Tonight at @limehouselabs -- you know how UK legislation is frequently "The Something (Bit in Brackets) Order 1984" and sometimes even "The Something Else (Bit in Brackets) (Second Bit) Act 1753"?

Well we were curious what the longest set of brackets one after the other is, and it turns out the answer is 6, in cases such as "The Pigs (Records, Identification and Movement) (Interim Measures) (Wales) (No.2) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2003" (along with 17 other such acts!)

There are 468 pieces of legislation with 5 sequential brackety bits (most of them deal with either shellfish poisoning or coronavirus), 2042 pieces with 4, and so on; see the graph below!

A bar chart counting the number of pieces of legislation with "n" sequential bracketed parts, with "n" on the x axis and the counts on the y. The data is as follows:
8528 acts with 0 sequential bracketed parts
66934 with 1
55528 with 2
12247 with 3
2042 with 4
486 with 5
18 with 6

Hello! I’m an artist new to the whole fediverse thing. I’m really inspired by hope and the echoes of our interactions with the universe around us.

I decided to return to studying the basics in drawing because I would like to give my imagination the dignity of expressing itself.

Eventually, I hope that my art will become more instinctive and better convey cyberpunk/sci-fi/fantasy storytelling, but inspiration is everywhere; I wanna see your work too!

RE: phpc.social/@ramsey/1161049199

This here; when the tools are fit for purpose and make engineers’ jobs easier, you have to pry them from our fingers. All you have to do is look at the dedication to vim/emacs adaptations you’ll see in older coders to see the lengths to which we go to use the tools we feel work best.

It is a massive quality red flag if you have to force your staff to use a tool.

状態機械とイベントディスパッチャーを組み合わせるのは良いアイデアじゃないかと思って作ってるんだけど、こういうフレームワークを作ってその上で開発してみるという行為についてはあんまり予測できない。疎結合になるのは間違いないけど。

In the old Valiant Comics Super Mario Land comic book, Tatanga comes to Earth to lure Mario in "because in this world, you only live once". And Mario gets the help of a couple teenagers (of course), one of which knows the game really well and he points out a pattern of blocks that indicates an invincible star is in it, and he asks Mario why Tatanga's minions would build things that help Mario, and Mario says they don't do it for him, they build the patterns for their own comfort and convenience, and I still think about that to this day.

Comic panel showing 2 teenagers with Mario. 

Teen 1: "Mario I got an idea, look at those blocks, that pattern!"

Teen 2: I get it, but why do Tatanga's engineers build stuff that might help YOU, Mario? 

Mario: They don't. They build stuff for their own comfort and convenience. It can be used against them though, if you know how, and we know how!

been informed trans mom dot love might need to relocate :thounking: what bad timing, right when I don't have expendable money even for groceries…

I don't see any ways I can keep my services up except dusting off some of these hard drives if they still work, spending a few precious weekends I'd rather be out hiking on fiddling with operating systems on raspberries/pine64s/etc., and literally running trans mom dot love from my living room on home fibre with dynamic IP?? because like the only price I can pay for a server at the moment is 0€, and the only server I know of that costs 0€ is my raspberry. forced permacomputing lmao

let's see, what are the main services that I run at trans mom dot love:

- main mastodon
- secret gotosocial alt
- email
- nextcloud
- vaultwarden
- matrix
- photoprism
- https files (mostly images for the blogs atm)

I do still have access to the dreamhost shared web account that costs 0€ since mid-2000s for reasons I won't get into, but that's a non-root old-fashioned webhosting account where I can ssh and put things on port 443, but I can't run my own daemons or other software. at best php+sql stuff (using fcgi and their own sql server). I can use it to share static files I think, but not nextcloud or anything that looks like "cloud storage". mastodon is right out.

mastodon can probably be run from my home, slowly, even with dynamic IP (I've done it before). maybe it would be a good time to migrate my main to gotosocial and retire from using masto altogether.

email I guess the only solution is to give up self-hosting and use the Dreamhost server. at least I have [redacted] for political activities.

vaultwarden is a bit of a challenge :thounking: I suppose I could revert to keepass, using one different keepass database for each of my identities (and therefore losing the functionality of group account sharing), because then I just have to sync some files which could probably be achieved with syncthing.

photoprism will have to be replaced by some offline photo management thing, assuming my old HDDs are still not too banged up, and I will just have to live without the ability to invoke my old glamorous selfies / porn when I'm outside the house, which I rarely do anyway.

nextcloud. there's two uses for this: one is sharing files / calendar / etc. with the family, the other is me accessing notes and documents when I'm outside. I suppose both could be reasonably achieved with a living room server. local access won't be slow, and remote access will be very slow but should be doable for stuff like notes or emergency getting the pdf of a form. if I'm unlucky I may have to wait a dynamic-DNS propagation.

matrix is not as necessary for me as it once was. these days I only use it to talk with the family about certain topics I'd rather self-host. but at this point it might be easier to move everyone to something like Deltachat etc.

in any case I guess what I can be sure of is I'll have to resume working on my long-abandoned homelab and make this precarious living room LAN halfway decent, if it's going to be hosting half of my Internet-facing services...

아니 근데 모-든 나라에 관세 10% 추가 하면 모든 나라의 수출 경쟁력에 문제 없는거 아닌가요(..) 미국 내수로 해결할 수 있는게 그리 많지가 않을텐데. 배도 램도 못 만드는게... (폭언)
