Chasing Nirvana with Priya Hutner
NEW 11-PART PODCAST SERIES "THE INSTASCAMMER" - THE INSTASCAMMER
In this episode, Kacey interviews author and journalist Priya Hutner about her memoir, Chasing Nirvana, and her experiences in the Kashi ashram led by a Brooklyn-born female guru known as Ma. Priya explains how her father brought the family into the New York-based spiritual community, which later centralised in Florida, and describes her dual life as a largely unsupervised teen in the city and later as a devoted adult who returned with her two sons seeking meaning and “enlightenment.”
She outlines daily ashram life, Ma’s teachings, service work with people dying of AIDS, and the control, confusion, and moral complexity Priya faced as she rose to become CEO and Ma’s link to the outside world. Priya recounts her gradual exit, Ma’s death, ongoing contact with her mother who remains in the community, her current nature-based spirituality, and her book tour and song-titled chapters.

America’s New Relationship With Israel…It’s Complicated
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage at the United Nations last month, diplomats streamed for the exits. Three years after October 7, when much of the Western world rallied behind Israel in the wake of Hamas’ attack, the political ground has shifted.
Some of the biggest changes are happening here in the US. Two years ago, Abbas Alawieh helped lead the Uncommitted movement, pressuring Democrats over Gaza. Now he’s running for Michigan state Senate, and Kamala Harris is calling him. Elsewhere in Michigan, AIPAC and its allies spent close to $30 million backing Abdul El-Sayed’s opponent in the Democratic Senate primary. El-Sayed won anyway.
For some voters, the prominence of Israel itself is striking.
“I don’t know why Israel has become the pivotal point,” said Mimi Price-Miletic, a Democratic voter in Michigan. “There are so many issues in this country that we should be dealing with, and you’re worried about what’s happening, like, millions of miles away?”
And the divide crosses party lines. Younger Republicans are questioning US support for Israel, even as party leaders advance deeper defense cooperation. Meanwhile, AIPAC faces new challenges to its influence, as younger Jewish political groups, like J Street and Jewish Voice for Peace, offer sharply different visions for what should come next.
This week on Reveal, reporter Najib Aminy follows the new fault lines forming around the US–Israel relationship and asks: As the old political consensus is tested, who gets to shape what replaces it?

The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century
Last week, the NY Times dropped a list of The 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century, as picked by a panel of “more than 500 influential stars, showrunners and other notable names in the world of TV”. The rankings have already been dissected online six ways from Sunday, but the link got lost in my forest of browser tabs and so here it is, a bit late but still interesting.
Here are some of my personal favorites from the list and arrowed opinions on whether some should be higher or lower on the list: Halt and Catch Fire (↑), Reservation Dogs (↑), Shogun (↑↑↑), The Great British Bake Off, Planet Earth, Downton Abbey (↓), The Good Place (↑), Normal People, Schitt’s Creek, Andor (↑↑), Severance (↓), Band of Brothers (↑), Deadwood (↑), The Crown (↓), Chernobyl (↑), The Americans (↑), Six Feet Under (↓), Girls (↓), Arrested Development, The Office (US), 30 Rock, Game of Thrones, Fleabag (↑), Succession, Mad Men, The Wire (↑), and Breaking Bad (↓).
There are many excellent shows that didn’t make the list — the one that immediately pops into my mind is My Brilliant Friend. As for stuff that’s on there that perhaps could be replaced with something more worthy, I’ll hold my tongue. I do think the inclusion of some of the more recent shows on the list will not age well when this is looked back on in, say, 10 years.

26 – Remuer le couteau dans la plaie (Léa)
Il y a des violences qui ne s'arrêtent pas le jour des faits.
Léa a été victime d'une agression.
Mais ce n'était pas la fin de son histoire.Dans cet épisode, elle raconte aussi la victimisation secondaire.
Le regard des autres.
Le silence.
La violence politique.Et cette impression d'être abandonnée lorsque ses anciens collègues de sa section politique ont davantage soutenu son agresseur qu'elle.
Parce qu'après les violences, il faut parfois affronter une autre épreuve : celle de ne pas être crue, entendue ou protégée.

