(#vglpnxa) @bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, great, mission accomplished! :-D The cleanup took half an hour, that was the annoying part. But the immediate aftermath of this accident looked really funny, I thought about taking a photo for a second. However, in order to confine the damage quickly, I decided against it.

(#grtrc7a) @bender@twtxt.net Not sure, if we actually have a law like that. But I wish it was the case. The clamp doesn’t say anything like that, just that it is now cactus.

The glue takes three days to reach its final strength. Let’s see. I’m sceptical.

Grrrrr…eat, one of my Bessey spring clamps broke. Ripped the arm right in half. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just designed in Germany but actually made out of Chinesium. :-( I will attempt to glue it back together with two component adhesive tomorrow, but I don’t have high hopes.

(#z2diwfa) @prologic@twtxt.net Nothing, yet. It was sent in written form. There’s probably little point in fighting this, they have made up their minds already (and AI is being rolled up en masse in other departments), but on the other hand, there are – truthfully – very few areas where AI could actually be useful to me.

There are going to be many discussions about this …

This is completely against the “spirit” of this company, btw. We used to say: “It’s the goal that matters. Use whatever tools you think are appropriate.” That’s why I’m allowed to use Linux on my laptop. Maybe they will back down eventually when they realize that trying to push this on people is pointless. Maybe not.

I’m building a service that lets you:

create and manage disposable, brandable email aliases so you can track leaks, forward important messages, and keep your real inbox clean.

I’ve just finishing building it for the most part, and have cut a v0.1.0 release. It’s currently closed source (to be decided later) and now open to beta testers. cc @bender@twtxt.net 🙏 I fully intend to monetize and offer this as a paid service in teh coming weeks/months, but beta/invite-only testers and early adopters/users first 🤟

(#mjqmz5q) @zvava@twtxt.net Late happy birthday! :-)

Cool, your website indeed mostly works even in w3m and ELinks. Sending notifications in the about page is out of question, since it requires JS. Apart from that, this is very good, keep it up!

Not sure how I can get the deskop look and feel working in Firefox, but since I’m a tiling window manager user, I prefer linear webpages anyway. :-)

Fuck me! I made a giant mess by knocking over the fresh cup of hot chocolate. I completely soaked my desk, t-shirt, pants, socks, house shoes, seat pad, chair, footstool, chair mat and floor. Showering beforehand was well worth it. :-D Let’s see where I will locate the smell of spoiled milk in the next days. Maybe underneath the baseboard? I’ll take bets.

At least my aiming skills are pretty good. I missed keyboard, mouse and other electronics.

Apologies folks 😅 A bit of a bad electrical storm rolled through earlier. 🌩️ I looked kind of bad⚡️ so I powered down the Mills DC 🤟 (out of precation).

(#6ukpp2q) I had a looksie (just to be sure) at the database, and they were thankfully legit test events. But this did spark/trigger me to make sure I have some form of anti-spam measures in place. So I added some per-event / per-rsvp rate-limiting and honeypot(s).
