In case it might be useful to anyone else, I just wrote a quick Chrome extension to download all PDFs on CourtListener when there are multiple attachments to one docket entry.

this episode of ALAB is almost five years old but still a joy to listen to in the wake of the judge's ruling today that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto

I suspect Tom McKay didn't know how right he was when he wrote in Gizmodo in December 2021:

"There should be newspapers that we work at where we do this," says Jonathan M. Katz, who was the first to note that Senator Katie Britt had apparently brazenly lied while recounting an anecdote in her bizarre State of the Union rebuttal.

I just finally deployed something I've been working on for a few weeks now: a feed of my writing, posting, reading, and other various activity that lives on my website at https://www.mollywhite.net/feed!

I've admired the POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE; "Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere") model for a long time, but only finally found the time and energy to put something together that I'm actually happy with.

crypto folks out there like "is this anything?" while searching around for the next narrative to draw in new bagholders

molly0xfff, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) to random

The feed is built on top of the reading list software I've been running for a few years, and it ingests posts from Citation Needed.

I can also write posts in the microblog and automatically crosspost them to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky, while keeping the original post on my site. Like this (https://www.mollywhite.net/micro/entry/202403091817)!

It's still super alpha, and I'm sure it will require a lot of bugfixes and future dev, but it's been really fun to work on some web software and move further in the indieweb direction.

ngl https://url-parts.glitch.me/ is one of the most useful websites i've come across in a long time

anyone have any good suggestions for lightweight local testing when implementing ActivityPub? would be nice to test signature verification and simulate various activities without spinning up a whole local Mastodon server or prematurely deploying my super alpha software

super cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes

"but no one would do it if it was opt-in!"

yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM

so infuriating. open source maintainers have a hard enough time without random people shitting up their repos trying to score crypto tokens.

Have you ever wanted to start editing #Wikipedia, but got overwhelmed or felt like you didn't know where to start? Every time I encourage people to start editing, I hear that, so I'm trying to help.

it takes a lot to get me to willingly pick up the phone, but i just called my senators to urge them to vote no on #KOSA and you should too.

there are some script templates going around if you prefer to have a reference, here's one:

if you know me you know i love a good takedown of shoddy, irresponsible journalism. this one from @mmasnick is a banger.

frustrating to see headlines about a "$290 million" hack out of even reputable security media like @BleepingComputer. actual loss is probably a tenth of that, at most.

a good time to remind you about notional value in crypto: https://blog.mollywhite.net/cryptocurrency-market-caps-and-notional-value/
