Sometimes if you haven't driven your SBC for a while it won't start, and you have to jump start it from another one

(For the avoidance of doubt, no, not really)

I read recently that they'd discovered ancient waterproof trousers near Mount Ararat, thought to have been worn by Noah. If this is true, they'll be Waders of the Lost Ark

Motorola G5 Plus (potter) runs nixos! Waiting for PR review https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos/pull/359

#issuecomment-851418520" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos/pull/359#issuecomment-851418520 eventually persuaded mobile-nixos to produce a boot image small enough to flash to the motorola potter (G5 Plus) boot partition. Little bit of cleanup still required (touchscreen powerup and calibration) but hopefully soon this will be good enough to merge

Replaced gear hanger on daughter's bike and now she can change into every gear from 1 to 7, whereas previously it wouldn't enter or exit gear 1. I am quite pleased with this diagnosis as the hanger was not visibly bent at all.

I asked Sinead O'Connor to measure 3.5 inches, but she refused. She says that nothing compares 2U?

#postmarketOS just turned four!

An unexpected degree of early success with mobile nixos on moto g5 plus (potter). Touchscreen isn't working yet

becaus if i'm going to run python on my watch, I might as well be running the same language on the android companion app

Here's my favorite git feature that no one knows about:

You can reference commits using the commit message instead of the hash. The ":/" syntax accepts a regex that matches any part of the commit message, returning the youngest matching commit.

On the one hand, new highest speed on my regular skating loop. On the other hand, I just know that when I dig into the data I'm going to find out it was a downhill

Dont understand why you would name your filesystem to sound like a syscall error https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/erofs.html

TIL about c++ references. At least, a little. I am hoping that my mental model of "do this voodoo to avoid pass-by-copying semantics" is sufficient to avoid my arduino sketch crashing due to inadvertently creating two mqtt PubSubClients

Would anyone like to co-sign my petition on banning the extraction and use of peat in the UK? I only need 5 signatures for it to be considered for publication.

Any UK resident or British citizen overseas can sign.

"Use MQTT", they said. "It's low overhead, simple and you can send anything you like".

Yeah, until you want anything else at all to receive it, in which case if you decided that instead of JSON-encoding all the values in your payload (yes, let's put the burden on the battery-powered low-cpu embedded iot device using an mqtt library with a 256 byte payload size limit) you'd send a binary encoding, you're basically SOL

@technomancy@icosahedron.website have you re-uploaded a bunch of fennel tarballs recently? Either https://fennel-lang.org/downloads/fennel-0.9.1.tar.gz has changed sha256 or Nix is lying to me

Today in 1964 BASIC made its debut, in an effort to take programming out of the world of machine language.

Share if you're old enough to have gotten your start with it.

given

identity :: p -> p

identity x = x

we can infer that identity politics = politics

I decided that the world does not have enough init replacements already, and because of the risk that anyone else might otherwise find it useful I decided to write it in Fennel.

Wrote a blog post last night and it seems to still make as much sense now as it did when I posted it, so here you are - https://ww.telent.net/2021/4/30/what_s_up_d

Question on my mind is "why is 'women's draughts' apparently a separate sport from just 'draughts'"

I put up a guide for people coming to #fennel from #clojure since that seems to be a common path: https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel/tree/main/from-clojure.md

if you fit that profile and have some time to read it, I'd be interested in feedback!
