TL;DR: Every SSH Key on Tumblr.
IF MY DEMANDS ARE NOT MET I WILL GENERATE AND PUBLISH AN SSH KEY EVERY 3 HOURS, SLOWLY REDUCING THE ENTROPY OF THE AVAILABLE SSH KEYSPACE AND REVEALING EVERYONE'S PRIVATE KEYS.

Well! A bit changed since last post. Most prominently: yesterday I received a missive from AWS, a preset alert that I was going over my established high water mark for expected bill this month (not even halfway through!). It looks like running API Gateway for websockets is spenno.

Years back I set up the [Holiday by Moore’s Cloud] lights with a script that would automatically hook into the streaming of Wikipedia edit notifications and change in time to them, and the music if the web app was open concurrently.
Preamble A long time ago I built a Twitter bot which allowed you to play a text adventure game by tweeting commands at it and receiving personalised responses. I’ve always been interested in doing more with this project, but there’s been two major holdups:
I’ve lacked personal writing inspiration (and found no interested writers) to help with content for the game. The original code is an absolute mess. Eventually during a skint section of my life I had to get rid of the virtual machine that runs the bot and it’s remained dormant and inactive for years.
