i vaguely remember a tool for managing mastodon lists -- does someone know it? 😅
おやすみ
ねむ…
does anyone know if there's a way to search a man page for a specific flag? whenever I search for “ -C" I always end up finding a bunch of other mentions of the flag instead of the flag's documentation itself
the only thing I know is to add a bunch of spaces before the -C
@b0rkJulia Evans When using neovim as the manpager, it has a table of content with `gO` and there you can easily search using `/-C`
Ref: https://neovim.io/doc/user/filetype.html#ft-man-plugin
Shell setup: `export MANPAGER='nvim +Man!'`
This is a test. Can you boost/react/reply to this post please?
will probably delete this if I get an answer, but: if you configure your history size in bash to store more history, do you use HISTSIZE? HISTFILESIZE? both?
本以為長達一小時的長鏡頭會很沉悶，但想想如果很沉悶的話《 #混沌少年時 》的收視也不會那麼好了，就打開來看。EP1 從開頭就很緊湊，長鏡頭提供了「真實時間」，比如坐車移動了多久，觀眾就一起跟著鏡頭經歷了多久（難怪要設定警局離家不遠）。
雖然是長鏡頭，鏡頭跟隨人物切換了空間又在同個空間中有不同人物走過來說話、交錯，又自然地切換了鏡頭主角；藉由鏡頭主角頻繁的切換，展示事件隨時間自然地推進，真是嫻熟的手法。
猶記2000年左右我在大學上電影欣賞課，老師說到過去長鏡頭囿於膠卷長度的物理限制，難以拍出一鏡到底的電影，但是希區考克突破了這個限制；如今所有攝影都數位化，長鏡頭能有多長再也不是問題了（或者改為記憶卡容量的限制？），問題仍是：如何在長鏡頭中持續抓住觀眾的注意力？
以純粹的技藝來說，完全理解這部片的拍攝手法為何如此引人注目。
Setting up some keyoxide claims.
I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.
I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.
I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.
I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.
(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

@stefano@bsd.cafeStefano Marinelli Since the latest update to git my site no longer deploys using the script that worked before that last commit ??? It builds in the correct location but just does not run the deploy script even though it's set to trueにゃーん

I've just committed and pushed some new #BSSG features and fixes:
- Re-implement `--config <path>` command-line flag for `bssg.sh`. This allows specifying a custom configuration file (e.g., a site's `config.sh.local`) to override default settings and the standard `config.sh.local` in the BSSG core directory. Useful for managing multiple sites or running commands from the core directory against a specific site context.
- Add support for `BSSG_LCONF` environment variable. If set to a valid configuration file path, it will be used when `--config` is not specified, providing an alternative way to set the site context for a session.
- Add `CACHE_DIR` configuration variable (`config.sh`, default `.bssg_cache`). Allows specifying a custom location for the build cache.
- New configuration option `ARCHIVES_LIST_ALL_POSTS` (in `config.sh`, default `false`). If set to `true`, the main `archives/index.html` page will list all posts chronologically under their respective month links, in addition to the standard year/month navigation.
- The `init` script now adds a `CACHE_DIR` setting to the new site's `config.sh.local`, pointing to `.bssg_cache` within the site's directory (e.g., `/path/to/site/.bssg_cache`). This ensures separate caches for initialized sites.
- Change default answer to 'Yes' (Y) in the `init` script when asking whether to modify the core `config.sh.local` to automatically source the new site's configuration.

Zit ik in een verder volledig leeg treinstel. Stapt er een man in. Gaat op de stoel recht achter me zitten.
Gasten, alsjeblieft, laat me met rust. Waarom is dit nodig?
My direct print sales from tiltedwindmillpress.com use a fulfillment printer, Bookvault. I have no choice on printer, BV is the only realistic choice, nobody else will work.
My store provides invoices for order.
BV will not include commercial invoices in shipments to the EU. Period. Will not do it. This causes customs problems.
I do not sell enough in the EU to qualify for IOSS. Direct print sales were how I hoped to bootstrap myself to that level.
This gives me a choice.
1) Tell buyers to provide the invoice to their customs agency, and put great big warnings in my store about the inconvenience of doing so.
2) Disable print sales to the EU.
EU folks: is #1 reasonable? Or is it just unworkable? I don't live there, have zero clue.
The end goal is, of course, to get IOSS and charge VAT up front in my store. I truly do want to be easy and legal!

👋Hey everybody! I'm new on sonomu.club and i want to do a little #introduction of myself:
I'm Philipp von Neumann, a composer-performer of #computermusic 💻🔊. I'm very much interested in #soundsynthesis, algorithmic structures and experimental approaches to form.
I'm here to find a community of like-minded people that share similar values🚩🏴☠️ and interests.
I'm also a curator of concerts for #experimental #electronicmusic and i'm always searching for new music.

While we can't all be @andreynering, we can create high quality PRs. 💝 Here's what we love about his PR style...
1) He links related issues and discussions, providing clear context when needed.
2) He provides a reason for the change that gives enough information on the root cause to act as a good point of reference in the future.
3) He includes a high-quality image that can be reused.
To create the image, he uses `freeze -c full` giving margins, shadows, and more.

@grimalkinaCat Hicks I'm thinking about the paper "Notional Machines in Computing Education: The Education of Attention”
(which as far as I understand it is about how to design simplified models which highlight a specific aspect of a computer system)
Remember the "You wouldn't steal a car" PSA? Turns out they pirated both the font AND the music. Exhibits:
font info: https://fontsinuse.com/uses/67480/piracy-it-s-a-crime-psa
pirated font embedded in this PDF: https://web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf
and about the music: https://www.theransomnote.com/music/news/antipiracy-advert-music-was-stolen/
EDIT: more context re the composer, music, and royalties; the story is ofc more nuanced and apparently debunked: https://torrentfreak.com/sorry-the-you-wouldnt-steal-a-car-anti-piracy-ad-wasnt-pirated-170625/

looking at some malware that has a string encryption routine and a string decryption routine
it encrypts a string and immediately decrypts it
the original string is there in the binary
(all these pairs of functions implement the same silly XOR algorithm in slightly different code. yes, i've lifted them to LLVM IR to check if they really do that. yes, they do)
#TIL about a window manager called #Herbstluftwm. (thanks, j!)
Herbstluftwm. it's german for "find your meta key", i believe.
something funny about about the terminal is how there are ALWAYS exceptions
like yesterday I said that the OS is in charge of sending signals when you press `Ctrl+C`, which is mostly true
BUT someone pointed out that if you use kitty, kitty has its own special mechanism for sending signals when you use a keyboard shortcut where it tries to guess the right PID to signal (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/cb490da9487089a09eb10a4edb1129e1bca08d52/kitty/child.py#L465-L481)
it always feels hard to explain why I still feel comfortable in such a chaotic environment
Today we released R-I-B-BI, which in addition to the two nuclear font families (4 + 4 styles), includes functionality to produce an infinite amount of new styles.
