I'd just commissioned this art for the third ESPionage adventure, MindGuard, when I had an epiphany to wrap the existing material with a Twin Peaks style investigation, pushing the titular militia off the cover.
It least I can use it as interior art.

Is it just me, or do finality phrases such as "We're done", "We're cooked", "We're over" seem to be way more commonly used in English than they used to be.

After an even higher spike today, the European natural gas price (wholesale) is now 64% higher than last Friday.

FYI you can use a steam iron or hand steamer to "re-inflate" collapsed PU foam, memory foam, etc. It's fuckin' witchcraft. Just did it on a mattress topper and may have saved myself €100 by dodging a replacement. Looky: https://youtu.be/5rndD6tzZPo

Another nice to have feature just dropped in #Sunstone browser, access to WebKit's built in Web Inspector. This is currently tied to the context menu that pops up when you right click on a web page.

I spent a few hours today rethinking the schema for the bookmarks database in #Sunstone . The result is better functionality in less code, which is hopefully a lot less brittle. This database is also going to be used for history, and it's tied in to parsing address bar queries, so it's definitely worth getting it right before going too much further.
Next steps are going to be d…

A 1999 Oklahoma newspaper clipping that described a man’s final moments before execution inspired Julie Green to begin their series “The Last Supper.”
“He asked for a final meal of three fried chicken thighs, 10 or 15 shrimp, tater tots with ketchup, two slices of pecan pie, strawberry ice cream, honey and biscuits and a Coke,” they read aloud in a short documentary about the series.
You can see 377 plates Green painted with these last meals at the Georgia Museum.

It feels obvious that llm's have no place in free and open source software. Apparently it isn't, at least not to everyone. I recently became interested in exploring the scope of the problem after finding out that both Vim and Neovim not only don't have policies banning llm contribution, but already contain fairly significant amounts of llm generated code.

Looking forward to read it!

I don't often go to the movies, but being able to share #projecthailmary with my wife and son was awesome. Some differences with the book, yes, but I didn't hate them. It had all of the same emotional impact as the book, and they kept the ending intact. Highly recommended.

My latest short story submission for "Doctor Vex Gets Her Revenge" has been 'Under Review' for over a week. There's no way to know if they're seriously considering it, or just putting off reading the slush.

If you don't want to let one of two US companies decide what software you install on your pocket computer, then you support women/children trafficking and CSAM, drugs, weapons, and terrorism. You should be ashamed!

I have very little to add to this story. The US Supreme Court just gutted the remnants of the Voting Rights Act.

So among the things that got seriously neglected when I started school were my blog and Gemini capsule. I've been trying to get a bit more active again with programming (hence the Sunstone project) but I also really miss writing. At least, I miss writing about what interests me, and not just writing endless essays and term papers about subject matter that only half the time really aligns with my interest.
But the blog was already kind of hard to maintain -before- I started school. …

Moved, sawed, and chopped wood until I could hardly lift my arms or stand. I guess that'll do for today.

The motherboard on my work desktop died, so I frankensteined together another using parts I pulled out of ewaste. Thanks to UrBackup I was able to restore the disk image without issue.
I'm surprised and grateful that worked.

There is a mass discussion on the Orange Website right now about the European implementation of mandatory digital ID and associated ban on the use of jailbroken or non-attested devices with the digital ID applications as well as Android's impending blockade on unsigned sideloading.

Days like today I miss Switzerland, I miss the people and scenery, and I miss having a six-figure, ideation-focused, two-hour-wine-lunch laptop job in a sensible, permissive country, far, far away from the Anglosphere.

A European solution to reducing bureaucratic deadlock would be to spin up an oversight office to review quarterly reports from the various agencies to ensure they are meeting a number of KPCIs that demonstrate that they are effectively reducing friction, and to summarize and present these findings on a biannual cadence to a working group of MEPs

My time is worth so little that I just spent 90 minutes resecting a very nice USB-C cable that was chewed mostly in half by a cat. She really seems to have a thing for the silicone sheathing!

I've renamed my web browser project from SWB to Sunstone.
The sunstone was a translucent mineral prized by Viking navigators because it had a natural property that polarized light, making it possible to see through the haze and find the sun on a hazy day - quite common in the North Atlantic. I liked the connection to a primitive navigation tool.

Now that's a fucking breaker

Lesson learned, don't let yourself get too confident riding. I went down this morning. I was going over some railroad tracks that are kinda rough and on a diagonal to the street, and the front wheel followed the groove. Happened too fast to react.
Luckily I wasn't going fast, only about 30mph. And I was geared up like always. I'm sore but not injured. My helmet clearly shows that without it my head would have taken a good bounce off the pavement.

We all gotta stop living in a society

I took a weekend today after pushing myself pretty hard the last 3 and especially yesterday. I now regret that. I slept well, felt fine when I woke up, didn't go do physical labor, and was bored, frustrated, and hungry all day.
People like me don't need breaks, we just need to work until we physically and mentally collapse, then recuperate. High speed, low drag, tailspin, crash, and phoenix.

A little work done on my web browser. I'm working on bookmarks, and instead of storing them in a text file like I originally planned I'm going to try out storing them in an sqlite database. Some of that infrastructure is in place. Bookmarks are going to be tag based rather than in folders, so you can tag a bookmark with multiple categories and it will show up in all of them. I think that's a better way of organizing them than the traditional folder view.

"Music is math" is as much of a load of horseshit as that abortive attempt to parley STEM into STEAM

I wonder how long it would take for OpenAI to collapse if everybody consistently used up their free token allotment every day, not even by engaging with the bot, just burning them out of pure spite with gibberish.

Just tried out the GrapheneOS duress PIN function. It briefly says "incorrect PIN," then continues running for a second (you can input another digit in that time), and suddenly powers off. When it is powered on again, it looks normal until the GrapheneOS logo is displayed, and then shows the below screen. Once you choose the "Factory data reset" option and confirm, the phone boots into the normal firstboot user enrollment flow.

Getting more and more burned out and tired of school. I'm way too far in to give up now, but man sometimes I just really hate spending so much of my free time on this. I really hate that so many of my CS courses seem to be geared around exactly the type of dictate development that I have zero interest in - using some bloated web framework that's basically a black box to implement a list of features for a commercial oriented app I'd have zero interest in using or working on in the…

Why does my ThinkPad's LCD gain contrast when plugged into power and desaturate when unplugged. KDE-Wayland 6.6.0.

Wi-Fi 7 APs apparently tend to IDLE - IDLE, not spec power - at 17-38 watts. That would be a minimum of €46-€103 *per unit, per year* in running costs for me.
Plugging in a cable remains undefeated.
