Folk who've been following me for a long time will remember that last autumn I was posting pictures of doing the joinery for a new workshop. And then I went mad, and got ill, and for most of this year there's been no progress.
But my friend Lucy has been here for a week, and between the two of us the frame is now erected. Now I need to sort the timber stack (which hasn't been improving while I've been ill), erect a roof, and build some walls. But the bit I couldn't …

How Trump and Musk made the Nepal disaster worse, by glaciologist dr Heïdi Sevestre:
"What about early warning systems?"
SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya, a joint initiative by NASA, USAID and ICIMOD monitoring, had mapped landslide and flood hazard in these valleys since 2010.
The Trump administration’s aid freeze cut it in January 2025."

I want to throw companies who force login via emailed timed codes over a bridge. If they only have a username/e-mail field without a password field ready right away, I want to light them on fire. If they offer the option to add TOTP 2FA but still do the previous two, I want to crush them in one of those things for compacting trash. Kickstarter would be a little burning cube falling from a bridge, incidentally.

A temporary pool pump, a replacement pump, some major menu changes, and the beginning of a project I’ve wanted to tackle for years: digitizing my old 8mm home movies.
The first reel dates from 1961 and includes my parents, my infant brother, and several other relatives. I’ve had these films since around 2000, so finally seeing what survived all those years—and seeing some family members who are no longer with us—was pretty special.

Sometimes I run into a bug and it takes me a solid hour or more to convince myself that it’s a bug. I do not want to believe that someone made such a mistake…
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2261 for example, has been “fixed” at least twice. but it’s still broken.

Had quite an adventure in hardware debugger land at @… Mesh Night, last night, but we managed to get the bootloader onto this board by way of a Pi Pico Zero and the debugprobe firmware (after failing to make the Tigard do what we needed—certainly our fault, not Tigard’s).
Fun little project. Really rewarding to see it work, despite being way out of our depth on …

#ScribesAndMakers Day 28: How satisfied are you with the creative work you've done this month?
I've finally made time for painting again, tiny miniatures and cats in acrylic. To someone with skill, it probably looks terrible but it's mine, and I'm proud.
I've failed utterly at the piano, but I am not giving up. Failing is a part of the process.
I'm…

I proposed a new feature for the next release of OpenAPI (which will be 3.3, in case you aren't following our every move): externalLinks is like externalDocs but you can have more than one link to an external resource. The field can be used at the top level of an OpenAPI description, and on each operation, schema and tag.
Proposal details: https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/pull/5467
