Just an FYI, I did not get hacked. I replied to somebody with a long CW that originated from the Georgia Humane Society as a joke apparently. When you reply to a post with a CW your post automatically has that CW, too.
That made it look like I was posting a singles ad from my account.
I've deleted my post just in case anyone got the wrong impression.
It's been almost a decade since I've done a live coding stream. This will be fun!
Today I'll be migrating my website from React to Lit, which is a lightweight framework built around web components. I have the scaffolding set up mostly, so now it's time to get this done.
Come watch. Ask questions in chat! You don't need to create an account, just a username is needed to participate.
Ah ha! I figured out why I was having issues with the rollup tool previously. Once I got past that stubborn error, the rest of the comfort was pretty easy.
I think I'll be able to do that technical stream tomorrow. The web page redesign project is a go!
Ok, we're set for a techie stream after lunch. This is different from my normal gaming streams. I won't do a whole lot of talking and will have some copyright-free music playing in the background. Come join me in my adventures in neovim!
Today in Dwarf Fortress: The Sinister Start in the Plane of Myth, were gonna stream the setting up of some tree and obsidian farms.
My next goal is to get a cheap and easy supply of wood going for my fort. Wandering outside is too risky due to the smelly goo threatening to send my fortress into a tantrum spiral. So we're heading underground to set up a tree farm. It's a real pain to set this up but it will be worth it.
Today on Dwarf Fortress: The Sinister Start in the Plane of Myth, my citizens has a sad! 😢
I keep sending them outside to build the outside fort and they are getting fed up. But not to worry, I finished the roof so now they con complete their work in a smelly goo-free environment. Or, at least until I decide to build the fishing hut.
I'm still on the call with the group troubleshooting this thing. We're finding out who we need to page but we also have to give them the correct information when we page them so yeah this is going to take a while. 😭
I'll probably have to resume the stream tomorrow morning. I don't think I'll be free from this anytime soon.
The call ended a bit after my last post, but we had dinner and watched some RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 9. This is going to be a fun season.
Now, I'm tired. I made the bed and I think I'm going to lie in it pretty soon.
This weekend I'm going to shoot for having the long-awaited technical stream. I need to create a build script for my web dev project so I have to figure that out. Then, I can start writing the front end code. ♥️
I'm engaging in the kind of procrastination today where there's this important thing I should be doing, but instead I'm doing a bunch of smaller, slightly less important tasks instead.
Today on Dwarf Fortress: The Sinister Start in the Plane of Myth, we hit magma! We're producing green glass and are working towards kicking off our steel industry. Just in time, too, because we're now a County and the Count wants fancy rooms! I hope he likes steel walls.
We're upgrading our fortress defenses and will be building an above-ground fort pretty soon, provided the smelly goo doesn't drive everyone mad!
So, I don't know if this works for everyone, but this might be useful if you have noticed (like myself) how time passes faster and faster the older you get, as if fate wasn't cruel enough.
One simple trick: think in terms of what calendar year things happened rather than how old you were.
It's not perfect but it's better to have that "2020 seemed so long ago" feeling than it is to have that "WTF happened to my forties!?" dread.

In the old days, I would walk to a colleague's office to ask for help, formulating the question on the way. On reaching their office, they would look up and I'd say, "Never mind. I've got it now."
Today on Dwarf Fortress: the Sinister Start in the Plane of Myth: we found magma! And also we have a Hillocks? Our Baron is nice and settled in and I'm making room for the eventual monarch and the unceasing waves of migrants. Lots going on in this world of smelly goo!
We're kind of ignoring petitions for now so no guild halls or specialized temples until we get our furnaces up and running.
The announcement that NetBSD is banning AI generated code is a noble gesture and all, but the main problem, as always, is detection. If everyone is acting in good faith, then all is well. But if someone generated code using Copilot then it may not be easily distinguishable from hand-written code. It's not like code has a watermark or anything like that. It's text.
I fear that this might end up with people getting falsely accused of submitting AI code. How does one prove their innocence?
