@smlavine I recently discovered this and was surprised how well it does in helping debug stuff. Even just by pasting schema and shell output it figures out where I'm doing something wrong fairly well.
Rules of the game:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Turn to page 42
- Find the 2nd sentence
- Post the sentence in a toot with the hashtag & write the rules as a comment to it
- Don't look for your favourite, coolest or wittiest book. Go for the closest.
Take a look at the instruments table shown in Figure 2-4.

The BlueSky wiki is absolutely hilarious
The first cybercafe. 1995, colorized.
"Simple."
Dune Prophecy S1E1 was not terrible. Let's see how it progresses.
@rambler_atx Honestly I wish I'd bought a pair sooner. You won't regret it.
This looks eerily familiar with Honk's "first" feed. Another @tedu innovation being stolen by big tech.
Today was my heavy (ish) squat day and also the first time I've ever used knee sleeves. Gotta say, I am pretty annoyed I didn't buy a pair sooner. Really helped with the knee aches during rest periods. I got the SBD powerlifting 7mm pair. Highly recommend!
#powerlifting
@pronto I'm stocked up.
Not sure why because I'm not a city nerd (but I do like most of the "urbanist" ideas) but I'm a huge fan of @nerd4cities YT channel.
Anyhoo, I see in your latest video you said bye bye to the bird site - Good for you. Looking forward to you posting more on the Fediverse.
@pronto LOL
It's not new and I've read it before, but this blog post from the #SQLite folks is a great reference on how to design an application around a relational database:
What If OpenDocument Used SQLite?

I don't always dress up for Halloween but when I do, it's usually because my wife made me.
#halloween in #nicaragua
Yes. Just yes.
What a weird and wild game. At some point the #Dodgers pitching was so bad I almost turned it off because I couldn't stomach watching walk after walk.
Some how they came back from 5-0 and won the game! World Series Champions!!!

Open source communities gathering around Discord are like Vegan communities meeting at a Steakhouse.

@tedu Gotcha. I only needed it for a dovecot integration that needed some bug fixing. I got so frustrated I was going to write a program in Go and just have the Lua script call it but I couldn't figure out how to read/write to the process hah!
So I ended up fixing it in Lua after an hour or two of troubleshooting and throwing my laptop around the room.
@john @jbcrawford I haven't live in Abq since 2004 but I went last year for work reasons and was shocked at how much certain parts of the city have improved. Nob Hill was nicer. The Central Ave bus improvements and generally all along this few mile stretch was also amazing to see.
Cool bars and restaurants. Lots of vegan options. I really wished I'd appreciated NM more when I lived there because I totally enjoyed returning to visit. I was not expecting that.
My wife and I drank a bottle of wine last night watching the latest Penguin and after it was over, we discovered there is the new (and final) season of My Brilliant Friend currently rolling out. Not sure how I missed this but it's already 7 episodes aired so we're binging until caught up.
Those 4 books are so damn good and the series is nearly as good. If you haven't read/seen it, I highly recommend doing so (both!)
Some shots of relaxing beach weekend in Popoyo, #Nicaragua.
Lou Dog always enjoys the views!
@tedu So I'll file it in the "I'll get around to it" list.
@cptn "Do NOT tell your wife about this app!"
@tedu Season 3 complete? Should I watch S2? I'm still waiting on your final review hah

@benjamineskola Thanks for the reply. That actually helps me feel a bit better about things hah.
@whynothugo Saved for when I update because this would drive me f'n crazy
I've never struggled so hard to figure how to do something so simple (ie, send a http request or spawn a process where I can read/write to it) than I have with #Lua. I know it has it's fans but jeez.
Most search results are from like 2007 and recommend using 3rd party gists or partial solutions.

Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery
Discussion of sharing of nonconsensual nude imagery
Researchers uploaded 50 nude photos to X.
Then, it reported 25 of them for being nonconsensual. And the other as "copyright infringements."
X removed the copyright-reported nude images.
The nonconsensual nude photos stayed.
Please share.

