query performance too slow? simply load 570 million 8 byte integers into memory. you certainly will not regret keeping five gigabytes of numbers in RAM.

Learned about a better way to efficiently query hamming distances against a dataset ("Fast Search in Hamming Space with Multi-Index Hashing") and compared to the BK tree approach I was using before it's a 90% decrease in median latency and 80% decrease in RAM usage and that's wild.

Fox in the Foliage

tried to do better backups of a device and the SSD disappeared from the system while it was running, so that's interesting. also discovered I apparently have a couple of SSDs in one of my servers that just... aren't mounted or used for anything and I don't remember why??

"Hello World" - experimental Illustration for Folleach, with their bonk painting a world of his dreams. Knowing him, it'll have free wi-fi for everyone, and maybe some rivers and smaller streams to toy around with the boats in ^v^ #art #feral #wolf #canine #drawing

Huge shoutout to all the wonderful folks I got to work with at FurtheMore's reg last weekend, everyone crushed it this year! Ran some stats and at our peak we were handing out a badge every 13 seconds across 4 pickup stations. I'm very happy with that number.

help I opened eBay and now I'm considering buying another zebra printer

pain at the pump (the pump is Micro Center)

Well, the AC definitely works in here at least. It’s still dropping in temp.

furthemore tomorrow...

you can tell I printed it because it’s purple

always relevant

Finally got around to revisiting cut line generation in this alternate client for the PixCut S1 and it's working much better now. All the tiny details are getting properly attached to the main shapes. Also added some basic features like background color and ability to reorder and not cut images.

oh right furthemore is in a week, that's soon 👀

My review of Android XR and the Galaxy XR headset is live on @spacebar.news! I have a lot of thoughts.

I have 6 different barcode scanners on my desk right now. It's definitely not a problem... *hides eBay cart*

Spring is coming! 🌱 [ #art #characters ]

Got a device from eBay that was "New Open Box" with a battery from 2022 and it was immediately throwing charging errors, what a surprise. Trickling a couple of mA in to raise the voltage seems to have gotten it to start a real charge at least. Miiight keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case...

Comfort

I'm so glad Traefik can route based on SNI and pass the TLS through to a service that needs to manage its own certificates instead of having to do things on non-standard ports.

somehow the majority of my VRChat friendgroup seems to coordinate things over IRC now which is a really funny technology difference

woke up to a bunch of my services being down. apparently I don't have monitoring on one of my servers for running out of disk space. not the best way to start the day!

I have more of these abstract bg YCHs again if anyones interested! 🔸FCFS 🔸will be either fullbody or halfbody depending on what composition works best! 🔸Additional characters are +$50 🔸DM me the number you want to claim it :>

happy valentines 💙

It seems like every day I learn that there's a new incredibly cursed way to talk to Zebra printers. Apparently you can get them to generate CSRs using a multipart form structure, but of course you have to start by telling it you're making a JSON request?? support-new.zebra.com/article/0000...

oh furthemore is soon and I still haven't figured out my hotel situation (not being in daily commute distance is the worst), any mutuals have room space? :3

working with an SDK that says "confidential and proprietary" at the top of every file but there's like a million copies of it on github already, so I guess they don't care lol

you know you're reading some fun docs when it starts talking about what a feature is called in windows 95

apple built a wonderful "DataScannerViewController" view to scan data using the camera, but there's no way to get it to use a front facing camera, so I can't use it at all, cool

this is incredible

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/

back from the con so you know what it's time for, buying more zebra equipment on ebay!!

eternally wishing for private accounts writing out thoughts kinda helps force me to process them better, but being visible to everyone is too much.

2026: A year to get weirder. C'mon everyone you can do it, too!

going from absolutely wonderful FC weather (high 60s, sunny) to DC weather (feels like 20, windy, dark) is awful

avoiding the breakfast line in the Hyatt by consuming only sugar and carbs, the perfect meal

I tried a Waymo, it cut off a Tesla to make a left turn and did this, weird experience!