CrossX 2.8 is coming out this week

I like the way AI is evolving, with Muse from Meta and Dots from OpenAI. Even the main programs, ChatGPT for example, are starting to provide real world services that the providers, ie banks, groceries, airlines, health care portals etc should be providing. They could possibly take over commerce the way Amazon has taken over shopping. There's room to improve in everything about the way we do business. And it seems like they've been researching this and experimenting (of course) and this is what they've come up with. Haven't tried them yet, but it's a good direction to go. It really should be Apple and Google doing this, btw. Also ChatGPT can help you understand your credit score. That's something I'd seriously like to ask some questions about.

BloggerCon and RSS 2.0
After running the first Bloggercon at Harvard in 2003 a famous tech company had a meetup to talk about the same stuff in a private invite-only session in the Bay Area. The invitations went to all the discussion leaders at Bloggercon. People I chose. I was not invited. Only one of my friends told me about it. Not sure if any of them went.Second time, Google invited a bunch of people I was working on with RSS 2.0 to a private meeting. Most of the people I was working with, but again, not me. Had I been there, I would have said don't reinvent, let's work together, do all the things you want, but slowly, with real software and real users, but that wasn't the plan.
In the first case I think the publisher was trying to decide if they should compete with BloggerCon, and Google wanted to build a protocol that was more ambitious than RSS 2.0. They likely were sincere in that, but they had not learned that bootstrapping worked way better than Immaculate Conception, where a small group of insiders invent something complicated out of thin air that rocks the world. If you look at history, there aren't many examples of that. Eventually, as I understand it, that became ActivityPub. I think things would have turned out much better if Google had kicked back and let the process that got us to RSS 2.0 continue. But everyone wants to work with the BigCo, I've learned repeatedly that it's much more likely to work if you join forces with individual developers, not big companies.
I only held four BloggerCon's, I would have been happy to work with a publishing company and turn it over to them, with some rules about what they could and couldn't do with it, for example it was a user's conference, the tech industry was welcome, but it wasn't for them. When we did BloggerCon at Stanford in 2004 that was apparently very hard for the tech people to get. Many of them tried to pitch their products and were prevented from doing so.

“Hide this post for me” is a great feature of Twitter-like social media. In Bluesky, it even hides the quote-posts for that post. And the whole thread? (That part I’m not sure of.) It’s, weirdly, permanent, though. I think it should be easy to undo if necessary. In Mastodon it’s doable, but a bit tricky. Every app like it should implement it.

Prince Was One of the First Players of The Oregon Trail
In this video, Patrick Hicks tells the story of the development of the classic educational video game The Oregon Trail and how Prince (you know, the genius musical artist) was one of the first people in the world to play the very first version of the game.
The basic story is that a college history major (Don Rawitsch) teamed up with two friends (Bill Heinemann and Paul Dillenberger), both of whom were math majors and had some programming experience, to make a computer game to liven up the history class that Rawitsch was student teaching. While developing the game, Heinemann & Dillenberger tested it out with some kids at the high school at which they were student teaching…and one of those kids was Prince Rogers Nelson.
Paul would later say that he heard about Prince before he even met him. One of the other teachers told him, “There’s this kid here who basically is running his own business. He’s this amazing musician who plays all these instruments and writes his own songs.” And then later, Paul realized that that was Prince.
But listen to Hicks tell the whole thing…it’s a good story. And if you want to hear a lot more of the story, here’s Gaming Historian’s feature-length documentary (the Prince anecdote is at ~24:00).
You can play the familar 1980s version of the The Oregon Trail online.

Il n’y a pas à faire des efforts ou se serrer la ceinture, tout à été prémédité, c’est une forme de terrorisme politique appliqué à grande échelle déguisé en crises à répétitions qui ne sont que le fruit de leurs propres décision politiques.
La dette Le climat La misère Les paradis fiscaux
Tout à été décidé.
l’inertie politique est la quintessence de l’exercice d’un mandat politique : s’engraisser et ne rien faire tout en prétendant savoir quoi faire pour se faire élire.

Beardos, Weirdos, and Donald Trump
Pete Hegseth, in an unconventional speech, announces that beardos, weirdos, and wimps are no longer welcome at the Department of War as his boss officially hit the road to campaign for Senate Republicans — whether they want him to or not. Jon and Dan react to Trump's event with Ken Paxton in Texas, Trump proclaiming his love for data centers in a wide-ranging interview with TIME, and Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt's embarrassing mix-up in a Judiciary Committee hearing with former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Then, Rev. Adam Hamilton, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Kansas, talks to Dan about what it'll take to elect the state's first Democratic senator in nearly 100 years, and why he considers himself both a liberal and a conservative.

