sec, a 4.7x improvement.

The bigger takeaway: WebGPU is increasingly turning the browser into a viable compute platform for AI inference.

Running smaller models locally could have major implications for privacy, latency, offline applications, and AI-powered experiences that don’t require a traditional backend inference service.

And this is just the beginning. FP16, quantization, better prefill performance, and kernel fusion could push browser-based inference considerably further.

A fascinating look at where WebGPU, JavaScript, and local AI are heading.

The article specifically reports the 4.7× TinyStories improvement and explains how Three-LLM executes inference through Three.js TSL compute shaders and WebGPU.

Edited: I shouldn't be posting at 4:14 AM my time, finding typos after the fully send. I will probably be fixing those, so sorry for the edited alerts.

So, after looking at KeePassXC's Github and making note of their openness to LLM contributions and their own usage for small features (every addiction starts with just a little sniff or a few uses). The Copilot Commits were enough to put me off of KeePassXC. They haven't fully lost themselves to slop yet, but the "tool" is designed to instill dependence and deskill it's user.

I decided to install KeePass and it was dogwater, the quality difference was so unbalanced. It hurt my eyes, that motivates me to get better at coding and learn the specific language they use to make KeePass on Linux better. As damn, that was a poor showing. Some prompt buttons didn't even have text on them.

But then I found OneKeePass. No LLM Commits, people that are active and engaged with the project they are working on. OneKeePass has a quality UI, comes in AppImage form in addition to .deb, .rpm as well. Offline, the browser plug-in is in alpha, so I won't use it for the time being.

They are using a language that I am absolutely unfamiliar with. I am learning Python right now, C is on the back burner until I get more confident with Python. So, I'd not be able to contribute, but I could at least make use of it.

There's a lot of folks complaining (rightfully) about the money being thrown toward Omarchy while other FOSS projects are struggling for funds.

I'm not a tech billionaire or millionaire (thousandaire, maybe?) but all this reminds me I could do better at donating to things I use myself. So I'm going to throw some money at two projects I use, and try to remember to keep doing that more regularly. I humbly suggest other folks do the same. It'd be great to see a few FOSS projects report a big bump in donations as a protest against DHH.

A lot is being said about DHH's politics and the silliness of throwing money at what amounts to a pile of configuration scripts -- but there's something else at play here: it is an us-against-them play by a minority of wealthy folks who like keeping other people divided.

FOSS isn't about that: open source became mighty because of its community. If we lose that, we lose everything. A handful of people with too much money have managed to funnel something like $13 million into Omarchy for the next few years. What can millions of people do? Let's see.

Sharkey is generally no longer actively maintained. Much like IceShrimp, which shifted its focus from IceShrimp-js to IceShrimp.net, Sharkey is effectively in "maintenance mode only." This means it still receives critical security updates and required patches, but it generally no longer tracks upstream Misskey development.

Sharkey's latest release: 2025.4.7

Misskey's latest release: 2026.9.0

I had to laugh when, back on January 13, 2026, they titled a release "2025.4.5 — We'll catch up, we promise." The release right before that had been 6 months earlier. In all the time since, they've only pushed out 2 security updates. They are now well over a year behind Misskey's development.

If anyone has the time and skills, I hope someone builds a script to migrate Sharkey sites back to Misskey. Since Sharkey is a fork of Misskey (as was FireFish), it should be possible and is a smart precaution.

Follow-up on the honeytoken project: I tried to add Azure support to get feature parity with the AWS module — basically the same idea, just App Registration + Service Principal instead of IAM, and Event Grid instead of EventBridge.
The infrastructure part works fine. The detection part doesn’t. Azure Activity Log only records events that a resource provider actually processed, and RBAC rejects zero-permission identities before they ever reach one. I tested three real AuthorizationFailed calls just to be sure — none of them showed up in Activity Log.
The “real” fix would be Entra Sign-in Logs, which do capture failed auth attempts regardless of RBAC. But those require a P1 license, and every free path to them is currently closed. So the Azure module is marked experimental in the README instead of pretending it’s finished.

From the "Is this a pigeon?" meme template, where a male anime character is happy gesturing towards a butterfly. Top text says "tech companies", the text under the butterfly says "funding fascists". The bottom text says "Is this marketing? "

Are there general purpose programming IDEs other than VS Code that don't absolutely suck?

PyCharm is okay but kinda bothers me (also I don't like needing to install multiple IDEs for different languages), and it won't use my terminal environment properly for some reason.

A lot of the other IDEs are actually just fancy text editors without language features.

I really am worried about the direction VS Code is headed with like all the AI features and other enshittification. I don't want to wake up one day and see they've ruined something else too. Any recommendations?

Wilber, the GIMP mascot sees a crawling caterpillar, catches it in both hands/paws, and it turns into a butterfly which Wilber sets free. The text: Don’t squash bugs... FREE THEM!

I (@grimmy) am going to state this as clearly as possible here in the hopes it'll propagate quickly.

#Pidgin, and the other projects we maintain alongside it, have never and will never knowingly accept AI-assisted anything.

We proudly respect all licenses, #OpenSource and proprietary, and will not taint our license with whatever you think AI-generated code is licensed under.

A more formal document is now in the works in the hopes that our precious volunteer time will be spared.

I spent two days stress testing the engine and the API interface with Dex & Dalvik.

Even though there are already specialized tools out there for Android reversing, these two guys have some unique properties compared to the canonical architectures.

Dalvik is a bytecode based VM and it's designed to run Dex files.

Testing them exposed limitations in REDasm's API design where "Processor" and "Loader" plugins are isolated and cannot share data directly (there are ways to notify data though, eg. interrupts in x86).

The Dex loader is now expressive enough to map symbols, names, functions, etc. where Dalvik expects them.

This capability ultimately led to a much better type system.

Pixelix is now free!

After two and a half years of developing Pixelix and having it as a paid app, we've decided to switch things up and make Pixelix free for everyone.

We’re really excited to see where this takes Pixelix, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us so far.
