what a week, huh.

Last night, @crazy4pi314 and I hit "go" on posting a draft charter for the rereading Project. After Calibre betrayed readers and writers alike, it's clear to me that something as essential as personal archival of book libraries should not be a burden placed on a single individual — my hope is […]

one of the biggest misconceptions about microchips people have is that the process is anything close to "fully automatic" it really isn't. i mean, some operations are, but look at this video! there's a human like every other step of the process. and it's not like this is some expensive unique […]

"Chip Expansion" has got to be a fetish https://youtu.be/5--LfHdshco?t=121

why... is jlcpcb expecting to fuck up _exactly half_ of the SMD crystals?!

huh, the cloud really did eat everything

hot take: they should build a lot of commie blocks in the UK

anyone wanna draw me a bird of prey? it's for a cool project

i think this is a pretty good video and also a good summary of how i feel aboit "AI water use problem" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_c6MWk7PQc

@whitequark Thinking of it that way, left-pad was very funny indeed. What is Big Boat Stuck but all F500 websites.

i think we learned the wrong lessons from left-pad. maybe it would create a better world if any npm user could pull a "stop cord" for the entire silicon valley corporate environment

me: i wanna buy this mug off aliexpress her: im worried for you! what if it has lead in it me: *thinks* im gonna buy a lead testing kit from aliexpress

what if i made cursed activitypub software

i want to find and steal a mole (Talpa europaea) somewhere

i have finished the git-pages administrator's manual, a nearly 5000 word long document covering basically every aspect of configuration and operation please enjoy / use / criticise https://git-pages.org/running-a-server/

i'm writing proper docs for git-pages; does this style of writing look good? does it communicate the point well? https://git-pages.org/running-a-server/

#gitpages now has a _redirects file linter that warns you if your redirect accidentally ends up "dead" (never triggered because you have a file with the same name)

material for mkdocs is very very good overall but this option feels like a fever dream > alternate style > the only supported style > defaults to not using it ???

the team behind material for mkdocs have built a new static site generator i open their webpage and it lags my entire pc with, i think, this background animation of "moving lines". taking a screenshot took several seconds and chromium stopped rendering the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

every once in a while people recommend that i use a static site CDN of some sorts and i have to respond with "i literally operate a static site CDN. i got that part covered"

#caturday #cats

what's the static site generator du jour for a project website?

got jumpscared by https://homura.dance/ in my domain list

should i make a dedicated website for git-pages

with iomem=relaxed and peekpoke i can get that hardware transparency from the 80s back on a modern system

psst! you! do you write Go? check this out: https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/blob/aad2224095c5a956d0d46334699c489e37412d7a/ext/seq/push_coro.go

this is the most "questions already answered by my shirt" that i've seen in a while

hey remember this slide

with the latest change, git-pages is now fully incremental: whether you're deploying from a git repositroy or from a directory via the CLI, it doesn't reupload files that are already a part of your site (± some corner cases)

#gitpages now supports incremental site updates when uploading an archive! pictured are logs for two individual uploads: 1a. PUT probe (says blobs are missing) 1b. PUT upload (uploads all the blobs) 2. PUT probe (says all the blobs are already there)

If you’re not familiar with it, in 2023, I set up an index of free downloads Microsoft deleted from their website. Almost everything they purged has been preserved in the Wayback Machine, but it’s hard to find what you need. This makes it easy to download from a source you can trust […]

i agree that this is depressing, but i don't think AI is the _cause_. this problem started when we collectively decided to gatekeep social and physical mobility with higher education i went to university ~15 years ago. a naive idiot, i thought that i'm there […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@mcc incidentally, is your matrix server fucked

#GitPages now implements an audit system that allows on-line, background processing of uploaded content to e.g. scan it for viruses, phishing, and other abusive material I consider this table stakes for any service with open registration, so now I can […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

#GitPages now supports atomic partial updates using the PATCH method: give it a subdirectory and it will update its contents without touching anything else you can use it to e.g. upload previews of built documentation without having to maintain giant git […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

there's something very amusing to me in how the `go` keyword is among the least essential parts of the Go language it could've been a part of the standard library, like every other language does it, and absolutely nothing of value would be lost (`select` is a different and much more […]

is this FUD?

do you know whether this "may" is actually a "shall" or not? does this differ per-OS?

do i know anyone who has real-world experience with POSIX advisory locking? bonus points if it involves using NFS or Ceph

this is the most executive-brained thing i've seen this month (to the S3 object) "hello, computer?"

another case of AGPLv3 being used extractively! https://github.com/minio/minio/commit/27742d469462e1561c776f88ca7a1f26816d69e2

check out how quickly #git-pages (and #grebedoc) can check out a giant git repository without any changes! if supported by the server, it retrieves only a single tree from git (no other branches, no tags, no history, no file contents), backfills it from the existing site contents, and then […]
