It's annoying when you get that firefighter instinct "this place is about to collapse" about a website and you're already so fucking busy.

I really don't have time to try to archive this site before it implodes, so I gotta try to ignore all the signs while hoping someone else archives it.

(note that I didn't mention which site I'm talking about: this is on purpose)

I wonder if you could clone a FlashPath floppy disk emulator but as a PCB.
Youd need a hole in the middle for the spindle, but if you could keep the height down and do some magnetic coils at the right place, it could work?

With all the different microcontroller platforms out there, it's sometimes annoying because there's a solution that does exactly what you want but it's targeting some weird architecture that isn't what you use, or has suddenly become hard to find.

I think it's about time we organize all our open source microcontroller-based firmware around a simple, widely available, and powerful architecture, for consistency and interoperability.

The Intel 80486.

Maybe I can make a chonk workbench gotek emulator with this lcd

Been working a bit on a new project. Two actually! Because I can't be decisive.

I need to write some blog posts, but I've been enjoying just working on stuff quietly for now.

(Sorry for the delete+republish, I realized I'd forgotten the image descriptions!)

A 3d game prototype. A noisy, vignetted screen shows the inside of a very dark cave with stalactites hanging from the ceiling. On the right, an opening to the sunny outside is visible.
A screenshot of a pixel art video game. There is a green checkered board with two units on it. A hand of units is visible at the bottom of the screen, and a "card" is opened on the left describing a "Splitter" unit: "Split one incoming attack and redirect it both left and right. Does not move or attack."

I don't like to make a constant huge deal of it because the world concentrates too much on numbers and the baggage around them, and constant running totals are probably bad all up, but this morning I hit a 30kg weight loss.

Left, September 2023. Right, today. Also yes I am fifty something and my mother bought me a bun hoodie.

A photo of a nanoraptor looking a little bit more nano and a little less raptor too. Also I'm wearing a pink bun hoodie.

Apparently DoorDash has started filling in missing item descriptions by generating them with AI.

I'm sure this'll not cause ANY problems

I extracted all 5000+ frames (with a bunch of duplicates!) of Rambley The Raccoon from Indigo Park: Chapter 1.

I may have accidentally been paying for an unused VPS for, uh, 36 months.

I somehow managed to break Visual Studio so that it can't render text in source code.

Everything else seems to work fine, but if you click on a .cpp file, it just shows you a blank window.

I'm disappointed in how hacking works in real life. I'd played enough video games to have an idea how it would go, but I've been hacking games and hardware for like a decade now and not even once have I had to solve a pipe maze puzzle

The whole point of the "paperless office" wasn't to cut down on paper, exactly. It was misnamed.

It's actually a printerless office. If we can be paperless, we can finally be printerless.

I don't love that the "1.44" in "1.44 MB" floppy isn't actually either "Megabyte" or "Mebibyte", but rather it's 1.44 "thousand Kibibytes".

It's kinda depressing how tumblr is imploding now and I'm seeing half my follow list go "man, after seeing both twitter and tumblr do this, it's really showing how it's a bad idea for a social media network to be run by a company who can make arbitrary changes without user consent.

anyway, here's my bsky: ..."
