Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 27 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 97% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

19 posts held, back to 10 March 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 28 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
29 reactions across 12 posts, in 8 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 58.6% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 12 of the 19 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 29 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 19 most recent posts we hold, published 10 March 2025 to 28 July 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
SELinux is fun. I'm slowly working on getting my strict policy on Fedora. This is the first time I enforced the policy and I decided to try running system updates to see what happens and it failed horribly lmao. To be expected, the policy still needs debugged and I probably should pull updates from the upstream MLS policy from Fedora. This is my first step toward high-assurance systems. Once I get SELinux's Types/…
I decided to embark on writing my own encryption cipher (one of the cardinal computing sins: never write your own encryption). It seems that the math behind encryption is actually insanely simple. Most of the math for encrypting/decrypting is just bitwise math (which computers do really easily). The hardest part is making sure the constants selected are provably secure. AES uses S-boxes ("Substitution boxes") which …

So I've encountered some problems with my research. I've been a bit side-tracked on this project and started writing another project for work (which was actually derived from this project which I have now codenamed "Lorica"): I don't have friends, coworkers, family, people, etc. whom I can discuss these concepts with anymore. The people around me who even conceptually grasp the concepts I discuss with them aren't in…

So over the holiday weekend (Happy 4th btw) I have been working on doing high-assurance computing. I've been slowly migrating my homelab onto something that is closer to what the Department of Defense would run for their infrastructure for classified systems. They publish their standards and a lot of documentation for how they build these systems but it's all very technical and tedious to read. I have so far decided…

Performed my first ever fusion splice!

When I bought my phone, I bought it with the intent to run GrapheneOS. One of my friends and I had the exact same phone and he also ran GrapheneOS, so I just used his rom because he did all the work for me of building the rom. The reason why we built the rom instead of using the version provided by Graphene themselves was because our phones are rooted. GrapheneOS is strongly against rooting as it compromises the sec…

In the last few hours I have learned more about fiber optics than I have in all of 2025. I realized that the fiber run I made in 2025 had a problem that I was unaware of. I setup a bi-directional (bidi) 9 micron corning glass fiber run between my garage and my bedroom (yes, it's overkill, I know, this is just for practice so I can learn) and I was unaware that the SFP+ modules work in pairs. You need one end that use…

Ugh. So today I tried to upgrade AlmaLinux on my homelab's xcp-ng cluster and I learned that all my hosts are so far out of date that their CPUs don't have AVX2 which is a hard requirement for AlmaLinux 10 and also for ScyllaDB (which I use for some of my stuff) making it impossible to upgrade. Gemini said I get about 6 more years out of the servers staying on AlmaLinux 9 but I have really wanted to upgrade to the ne…

For nearly my entire life I have lived with someone. Whether it was my parents, grandparents, or roommates there was always some kind of activity in the house other than my own. For the first time in my life, I am actually living alone and I can say it is both the most freeing and depressing situation I have been in. My roommate bought a house and I now make enough to afford to pay the rent on the house I am in now —…

so I finally got around to improving the safety of my system (on the AC-side at least). I have been running my system entirely un-fused/un-breakered for almost 2 years now. Nothing of note has happened in that time span but I'd rather not wake up to the smell of burning wires. The inverter is rated at delivering around 30A of power at 120v but all of my equipment is designed to run on 15A circuits. Putting 15A equip…

Gmail is fresh on my shit-list for garbage user experience, ranking up there with Spotify.
Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @DayNightShadow. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 29 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
