I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.

I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.

I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.

I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

Thread of stuff I wanna buy. Will "like" my own toot if I get it.

I'm gonna use this yhread as a way to keep track of links to read and like my own posts when I get around to them.

fucking hate how stores force me to use their shitty self checkout machined. Getting groceries is a humiliation ritual.

The lunar eclipse is so interesting. You can clearly see the moon is just a big ball floating in the sky.

slop dev 

Local model was acting more clueless than usual and after stepping away and having a snack I found out it was due to a bug in my harness that kept clearing it's context.

Remember kids: The fastest code is the code you never write.

This is the first genuinely operational littleFedi instance.

It has been online since 1st July, is single-user (just me), and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD, directly on its SD card.

It consumes just under 1W.

Its database is this size:

-rw------- 1 little wheel 109289472 Aug 26 15:14 littlefedi.db

That is, just a little over 100 MB. Yes, MB.

Its average CPU load is extremely low.

It is perfectly usable both from the web interface and from Mastodon API apps.

I have 179 followers and 169 followings, and it doesn't bat an eye.

I promise myself to use it more, and I will.

You don't need Big Tech to communicate with others.

You don't need an expensive data center to exist online.

Because we are people, and the bits are just extensions of our voice.

EDIT: littleFedi allows to transform posts into blog posts, having its own SSG (Static Site Generator). The one generated by this post is reachable by clicking here.

"Large/long-scale industry studies [of LLM use for programming] show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software. If ever we needed proof that software development isn’t a production process."

@argv_minus_one @murdoc @renardboy @KatyElphinstone my "party trick " back in the early 90's and while a sysop of a home BBS system was I could whistle the handshake of a 9600 band modem XD

They'd phone up, I'd answer get their handshake, I'd respond then they'd start transmission and I'd put the phone down XD

Kokofreakbean really lives up to their name. Really nothing like em out there.

Finding signal in a bunch of slop genned noise is a pain.

Remember kids: the best way to lie is to tell the truth!

Youtube search is such garbage lately. It's hard to actually get the videos for my search terms. And then harder to find something that's low effort and full of empty words. 🥲 Gotta publish my own blog post about it once I figure it out.

Snake food 

My ball python missed its initial strike on its food and now it's too nervous to acrually eat it 😭 Sensitive baby.

Anyone have tips for deobfuscators for app reversing / ?

This thing has like 8k randomly named files and it'd be nice if there was a way to zip them together more before I sic my LLM on em.

Pissed off at how many supposed "bone conduction" headsets are actually "air conduction". One I considered had the usual bone conduction design in the marketing but very obviously had shitty speaker grates in the customer review photos.

23. I've been meaning to get a fancier bone conducting headset for my setup. This one comes with a camera that I could feed into my local assistant! Better than the clunky wired cameras I have but never use. Goal would be to speed up note taking or scanning business cards or event photos.
