#lazyweb question: Do either #firefox or #chrome have a way to display open tabs in a grid as mini windows?

On desktop that is... on mobile all web browsersdo it automatically! As shown in this screenshots of firefox.

FWIW I'm asking because I've been told this interface is very useful for someone with ADHD to keep on top of their tabalanche.

git push to any type of #gitAnnex special remote now implemented, and you can even git clone from a special remote!

Thanks to @mih for the idea.

This rainy week has been challenging for #offgrid baking, it takes 25% of my battery to bake a #sourdough loaf, but I've managed to make 2. This one ran the battery down to 9%. #solarpunk

Long time ago, I remember my dad setting off in the dusk, driving north out of Tennessee to Virginia on country roads, toward the mountain, intently looking North to the horizon in hopes of catching an #aurora this far south. I don't think he saw it.

Just back from my own drive (to the same mountain range), where I saw ... a hint of pinkness to the sky. A faint vertical line. One or twice, a flicker of movement.

Not enough, but something. Tempted to drive to Dayton tomorrow.. looking North.

#starlink sky train passing overhead at 9:30 here, looks perfect viewing opportunity if the clouds cooperate

also, if the solar storm does deorbit any, it will be those same just-launched ones

after spending 3 days translating a shell script to haskell and integrating it into #gitAnnex, it didn't work the 1st try

but it did work after a single bug fix!

This raises an interesting question. If a GPDR request to delete personal data causes a removal of attribution required by a license, does that nuke the material too, despite it not being personal data itself

It's an appealing line of thought in the stackoverflow case, but not so much if I consider a GPDR request against say, Debian to remove all my contributions. I should not be able to retroactively destroy Debian.

Anyone have insight on the legalities?

How is there another git command I've never even heard of lol.

Here's a big #offgrid site: 5 megawatts of solar (plans for 25, think 100 acres of panels), with 3 megawatts of batteries, to charge EVs and electric semi trucks (at 1.2 megawatts).

It's wild that this is (apparently) economical now. There are surely better arbitrage opportunities with a grid connection, to charge the batteries from the grid and sell back to the grid as well as selling EV fast charges.
But interconnection lag be damned, we need this now.

joeyh, 14 days ago to haskell

Last week I prototyped a git remote helper in a shell script, and now I'm rewriting that in #haskell as part of #gitAnnex.

I don't do this often and I wonder if it was a mistake, probably I should have written the prototype in haskell and then integrated it into git-annex. It's kind of amazing how a lot of complexity is melting away and also how I'm adding So Many Types and also throwing in a lot of robustness improvements.

Shout out to the scammers who have a fake SpaceX youtube stream of the Boeing #starliner launch. Deepfake Elon scamming for bitcoin and dodgecoin has 100,000 (apparent) viewers to NASA's 19,000.
