Once again, my strange tendency to read large parts of the POSIX standard in my free time has proven useful in my professional work. 😂

Do any of y'all have ideas for computer accessibility options for someone who has hand RSI and sometimes has trouble speaking? In other words, an alternative computer control method to keyboards (including touchscreen ones), mouse, or speech. Needs to work on Linux for both prose and programming.

My friend's cat, which is also their emotional support animal, has cancer and requires surgery for it. This is on top of already-expensive medication. If you're able, please consider donating to the GoFundMe to help cover the costs! gofund.me/9f0dfde44

Apparently this needs to be stated: If I ask your opinion on a topic, and you give me an AI's answer, you're disrespecting both of us. If I ask your opinion, it means I respect and trust you as a person and want to know what you think. Refusing to put thought in yourself is wasting both our time.

nothing like opening a file that's unexpectedly 15,224 lines of code to make me appreciate neovim

Anyone know why a Casio MDV106 (quartz analog watch) would lose roughly 1.5 minutes per day? Battery is less than a week old, and it actually was losing *1 second per minute* right after replacing it (so in 10 hours it lost 10 minutes). Someone else poked at it a bit and it's better, but not fixed.

One time I commented on how odd it was that peanut butter and orange juice caused a specific sensation somewhere between "spicy" and "itchy" that I really enjoyed. It unfolded exactly like this comic.

i went and recorded it (based on a tumblr shitpost)

when i was like 8 years old i was left unattended with an old phone that had a non-RJ11 jack and spliced together two cables to make an adapter for it... while one of those cables was plugged into the phone jack... and promptly learned this lesson.

#GemCoop namespaces are now out of beta! gem.coop/updates/7/ I am *SUPER* excited about this!

Multiple people have spent the last 9 hours into trying to get this system to behave itself (most of which was trying to use the proprietary nvidia drivers). I've got no idea what would cause this.

Weird problem: Fresh Debian 13 install; system has a i7-7700K + RTX 1060, using nouveau drivers + KDE. - Discord won't open a window, spawns a zombie process - Steam won't open a window, spawns a zombie process - Discord's web interface in Firefox reconnects to voice chats endlessly Any ideas?

My friend @juliethecyborg.bsky.social is in a video by @assistiveware.bsky.social. AAC is a powerful thing that more people should know about. Speaking is difficult for me at times, and tools like Proloquo let me communicate clearly when I otherwise struggle to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zghm...

If I wanted to color calibrate a monitor on a Linux system, what colorimeter and software should I be using? Leaning towards DisplayCal + a SpyderExpress. Are there better options to consider?

*Today* I got to play with a busted MSI Tomhawk MAX II motherboard and Ryzen 7 1700 that probably works. So I did some more macro photography. 🙂 pup-e.com/photos/msi-m...

Got to look at a busted i9-13900KF today, used it as a chance to do some macro photography. 🙂 pup-e.com/photos/i9-13...

also i was tired when posting this and so missed a link: keepasschi.org

in case you missed it, we decided to fork KeePassXC. (post linked in the screenshot below: keepassxc.org/blog/2025-11...) join us @ #keepasschi on libera.chat!

Realtek: that sure is an ethernet-shaped hole, but whatever's on the other end of that cable won't like what comes out of it.

They shouldn't have ruled out griefing OOPS LOL My harmless prank to friends got way out of hand

Anyone play modded #Minecraft and know what would cause 30-block-tall 2x2 pillars of infested deepslate, with torches at the top, to show up *two weeks* into the server running? Griefing is ruled out. We suspect it's a mod, but not sure which bc we have 219 mods: gist.github.com/duckinator/9...

Anyone know who I should inform that the opensuse/leap:latest image on Docker Hub is pointing at 15.6 instead of 16.0?

Few experiences compare to encountering the incoherent screeching of a skunk as it flails around in its den under your house.

#GemCoop just* launched a public beta for namespaces! gem.coop/updates/5/ * I'm sick and slept until 7pm, so I'm a few hours late, but I'm still super excited about this!

Bork v11 just released itself to PyPi using GitHub Actions as a Trusted Publisher! pup-e.com/blog/bork-v11/ I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS. Try it! Let me know if it works! ❤️

Gajim is the best XMPP client I've tried, by far. But they barely get any donations. If you want a good XMPP client to exist, and you have spare cash, maybe toss some their way? liberapay.com/Gajim/

Bevy Jam #7 starts in 2 days! It isn't too late to sign up! itch.io/jam/bevy-jam-7

my gf's on the phone with [cellphone company] and i swear i just heard the automated voice system use the word "primordial", and i am concerned.

the work begins! github.com/rouge-ruby/r...

The winners of the 2026 Gem Fellowship have been announced! gem.coop/updates/2026... There are some *awesome* projects that got funded because of this.

I was going to jokingly ask whether folks thought Minecraft's login servers would get fixed before Hytale got a sizable mod community. But turns out Hytale came out 2 days after MC's servers started imploding and there's already over 3,500 mods for it. So, there's that.

i have this recording i made a few months back: duckinator.bandcamp.com/track/experi... easily my favorite piece of music i've made. but the recording is *shit*. i've tried (& failed) a few times to figure out what the notes of the repeating pattern are. anyone have suggestions on how to do this?

truly astounding that we've hit 21 days of the Minecraft login servers going down on a daily basis. they still haven't even acknowledged it is happening.

gem coop update #4: we have an experimental gem source with a 48-hour cooldown built in! there's also updates on what non-gem-coop stuff we've all been up to, as well. gem.coop/updates/4/

Huge shout out to the pip team for putting up with my sporadic work on a PR for OVER FIVE YEARS, then doing the last bit of work to get it finished. Y'all are amazing, and contributing to pip is always an enjoyable experience. Hopefully next time I don't take as long! 😅 github.com/pypa/pip/pul...

Do you like taking unscientific personality tests? I have developed one that will definitely tell you something about yourself. Guaranteed free of malware! Extremely shareable results!! It’s free and online!!!! wuffs.org/quiz/
