I am very pleasantly surprised that the new $dayjob offered me the choice of a Mac or Linux laptop.
Even with the hardware specs and distro unknown to me at this point I don't even care because I'm glad it's not Mac or Windows.

@mhoye Random 2 people from completely non-technical backgrounds. I would love to hear ideas from folks who have no idea how it is built.
The “small web” is bigger than you might think
RE: @nuclearplayer@fosstodon.org
Probably worth just uninstalling the `gh` CLI and just use native `git` before they rug pull you with shit in the `gh` tool.
Taking suggestions on a name for an ActivityPub-based fitness tracking app like Strava, but for any kind of exercising since it will use https://fitlanguage.org to compose programs and track sessions.
I like non-fedi/AP names like Mastadon and Loops, but as you know naming things are hard.
I've been messing around with pixelating some vector art I have and making them coloring sheets number legends. Super fun to make and to color. I already made some for my kids too. I might try to get a whole book made and even poster sizes for the wall.
I made a CLI to do all this for any size.
Monday
- GitHub is down again
- Canonical still showing signs of issues when folks try to update for Copy Fail
- DigitCert breach
It's not even noon and I want the day to me over.

@lopta I shifted over to vanilla Debian + XCFE for a very boring and lightweight desktop environment.
Replying to
@cmccullough@polymaths.social Yeah, I am very glad I switched over to vanilla Debian last year as my daily driver and server instance.
What do folks use for simulating breadboard wiring that has a big library of components? (Arduinos, sensors, resistors, etc.)
Is there even such a thing?
Replying to
@Gina@fosstodon.org @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu This is awesome. I wish the US took this approach and that I could be apart of something like this.

@ruben Hillel always talks about formal methods and verification so that might be a good jumping off point.

Ordered myself a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) with an official write/red Raspberry Pi Monitor and a VESA mount/case to eventually install MagicMirror on it for a household display with full control over all services and network access.
Honestly, I'm glad all these developers are fucking around and finding out about all these agent vulnerability and security problems and getting completely pwned. Maybe enough will get screwed over to finally stand out against all of this shit.
If history has taught us anything is that preventative actions and warnings don't get listened to and it's only until folks get attacked like this will they react.
I'll enjoy this all from the sidelines with "I told you so" signs with my popcorn.

Any of those numbers the statement still holds true.
TIL you can host multiple sites on https://srht.site and I only just saw the paragraph:
"You can publish any number of websites to any number of domains on SourceHut pages. If you already published on your “username.srht.site” domain, you must publish again to any additional domains you want to use."
I got Program writing and previewing working.

Trying out Ko-fi for listing digital downloads of the pixel art since I already had this all configured in the past so we'll see how things go. I will be adding more coloring pages over time.
Replying to
@hexaheximal@mstdn.social Yeah, it really can be a great one size fits all language for a lot of use cases and it can be stretched pretty far before really needing to complicate more of the tech stack.
"Agentology is a set of beliefs and practices created by the Silicon Valley. SV initially presented their ideas in 2022 as a form of machine learning called LLMs. They later expanded and reframed those ideas as a cult, which they named Agentology."

@hexaheximal @joew Lines of code alone don't feel creative much like each stroke of the brush on a canvas doesn't, but over time, layer by layer, line by line the end result is more creative than the sum of its parts. I even consider mechanically built things works of art. Cars, motorcycles, the list goes on.
I got a basic management API built for #Henhouse to be able to programmatically manage profiles, teams, and gather site disk usage information so an external billing system can be built to use this information.

So did systemd just make the LLM policy decision for Debian?

@zekjur I don't understand why appliances need the time anyway. We have normal clocks for that. I get they just add the time since it has a timer on it, but I could do without time/clocks on my stove/microwave/coffee pot/etc.

@mWare@ottawa.place I used https://grabaperch.com ages ago and maybe it's still good. https://statamic.com might be a bit bloatier, but its all flat/markdown file based.
I've always wondered how formal/complicated NLNet proposal are.

@daedalus Possibly because all they ever studied was computer science and no humanities?
