📊 ACADEMIC SURVEY

Large Language Model Benchmarks

First systematic review of 283 LLM benchmarks (general, domain-specific, target-specific). Highlights data contamination, cultural bias, and lack of dynamic evaluation. Calls for “process credibility” and ongoing pressure campaign detection.

⚖️ FIRST AMENDMENT

ICEBlock v. US Government

Complaint: Joshua Aaron sued AG Bondi, DHS, ICE after Apple removed ICEBlock (crowdsourced ICE agent sightings). Alleged coercion, viewpoint discrimination, retaliation.
Motion to dismiss: Gov argues Apple acted independently, no “ongoing coercion”, plaintiffs lack standing. Key test of Murthy & Vullo.

🔐 NETWORK TUNNEL

WireGuard Protocol

Kernel-based VPN (layer 3) with 4k lines of code – replaces IPsec/OpenVPN. Cryptokey routing, NoiseIK handshake, roaming, ChaCha20Poly1305, DoS cookies. “Silence is a virtue” – no response to unauthenticated packets.

🤖 SELF-HOSTED LLM

Securing Ollama with Nginx

Adds authentication to local Ollama (LLM server) via Nginx reverse proxy. Two methods: HTTP Basic Auth (.htpasswd) or Bearer token (API key). Uses Docker Compose; recommends HTTPS to protect credentials.

☁️ CLOUD COMPARE

Hetzner vs Vast.ai

Hetzner: low-cost VPS, dedicated CPU, block storage, 1TB egress allowance. Vast.ai: GPU marketplace (10k+ GPUs), pay-per-second, spot/reserved instances, SOC2 certified. $0.02/hr starting vs $0.34/hr.

🧼 HISTORICAL CRAFT

Soap-Making Manual (1922)

Classic industrial guide: tallow, cocoanut oil, palm oil, cold process / full boiled. Glycerine recovery, Twitchell process, analytical methods (titer, free fatty acids). 283 pages of lye, fat, and fragrance.

📖 DYSTOPIA

1984 — George Orwell

Winston Smith vs. Big Brother, telescreens, Thought Police, Newspeak, doublethink, Room 101. “WAR IS PEACE / FREEDOM IS SLAVERY / IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”. The Party’s ultimate weapon: rewriting the past.

🌐 WEB BROWSER MENAGERIE

100+ browsers + engines

From Arc, Brave, Chrome, Firefox, to niche: BadWolf, Agregore, Pissandshittium, Nyxt, Otter, Pale Moon, Ladybird. Lists underlying engines (Blink, Gecko, WebKit, Goanna, Electron). A chaotic atlas of the web.

🧠 AI SOULS

Chatbot personalities: teacher, therapist, machine

User Hannah notes: Claude = teacher, ChatGPT = therapist, Gemini/Copilot = “friends who ate Wikipedia”, DeepSeek/Qwen = neutral & machine-like. Explanation: RLHF guidelines, cultural context (Chinese models emphasize factual restraint), brand positioning. Grok = intentionally “insane”.

💰 BUSINESS PLAN

Yarn store budget

Tuta email ($5/mo, custom domains, green energy). Self-hosted + Shopify Buy ($9/mo). Meta ads (hyper-targeted). Free socials: Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, Mastodon (bridged via fed.brid.gy). Community-first yarn strategy.

🎵 GAMER RAP

Dan Bull & The Stupendium

33 tracks: “Sacrifices Must Be Made”, “The Fine Print”, “Wool Over Our Eyes”, “DOOM DOOM DOOM”, “Vault Number 76”. Minecraft, Fallout, Satisfactory – nerdcore anthems for the working class.

🫁 SCIENCE SNIPPET

How Do We Breathe?

Air enters nose → tiny hairs filter dust → trachea → bronchi → lungs. Mucus traps bacteria. Oxygen passes into blood. Respiratory & circulatory systems work together. Used ~20,000 times/day.

🍎 DIGESTION

From apple to energy

Chewing → tongue pushes down esophagus → stomach acid & enzymes break food into water‑soluble particles (4h avg, steak up to 18h). Small intestine absorbs nutrients; liver sends enzymes; large intestine processes waste.

💪 MUSCLES

Skeletal, smooth & cardiac

600 muscles → 40% body weight. Skeletal (voluntary, bundles), smooth (sheets, involuntary), cardiac (heart). Tendons attach muscle to bone. It takes 43 muscles to frown, only 17 to smile. Smallest muscle = ear; largest = gluteus maximus.

📝 CHILDHOOD VERSE

Poems & alliterations

“Potato’s” – they are yuck.
“Discus Fish” – cool colours, live at my house.
“Macca’s” – love it, good for health (irony).
“Autumn Leaves” – pretty, many colours.
Alliterations: “Intelligent Isaac has incredible iPads”, “Amazing aliens attack alligators”.

⚙️ UTILITY

batch_process.py

Python script that scans Markdown files, extracts URL from frontmatter (link: or source:), parses domain, then moves each file into a folder named after the domain. Used to organize web clippings by source (e.g., github.com/, wikipedia.org/).

📜 LEGAL UPDATE

ICEBlock amended complaint & reply

Plaintiffs added detail: Apple removed app same day Bondi “demanded”, AG said “hope they continue to comply”. Defendants’ reply: no ongoing pressure, subjective chill insufficient, Apple acted on safety information. Key precedent: Murthy & Media Matters.
