Why, yes, I *did* stay up until 5 AM watching a #homestuck readaloud thing on YouTube. Why do you ask?

Also tried to set up scdl but python was having some sort of problems with LibreSSL so that didn't work out. Honestly, CLI tools should make a point to have binary downloads for each platform.

Got fed up with iOS and how much trouble my partner was going through trying to get music on their phone.

Ended up buying them an MP3 player with a 16 GB SD card and showing them how to download stuff from the internet.

I had to go to like 5 stores before I found one that had one, and it was just a single model. 🙃

This is what I want my computing setup to be like. A big mess of crunchy colorful graphics all around me.

How hard is it to add a replica to even a subset of the #InternetArchive or to get ones own "Internet in a box" deployment going? Like, price wise and access to data wise.

Do I need to budget for a petabyte or two of storage? Does it necessitate an entire datacenter?

One of my hobbies is collecting Github Organizations that I'm a part of. :P

TIL about FEP-c390, an "Identity Proof" spec for #ActivityPub

This could be a way to bridge things like the #DID spec with AP accounts.

This reasoning is solely because their mascot is a bird of some sort smoking a fat blunt.

TIL about calkey!

Low key thinking about switching to it from Mastodon. :x

Tried to help my partner load some MP3s onto their iPhone recently. Apparently they literally prevent you from doing that outside of using iTunes or a streaming app of some sort? Hate this hellworld.

The amount of shit I have to go through to get Google Calendar to work isn't anywhere near worth the utility it provides.

Seriously, I jump through all these hoops and generate all the app passwords and all that and it just gives me opaque errors.

This article about how the trackpads on the #SteamDeck make a huge difference in usability in Desktop Mode is spot on.

I think after that, the built in tools for creating key bindings are unmatched by anything else out there.

Got productive an hour earlier than usual today. :P Feels weird to be off by one in the other direction for once.

This week is going to be focusing on roadmapping #DistributedPress and the #ActivityPub integration there, and testing the #WARC file chunking for #IPFS in @webrecorder

In case you weren't already aware of it, here's a link to the #p2p #database chat we've got on Matrix. Mostly talking about stuff related to #ProllyTrees

I think if the fediverse can evolve past "home servers" and enable folks to be part of several "groups" at once it'd lead to some interesting ways of discovering community and overlapping between social spheres.

here's a repository with my current scripts for nerd-dictation.

https://github.com/RangerMauve/mauve-dictation/blob/default/nerd-dictation.py

I'm using this on my #steamdeck via the steam dictation module.

I'm about to introduce the concept of different typing modes so I can dictate individual characters and camel case variables and stuff
