as promised, here is a repository that lets you quickly turn any random VPS into a Forgejo Actions runner in under 30 minutes, for use with Codeberg or your private forge! https://codeberg.org/whitequark/nixos-forgejo-actions-runner it uses NixOS internally, but Nix knowledge is neither […]

The existence of mp4 and mp3 implies the existence of mp2 and mp1. If mp4 is for video and mp3 is for audio, does that mean mp2 is for still images? What about mp1? 🤔

Ope! Yay! Timeline works again in @IceCubesApp !! Not sure what broke, whether it was the app or the masto instance I'm on but it works properly again.

Webp wouldn't be such a universally rejected image format if it had actual support from the user side of the equation. Far too many websites' image upload functions reject webp as a valid image format, for example. I'm not talking about the technical side of webp vs. jpeg-xl. I'm talking about […]

This is a new post test.

Hey @IceCubesApp I think the latest update for your app completely broke fetching messages for one's own timeline.

H'okay...! I had to explore this little idea just a bit. De Morgan's Laws state that: 1. A × B = ~A ~+ ~B 2. A + B = ~A ~× ~B These laws are shown in the first two screenshots. I often describe Exclusive-Or as "Or-and-not-and" because that's what it is: A ⊕ B […] [Original post on rubber.social]

Oh, huh. Neat. Inverting the logic of one exclusive-OR input transforms the operation into exclusive-NOR.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about #wayland vs Xorg. Let me dispel some myths; - Wayland is not an active component; It's a protocol. Support of features depend on Compositors, like Kwin and Mutter. - I sometimes see things along the lines of "Wayland developer are resisting xyz". There […]

The winter solstice--the moment of maximum axial tilt away from the sun--has occurred today for the northern hemisphere. Out of curiosity, I looked up when perihelion occurs, which is nearly two weeks away from today (21 Dec) on 3 Jan. That is the point of closest approach to the sun, right at […]

For some reason the past couple of days I've latched a little bit on to Calyo having something of a ram shape with a little bit of cryptidness in there.

The number one way that FOSS fans fail is at convincing others to choose FOSS. Whether that be through: Smugness projected at other users' proprietary chocies Abrasiveness when those same users encounter problems and ask obvious-to-us-but-not-to-them questions about how to navigate the […]

I think all of Calyo's shapes oughta have a thicc and muscly tail. Gotta make sure the tail always has enough girth for a warning label, after all. :)

Reverse isekai. Chosen one in another realm gets "truck kun'd" by whatever passes for a truck in their world and wakes up in normie world. The twist is their powers and the prophecy comes with them and now they have to save normie world first before they can go back and fulfill the prophecy.

Dragonkind's lordship over kobolds is just feudalism with scales, claws, and teeth. In this TED Talk, I will present my thesis with the assistance of my loyal kobolds.

[Ph--] Ugh... two fever cycles yesterday. X.x Went to bed with a fever, woke up two hours later almost melting alive, but slept pretty decently since even if the bed was ever so mildly damp. Now I have to go to work still sick because I literally can't afford to lose more hours to this.

Okay fuck this I'm so sick and tired of the incessant sloppy AI discourse that I'm just going to set a few keywords to mute it forever from my feed here. It's beyond irritating because it's constantly interrupting and barging in on everything else *which is exactly what all these fucking AI […]

[How to cuddle this Product:] If I let you get close enough to me to snuggle up and cuddle, my body is automatically a full hands-on experience should you choose to take it. I am a very tactile plaything. You can put your hands anywhere on my body and I will probably squirm and enjoy it. 110% […]

[Kink, comfort bondage with mild dubnoncon] I can't be the only one here who wants to be put into a comfy cozy rubber straitjacket then cuddled and molested for a couple of hours until my captor has had their fun with me, can I?

[Ph-- 😷] Okay. Yep. I am definitely sick. Back of the throat is raw, I'm coughing up mucus unbidden, and I feel like a wreck. I'm calling out of work today. X.x

After watching a video about class D amplifiers, I've decided that the power amp of my planned made-by-me hi fi audio stack is going to be a class D.

[mh~] my body and my brain have decided that today is an unscheduled maintenance day

[Mh--] I need a year or more to just rest and recuperate. I'm sofuckingtired and stressed and burnt out.