As Cat 4 Hurricane Milton prepares to wreck havoc on Florida, a reminder that Gov DeSantis rejected $11B in Federal aid meant to address climate & infrastructure, & banned the phrase "climate change" from Florida laws.

@icy @benjojo I did a sort of merge between both of your work but it still doesn't work for me. I was gonna try just using Ben's today at some point and see if that works for me.

@benjojo @icy Cool. Thanks!
@drewdevault If you're in the US less than 30 days a year you can quality for foreign earned income tax credit, where I think it's currently at 126.5K/year tax free. After that you're taxed on the normal bracket system.
This is what I do.
@benjojo Did you patch honk? I know @icy had something for this before but I never actually got it working on honk and afaik, he never got back around to it.
Dutch government announces that they'll make Mastodon available to all layers of the entire Dutch government, as a shared service of the government, starting in 2025!
The Mastodon pilot of the government celebrates their 1-year anniversary today, and as part of the evaluation they stated the Mastodon pilot "strengthens digital autonomy and [creates] a safe and reliable information supply".
Announcement (in Dutch): https://www.digitaleoverheid.nl/nieuws/1-jarig-mastodon-overheid-blikt-terug-en-vooruit/
@icy Oh, you don't know how many times I've heard "But you talk like a white guy" or also, "You don't look Hispanic, you look white?" I expect dumb comments like that in the US but I guess I shouldn't assume it's only a US thing.
In #Nicaragua, immigrants who just have residency (like myself) have to renew it every 6 months. It's an easy process but just usually very slow and very hot/uncomfortable/sweaty.
Today I had it done in record time. 2 hours and 10 minutes. Also wasn't terribly hot because we had both a tropical storm and a hurricane cover the country for the last week. So still a lot of residue cloud coverage. My own little silver lining.
@john @ols Good catch. Still, I must know why?
@ols But why are you being scolded?
Absentee ballot printed. Time to vote for a candidate who's not: 1) a convicted felon, 2) a grifter, and 3) orange.
@ols Hah, dude. You really framed that like it was a rugby injury. Nice one!
@ols My man plays rugby and wonders why his body hurts
Also vegan high five!
@ols Did you do something specific to it? Is it an injury or ongoing pain?
I ask because I had lower back pain and sciatic issues most of my life. What used to help me a lot was a few stretches I'd do in the morning and evening but it never really resolved it. Also you should try to reduce dairy/red meats as they're pretty inflammatory and that can cause pressure on nerves, etc.
Since going vegan 8 years ago I've had no back pain at all, I assume due to way less inflammation in my body. Not preaching veganism to you, just saying that's what worked for me.
@ptd Hah, for real!
This photo of the Bridge Fire in the hills behind Los Angeles speaks to the fact that we are in the midst of a cataclysm and the vast majority of people have no idea
Multiple analyses show that if Trump had simply invested his multi-million-dollar inheritance in an index fund and didn’t touch it, he’d be a lot richer than he is now.
Think about that. His entire life’s work has been less successful than if he’d done nothing.
@tedu I think I'll wait for reactions (yours!) of S3 then before giving new hours to the series.
Was on vacation last week. Did I miss anything good?
@tedu Is season 2 good? I watched S1 and I wasn't that in love with the series. I was surprised to see a new season, which was S3. I had no idea S2 even existed. I may give it another shot.
at a protocol level, the internet is only really capable of transmitting two types of data: TCP (True Crime Podcast) and UDP (Unlistenable D&D Podcast)

9850 Americans or 0.0029% of Americans are worth $100M or more, and could be subject to Harris's 25% tax on unrealized gains.
265,200,000 Americans or 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
The people who might 'only' be worth $75M want to lecture working Americans struggling to get by on how difficult life might become for them.
"We just sent you a temporary code by email. It will expire in 2 minutes"
Are you kidding me? These days with all the grey-listing and anti-spam measures it could take an email much longer than 2 minutes to arrive... Who in their right mind coded that?
