I am also lying down with a migraine, fumbling with a phone in a dark room, and probably should be napping instead. Brain do dumb
“We just do not want the serial arsonist to do arson again like he did the last time we kicked him out of the fireworks store.”
Look, just what are you expecting to happen here ya fuckin brain genius?

@leopardboy yeah, so the muscle memory I’m getting is to just hammer the crap out of the house picture until new food pellets appear 🙃
@leopardboy ah, yeah, I never used tweetbot. Used the web UI for years and years like a savage
@leopardboy i think that’s my disconnect with it - it’s a great continuation for a lot of folks of a thing i never experienced. Like it’s good? But also awkward (for me) in ways that are cozy for others 🤷♂️
@randomgeek yeah, like inviting him back is a choice and not a neutral accidental event
@leopardboy yeah, that was my fave before ivory came out. Was kind of cycling between it and Toot! for awhile. Oh yeah and elk is neato
@akareilly well that just all sounds like a fun side project!
(oh wait i see, i’m odd one here. and also my pants are never finished.)
@sysop (swooning)
Well, migraine is a notch or two better, but also my understanding that I am horrible at naps has been renewed.
Like, I already knew this, but yeah. On the plus side, I stayed still enough to end up covered in cats at one point.
@401matthall @ifixcoinops FWIW, I started playing with a fediverse-flavored webring https://fediverse-webring-enthusiasts.glitch.me/profiles/lmorchard_hackers.town/index.html
Another long while since an Anchovy update, but: she’s doing pretty well, chilling in our spare bedroom.
We’ve started leaving the door open and the other cats have been making tentative visits, with only a little growling and hissing. Cosmo seems unexpectedly sweet & respectful, other than wanting to steal her special high-cal food.
Today she ventured into my office. And when I carried her downstairs to let her see the other cats eating, she got super excited by their dry food.
She’s missing a lot of teeth. She hadn’t been interested in dry food, and we’ve been trying to pump wet food into her. But, for some reason, Science Diet was her jam tonight and she ate almost 2 small bowls.
So, tl;dr: quite an adventurous day for a little cat
@nomad Absolutely have to remind myself of this constantly
17 computers a day! :bloblul: why, that’s practically anonymous!
You know, it’s criminal that CPAP machines aren’t also bedside alarm clocks
@stupidmentalhealthwalks Also, take care not to stomp all pouty-toddler-like the whole time on the stupid walk. I've done that before and it's bad on the knees.
So I was trying to debug why migrate down wasn't quite working right for a database in a side project. So I ran migrate down a few times.
Which, since I was zeroed-in on debugging the migration process itself, I forgot entirely that I was reverting my database back to the point of having no data in it. 😅
Brain do dumb, at least I had a backup
@danhon Thinking about this a bit, too.
Might get me yelled-at to mention it again, but I've been tinkering with a little bot that attaches to my Mastodon account's streaming API. It dumps all the posts from that firehose into a local SQLite DB. (Yes, I'm indexing toots for search in the privacy of my own home)
But now that I have all this stuff on my machine, I can throw different queries and collations at it to see stuff I otherwise missed. Like, you could do this within Mastodon, but this is just my slice.
Even with the angst around fediverse search, I wonder if there's an interesting future in personal clients that ingest & slice & dice all this stuff with personal algorithms? It could be packaged up usably for many folks
I used to do this sort of thing with RSS. Like, take all of the last 24 hours' posts and collate them around popularity of links mentioned. That used to yield a real nice daily briefing of trending stuff, just for me.
@jalefkowit In all my personal side projects lately, I've made a point of no build steps at all. I do pretty well with modern web stuff and a happy-go-lucky attitude. But sometimes it does feel like setting a cabin up in the woods.
@jalefkowit Yeah, on collab projects, I feel the strong pull of at least TypeScript and then the whole beast noses into the tent
@antijingoist I kinda hate to rely on it, but it has been super handy for building stuff with no local build
Setting up a new NAS on my LAN and looking through a list of other devices on my network.
Had a sudden future shock moment: My dishwasher in the kitchen and my car parked outside are on the network.
Like, I mean, I know, I put them on the network, but just.... my dishwasher and my car are on my network, maaaaaan. :blobmindblown:
(i might yoink that dishwasher off the network, though: little good has come from that so far)
@signal9 That seems both awesome and terrible
