My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

The Uru music in the background helps, I think
Meanwhile I'm learning elliptic curve cryptography, while in the room next to me, boxes are being sorted and repacked to free up space, and somehow my focus isn't completely shot either??

The gender of the day is an angry gnome on a spaceship.
The street here is outright crowded today. Painters are still repainting the block, bird-blocking mesh installers were installing today, the garbage truck came to pick up the plastic waste, then there was a DPD delivery (mattress) and a DHL delivery (box) several hours later, *and then* the 'leaf collection parade' (tractor + massive vacuum cart + two guys with leafblowers directing leaves towards it) showed up. It's a miracle that there haven't been any conflicts today.
Lidl moment: a manual that's bigger in volume than the product it came with

Tech CEO: Revenue, profits and subscribers are at an all time high and we are incredibly optimistic about our new products, therefore, we have no choice but to let go 20% of our employees. I take full responsibility for these layoffs, which will have no negative financial impact on me.

@joepie91 Same. I've always been a print debugger. I know how to use breakpoint/step debuggers, but I find that in many cases, print debugging is significantly faster and easier. My main reason for breakpoints on lines/variables/events is to figure out what the heck is calling/changing it, and after that I usually add some more print statements.
One of my favourite extremely simple features of Perl is that a bare "warn();" will print the file and line number to stderr at runtime.

Today, I present to you this image that goes so well with Halloween.
I had no idea Konijn was doing this until I zoomed in on the picture 😹
So, enjoy a Draculating Konijn.

I love carving punkins
You do an Art with your friends
Nobody's really good at it
You share it briefly with your neighbours but it's by nature, ephemeral
It costs very little money; there's no way to monetize it
You don't have to justify it in terms of starting a new business or career
Baked punkin seeds are a great snack
The used punkin gets composted, there's approximately zero plastic involved and the worst thing you can say about it is that it's an inefficient use of a vegetable
@clarfonthey I (still) have very good experiences with PHP-Friends (note: unusual billing cycle), Afterburst and RAM Host. RamNode is also still decent. All have been around for years, with RAM Host having been around since at least 2009.
@pascaline Hmm, even naar gekeken, maar de makers lijken geen non-profit te zijn? Of begrijp ik je nu verkeerd?
The most effective tool in my debugging toolbox continues to be "log everything in sight to the console until something looks weird"

I am publishing a small #ActivityPub / #fediverse project: https://fietkau.software/webfinger_canary and @canary 🙂
It is a tiny bot showcasing a split-domain WebFinger setup, where the handle domain is different from the ActivityPub server domain. This is supported by Mastodon and some other ActivityPub implementations, but not all of them.
So this project, aimed at devs and power users, is part test case, part feature recommendation/advocacy. The bot's website at https://correct.webfinger-canary.fietkau.software/ has all the details.
