"Don't use evil Chinese open-weight LLMs (Large Language Models) but instead give your money to "AI" companies that are proud of the fact that their models can escape sandboxes and attack you" is the weirdest marketing flex I have seen for a long time. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf

@phlash

It's spam, they are sending them to everyone that they can find an email address for in the hope that some people are fooled by it. They seem to get the email addresses from public websites that people list in their profiles.

@vfrmedia @oli @onepict

Yeah, their method is puzzling. They have only listed one of my accounts and it's the smallest one (fedi.garden).

Possibly they've got a queue to work through or something?

I thought at first it was a server setting protecting me, but that would prevent all my accounts being listed, not just some. Seems random really.

Also puzzling why they are focusing on Mastodon so much, they have fewer listings from Tiktok despite it being a much more influencerish platform.

Apparently left-handed people can't use a fountain pen as the left hand smudges the ink as they write. I call bullshit on that.

@Codeberg For a few seconds I got a working codeberg connection. This leads me to the conclusion that the problem is on the perimeter and not on the core service itself. But that's just educated guesswork. It does give me hope that the service will be restored soon and dataloss will not be a problem. @codebergstatus

@cstross @davidgerard I guess the main reason and USP (Unique Selling Point) for offshore datacenters (and those in space) will be "Run your illegal workloads at a place that is definitely outside of any jurisdiction so no one can seize your machines and data !1!!".

(Please no conspiracy theories about AI bros attacking codeberg etc. Let's all send our best wishes to the good folks at @Codeberg @codebergstatus to get the service up and running again, OK? :)

Doggo was unwell yesterday

Today he is a stinky fart boy and my office smells baaaaaad 🤢

@ellieraejaye love that these look like real CD designs from that age!

@BastilleBSD By complete coincidence, today I am wearing this.

@simondueckert Huh? Ne, ich nutze einfach Swapfiles auf dem Server, weil ich mir nicht mehr RAM greifen kann.

@mykillz "Auslagern von swap auf andere Hoster" ist wild

@dojoe I hear a vinegar trap helps with these

UPDATE 2026-07-31 12:36 CEST: It seems that codeberg is working again!

Not so happy #SysAdminDay for my friends at @Codeberg Not only is codeberg itself down at the moment, the mastodon instance they use for status updates at @codebergstatus is also down :(