Built vokoloko.cz – a privacy-focused local news aggregator made with Joomla & RSS (No ads, no tracking, no AI runtime)
Hi r/rss,
I wanted to share a project we recently launched called vokoloko.cz – a web-based local news aggregator for the Czech region.
What is Vokoloko.cz? It’s an automated content aggregator designed to fetch, parse, and display local news via RSS in a clean, distraction-free environment.
Key Principles & Tech Specs:
- No Tracking & No Ads: Completely private, lightweight, and loads instantly.
- No Account Required: Fully accessible to anyone without signing up.
- Built with Joomla!: Powered by standard RSS capabilities and custom extensions built on top of Joomla.
Zero AI at Runtime: While we used AI tools as coding assistants during development to write the extension scripts, the live site runs 100% on traditional, deterministic RSS ingestion—no AI-generated content or dynamic AI processing.
Our goal was to prove that classic web technologies (Joomla + RSS) can still deliver a fast, useful, and privacy-respecting news reader for local communities.
Check it out at https://vokoloko.cz
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions from the RSS community!

Vous saviez.
Nous savons prévoir. Vous avez décidé de ne pas gouverner.
Les enfants qui entreront à l’école en septembre 2031 sont nés. Vous les avez comptés. 643 905. Vous savez où ils vivent. Vous avez publié des projections jusqu’en 2070.
Et en septembre 2031, vous direz que vous ne pouviez pas prévoir.
Ce texte est écrit pour que cette phrase ne soit plus disponible.
À qui je parle
Pas à un homme. Un homme, ça se remplace, et vous comptez là-dessus.
Je parle à ceux qui signent. Au Premier ministre qui a signé le décret de 2006 transformant le Commissariat général du Plan en centre d’analyse, à celui qui a signé celui de 2013, à celui qui a signé la fusion de 2025. À la direction du Budget, à Bercy, dont le métier est d’arbitrer sans avoir à motiver, et qui a cherché 12 % d’économies sur le 1 % de Matignon consacré à penser le pays dans vingt ans. Aux ministres de la Justice, de la Santé, de l’Intérieur, de l’Éducation qui ont reçu les rapports, lu les chiffres et défendu en séance le budget qui les ignorait. Aux majorités, de droite comme de gauche, qui ont voté ces budgets chaque automne depuis trente ans. Aux conférences des présidents qui ont tenté, trois fois, de bloquer une loi sans étude d’impact, et aux neuf du Conseil constitutionnel qui, trois fois, vous ont donné raison.
Vous, c’est une chaîne de signatures. Elle a des noms, des dates et des numéros de décret. Vous êtes identifiables un par un, et vous avez organisé le système pour qu’on ne vous nomme jamais ensemble.
Je le fais ici.
Vous ne manquez de rien
Arrêtez de dire que vous ne saviez pas.
Vous saviez pour les tribunaux. Vos propres états généraux l’ont chiffré en 2022 : 1 500 magistrats, 3 000 greffiers, 2 000 agents. Vous saviez pour les urgences : votre Cour des comptes l’a écrit en 2024. Vous saviez pour les forêts : vos pompiers vous le disent chaque printemps. Vous saviez pour les professeurs : vous avez relevé le niveau de diplôme en 2022 sans même calculer ce que ça ferait au vivier, et vous avez fait marche arrière quand les classes sont restées sans enseignants.
Six mille affaires criminelles en attente. Six ans pour juger un viol. Ces chiffres ne sont pas les nôtres. Ce sont les vôtres, présentés par votre ministre, au conseil des ministres, en mars.
Vous n’avez pas un problème de connaissance. Vous n’avez jamais eu un problème de connaissance. Vous avez plus de données, plus de calcul et plus d’études que n’importe quel État avant vous, et vous commandez encore une étude, ce qui est une manière respectable de ne rien faire pendant dix-huit mois.
Rien ne vous manque. Sauf une obligation d’en tenir compte.
Vous avez fait le tri des paroles
Trois mille magistrats ont signé une tribune. Cinq mille cinq cents en une semaine. Six sur dix. Ils ont écrit qu’on leur laissait le choix entre juger vite et mal, ou juger bien dans des délais inacceptables. Un vice-procureur a écrit qu’il devait « survoler certains dossiers ». Un autre a parlé de « l’abattage ». C’est leur mot.
Vous avez appelé ça une doléance. Vous avez reçu une délégation.
