The beauty of the internet is that information is but a click away. I embraced the joy of random knowledge, and this book is an invitation for you to do the same. Here's #2IL, the sequel to #TIL - 52 weeks, 52 new things that we could think about.

今日先知道 Windows XP 時代的桌布原圖其實好大

比如 Azul 是由 Bill Ross 在 1991 年拍攝的作品，實際名稱是「Sailing on the Blue Sea」，大小是 4341x2841，但 Windows 內建桌布版本只有800x600 大小

這裏還有其他一些的原圖：https://archive.org/details/theoriginalfilesofsomewindowswallpapers

I don't know if I am out of the loop because I am using @ivoryIvory by Tapbots as a #Mastodon client, but I just now learned that "unlisted" has been renamed to "quiet public". #TIL

#TIL about boxes.py! Not a new project, but new to me. And it's super cool!

Need to build or design a laser-cut box? They've got you covered.

Although I'm an internet oldtimer I'm rather inexperienced when it comes to so-called social networks. I've been learning mastodon's community rules while on the go since I've joined. I'd be happy if the following might turn out to be useful for you.

#TIL
Following somebody actually has two meanings.

1. The person wants to see postings by the followed account in their home feed (like with followed hashtags).
2. They're giving the followed account consent to comment on anything they post.

#TIL 홈브류는 최초 설치 시에 아키텍쳐를 읽어서 어느 prefix를 붙일지 결정하고 이에 따라 이후 설치하는 패키지의 타겟 아키텍쳐도 결정한다. 또한 x86으로 컴파일 된 앱에서 홈브류를 구동하면 실제 아키텍쳐와 상관없이 무조건 x86 prefix인 /usr/local로 진행한다. 따라서 인텔 기반 맥에서 홈브류를 통해 별도의 터미널 어플리케이션을 설치 · 세팅하고 M1으로 넘어와서 그 터미널로 홈브류를 계속 써왔다면 여전히 인텔용 홈브류를 쓰고 있을 가능성이 크다.

그리고 지금은 M4가 현역이다..

#TIL that I can use many non-Latin characters as variable names in #python
EG:
猫怪獣 = "দানব বিড়াল"

I once heard about an issue with urls that use different characters that look the same. That works in Python too. EG
Маstоdоn = 1
Mastodon = 2
Маstоdоn
1

TIL you can set the persistent storage of docker using “data-root” property in daemon.json

https://docs.docker.com/engine/daemon/#daemon-data-directory

Had to change this because I have a separate partition for root and /home, and docker defaults to the root which was smaller

Neat. A #CLI interface to endoflife.date? I had no idea. Very cool! (The addition of color into 3.14 is pretty awesome, too!). Thanks for your work.

常常看到 equality 跟 equity 二詞，但一直不知道有何分別。查了一下才發現，equality 是指齊頭式平等、equity 是立足點平等（實質平等），所以其實不是同義詞。

Today I learned that the fediverse platform Honk can import posts from a Mastodon, Twitter, or Instagram archive and backdate them appropriately. That's honkin' terrific!

TIL: how to disable cron for GitHub forks

Quick update to this post: no need to hardcode the repo owner name, which makes it easier to maintain projects across organisations.

Hey Fediverse! I plan to make this profile a notebook of #TIL bits about #webdev, #javascript, #golang, #software and #hardware. Probably the odd toot about digital privacy, free speech and computer history. Will try to help the community as best as I can!

#introduction #Programmer by day, #Musician by night. Dad to two beautiful girls, all the time.

Currently doing #Volatil, a mostly #instrumental #music project where I try to make a piece of not-too-polished, #experimental music manifest every two weeks. With it, I've learned new stuff and played with different instruments, effects, and ideas. I may or not be compiling the best pieces from this year into an album.

I also maintain a #TIL blog with software development tips. And this server!

#til infrared was originally called “dark heat” — I like dark heat better tbh

@sarajwSara Joy #TIL thanks! 🙏 🥰

One of my favorite things about being a parent is that I'm constantly learning fascinating facts about the world - stuff that I normally would not be exposed to.

My child's current obsession? Drawing flags.

So yesterday I bought her a book about flags and we learned about the #Wiphala (her favorite flag in the book) - "a square emblem commonly used as a flag to represent some native peoples of the Andes."

Find out more about it here:

Random TIL 1

Coal can be classified by its "rank", which measures carbon content and heating value. In descending rank, the rocks are called Anthracite, Bituminous, Subbituminous and Lignite (from lat. lignum = wood). Generally, the deeper, the higher the rank (Hilt's law).
