Been to a symphonic orchestra concert today. First time ever I'm on an event like this! Was invited on a very short notice, had to hurry a lot.
Wow this is cool! There were Debussy's nocturnes in 3 parts, and apparently the third part is usually not performed, because chori are hard to come by (but here in Tatarstan we have everything and everyone). Then Rachmaninoff's opus number one. I learned so many new concepts today and even heard new sounds.
A fruit merchant has given me change in two apples and a lemon (peculiarities of using cash).
We have an instance of NextCloud at dayjob. It has a barely working search. I thought, what if it works better on a Chromium browser? For this occasions, I have Vivaldi. I open it, and NextCloud works just as bad.
Vivaldi has updated itself. It now looks like GoLand and the new GitLab. You know, the playful purple gradient on the semi-transparent background UI with monochrome icons in those dockers, contrasting purely by colour with the page content. Seems to be a trend now.
I find myself quite enjoying this kind of design. Also lately I've found I'm ok with Liquid Glass design. What's happening?! Where's my non-conformism?
In university, we were given an assignment to calculate our personal inflation with 20 products we were buying for a year. Turns out:
1. I don't buy that much, and have been buying less lately somehow.
2. All those data-hungry corporations can't even reliably tell you what you bought a year ago, despite actually collecting and probably storing all that data.
And how do I do my assignment? I don't keep receipts...
Acrawl.
The more correct term would be aslither?
Impulsively bought a pack of pencils, happily thinking it's multiple shades of blue. Turned out, it's multiple shades of the regular grey pencil. OK then
Just today I was reading about the virtues of handcarts on Solar Website and how easy it is to carry cargo with them. Soon after me computer monitor broke. I think it's a warranty case, and despite my cold, I'll go to the shop and demand something. I'd prefer money instead of repairing tbh; I would buy a better monitor. Anyway, the shop is within walking distance, but carrying a heavy box with no handles isn't gonna be fun. I wish I had a handcart...

Words I avoid using (but still often fail):
1. Simply
2. Just
They can often be omitted with no loss of meaning but with removal of implicit prescriptive judgement.
“To enable the foobarator, just scrongle the capuccinator” 👉 “To enable the foobarator, scrongle the capuccinator”
“To bolvanize the round square, simply carve the cuneiform inscription” 👉 “To bolvanize the round square, carve the cuneiform inscription”
Note that I'm ok with words easy and simple.

Some alphabets have cool names for every letter. The Glagolitic script did. Its first letters were
Az (me)
Buki (letters)
Vedi (know)
...
For conscripts and conlangs, this is such an underexplored area of expression. Just imagine we're worldbuilding, and we're using this thing to express the values and the lifestyle of a people in their alphabet.
Why don't we do this anymore IRL? Phonetic names like Em and Ess are not fun. The funniest name in Latin alphabet is Y—it's called Greek I in some languages.

Found a couple examples of using the scripts for ornamentation in my garden:

@palomakop I used to have a Gitea instance, that was before Forgejo was a thing. Having it was a hassle to be honest, all this backing up and whatnot.
And then somebody found that server and asked me if it's ok for them to use it. I thought a bit, said no and deleted that instance some time after.
These days I use Codeberg for projects I would expect contributions to, and Sourcehut for more private stuff (most of repos unlisted).
For self-hosting, Forgejo seems to be the most straight-forward choice. Community support, familiar UX, and built-in mirroring. I use mirroring on Codeberg, and it works really well.
Crawlers and scrapers are not that much of a problem if your website is not popular, and it's probably not. That's the case for my server (I don't host a forge anymore, but I do have public services that work with git history, so I can use my setup as a comparison). I have 2 GB of memory, but didn't have problems with 1 GB too. Fail2ban will get you a long way.
We Merveilles also have an instance: https://git.merveilles.town/explore/repos

I try to design a kind of standard notation to use across all my notes hoping to standardize multiple topic-specific notations into just one style.

Between ePub and FB2, I'd always preferred FB2 for no particular reason. But apparently it's a less known format in the West? Do you folks use it?

@grishka ну конечно я не пользуюсь куркодами, я уважаю свой и чужой комфорт. Но в некоторых местах нету терминала, они просят по номеру телефона переводить или наличку давать. Вот в таких случаях теперь наличку осваиваю.

@grishka an LED has turned on and is stuck alight. Other than that, nothing seems broken. I hope it will fix itself somehow, I have lighting off all the time.

@aartaka I'm still not sure how to properly differentiate о and е (same for o and e in Latin script too, of course). During school, I always thought letters were designed by people who didn't have to write then.

@raffomania@mstdn.io I'm not a big fan of static websites like those on forges, but these days I want to host as little as possible myself

@aartaka@merveilles.town password manager? SSH manager (is that a thing?)? Monitor setup (layout, frequency, colour profiles)? Wi-fi and Bluetooth stuff?
I'm so looking forward to whatever you're gonna cook, REPL GUIs are quite unexplored in areas other than LLM agents.

@aartaka@merveilles.town imagine a small square window, with a text input on the bottom. If you enter a URL there, it downloads it, and a job is shown above. Once a job is complete, you can navigate to the file. Jobs can be clicked to view their logs.
Download location can be static (set up beforehand), or it could be dynamic (music videos go here, audio goes here), maybe even scripted in GNU Guile.
And a clever effective way to use various options of yt-dlp in this universal text input. Prefixes? Hotkeys? It should be very discoverable, preferably written in the window somewhere. Accessible both from mouse and keyboard.
And for systems with the concept of sharing, it should be possible to share links to it.