Mettez la même information dans un tableau, une ligne, une colonne, « capacité soutenable : cent quatre-vingts dossiers », et elle devient de l’expertise. L’expertise, elle, entre dans vos arbitrages.
C’est la même information. Ce n’est pas le même pouvoir. Et c’est vous qui avez décidé, en amont de tout, quelle parole avait le droit de vous contraindre : celle du cabinet de conseil, oui. Celle du greffier qui ne tient plus, non.
Vous avez coupé ce qui ne proteste pas
Vous avez un mot pour la marge : une dépense.
Un camion qui ne roule pas coûte de l’argent. Un pompier qui attend coûte de l’argent. Un lit vide coûte de l’argent. Un magistrat de plus coûte de l’argent. Une école construite avant la saturation coûte de l’argent.
Alors vous avez coupé. Et regardez ce que vous avez coupé en premier.
À l’hôpital, en dix ans, les effectifs ont augmenté. La part des administratifs est restée la même. Celle des infirmiers aussi. Ce que vous avez supprimé, ce ne sont pas des gens. Ce sont des lits. Parce qu’un lit vide ne fait pas grève. Une réserve d’eau ne se syndique pas. Un camion qui ne roule pas n’écrit à personne.
Vous n’avez pas confondu efficacité et absence de marge. Personne n’a rien confondu. Quelqu’un a fermé des lits, quelqu’un d’autre a inscrit la fermeture en gain, et un troisième a signé. Ce sont des noms, des dates et des montants. Ce ne sont pas des circonstances.
Vous comptez très bien
Je ne vous accuse pas d’imprévoyance. Ce serait vous faire un compliment.
Il n’y aura jamais de journal télévisé pour les trois cents maisons qui n’ont pas brûlé. Pas de reportage sur l’enfant qui n’a pas été agressé parce que son dossier a été traité à temps. Pas de ruban à couper devant l’hôpital qui n’a pas été débordé. La prévention est invisible, et vous le savez mieux que quiconque.
Alors vous arbitrez contre elle. Et vous avez raison, dans votre calcul : ce que vous abandonnez ne se verra pas, ce que vous financez à la place se verra. Vous ne vous trompez pas. Vous comptez correctement.
C’est précisément pour ça qu’on ne vous demandera plus de bonne volonté.
Vous avez fait de la catastrophe un rite
L’été arrive. La forêt brûle. Vous découvrez le feu.
La rentrée arrive. Il manque des professeurs. Vous découvrez les enfants.
Les tribunaux débordent. Vous découvrez les dossiers. Les urgences saturent. Vous découvrez les malades.
Puis la crise quitte les journaux, et vous recommencez l’année suivante.
Ce n’est pas de l’oubli. Ce n’est pas de l’amnésie. Un cycle qui se reproduit à l’identique pendant trente ans n’est pas un dysfonctionnement. C’est un fonctionnement, et il fonctionne pour vous.
La catastrophe vous rend un service précis : elle transforme un arbitrage ancien en événement neuf. Un arbitrage a un auteur. Un événement tombe. Alors vous vous indignez, vous convoquez, vous ouvrez une enquête, et l’enquête vise toujours celui qui tenait le volant. Jamais celui qui avait vidé le réservoir quinze ans plus tôt.
Au printemps, après la mort d’une enfant, le président de la République a dit qu’il ne voulait « entendre aucun argument de moyens ». Bien sûr. L’argument de moyens, c’est le seul qui remonte jusqu’à lui.
Un pouvoir qui organise chaque année sa propre mise en accusation, à condition qu’elle porte sur ses agents et jamais sur ses arbitrages, n’a rien à craindre de nos colères. Vous les avez prévues aussi.
Le mot « manque » est un mensonge
Une justice qui met six ans à juger un viol n’est pas en panne. Elle trie. Le tri est ce qu’elle produit, et le tri a des bénéficiaires.
Une école à qui il manque des professeurs, toujours dans les mêmes quartiers, ne rate pas sa mission. Elle en remplit une autre, que personne n’a écrite.
Un hôpital sans lits n’échoue pas à soigner. Il décide qui attend et qui passe.
Vous appelez ça un manque. Le mot sert à ne nommer ni les gagnants ni les perdants. Mais il y en a. Ceux qui attendent six ans d’être jugés paient pour d’autres lignes budgétaires, choisies par des gens identifiables, à des dates connues.
Ce n’est pas une défaillance. C’est une décision de répartition. Dites-le, ou nous le dirons à votre place.
Vous avez déjà rendu vos réponses inutiles
On vous a demandé de répondre. Trois fois.
Le Pays de Galles vous a montré la voie en 2015 : un organisme public qui n’écoute pas doit s’en expliquer. Dix ans après, l’auditeur gallois conclut à un manque de mordant, et la loi ne touche toujours ni aux effectifs ni au budget.
