Parents: Having trouble getting your kid to sleep? Are they somewhere between 2 and 4? Tell them the story of the sun and the moon. The sun was following the moon for a long time. Until one day, last year, the sun met up with the moon, and they had a little baby dragon (for us it was a dragon […]

Tonight’s vibe: Friday night bath time dance party on a Tuesday, courtesy of kpop demon hunters. Kid a: I don’t like this it’s dumb Me : then why are you dancing? Kid b: _incoherent screeching trying to sing soda pop_

Advice to #hamradio folks who advertise their repeaters for emergency and disaster use, always good to figure out what your exact reserves are and how much of an emergency/disaster your site can take -- and hopefully design it to be as resilient as possible, and […] [Original post on ai6yr.org]

[B4ux1t3 is mopey for no reason] That awkward moment when you find yourself looking forward to the day your kids move out, followed by the feeling of utter crushing sadness at the very thought. #parenting

Dinner docket: shishito peppers and soup for me, uh, sausage eggs and bagel for the kids. Older kid got one of the hot ones yesterday and now they’re both terrified of the things.

It's looking good! this is a fresh run, no existing data.

I had to jump through a LOT of hoops in this project all because #foundryvtt doesn't provide, like, "authorized" download URLs for cloud deployments. This is a thing pepole have been doing forever, especially since cloud became a thing. My goal with this project was to let people plug in a […]

I _think_ I've managed to scrub all of my secrets out of the repo. . . Hopefully.

[The shit I have to do because Sam Altman thinks his smart sand is a superintelligence] MY note on LLM/AI usage on my new project, from the readme: So, here's the deal: Using AI (sigh, that term. . .) coding tools is. . .dumb. They're unreliable, they're slow, and they invade your privacy in a […]

Note to self: Exclude node_modules when you're running sloccount.

Somehow missed the fact that @scalzi launched a new Old Man’s War book. I am a fake fan. ‘Scuse me, I’m busy for the next few hours.

Today's mood: Unironically rocking out to my toddlers' favorite songs. #dannygo #parenting

My StartPlaying player care portal is finally almost done. I just need to finish ironing it out and getting foundry set back up and I can start GMing for folks again. If anyone’s interested in trying out #drawsteel, I’m planning to run a short two-to-three shot of some adventure or another […]

Re: the slack thing, and everyone saying “that’ll teach them to use a proprietary platform instead of hosting their own open source matrix instance!” It costs, at minimum, 60 grand a year to pay someone who knows enough to manage even a small chat instance securely. And that’s like scraping the […]

So, there's been a house going up across the street from us for a few months now. For the longest time, it was being worked on by a bunch of hispanic dudes. My older son (4 years old) and I go for a walk some mornings, and without fail, the guys there would smile and wave at him. If they're […]

So, my only regret here is that next turn, with that drawn card, I could have doubled the hydra _27_ more times, doing approximately 900 _billion_ damage. I honestly don’t know what magic the gathering arena would have done, I believe they use unity, so that […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

I don’t know how else to say it: if you’re offended about people being offended, that makes _you_ the special snowflake that everyone has to wear kid gloves around. How is that not obvious?

So like. . .My #foundryvtt #aspire guest is working fine now behind #dotnet YARP. But the #aspnet applications which go along side it. . .are refusing connections.

[It’s USPol, but, as is increasingly less unusual, has ramifications for all you folks noticing in the US.] Sigh. https://www.404media.co/airlines-sell-5-billion-plane-ticket-records-to-the-government-for-warrantless-searching/ @404mediaco I’m not one to shoot the messenger, but did you have […]

This is really frustrating. Anyone who's worked with #foundryvtt know why it keeps trying to redirect to `hostname:port`, even though I've explicitly called out in its config what domain, pathPrefix, and port it should use? It's really annoying, not least because it's never done this before […]

….. Remember how I said the other day that really weird things catch you off guard when you’re #parenting? My son is now taller than I am when I’m sitting on the ground. I have to look up at him.

[Food pictures] Let’s play a game: three clues, one guess. What am I making?

