Experimenting with "shorts". Basically I am just making a 1:1 less than standard-def version if the bit is too short to merit a full video. I think this works alright.

PeerTube still gets the original 4:3 version, but I have to take some minimal effort to reduce the black-boxes for people scrolling through YouTube shorts.

The Nintendo Wii was a multiseat desktop environment featuring an exclusive fullscreen setup. Years ahead of modern desktop computing. Why can't I have 4 little colorful mouse pointers and fight over the UI with my friends?

How to Burrito an Owl

A guide by Barn Owl Trust shows how to wrap owls like burritos so they can more easily be examined, treated and fed by a wildlife carer.

In the early 90s, safeguarding concerns were used to push young people out of queer community. There were occasional youth groups, but in general, most adult queers were frightened to talk to people 12-18. This was a bad, isolating experience as a young person. I knew gay people existed, but I was stranded in a conservative mileue.

I've been a huge proponent of all ages spaces since I was a youth.

All ages music venues are especially important.

Counterculture needs to be accessible to people who need it and a lot of those people are young.

hi! linux/systemd/alt question: is there any stable and usable alternative to systemd that can do well at least

log management
having the existence of a file as startup dependency (ie when trying to start, stay in a pending state until a file appears at a certain path)
hardening (at least the basic stuff like permissions..)

and i know it probably won't be possible with that following one but let's put it as a side note for alternatives for specifically this: an alternative to systemd timers (ie crons but that aren't shit and janky as fuck)

boosts greatly appreciated on this one, thanks!
#systemd #sysadmin #linux

syntactic sugarwater for hummingbird coders

love the #WP25EasterEggs light theme and dark theme alternatives alike 😀

Happy Birthday #Wikipedia !! 💖

I turned to my boss. "I don't get it. How does he get better the more exhausted he is?"

My boss just looked at me like it was obvious. "Our front end code depends on Jake weary."

@foone

After a few more minutes of this he slammed down on the enter key, and stood up, stumbling to the corner where he had sleeping bag, and just collapsed on it.

We crowded around his monitor. Unbelievably, he had cleared every outstanding bug.

@foone

But when we got into crunch mode and the hours grew longer and longer, it's like the pressure and stress unlocked his potential. Once, in the last 48 hours before a big deadline, I walked in on him surrounded by about a dozen empty cans of Monster, just furiously typing away, muttering to himself. I was about to say something when my boss shot me a stern look and shook his head.

So I stood there. We all just stood there, watching.

@foone

This was many years ago but i once worked with this front end dev, guy named Jake. He was a kind of an odd fellow. Real lanky dude, didn't talk much. And normally he wasn't the greatest programmer, a bit sloppy.

This Eid, let's keep our palestinian friends in our mind, and lend a hand to them using our pockets!

It's raining in Gaza, but look at the extent of our suffering from the cold and the tents. Please don't abandon us, help us.
