LLM in Human Rights. Opinions are my own, reposts not an endorsement. Cyclist, da, flatmate to Finrod (friend to man). Cat pics, Phillies, some law, tech and internet policy (day job), the odd Bucky/Klaes gif. Oh! And RPG stuff (mainly Call of Cthulhu).
Pinned
My avatar pic was taken last August. It is me back at one of the most important places in my life, cycling or otherwise.
My thread about the Best Bike Shop I have ever had the good fortune to be in. (Although Edinburgh’s Bike Craft come a close second and have never let me down)

And about 20-25% of the network traffic blocked by the pihole is tracking and ads.

A few years ago, my son installed a pihole on our home network.
This captures and blocks ads on the whole network at the modem level and also prevents tracking and signalling from machines on the network.
By far, by a mile, the most blocks are on our Samsung TV trying to snitch on us back to HQ.

Busy day at work. Came home tired but I perked up when I realised that the latest 611 podcast is a chat with Shane Victorino
Around 2021/2022 when I was getting assessed for ADD, almost by accident, I found out about Shane’s ADHD experiences thanks to @robhanna.bsky.social. So thankful to Rob.

@hwrpodcast.bsky.social I am listening to the latest two headed serpent episode, and I am dismayed to learn this may be the last we see of Greg, running amok in Santos. And Jane is too high to be outraged enough to get him back.
A sad day.

Years ago, before the we all had easy access to the Internet, I was on an overnight train from Munich to Berlin to see Iggy Pop and the Ramones, which seemed to happen every summer back then. So I am chatting to this fella and it gets onto music.
