so I found some fun stuff to work on that requires assembling a kit :3

soldering iron tip is in a terrible state though, time to clean that mf properly - and I guess I still have some SnPb solder as a last resort...

fine, time to update the models & run image classification on my entire nextcloud gallery again to see if this improved

tempted to just submit a patch to CPython that renames datetime.datetime to datetime.Datetime (while keeping the former around as a deprecated thing for a few minor versions of course).

• Best case: they accept it and this annoying problem is finally solved
• Worst case: they don't accept it and I can point fingers saying CPython core devs are against making one of the worst stdlib names PEP-8 compatible 🤷

Writing another #JavaScript engine for fun and to learn #Ziglang, still very much work in progress but the code is open source now:

I never understood why an app store would show me anything with a rating < 3 stars - surely at that point the app should just be yeeted from the store, or ratings deleted if they are spam?

(Currently looking for a podcast player on Android, lmk which ones are good please :))

judging from license texts on the about screen on this thing 2023 is the year of linux on the kitchen machine

What's the current ability of screen readers interpreting ASCII emotes? I think many people prefer those over emoji faces but having them read out as "colon closing parenthesis" or "caret underscore caret" doesn't seem ideal and would make me reconsider using them as much as I currently do

git commit -m "bug fixes and performance improvements"

From a security standpoint these things are a nightmare (the entrypoint to 3ds firmware modding is a browser exploit lol) but the browser nerd in me loves seeing a functional webview on game consoles, kitchen appliances, etc well knowing it's probably based on a modified webkit from 10 years ago (maybe we'll see servo on those devices at some point!)

exhibit a: @domi's web page rendering perfectly on the 3ds \o/

code warnings should not exist, if it's bad enough to complain about it shouldn't compile

rustc didn't learn this lesson from c compilers, apparently

hot take: most CLI options don't need a one-character shorthand. Best case your command looks like alphabet soup, worst case it assigns unexpected functionality to -h and such

Please recommend me a #Peertube instance that has registrations enabled, isn't country-specific, and unlikely to shut down in the next year or two (for uploads, not primarily as a viewer)

I tried to sign up at tchncs.de but my account is not being approved (or rejected for that matter) 😕

Every time I look at CPython's Lib/ I'm confused how they let it become such a mess, stylistically - I get that a lot of it has grown organically over the years, but that's not what production grade Python code should look like 😬

I really need to rely less on my shell history and more on my wiki

I wasn't sure if I could get used to #ziglang's mixing of snake_case and camelCase (the latter is for functions and function pointers), but it's totally awesome 🤩

(I think this one is so unintuitive at first because in most other languages it screams inconsistency - e.g. some library not sticking to the default rules)

Following the whole libwebp vulnerability I'm a little perplexed that seemingly everyone is doing in-process image decoding?! In SerenityOS there's a system service called ImageDecoder, and its entire purpose is... decoding everyone's images. Data in, bitmap out. Only pledges stdio and recvfd/sendfd, so whatever exploit you have is probably useless. Trying to do anything forbidden, process gets killed by the kernel and restarted by SystemServer.

Surely this isn't a novel concept we invented?

neglected my desktop for a while and now it's refusing to upgrade from Fedora 36 to either 37 or 38 (failing on some dnf resolution nonsense) :thisisfine:

Hi! I'm about to prune profiles with blank avatar and profile description from my followers who sneaked in before I locked my account, this will affect 150 people. "Number goes up" is not why I'm here, I want to know who you are! Do feel free to update your profile and follow again :)

In case anyone else is interested in doing this, here's the Python script (Mastodon only, sorry!): https://gist.github.com/linusg/92405cf390e31f2bd1903e81fb4f7084
