What is Hackers' Pub?

Thanksgiving will always be associated with Mila. We got her right before our very first Thanksgiving when we first got here. Every Thanksgiving that she’s still with us (she was 11 / 12 when we got her; it’s been 7 years), is a surprise.

What I'm listening to today: "Live Ambient vermona perFOURma with Digitone and Blofeld.", Surgeons Girl

Pleasantly meandering ambient, like someone tried to freeze the idea of "distraction" into a song. All little fluttery subtractive analog synth bubbles.

Minimal, but on second listen it's more substantial than it felt at first.

This is nice. I'm currently using my minipc with FreeBSD 15.0-RC4.

The fans are ALWAYS off (or, at least, spinning at such a low speed I can't hear them).

When using Linux, I can clearly hear them, from time to time.

Let's see 🙂

we ordered delivery and the poor worker arrived very stressed and anxious about how she was late and how her Dutchglish skills weren't strong enough to make a good, customer-placating explanation for why she was late. I resolved this by asking if she likes dogs. Odin emergency therapy was successful

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

My vector drawing of the IBM 5150 motherboard is complete!

Thanks to MTM scientific https://www.mtmscientific.com/pc-retro.html for releasing the gerber files for their reproduction motherboard. I wouldn't have had the patience to draw out all the traces myself...

I need to clean up and optimize the SVG but I'll eventually publish it for anyone to use.

I still want to work on a huuuge shell alias list so I can turn my terminal experience to #German.

Here's some great examples:

• cd -> wv (Wechsle Verzeichnis)
• mkdir -> rstvz (eRSTelle Verzeichnis)
• rm -> ef (Entferne)

Can't see anything going wrong.

TIL about using pbpaste (on MacOS for example) to directly apply a git e-mail patch that is currently saved to your clipboard:

pbpaste | git apply

(Obviously doesn't carry over the submitters email/name etc, but for tiny changes it makes things easier than exporting mbox)

Picked this up from mail today. Fourth edition of "Guide to LaTeX" (don't Google it, kids!) from 2004. It came from UK and, apparently, belonged to some D. Linton.
Also, as a pleasant surprise, it contained TexLive 2003 distribution for Windows, Linux and MacOS UNSEALED!
I love thrift books.

Over the moon that we (finally) did this!

🎉 We're the first department at the @universityofgroningen to adopt #PeerTube, and I hope others will follow.

Next step: Exploring how we can embed PeerTube videos into our university's CMS.

Would you use your main computer as a web server? It is dedicated machine the only way to go?

My two sonas! 🌟☄

My mother taught me how to embroider towels and pillowcases when I was seven or so. She kept me in supplies and expected no less than perfect stitching. Less than perfect was ripped out and redone.
She sold my work to fund missionary programs for the church. After I mastered embroidery I leveled up to crochet and tatting to add lace edges.
In the 1960's and 70's I earned my own extra money embellishing bell bottoms for friends.
I gave up this kind of delicate work for years and years.
Until I lost my son. I took up my needle again and sewed dozens and dozens of towels to focus on something in hand.
When Summer came to live with us she filled much of that emptiness and I put the sewing away again.
I am starting again to craft a few gifts. It is something I can give without having to shop.
This time it's just for fun.

미국 노동시장서 가짜/거짓? 채용공고 증가했다는 분석 나옴. More Perfect Union 등에서 전체 채용공고 중 약 30%가 실제 채용 의도 없음이라 주장함. MyPerfectResume 보고서도 공고 대비 실제 채용 크게 못 미친다고 지적함. 이유는 인재풀 확보 목적, 회사 성장 이미지용, 예산 보류 등 다양함. x.com/MorePerfectU... 문제는 이걸 기반으로 실업률이나 경제상황을 예상하므로... 30%는 부풀려진 상태라고 보면 될듯

this is a surprising amount of effort. it is not enough

Yesterday l rode my bicycle from Ventura to Santa Barbara. 37ish miles with a mix of beach side bike paths, access roads, commercial streets, residential roads, and some dirt trails. I went through rich neighborhoods, transient hangouts, nature reserves, surfer parking lots, strawberry fields, and horse ranches. I even carried my bike over the #amtrak Surfliner tracks at one point.

It was an interesting ride! Not the usual fitness grind. I discovered a lot of areas that I see from the freeway usually. Finding my way was a bit complicated though. Lots of stops to look at a map.

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛
