added the crude carpentry table, block game's first proper crafting station, which will pave the way to many pieces of furniture and building blocks
i also added a sub-text line to the hint window and it now shows how many items will be crafted as well as how many items are required/will be consumed
added flint knife and cordage, which you get from using a knife on flamereeds
this means all the components for the crude carpentry table (rough wood, sticks, cordage) are in place and i can start working on that next

My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.
They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.
They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.
We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.
To be clear as I can be: I'm not looking for advice. I'm not even looking for money. I'm not looking for suggestions on courses of action. I'm not looking for possible vague *lists* of attorneys whom I might call.
We've done all that. I have been ringing this bell and shaking this tree for months.
I love all of you so much for all of your good intentions and well wishes. Those are all appreciated.
Vague, non-specific suggestions are not helpful at this time, however.
The only thing that is helpful at this time is an ACTUAL law office willing to ACTUALLY BE HIRED to take this case up.

Apparently some servers support a GET request that will curl a random bash script from the internet and run it. Useful feature, that. (Adventures in reading my nginx logs)

Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame - Phoronix https://lobste.rs/s/a1tixp #games #linux

Interesting little detail: dynamicCallable annotation requires e.g. an ExpressibleByArrayLiteral function to be added -- note that it's not Array itself. So you can use custom types as long as they are expressible by array literals!
I kinda want to have an in-house email system that isn't really internet-connected. Is this a thing that could make sense? Can Synology's thing be made to work this way?

I was testing how to add a header to my website's home page and put it at the bottom. You don't see this choice often, but I remember seeing this many years ago in a website template I liked a lot. It also gave me a nice idea for the new drawing I was planning to do which includes all 3 of my characters

Strange limitations for a machine that’ll probably ship in 2026. Only 8GB of VRAM, no USB 4, no 2.5GB ethernet, slow WiFi. I know it's a low end machine, but feels like they shouldn't have skimped out on a couple of those. But props for integrated PSU + 120mm fan.

What I'm listening to today: "Atmosphere" (Jerome's Runway Dub), Kerri Chandler
French touch from New Jersey. House music the way it used to sound in 1998. When I dig a little bit I find out Kerri Chandler was a big deal in Jersey electronic music, produced over 100 records, ran a label. I had never heard of him until he came up on a playlist of vintage vinyl rips and I decided to dig a little. The world is an ocean we float atop and it just goes down and down and down
What I'm listening to today: "An Ambient Jam in 31 Tone Equal Temperament", The Creepy Silence
Western music is based on 12 tones, equally-spaced (on a logarithmic scale), which happen to come very close to "good-sounding" pitch ratios. There are some historical attempts at numbers other than 12.
Here, a launchpad rigged for 31-TET is used to perform 15 minutes of messy, engrossing, exploratory astral disembodiment music. Music for a power outage on a spaceship

It's a pretty small diff that allows max-src-conn=0 (currently it has to be >0), meaning that *any* attempt to connect to a port is quick trip to the overload table.
