@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me Sounds great! I'll keep an eye on that; looks like we're in the same space, there. [Syscat](https://www.sysc.at/display/Wikipages/Welcome) is my baby. Its source is on Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/Equill/syscat/) and I finally remembered to make sure my contact details are on the main site. I've just added a ticket on Codeberg, to remind myself to come back to this after my current batch of work.

Attached: 1 image I hate this song with the fiery passion of a million suns and this is the first and only thing that has made me consider it in a new and exciting way. I still despise it, but I will now supplant this reality atop it whenever I hear that cursed song. #WonderfulChristmastime #ITrulyDoHateItTheMostOutOfEveryXmasSong #CursedChristmas #Christmas #Song #Satanic #ThisSongMadeMeHatePaulMcCartney #horror @horror@a.gup.pe #Witches #MotherSuspiriasMorningMeme

Despite not seeking it out, I wake up to hate speech, I stumble upon hate speech all day, I go to bed after looking at hate speech that I’m too exhausted to process. Then I have a nightmare. Every day. Over and over. When I tell people this, their advice is that I should exclude myself from things and spaces and pretend it’s not happening. I should “just” get a different job. This is not good advice and only further isolates me from even the people who aren’t spewing outright hatred about us.

Attached: 1 image Is anyone aware of a #markup #language for #InteriorDesign? I read this great article (https://luke.hsiao.dev/blog/housing-documentation/) on writing technical documentation for your house, and I'm building a #Hugo template for just this. I'd love to also document my home's room dimensions, where the outlets are, etc. so I can (a) make simple 3D models (b) create a clickable SVG (c) extract dimensions easily (for determining if new furniture/wallhangings will fit). Any ideas? I'll probably end up bodging my own together…

Attached: 2 images Given we now know governments are spying on people using encrypted messaging through #notifications (to get data or metadata, based on what the specific service sends), the “turn on notifications” prompt in #Signal not having a “no” option but stating “we’ll remind you again later” and continuing to prompt you at regular intervals is now less of a dark pattern to increase usage and more of a #security issue that should be fixed right away. https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/governments-spying-apple-google-users-through-push-notifications-us-senator-2023-12-06/ CC @Mer__edith@mastodon.world

A little unconventional #coding #tip: Always copy and paste code. At least at first. Don’t overthink it. And: Don’t start refactoring right away. Why? Because you might think you’re creating almost similar behaviour but you don’t know that really until you actually customise what you pasted. Refractoring based on the assumption of redundancy instead of the fact of it is premature refactoring. Once you’ve specialised your pasted code, then look for redundancy and then refactor. #dev

As someone with Palestinian and Jewish friends of varying political persuasions, right now I see that all of them are hurting. They are traumatized by historical, recent, and ongoing violence, and at the same time they are coping with a rising tide of bigotry. I'm not sure I've got the right takes, and indeed I am constantly evolving in my understanding and views. But I promise I will never stand idly by when you and your community are suffering injustice.

I'm anti-war because the more I learn about history, the more it's clear that wars have a legacy that extends for decades or centuries beyond when they officially end. And I don't mean only the lives lost. The propaganda drives people insane and clouds their vision for decades. All of the things people "had" to do to "win" end up bringing about unintended and unanticipated consequences that never really disappear from society. The madness incites more madness.

told my manager I needed to take a half day for my knee again making conversation, she said she didn’t realize it was that bad and asked what kind of accident I got into “my 30s. the traumatic event was entering my 30s.” 😂🫠

I was talking to some folks who had to talk me off the idea of a hiring blacklist. It's not like there's been a complete wall: warm referrals still make it. But cold applications? I might as well have a name on some nginx bad bot list with the turn around time for rejections. And I wasn't the only one (similarly aged folks with more contracting backgrounds, different ethnic and national backgrounds) feeling it. It doesn't shake off the sharpness of the lack of income nor the numbness of feeling more than incapable of taking care of oneself. Like I'm more scared than I expected of catching COVID or having some life event that I can't even begin to afford. If employment is so tied to one's ability to take care of themselves, how are we not all living in a feudal state? The social net is of different sizes - if it exists where you live - Florida's unemployment services (aka reemployment support, their words) do more to drill and shame than to support and direct.

Oh this is why people were talking about morality and tech, lol https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/08/hashicorp_openbao_fork/ Tbh lol, y'all might not like this, but it doesn't fucking matter. If the fork's not community-run, it's nothing more than a "revenue measuring" contest between two tech CEOs over adoption (because big adopters acquire a lot and accelerate adoption - look at the virus of VS Code despite the vacuum of desktop alternatives people don't have to mention in their dotfiles). The Linux Foundation has (more or less) transformed into the perfect example of Commercial Open Source (open for you, plenty of funds for me but not non-corporate maintainers hahaha sike) extension of Microsoft (personal viewpoint) so even them taking in Terraform will be icky. But then again, it's not like we got coops fabricating chips so it's the best we fucking got.
