Big props to Victor for working tiredlessly on the project. github.com/BastilleBSD/bastill

Also, there have been some new videos on Bastille's Youtube channel: youtube.com/@BastilleBSD demonstration upcoming features in Bastille 0.14.

@annaleen@wandering.shopAnnalee Newitz 🍜 This episode really felt like a missing chapter in some other version of The Future of Another Timeline.
My guest today is my friend Samin Nosrat, the author of the bestselling, award-winning cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat, and the host and executive producer of the hit Netflix show that's based on it. Her second cookbook comes out this fall, and it's called Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share With People You Love.

Back in March 2020, Samin and I started a podcast together called Home Cooking, where we answered people's anxious questions about cooking in the time of the pandemic and lockdown. And we're bringing that podcast back later this year.

Samin is one of my closest friends. We've been there for each other for all of the most important moments of our lives over the years that we've known each other. But with a total lack of consideration to our friendship, it turns out Samin’s had important moments in her life from before we met. But we're going to make up for lost time, and she's going to talk to me about one of them today.

I thought setting this in my config.sh.local was the same as the cli command to full build ?

# Build configuration
CLEAN_OUTPUT=true
REBUILD_AFTER_POST=true # Build site automatically after creating a new post (scripts/post.sh)
REBUILD_AFTER_EDIT=true # Build site automatically after editing a post (scripts/edit.sh)
CLI :

./bssg.sh build --force-rebuild --clean-output
If they are the same then the later works but the former gives 404 errors on the archives page.

After unreasonably forcing myself to battle sway window manager, wanting something minimal and space efficient and I'm bloated feetch wise, I impulsively installed fvwm, spent ~ 90 minutes trial and error and managed to configure it for 90% of what I want. And it uses about the same resources as sway.

Sway and wofi etc are virtually undocumented. What a battle to get it to do something dumb like run a script in ~/Bin.

At least and hour spent getting xterm don't size to be readable, default is 8 pt! Lol. Now 14. Screen dependent I guess.

What a relief from creeping featuritis.

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.

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 :meme_w_cat: 執著於此算是個人難以理解的事

Could really use more donations for 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!

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.

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

GrapheneOS development and updates have continued and will keep going. We have substantial funds available to hire more people to work on GrapheneOS. We'll need to hire multiple experienced developers to fill their big shoes. They'll hopefully be safe and when they return we'll have a bigger team.

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: 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.

@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.