I really need to set up #drawsteel in foundry… I gotta get my foundry infrastructure back up, though. 😬

[Talk of carnivore food, and a sad one at that] I don’t know who loooked at a turkey and was like “yeah, that could be bacon” Turkey bacon _looks_ like sadness. It _sounds_ like sadness; pork bacon sizzles with life and vibrancy. Turkey bacon sizzle sounds like that hyper-regular rain that […]

Writing Month testing is going pretty well. 93% coverage based on a list I put together 10 months ago and a Saturday's half-focused work while playing with the kiddos is. . .pretty good, I'd say.

Got the new iOS upgrade. Man, looks great.

Today I'm hacking on the tests for the writing month repo! Wait, what do you mean there aren't tests? I see them right here!

[I dunno, healing generational trauma or something.] Kiddos and wifey are sick. Kiddo 1 just woke up and was upset that he couldn’t breathe. He’s also in the process of transitioning to big boy pants and stuff, so he had an accident. This kid apologized to me for being sick and said “dad I […]

Aaaaand PR number 2 submitted. It's going to be a good #writingmonth, folks.

Mmmmm, juicy PR incoming. Anyone seen some weird behavior of psycopg and its fetchone function? Apparently now it just throws if you try to fetchone when there isn't a row instead of just returning None?

Ever get in a fight with someone and then mostly resolve it and then feel the crushing need to do open source work immediately after to cleanse your palate? No? Yeah, uh, me either.

[Kid talk, poop] As a parent, the weirdest fucking things catch you off guard. We have diaper genies for both of our kids. However, the older one is done with diapers, and pull ups, as of, basically, last month. But his diaper genie has just been sitting there, full, and we didn’t notice […]

Remember: it’s not aliens until it’s aliens, and it’s not aliens.

Sorry @amin I always come in and start throwing a bunch of infrastructure nonsense at you. :blobfoxlaughsweat:

hey @amin , do you have a short list of things on writingmonth that you want to se get knocked out before November?

The time is swiftly approaching for #writingmonth https://writingmonth.org/ I had a reminder on my calendar from last year to check on the repo, and it looks like the maintainer has been ramping back up in the last few months! WOOO! https://codeberg.org/Freedom-to-Write/writing-month

So, I started the design process for me "anti-ligature" programming language. The gist is "If you use ligatures in your editor font, you're going to have a bad time." To be clear, this is my editor:

"What's the best way to run Windows these days without all the bloat?" Uh.

If you haven’t read #AdrianTchaikovski’s Shroud, do yourself a favor and do it. I’m not quite done with it, but wow. I’m a big fan of his, but this hits a little different.

My first ever #pokemonnuzlocke has ended. I got swept by the level 20 kadabra in the galactic headquarters. Ugh. #pokemon #pokemonplatinum The question is, do I take the time to fonisb the romhack I want for this, or do I just start over immediately?

Now I really want to find out how many pickles you can get by rearranging a person. Sigh. This is how mad scientists are created, isn’t it?

My son just asked me for the recipe for “hot peppers”. So I told him you need some carbon, some hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen is important. Then I said “funny, it’s the same ingredient list as a human!” My 4 year old thought for a second. “Dad could you make a person with a pepper?” Folks, if […]

Wheeee! Modded the 3DS and hShop is amazing! Love the Nintendo homebrew world. Massive shout out to FunkyScott on Youtube for all his excellent tutorials.

………… This rotom better be worth it. #pokemonnuzlocke #pokemon

I just said a very sad thing to my wife: Peace of mind is for the rich.

Angular, why are you making me use hacky, null checked method calls on my forms to enable and disable elements when a simple binding will do? Like, sure, you’re making me manage the state machine that is the form actively. This is good. However, I have established patterns for how I handle the […]

New Banksy! Royal Courts of Justice (1/2) London

This morning: - Sent the return salvo in my war against our property owners association’s management company. They’re trying to fine us for having long grass. I dunno, seems pretty well kept to me. The local tree and flora garden is gorgeous in the sun, eh? - […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]
