That red skirt I just mended with the little embroidered daisy? Welp, got it stuck on something and ripped the waist opening of it, didn't I. 😆 I don't have thread or a patching fabric that exactly matches so I went the scrap piece of fabric of a good weight and highly visible mending route. I'm thinking it's going to be either a colourful fern or a peacock feather, but bed calls me.

The US Navy equipped dolphins with cameras to study their unique underwater hunting abilities. The footage captured showed remarkable dolphin teamwork and precision in capturing fish, demonstrating the animals' incredible diving skills and adaptability in varied environments. This innovative research sheds light on how dolphins utilize their sonar and echolocation for hunting.

@EdenLinnea yeah. I mean hammering holes in things is never going to be a silent operation, but I've heard much quieter machines.
it's not designed for huuuge batch jobs, of course. I can run off a 30 page bug history for work whilst popping out for a coffee and nobody's bothered. I would like a better way of binding my paper, perhaps i'll ask for a binding machine as a christmas present.

It would be my luck to arrive at Best Buy though, only to be told that their fuse had blown and the store was opening later in the day instead. Had to go to Staples, where they tried to get me to sign up for their rewards program just to get store credit for the items I return. Not too worth it to me.
Back to work for the last 2 hours now.
Was echt prima wäre in Friendica/im Fediverse: Ein Verfallsdatum für Postings. Also nicht pauschal für alle, das gibt es ja schon, sondern dass ich bei jedem Post entscheiden kann, wie lange der online ist. Es sind ja nicht wenige Postings nach ein paar Wochen irrelevant, während andere noch nach Jahren interessant sein können.
yup, layoffs at the Mozilla Foundation 😢.

Good, talented people. Get them on your team now!
That's the worst! Decent refund policy at least?
I had to start temperature-checking food deliveries that were left out so I didn't use unsafe foods.
But if it gets this sort of thing wrong, I’m not convinced it is going to take over the world. If it does, we’re in trouble.

I'm on a social media fast, which is why you haven't heard much from me, but I did want to share one cool thing. Our stuff has been 8-bit RGB for a while, but it's increasingly clear that's not going to cut it in an HDR world. Inspired by bevy_color and some conversations, I've started a color crate: github.com/linebender/color
If you're into color, I'd love your feedback. If you use color in Rust, let me know whether this crate would be useful, or what might be changed.

So then I go and start reading some tutorials. They begin like so:
> For years Linux admins and users have configured their network interfaces in the same way. [...] The configuration was incredibly easy and never failed to work.

Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada
Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

Great guide by @vantablack that explains how to run your own 🏴☠️ radio using azuracast and mixxx on the Oracle free cloud tier:
vantablack.writeas.com/vantas-…
With the neat idea to use #ffmpeg through "yt-dlp --extract-audio" to "borrow" some cool audio fillers from one of thousands of video services supported.
Thanks to Vanta #azuracast and #mixxx

🏴☠️ VANTA'S GUIDE TO SETTING UP YOUR OWN INTERNET PIRATE RADIO STATION 🏴☠️
: "pirate" in the title refers to cheekily theming your station after the "yarr matey" swashbuckling type of piracy, NOT illegally broadcasting music. i swear (UPDATED: 1/16/2024) --- FOREWORD be gay, do crimes, and remember to...vantablack
Reminder:
Republicans changed the way votes are counted specifically to convince their voters that Democrats "stole" the 2020 election.
On Election Day, only the votes cast that day will be counted and it will look like Trump is winning by a lot.
Then, other kinds of votes will be counted, and Kamala will suddenly do better.
Be ready for it. Don't get depressed on Election Day.
It doesn't matter. I completely misjudged things. This was not like 2020 at all.

I first used an Index when I got access to Dolphin's Cipher Braille translator with Windows 95.
I've seen dozens in other places, but never owned one of my own outright until I started my new job in February and have a lovely Evreest DV5 in my home office now.

it's very freeing, to know I can take some reports off the screen and look through them somewhere quiet.
I do a lot of wordsearches on the thing, too
