@neuralreckoning @jonny Are your adventures documented anywhere? This has been on my mind (ha ha) a loy lately too. Mostly thinking 3d spatial and using the third dimenaion for time with layers interlinked in stacks. Then moving it around to see the connections better with your hands

Minnesota enacts right-to-repair law that covers more devices than any other state
Just one state demanding free repair manuals could benefit all fixers.
@PostMasterGeneral Hell yeah. I find Chipmunks are the most brazen of city animals. Followed by squirrels. Birds are typically way harder
@nilix I think ssh over websocket is actually pretty common already. :o IMO that adds way more overhead than is strictly necessary, though. I think one could potentially get a shell working with cURL in bash with plain HTTP with the approach I have in mind. :P
@c373099c3dec7dfc7089b081f3fc63451fb4f9b2d25b5806938b7581722bff44@mostr.pub Yo! Inter-protocol federation is neat. :)
Low key want to make an SSH over HTTP request thing.
Like, you open up an HTTP request and the server registers a TTY for it, then you keep the connection open and send data between the two ends.

talking to a buddy about this hobby he picked up, and i asked if there are specific youtube channels he follows for information or whatever.
and he said that honestly what he's learning a lot from are Discord servers. and god it makes me uneasy that those are increasingly becoming our repositories of specialized information.
i miss web pages so fucking much, lxds.

In the retro gaming community, we don't say goodbye; we say "emu later". And I think that's beautiful.

I cannot get this updated US risk map out of my mind.
In the last 6 months, half the US states have escalated anti-LGBTQ legislation to such a point that many—especially trans people—are in active danger. Florida has been designated a “don’t travel” state by Equality Florida. The NAACP also issued a no travel warning to FL for overlapping reasons, including the erasure of Black history.
This piece by Erin Reed details the information found in the maps: https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/may-anti-trans-legislative-risk-map
One of the fun bits of using #STT as one of my main input methods is that I need to pronounce stuff weird sometimes to get it to understand me when similar sounding words are involved.
For example, I need to pronounce "git" like "jit" so it doesn't mistake it for "gift".
Honestly English isn't a great language for this use case. :P
Still need to find time to add code for dictating the NATO phonetic alphabet for more fine grained control.
@Skipper@octodon.social Cool ty, I actually have a setup for text editing that works for me with nano. Micro is super cool and I actually used it for a while years ago but nano was installed by default on most vms and I was too lazy to set up a new editor each time. :P

PSA, if someone asks you for contact info (e.g. a phone number) of someone you know, the correct response is "I can't give that to you, but I can give them yours".
It's efficient and adds no round-trips, it's privacy friendly, it's non-awkward and it's social engineering resistant. It's a universally good rule.
And the corollary, of course: Don't ask someone for another person's contact info - ask them to pass on yours.
I really do want to use my library's resources but their ebook borrowing requires an app that's not available on web or linux in order to support the adobe DRM crap.
honestly easier to borrow a physical book and then get a digital copy elsewhere. 😅
It's probably easier if you're not a weirdo hacker type.
I think I'm I just need to spend some time to set up my keyboard bindings the way I did for nano
