It's bad civic hygiene to build technologies that could someday be used to facilitate a police state. - Bruce Schneier
The paper describe child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on the Fediverse. It relates CSAM exists across essentially every sufficiently large online communications environment. Rather, the researchers argue that federation creates a distinctive set of technical, organizational, and legal problems for detecting, reporting, and removing CSAM: removing content (or stopping content propagation), different rules are used accross the Fediverse,
The existing child-safety technologies designed for centralized platforms do not map cleanly onto federated networks. The researchers conducted an investigation 325 000 posts during two post days.
Human moderators are important for the Fediverse but it's also a burden placed on volunteer administrators. CSAM detection is not enough and account enforcement is also difficult because one user can create another account on another instance.
The report promotes:
- easier access to CSAM hash-matching technologies;
- standardized reporting procedures;
- better tools for volunteer moderators;
- training and support for administrators;
- mechanisms for sharing threat information;
- stronger cross-instance blocking;
- better detection of abusive accounts and repeat offenders; and
- improved coordination with organizations and authorities responsible for child protection.
In this post, I’ll walk through a set of common misconceptions that drive teams to introduce new infrastructure when they don’t need to. All of these can be solved with vanilla PostgreSQL 18 using standard extensions available on RDS, with no special infrastructure and no distributed-systems cosplay.
The database can be used for many things people often miss:
- user roles (finance) for modularity. In particular, a proper role can be used for defining very precise interfaces on top of database objects
- domains can be defined as an application of the abtract data type to database management
- a table for transfers can be stored with a system-time temporal table
- account audits (store old versions for logs)
- transaction state machine with functions
- record size estimation
- Heap-Only Tuple to avoid write amplification when primary keys are aligned with immutable columns. It enables faster updates. See https://ebellani.github.io/blog/2026/all-you-need-is-postgresql/#introduction:~:text=Enabling%20HOT%20Updates%20for%20Transfers,-By
- excellent OLTP (quick read and write individual rows) with a primary key reflecting the access pattern
- view to reuse queries from multiple tables
- excellent OLAP: large volumes of data while allowing quick query response times: a
finance.balance_ledgertable stores a snapshot of both balances after every transaction. - incremental maintenance via triggers
- correct isolation with
alter role finance set default_transaction_isolation = 'serializable';. If a cyclic transaction is detected, then one of the transaction fails. The application must be prepared to retry aborted transactions, but the invariants are never violated.
The official CSV file contains comment in parentheses. Why not using a dedicated field per row for it?
If the line is longer, then the text is split to multiple line. The postcode, names are repeated.
issues. There are catch-all postal codes for many areas, where the neighborhood is given as "except the following", and the only thing to do is look for that exact string and exclude it.
The separate romaji file is of low quality.
That's why posuto aims to simplify this.
Building websites by hands mean the solutions to errors are within you somewhere. "You’re also rewarded with greater understanding of the problem and solution, knowledge that you’ll carry with you."
An AI agent hides, obscures and obfuscate the result or the method used to reach such result.
The web can florish with little websites everywhere. It's never about the size of the audience for the OG web, but always about the community.

Lol. The second parody of cats.txt made by another person.
It took off and https://catstxt.org/ was born.
On the contrary, llms.txt is often ignored by the crawlers.
The trap is this: getting baited into treating a set of observations as evidence, when the observations would occur whether or not the underlying thing were true. It is the intellectual equivalent of concluding your umbrella causes the rain to stop, because every time you put it away the rain does eventually stop.
It's a convenient example: . The same broken chain of inference is being applied to almost every new GEO tactic invented on a monthly basis
When you ask a model whether llms.txt helps, it is not reasoning. It is not running an experiment, consulting a source or weighing evidence. It is returning the most common thing it has seen written on the subject. The web is thick with confident posts declaring llms.txt the future, so the model converges on that consensus and reflects it back, dressed as a considered opinion. It endorsed my cats for precisely the same reason: by the time anyone asked, enough people had written enthusiastically about cats.txt that the average of the discourse said “yes.”
Quite the opposite of GEO: " That is what the “O” in SEO is meant to stand for. Optimisation is the cumulative advantage of doing the small, verifiable things a little better than your competitors, over and over, until it adds up."
Lol they are the live HTTP requests of catstxt.org
