@aral I'm looking to move off of wordpress and was looking at Kitten.

The amount of documentation is truly impressive.

Would I be right in assuming kitten could take the place of wordpress (if i export all pages / posts to a plain text format)

@david Thanks. Appreciate it + apologies for the hassle.

PS. Which OS are you running?

aral,
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@david So not Kitten related? Or is there still a chance Kitten might be involved?

aral,
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@david Just installed tmux and vim and tried to recreate but couldn’t. If you run into it again and manage to narrow it down, please let me know. My gut tells me it’s not Kitten related though :)

@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@david Aha! I do try very hard to detect sixel support and fall back to displaying an emoji cat instead but, clearly, not hard enough :) Which terminal were you using when you had the issue?

(And thanks for narrowing it down; appreciate it.) :)

aral,
@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

@david I’ll do a round of testing with different terminals today then. Planning on a day of fixing dangling odds and ends before starting a round of new dev next week so it works :)

@david Sadly, I can’t reproduce in Kitty (version 0.31.0), in Kitty + tmux (version next 3.4), and even in Kitten + tmux + split 50/50 + kitten running in :ter in vim (verson 9.1.393) :(

(They all fall back to showing the kitten emoji instead of the sixel. Running on latest Fedora Silverblue, in case OS is having some impact somehow.)

@david (Will keep an eye out and try other terminals also in case I can reproduce it.)

Another large language model scraper blocked. This graph is from a site which runs a tool generating answers for people doing important research work. The AI scraper sent hundreds of thousands of lookup requests evading rate limits by using about a thousand IPs and pinned multiple webservers at 100% CPU (graph from one attached). This is a massive waste of electricity to train a hallucination machine.

Asking for some good juju. You all came through for me the last time I needed it.

I have my first surgery scheduled for tomorrow and another on Friday.

Please send good vibes and calm. I’m worried about my students who will be without the stability of my classroom for an entire week.

@Saltssaltgirl Sending you lots of love from across the seas. Hope you’re back on your feet in no time at all 💕

Hi @potus why aren't you moving to an own instance? Or to a non instance?

@janvlug @potus Sorry, POTUS is busy funding and arming a genocide. Your call is important to us…

So Apple destroys pianos with a hydraulic press, Microsoft invents TotalSurveillance™️ and Google tells us to put glue in our pizza and eat at least one rock a day.

Maybe it’s time for an update to

@cbecker Would be nice. I’ll let you know if we ever get a euro cent of public money for the public work we do.
