Catsby’s getting some personal meal service with this extra stinky high-calorie food. But, at least he’s eating if he thinks it’s a treat. Vet seems to think it’s irritable bowel 😣

@mos_8502 @RonsCompVids I'm picturing one good solid punch and a "there, I fixed it"

@adam For things like plywood and lumber, I keep eyeing up trailers for the cargo e-bike I've got. But, I haven't tried taking the plunge yet. Also grocery shopping in snow or rain is miserable because I don't have the right gear yet. Beyond that, it's really neat to bike to just about anything I need

one of my favorite songs just came on this streaming station just before a meeting and now I want to be late

@alicetragedy @whalecoiner You know, I kinda wish there was more of a tradition round here of like temporarily camping out on different instances. Like when a new villager comes to the island in a tent in Animal Crossing. It shouldn't be that big a deal to hop around a bit and see what's what.

@bitprophet @joshourisman is this like milk steak?

@bitprophet @joshourisman It's an "Always Sunny" thing - steak boiled in milk, topped with jelly beans. But also, like, "do not cook a kid in its mother’s milk" and all that

The year is 2035. Humans still shitpost, in ever complexifying baroque schemes of shibboleth and steganography to foil & poison autonomous LLM training spiders that roam the net.

There've been rumors, though, of a new kind of scraper - an unholy cyborg union of human shitposter merged with a neuralink botnet. Even they don't know they're working for the machines.

Unhinged Gen Alphas can usually sniff out their cringe. But, not always. It only takes one to slip through and strip mine an entire private Discord for memes. Every time it happens, the machines improve and we fall behind.

(cue The Terminator theme)

something, something... John Connor using the internet archive wayback machine, using old open source LLMs to generate cringe to battle the latest models, yadda yadda yadda

@thomasfuchs @mos_8502 You probably want to set an alias to always enable the --pentametric option, though. Otherwise, your inodes can get prefabulated after a few runs

This is Apple

@logoninternet blosxom is pretty much why, to this day, I still end up (re)writing my own blog engine that runs off flat files. (with an occasional dip into wordpress, but maybe less of that going forward)

Lot of folks seem to think Jekyll started the static site blog generator thing, but they've never seen Movable Type or blosxom

Also lots of folks seem to think static site generation is "new" and never heard of Aaron Swartz (RIP), who wrote "Bake, Don't Fry" back in 2002 http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/000404

Also, many days I miss using @davew's Radio UserLand, which featured static site generation of a blog composed using an outliner.

Also also, many blessings upon whomever keeps aaronsw.com running on the web.

@wohali @janl I only met him a few times, but I refer to his work all the time

Thinking about blogging more (yet again) and have collected some notes & topics in Obsidian. Catching myself wishing I could write my blog with Obsidian.

Er... wait. My blog is a miserable pile of markdown. I could write my blog with Obsidian :thinkhappy:​

I think I've tried Obsidian to manage my blog as a vaiut before. Main problem I ran into is managing images along with posts?

The convention I've started using for each post is a YYYY-MM-DD-slug directory with index.md and then all associated images and such dumped in alongside. I want to say Obsidian screwed up the relative paths?

dumb shower thought: static blog with encrypted posts that unscramble client-side if the user solves a captcha

@hotdogsladies The "before" looks kind of "artisanal"!

I watch a lot of DJs on Twitch - and a lot of times I think all those buttons & knobs they're tweaking do nothing. But, I've never been a DJ - so I also know nothing.

@Alairthephoenix "Drink your Ovaltine"

@allenstenhaus I was going to say maybe use a screen-reader question like "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like... what?" - except ChatGPT managed to answer that one :blobugh:

@ceejbot I've seen some DJs who do mashups and they're clearly (and audibly) busy, so I can see that. Have also seen others do beat matching and even show some waveforms on the stream as they scrub things around. Also watch a few vinyl-only DJs who can drop right into a track, which seems amazing.

@ceejbot (so I guess more emphasis on the "I know nothing" than the "the knobs do nothing" part :blobsweat:)