UUUUUUUUGH a fucking Windows 10 update a few weeks ago changed my default PDF viewer from Firefox to Adobe Acrobat without my consent and I was getting BOMBARDED with "USE AI ASSISTANT" feature popups until I realized my fucking PDF viewer had changed. >:( (DO NOT EVANGELIZE LINUX TO ME I […]

A more granular f-list still won't leave my head and it's got to the point now that I've started poking at some color ideas for the subcategories. I might actually have a valid use of the OKLCH system with this... Maybe. Not sure yet. It's just past midnight and I'm struggling to stay awake.

Something really neat that comes put of the wash when you think of conductive paths as CONDUCTIVE instead of resistive is that it changes how you look at Ohm's Law. It's not IR=V (Voltage, energy potential, expressed as a function of current and resistance) It's VG=I (the current that flows is […]

Ask not "am I cringe". For each of us is more cringe than the most under medicated 16 year old YouTuber. Do not seek to be based, for in each of us the soul of Dracula Flow awaits its' moment. Only when one stops seeking to avoid cringe can we achieve truth.

RE: https://mastodon.derg.nz/@youwouldntverbanoun/115699328462519395 sometimes I fall down a rabbit hole analyzing this bot's outputs. "Recrudesce" means to break out again (usually a disease). A "Hypothetical Imperative" is Kant’s term for conditional morality (doing X only to get Y). so […]

Next door neighbor has a XV20 Camry ('96-'01) in his back yard that's just collecting... well... grime... on its bodywork. I should traipse on over and talk to him about it. If the interior's not all clapped out I am going to be *mighty* tempted to buy it off of him and make it a restoration […]

I've decided just this morning that if I ever am able to make the love letter to SimFarm & SimCity game that I want to make, I am going to title it "Classic Style Farming and Town Management Simulator" because what better title to give to a riff on SimFarm and SimCity Classic than a discount […]

once I've put all the stress of saving the house and dealing with the holidays behind me I'm going to turn focus towards setting up my electronics bench and the one known working 3D printer I have and see if I can make some progress on *something.* I'm going to bite the bullet and use […]

I feel like it should be possible for slicers to generate vase mode gcode that is more than one wall thick. Either start at the inside of the vase and spiral out to the outer wall, or vice versa, then switch the spiral direction for the next layer, and so on. The print time for the vase would go […]

You can install the plugin on KiCad 9.0+, or you can try out the GUI and the command line interface from the accompanying PyPI package even without KiCad installed. The CLI can also export gerber and SVG in addition to KiCad footprints. Here's how you run the GUI using uvx: uvx --with cairosvg […]

I've got a new #KiCad plugin out in the KiCad plugin manager: KiCoil generates "twisted" planar inductors. You can make it do one- or two-layer spiral inductors, toroid inductors, and many intermediate, hybrid variants in between spiral and toroid inductors […] [Original post on chaos.social]

*Uuuuuuuugh* I really want to do some blogging but I don't have a working blog and I don't want to use Wordpress or build a static site either. I want to build my own engine that I can expand further into a CMS but I also just don't have the *time* or the ADHD motivation to do any of that. 😩

I have over 1000 hours of factorio playtime and I've only just now figured out that output balancing the individual belts of a mine is actually a useful strat.

okaybutlike... this mashup is actually good??? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DHCwcD5hZ8M

"Should I switch to Linux?" No. Probably not. Look, as insufferable as Windows 11 is, you're already used to the workflows there. "Should I...?" is not the question you should be asking. "Do I want to...?" is the question you should be asking. And the answer needs to be an enthusiastic or […]

I've felt like garbage all day today and I can finally sit down at home and be a stationary pile of garbage.

You can also derive these values by rounding the cube root of 10 (2.15) and the cube root squared of 10 (4.64) to the nearest integers. That technique of taking the n-th root of an interval and then raising it to powers less than n is how you build a set of preferred numbers over the interval […]

For some additional context: the 2-5-10 series of preferred numbers is neat because it roughly equally divides the decade logarithmically into thirds using integer values. Log10(2) ≈ 0.30 which is very close to 0.3333... and log10(5) ≈ 0.70 which is very close to 0.6666...

@pankallisti.bsky.social I get the impression that you would have a *field day* if someone handed you their f-list and was like "Have fun." xD

I have such a massive fucking headache right now. x.x

[AI, RAM prices] honestly BEGGING people to be upset at Micron and not just "AI" because frankly as much as I get being upset at AI, you're basically saying "aw poor micron doesn't have a choice but to go all in on AI" if instead people went "Micron you treacherous motherfuckers" and their PR […]

I post this video any time I see a discussion about moving around in power armour because it really is the closest thing we have IRL to how encumbering and vision restricting a lot of those designs are