Le Conseil d’État vous a demandé, avec Grande-Synthe, de justifier votre trajectoire climatique. Vous avez répondu. Il a trouvé ça suffisant. Il a refermé le dossier en 2025. Vos émissions baissent cinq fois moins vite que votre propre trajectoire. Frais de procédure : 6 000 euros.
Et vous avez écrit dans la Constitution, en 2008, la sanction maximale : pas d’étude d’impact sérieuse, pas de loi. Elle a servi trois fois. Trois fois, vous avez saisi le Conseil constitutionnel le jour même. Trois fois, il vous a donné raison. Il compte neuf membres. Vous en nommez trois. Vos deux présidents de chambre nomment les six autres.
L’arbitre est désigné par ceux qu’il arbitre. Vous ne l’avez pas subi. Vous l’avez construit ainsi.
Ce qui a manqué n’est ni le juge, ni l’obligation, ni la sanction. C’est que personne n’a jamais eu à juger si votre réponse en était une. Tant que produire le document suffit, vous cochez la case.
Vous savez écrire un chiffre
Ne dites pas que c’est impossible. Vous l’avez fait.
Une banque a un ratio de fonds propres. Il est écrit. Il est le même pour tout le monde. Quand elle passe dessous, les conséquences tombent sans que personne ait à les vouloir : dividendes plafonnés, rachats d’actions plafonnés, bonus plafonnés, soixante pour cent, quarante, vingt, zéro. Personne ne demande à la banque si elle s’est bien expliquée. Le chiffre est franchi ou il ne l’est pas.
Vous avez su écrire ça. Pour des bilans.
Vous n’avez pas su l’écrire pour un tribunal, une caserne ou un service d’urgences. Ce n’est pas une différence de technique. C’est une différence de qui vous vouliez protéger.
Alors écrivez-le.
Aucun magistrat ne peut se voir affecter plus de tant de dossiers. Aucun territoire ne descend sous tant de lits pour tant d’habitants. Aucun massif classé à risque n’entre en période rouge sans tant de moyens positionnés. Une phrase. Pas de rapport. Pas de cabinet. Un greffier n’a pas besoin de modéliser 2050 pour compter quatre cents dossiers sur son bureau.
Vous direz que c’est rigide. Que ça ligote le gestionnaire. C’est vrai. C’est exactement ce que dit une banque de son ratio, et vous ne l’avez jamais écoutée.
Ce qu’on vous retire
Nous ne vous demandons pas de prédire l’avenir. Nous vous demandons d’accepter que vous ne le connaissez pas, et de signer.
Aujourd’hui, la phrase disponible après la catastrophe est : « nous n’avions malheureusement pas les moyens ». Elle n’a ni auteur, ni date, ni montant.
Demain : « nous savions que cette décision créerait cette vulnérabilité, et nous avons mis l’argent ailleurs ». Signée. Datée. Chiffrée.
Vous garderez le droit de ne pas suivre. Vous perdrez le droit de vous taire.
Ce n’est pas neutre, et je ne vais pas prétendre le contraire. Ça vous retire quelque chose de précis : le silence, qui est un pouvoir réel et confortable. C’est pour ça que vous le combattrez, tous, quelle que soit votre couleur. Et je n’ai pas de réponse à la seule question qui compte : qui voterait un texte pareil, puisqu’il ne peut être voté que par ceux à qui il retire quelque chose ? Ce texte décrit une contrainte. Il ne dit pas comment on vous l’impose. Ça, c’est notre affaire, pas la vôtre.
Un titre exécutoire
Vous savez parfaitement engager l’avenir.
Un emprunt à trente ans survit à vos majorités. Un contrat signé aujourd’hui est exigible en 2056. Une concession, un bail, un brevet, une retraite : vous avez construit des machines à faire tenir une promesse bien après votre départ. Il y a un juge au bout, et un huissier après le juge.
Vous n’avez donc jamais perdu la capacité de vous engager à long terme. Vous avez choisi lesquels de vos engagements seraient exécutoires. Une créance a toute une machine pour se faire payer. Une vulnérabilité annoncée pour 2040 n’en a aucune.
Les enfants de la rentrée 2031 existent dans vos statistiques. Ils existent dans vos projections. Ils n’existent nulle part comme créanciers. Personne ne peut, en leur nom, vous faire payer votre silence.
Une banque a un nombre. Une école n’en a pas. Un tribunal non plus. Une caserne non plus.
Ce n’est pas parce que ce serait plus difficile à écrire.
C’est parce que vous ne l’avez pas voulu.
Voilà ce qui manque. Pas les modèles. Pas les données. Pas un nouveau commissariat.
Un titre exécutoire. Contre vous.

