Back after giving myself a month away from Fedi.
I'll attempt to curate my experience much more, starting with this account and instance.
I want comfy things in my life - I don't need to be adding stress and angst from my online interactions. We can do better. We should do better. Including myself.
My interests cover #tech, #photography, #biking, #motorsport, #fountainpen, and other things I will no doubt need to add here when I remember.
I touch computers in my spare time and self host things. Oh yeah so #selfhosting I guess.
In my other spare time I renovate my house and do #DIY stuff.
Oh and I (used to?) play music. #Guitar I still have and sometimes play, #Saxophone I used to have a couple of decades ago, I had 6 months of Drum lessons, and played Bass for our school band in Rockquest in the late 90's.
I have never done anything that cool since.
Oh I live in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

now that it's almost 2026, let's rename "lead-free solder" to "normal solder" because cmon it handles just fine and we should really try to put lead in fewer things

Daojoan@mastodon.socialNo one writes documentation. No one reads documentation. Everyone complains about lack of documentation. The equilibrium is mutual suffering. But sure, your startup is going to solve documentation.

alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.comThis is the most punk thing I've ever heard of. This guy got his physics phd then proceeded to use it to create open source plans for everything you need to start a civilization.
Definitely going in my digital apocalypse kit (wait, you don't have one?!), and this guy is now one of my heroes.

ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyzWell, @virtuosew is at it again:

Quoting:
"The point of #sketching isn't to produce a finished piece. It's to capture a memory, a feeling, a fragment.
"Don't ask, "Is it good?". Instead, ask "Did I enjoy doing it? Did I manage to be there, in one place, paying attention? Does it remind me of something? “
"Good comes with practice, practice is pleasanter if you stop trying to be good!"

lattera@bsd.networkI really wish Electron wasn't a thing. Second time attempting to build it on a particular system. The build timed out after 72 hours.
Like, what are we doing when a stupid web framework takes so many resources to just compile?
For reference, I can build HardenedBSD's userland and kernel in less than two hours on the same system.
An entire OS builds faster by several multitudes than this stupid web framework bullcrap.
