Oooh, that hurts. Back spasm from today's exertions with the solar panel installation.
Strange, because I'm only in my 30s, but my body most definitely isn't any more. I say "Bounce back, it's not that bad." Body says "Now just hang on a moment. Let's think this thing through. Give me some time."

Figured out why my test PDS instances weren't being crawled. Last week, when I set up Knative on that server, I changed the ingress from Traefik to Contour, but with Contour, the default is no websockets. Pretty easy to turn it back on and they are live again.

does anyone know if snac has cache purging or something

I’ve always kept a small screwdriver in my backpack. It often comes in handy—whether it’s to open up a hard drive, replace a remote control battery, or who knows what else. Experience (and a few mistakes) taught me it’s worth investing in a quality tool.

When my father-in-law saw it, he asked if he could borrow it for a few days. I happily agreed, but my wife warned me not to, worried it might get lost.

A few days later, just as she had predicted, my father-in-law asked if I had taken it back, because he couldn’t find it anymore. Gone. Never seen again.

Not long after, I bought a new one—this time, following my wife’s advice, I didn’t mention it to my father-in-law.

This morning, while I was out, I noticed the lens on my sunglasses had come loose and was about to fall off. I immediately pulled out my trusty screwdriver, tightened the lens, and made sure everything was secure.

I smiled to myself and quietly thought of my wife’s wise advice—and how, without a doubt, I should listen to her more often.

長年待在FB的繪圈一直有個疑惑，不少繪手很在意上傳圖畫後被壓縮畫質這件事🤔

對我來說壓縮畫質：一來是伺服器問題（每個人都發動輒幾MB起跳的圖伺服器會炸吧！），二來是我認為「持有原始清晰圖」才是擁有者，三來好看的圖是不會因為畫質變糊而變得不美觀

局部模糊或者色塊帶過一直是藝術作品的表現手法之一，繁瑣的刻畫反而會造成視覺疲勞。且多數觀賞者看圖是以一秒決勝負，作畫成本不符效益 執著於此算是個人難以理解的事

Could really use more donations for https://autonomous.zone, the cozy fediverse space that has been bopping around this network for a number of years. Been using it to onboard more people here recently and the server costs are starting to pile up. Donate now to give a (digital) home to more anarcho freaks leaving centralized fascist platforms!

#Introduction
Hello Cortex Implant,
I'm Kino (she/they), I build music hardware fulltime, I'm the original industrial worker of the music industry and I also play with these sound machines... I compose, I design. I plug and unplug more than 1000 cables per day for weeks. Sometimes...
I live in Helsinki and I was born in Greece. I'm on a journey, I'm on a trip.
I also love spending time in nature and a good cup of tea.

Before I go though and file my own issue for this, does anyone know whats up with @peertube's support for remote edits / updates of comments/replies? It seems like its not implemented and I didn't find any issues filed for this which seemed strange to me. Maybe I am overlooking something? #fedidev

Sometimes I see those jokey posts about how inscrutable naming is in the tech industry and think ha ha that's kind of funny but really these things do make sense in context. And then just now I had the thought "I should use encrust to integrate towncrier into sparkle for pomodouroboros via hatchling" and I'm the problem, it's me

Been learning how to shuttle tat lace

The hardest part of it has honestly been giving myself permission to do it,

and then not getting caught up in how "good" or meritorious the finished pieces are.

Also working thru the worry that my creations have to be useful in some way or else they dont deserve to exist,

which of course touches feelings i have about myself & my usefulness/right to exist...

Anyway plz enjoy this snowflake

@jdw I'm not so sure of that number. I find using Llama for simple research extremely useful. I can ask questions in plain English, without having to formulate weird query strings as for Google searches. I especially like using Llama for asking questions that collate different kinds of information.

A bunch of my public GitHub repo's have been moved to Codeberg. The GitHub sources have been archived. I'm just about done with migrating everything.

Have a look if you want, maybe you'll find something of interest to you: https://codeberg.org/jwdevos

My last remaining public repo at GitHub contains the source data for my Hugo static site. There will be a few bald yaks before that one is done.

By extracting the animations from the files of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, we can see how the Koopalings look when they are hiding inside their shells. While Lemmy, Morton, Wendy and Larry merely pull their head and limbs in, Ludwig, Iggy and Roy deform themselves severely.

Step 1. Put on a black hoodie.
Step 2. Go to the cafe.
Step 3. Take out your laptop.
Step 4. Open a terminal window.
Step 5. Run the htop command and yell from the bottom of your stomach, "I'M IN!"

@tomjennings I'm not a fan of the "stolen work" idea. I don't think it's accurate. The output of that indexing process isn't a verbatim copy of the original corpus of text, but something much more like a search engine index. The generated text often includes facts and ideas from the original works, but that's not covered by copyright or other IP protection. I agree that LLM training bots should respect robots.txt and other signals that the authors don't want their work used for training.

I got these wool dryer balls on a whim because soot sprites are awesome and when I pull my towels out of the dryer I was so grateful to past me for injecting some whimsy into the day.

Yes, that lack of punctuation was intentional.

Mastodon is a revolution in people-powered social networking. But it needs help to push it past its early adopter community. In the spirit of my previous piece about Bluesky, here's what I would do if I ran the project: https://werd.io/2025/if-i-ran-mastodon #fediverse

So the story is, my wife, who’s British, was having a chocolate chip cookie with her tea. She took a bite and didn’t like it, so she gave it to me. As soon as I took a bite, a third of it collapsed into my lap. I didn’t know it had been pre dipped 🫠

If the precedent gets set that the president can remove nonprofit status from anyone he disagrees with, then any Democratic president in the future that allows the ADF and heritage and megachurches to be considered nonprofits is explicitly endorsing them.

First, they came for the right to walk in the street, and grandpa said nothing, for he had a car, a job with the state DOT, and a few blocks of sidewalk on which to walk his dog.

After that, nobody could hear you protest over the noise of car traffic.