#565: Tachyon, Python 3.15's Built-in Sampling Profiler
Do you know what's actually slow in your Python app? Or are you guessing? Until now, profiling Python meant a tracing profiler that made your code 2 to 3 times slower. Or a third-party tool that broke with every new release. Python 3.15 fixes that. It ships Tachyon, a sampling profiler built into the standard library. It attaches to live production apps with almost zero overhead. My guests are Pablo Galindo Salgado, CPython core developer and Steering Council member, and László Kiss Kollár from Bloomberg's Python infrastructure team. Their first prototype ran at two samples a second. Now it does over a million hz. And it lands in Python 3.15 this October.

Let me say this: Fuck Google
I keep thinking of cheesy ways I could switch over to https for new posts on Scripting News, esp now that Google is getting more militant in trying to sweep all the history of the web into the trash.
I know people think it would be a snap to do the conversion, honestly, sorry -- they are idiots. They don't understand that it's a viral format. If you claim to be "secure" then everything you include must also be https, and of course everything they include must be as well. So even if I would have to do nothing other than this conversion over a full year, what's to say Google doesn't invent another hoop we have to jump through lest their browser defames us and eventually shuts us down. It's like the web would become just like the Apple Store. Even if there's nothing on the site that requires https. Or if it's a historic site that very few people visit, but the archive is there because we believed the web would be a constant because [no one owned it](platform without a platform vendor site:scripting.com), no one could break it.
I've been on these trips with corporate platforms, and if they want you gone, you should just take the hint and go, because eventually you will get the point. This is a company that has nothing put spite for the web, or perhaps envy, or individual developers (ie indieweb). They are pure fuckers when it comes to people like you and me.
On the other hand you will probably be able to get https versions of my new writing at some point, Murphy willing. That's relatively easy. But I don't have that many years left, and I sure as hell don't want to spend any part of that trying to appease Google.
PS: This is the walkthrough of the answer to the question of who owns the web and how it is not Google.

Feed titles for readers
When designing your RSS feeds, the top level title should be the title of the user's account. So if Bluesky had a feed for each user, the channel-level element of the feed would be
<title>Bluesky: Mark Cuban</title>
Why? Well because readers need context. And it's easy.
And feeds are showing up in places where there isn't much room for the titles, so you have to make your characters count.
Bluesky shows the user's address, imho it should be the string the user chooses, usually simply their name.
The arrow points to Mark Cuban's feed from Bluesky.

The problem with regulating AI is that no one knows where to begin. Yes it can do things that make you question your sanity for letting it have write access to your online work and private info. But if it is behaving itself you can do things you otherwise couldn't come close to. I speak from experience. I was able to create a new version of a large piece of software, from scratch, in less than three months, by myself. It has capabilities that make it able to understand a big codebase, in a few minutes, and then act on it. My human mind, even when I was younger could only focus on a small fraction of that. So we humans with our limited ability to comprehend devised ways to build tall and wide structures with conventions and carefully crafting the code interfaces, stuff users never see, so that what we'd expect is what is. When my Claude failed and started randomly overwriting files on active websites, it had rules that said it couldn't do what it was doing. Sometimes it doesn't understand what a rule means. Observable every single day, it forgets all the rules every time it starts a session, and it doesn't matter if it read the doc that contains the rules, sometimes it ignores one or more. I've spent a lot of time using it, and I have no stock or other interest in seeing it not regulated, but I couldn't begin to say what would be appropriate regulation that wouldn't also make it much less useful. -

