I wrote a #note about adding similarity based sorting in #miniflux #feedreader: https://abhinavsarkar.net/notes/2025-miniflux-similar-sorting/ #blog #programming

Wrote some JavaScript code to customize #miniflux #feedreader to automatically sort articles by similarity. Now I can read similar articles one after another easily.

while working on the win10 -> gnome a4 for the halifax #endof10 event, i installed microsoft edge from flathub because... i dunno, it's there and why not, i guess. are all microsoft products this obnoxious? it really rivals google for shitty user interfaces. it started with the world's slowest […]

The "timeline" interface on #bluesky and/or #mastodon is not particularly useful if you follow many infrequently posting accounts (the so called long-tail where the real beauty of online networks resides). A simple way to solve this (partially - it is read […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I’m turning 40 in a few weeks. I’m very excited. When I was a young queer child I often wondered: how am I going to have a life if I am ‘wrong’? I set myself an arbitrary deadline of ‘by 40, I should have figured it out’. I knew that I would need more time than my cishet peers. I feel very […]

The tiny but complete #json parser that I wrote in #haskell years ago is now featured in the 200-and-change collection of programs by @dubroy: https://pdubroy.github.io/200andchange #programming

These days I see many website #feeds becoming inaccessible with a 403 forbidden error. I think it's because people are (mis)configuring their servers to forbid scrapping by bots. However, #rss feeds are meant to be accessible by bots (feedreaders) on behalf of their users. I've been reaching out […]

off the back of a lovely conversation with @jnsgruk where we both agreed that "gnome calendar is easily the most beautiful calendar app out there", i've been thinking about the occasional question i've received about what to build in the app tier. previously, i'd waffle with some non-committal […]

Possibly the best graph ever. You are more likely to die from an asteroid destroying Earth than a skydiving accident, being struck by lightning, or being trampled by an elephant.

I'm writing a series of blog posts, in which I write a #bytecode #compiler and a #virtualmachine for arithmetic in #haskell. We explore the following topics in the series: - Parsing arithmetic expressions to ASTs. - Compiling ASTs to bytecode. - Interpreting ASTs. - Efficiently executing […]

"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software. Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority: - sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon) - sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from […]

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours. - Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours) - more intuitive for people who use electricity - never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]

[Exercise, mh] I’ve been going on more runs lately. I think what has helped has been acknowledging that I don’t have to think of ‘going for a run’ as ‘good’ or ‘not going’ as ‘bad’. I’m accepting that being outside, preferably in some long walk or run format, is a core pillar of my mental […]

As maintainer of nix-output-monitor I have an important public announcement: "AaaAAAAaaaAAAAAAaaAAAaaah!" Reasoning: At this point #nix, #lix and #determinatenix have three different json log formats. I think it is still possible to support them all in one parser at this point. But I already […]
