It's my birthday 🎂

@PurpCat @realman543 @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @j I don't have any alts on other fedi instances except the now defunct freespeechextremist.com and I don't think I'll be making any new ones. After Baest shuts down I'm probably going to migrate entirely to Nostr. I already have a Nostr identity I rarely use so it will be time to start shitposting on it full time. I had been considering the idea of making my own instance but honestly everything I've seen related to the technical aspects of the fediverse makes me think the network was always fucked from the get go and there is no point in dealing with all of those issues myself.

Baest will (not) be shutting down on November 8th.

Why? A few reasons.

1. This is getting expensive and time consuming to run.

2. God has other plans for me and trying to continue running all of this would hold me back.

3. I want to spend less time on the internet.

4. I'm a very different person and in a much different situation from when I started.


One of the main reasons I started running a fedi instance was I had a bunch of free time because I couldn't work.

I've had a great time and met lots of wonderful people.

Honestly, if it weren't for fedi I'm not sure where my life would be but probably somewhere very different and not as good. I know I wouldn't be able to give Cornbread a home.

I want to thank everyone for hanging in here with me all this time. I'm sorry I'm shutting it down. This isn't an easy decision to make and I do feel guilty about it.

Don't worry, I'm not leaving fedi and I really hope this doesn't cause any Baest users to leave fedi. I just have more important things I need to focus my time and money on. I'm at least going to make it through the election, though.

Thank you for letting me be a part of all of this for all of these years. I am extremely thankful.

Edit: it seems revolver will be ready before then so @p will migrate Baest to revolver so nothing will go away. Beast will just become fully decentralized. The West hasn't fallen after all.

Can't stop thinking about the Deckintosh

An SQL injection bug that lets you bypass airport security and even JUMP SEAT. Sure. This is great. I’m not having a heart attack or anything. TSA response is definitely also chef’s-kiss. *breathes into a paper bag* https://ian.sh/tsa

now HERE is a nostalgia BLAST for you at unsafe levels.

I think #SilentPayments are a very meaningful and important privacy improvement for #Bitcoin, and it would be great to see greater adoption in wallets.