Map of the Lighthouses of the World
From mapped.earth, a map of every lighthouse on the planet, along with other charted lights like lighted buoys and such. The screenshots above are static but the lights on the real map move: each lighthouse sweeps out its actual arc and the reach of the beams is true to scale. I recorded a short video of how it looks on the site:
Each lighthouse has a unique light characteristic so that ships can tell them apart:
In any of these designs an observer, rather than seeing a continuous weak light, sees a brighter light during short time intervals. These instants of bright light are arranged to create a light characteristic or pattern specific to a lighthouse. For example, the Scheveningen Lighthouse flashes are alternately 2.5 and 7.5 seconds. Some lights have sectors of a particular color (usually formed by colored panes in the lantern) to distinguish safe water areas from dangerous shoals. Modern lighthouses often have unique reflectors or racon transponders so the radar signature of the light is also unique.
See also A Blinking Map of the World’s Lighthouses. And mapped.earth has more cool visualizations of the Earth (rainfall, wind, lightning, pollution, etc.)

I Don’t Remember the Last Time I Checked Mastodon
My relationship with Mastodon has been somewhat tumultuous over the years, until I eventually stepped down from Fosstodon around 18 months ago. I have to say, it was the right decision. I don't miss running Fosstodon one bit.
But since then, I've found myself less and less engaged in the Fediverse. Mainly because there's so much outrage over there. It's so tiring.
The majority of my timeline is fun, but the outraged minority have ruined for me. To the point where I don't want to be there, and I'm much happier having not checked the timeline for the last month or so.
I'm not off the Fedi, however. What I've done is build features into this site that allow me to automatically cross-post to the Fedi. I even have a custom page that only I can access, which allows me to create a note as simply as posting to Mastodon:
As well as this, I've implemented Webmentions in Pure Comments as of earlier this month. So I can reply to any comments from afar too.
It's nice. I can see still engage with people on the Fedi, all while not having to put up with the checking the timelines.
What Now?
I have around 12,000 followers on my Mastodon account. Because Mastodon really doesn't scale well, those 12k followers take a fair amount of Fosstodon's resources. Which I don't think is fair if I'm not really using the service (I do donate every month).
So I'm thinking about spinning up a single user GoToSocial instance that I can live on. That way I'm not using any of Fosstodon's resources and I can do my own thing, on my own server.
I own
thefedi.ukandthefediverse.ukso something like@kev@thefedi.ukwould be quite cool, I think. I could even provide accounts to friends in the future then too. On the other hand, I'm not sure I want the headache of managing a federated server again.Maybe I should stop overthinking it and just stay on Fosstodon. What would you do in my position?

Sean Miller: From Jehovah’s Witness to Apostate Artist (Part 2)
In Part 2 of our conversation with Sean Miller, we get into the messy business of figuring out what to keep—and what to leave behind—after spending 36 years as a Jehovah’s Witness. Sean talks about the anger, grief, and identity crisis that came with leaving, and how learning to incorporate the good parts of his past without excusing the harmful ones helped him move forward. We dig into the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ handling of sexual abuse allegations, shifting positions on medical care and mental health, and the mindfuck of discovering that the people and institution demanding impossible standards from you don’t always hold themselves to those same standards.
We also talk about how Sean found a way to rebuild through art. He shares the inspiration behind his book Novice Enthusiasm, his comic project Kinsugi, and his goal of creating a roadmap for anyone trying to reconnect with their creativity after religious trauma. Plus, we get into the surprisingly culty potential of AI and one very committed—and ridiculous—Jehovah’s Witness parking-lot grift involving the magic number 1914. Because apparently deconstruction can be healing and useful at the beach.
Be sure to pick up Sean’s book, Novice Enthusiasm: Belief, Rebuilt. Built One Line at a Time, visit his website, SeanGregoryMiller.com, and follow him on Instagram @seangregorymiller.
Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of religious trauma, domestic and sexual abuse and institutional cover-ups, mental health, coercive control, grief, and estrangement from family.
