He was only here for a few months, january feels far off but isnt.
That's still nearly 200 mornings together, though. that sort of stuff imprints. I hate how the cute fluffy things get into your heart. I am sad this evening.
After many years away from the stage, I am back! It looks like I’m accepted to give a talk at the Matrix Conference (2024.matrix.org/) to present ✨ native simplified sliding sync ✨: how it differs from the first version of sliding sync (an experimental project implemented inside a proxy), how we’ve implemented it inside the Matrix Rust SDK etc. Gonna be fun!

A short story of a question turned into a new pending #curl feature:

How to Request rate limiting with fraction/custom time unit? · curl curl · Discussion #14242

Genuinely curious about what the Fediverse thinks about this specific issue.
Do you think it’s important to have a free desktop (and mobile) environment, and if yes why?

Goodness. I just need to fill my house with speakers. So when I'm in the shower, I can listen to my books. When I'm in bed, I can listen to my books. When I'm eating, I can listen to my books. When I'm leaving to go to work, I can listen to the last few words of my books. And then I need one in my head so I can always be listening to my books. And when I'm dreaming, lol, I can still follow the plot of my books.

it really depends on if the hinge is up to the task.
my dell xps 13 hinge is wobbly when i touch it and it makes using it as a touch screen less pleasant.
gnome touch gestures are nice, itd be interesting to see it on a tablet.
Hey: if you're in the tiny group of folks who generated a GPG key pair a few years back on an airgapped system, copied it to a paper backup, generated & signed subkeys that you migrated to machines you use daily: today is a great day to not just check on the continued existence of your paper backup but also to test restoring it to your airgapped machine and making sure it works.
There's no quiet story in the background of infosec masto prompting this reminder. It's just a good day for it.
good lord. I pulled a microSD card out of a Raspi inside an IoT product and it appears they had some developer use a raspi to develop/test some software, and then they just yanked the SD card out of that machine and duped it on to all of their deployed products.
it's got .bash_history of the development process! there's git checkouts of private repos! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

Among the things that I realised, this year is that I need to try to find more time to organise myself among some groups around the place where I live.
It is cool to be an activist in Spain, doing things in Spanish like texts or videos or whatever. But I need to be more involved within the communities I am surrounded by.
I tried to find some affinity groups between January and May but my mental health pushed me back last year and I've been recovering since then.
So, just in case there are people on the fediverse to whom it can reach:
I'm Andrew, a they/them person from Spain currently based in Cymru/Wales or, in other words, the Aberystwyth area.
I am interested in queer theories, intersectional feminism and anarchy communism.
I really would like to meet people with similar interests, but I am not really good at socialising. ❤ kisses and hugs.
A frustrating part of bylaw #3 discussion is that a larger part of the discussion wasn’t about the bylaw, but a relitigation of whether the Python community should have an enforced CoC and whether it should be cool to call women sluts because there was a hilarious SNL skit in the 1970s.
It feels like it should be obvious, but again for those in the back: if you want a community to grow, the behavioral standards and expectations regress to the biggest common denominator. (1/8)
But you literally can’t have a growing community behaving like a dozen of dudes in an IRC channel. The solution isn’t to be a jerk to people giving their best to continue Python’s success, but simply to form smaller communities with the necessary trust and context.
I’m a different person in a private chat channel or when meeting Python friends, too! This is like the most sociology 101 ever. (4/8)
an old libcurl answer of mine on stackoverflow being questioned because I did not provide links to back up my statement when answering questions about code I wrote...

(but yeah, I have stopped answering questions over there)
Persistent connection with libcurl
The following is from the libcurl homepage: curl and libcurl have excellent support for persistent connections when transferring several files from the same server. Curl will attempt to reuseStack Overflow
This reminds me of a "discussion" over at the dark side (twitter), as Grady Booch replied to a post of Elmo that he has no idea of software engineering. Shortly after a fanboy ask Grady what he has ever done for software engineering and he thinks Grady has no clue.
That was popcorn time 😁
Allow us to introduce you to Mike, our potential mascot. He made his debut last year at #FOSDEM, but never made an appearance since. What do you think, should we embrace him into our family? Let us know in the poll!

It immediately reminded me of Cl***y, even before I read any comment. That is, not really good memories.
As long as it comes hidden behind a content warning, I guess I can live with it.
I don't mean to be harsh or devaluate the work done here, so I'll try to be more specific. The combo metallic-object-that-sit-on-a-desktop with eyeballs-that-stare-at-you-all-day under those exageratingly-friendly-eyebrowns, it reminds me of office work, management, and surveillance.

the ocsp fetcher on seirdy.one has problems now. i need to switch to a proper ocsp fetcher to complete my “I can’t believe it’s not Caddy™” setup. Disabled OCSP Stapling in the meantime.
using shell scripts for ocsp stapling file refreshing is bad for puppy.

I see a joke template.
"As someone fascinated by infant baptism, The Godfather (1972) was a real disappointment. How would you like it if I took you to see a film called 'Sicilian New Yorkers Murdering One Another' and it was just an hour and a half of people promising to bring up a child as a Christian"

PSA: when a company has a sudden disaster and then you hear on the socials “the CEO sold stock two days before it happened!” or whatever, almost every single time, that’s because the CEO sells stock on a preannounced, fixed, repeating schedule, which is specifically to avoid insider information influencing the decision when and whether to sell. And if you’re selling on a fixed, repeating schedule, then there will always be one that happens to have been not too long before any given disaster.
I’m not saying that the illegal version of this never happens, I’m saying it doesn’t happen quite as often as people posting this stuff in a scandalized tone think it does. I mean, what, do you think the C-suite of Crowdstrike were pre-informed that they were gonna accidentally crash their own product and decided to offload some of their stock instead of stop the push to production?
I thought being a programmer was a waste of effort, a thankless job that would never make a difference.
Then #CrowdStrike showed me that with a single line of code, I can make the world a better place.

Herr Neffton zum Globalen Süden:
"Der #CO2-Ausstoß würde sich vervierfachen, wenn Sie so leben würden, wie die!" "Ach ja, also, weil die nicht aufhören wollen, darf der Globale Süden erst gar nicht anfangen, oder was? Ja, aber eine Grundversorgung wäre schön: Strom, sauberes Wasser, so was ..."
Im Globalen Süden leben 80% aller Menschen weltweit.
Weite Teile würden unbewohnbar, wenn die #Erderwärmung weiterhin so zunimmt, wie derzeit - betroffen wären rund 3,3 Milliarden Menschen!
