i have found perhaps the most waffling disclaimer of all time https://sophiafoundation.org/sophia-foundation-disclaimer/

(#nzojsda) Looks like only one of my two judge position choices won their race. The winner I didn’t vote for is currently working as a deputy prosecutor and won quite handily which in retrospect feels predictable given the conservative tendencies of Spokane County. Regardless, all four candidates were well qualified and I’m perfectly content with the outcome.

november is the month for shakespearean histories i have yet to drag fiance through the hollow crown, so…

I’m really happy with how well octobloc.xyz has been working out so far. Yarn.social’s feed (persona) functionality is probably my single favorite feature because it lets me do topical microblogging.

for some reason, looking up non ad-hell youtube #gardening content, the australian stuff seems to be superior. this is totally fine but i’ll admit the christmas music underneath is throwing me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2EtDAKlyyg

(#nzojsda) All done. There were actually two judge races that required some effort on my part- all four candidates seemed solid and as strictly non-partisan positions it’s interesting to figure out who to choose.

I spent a ludicrous amount of time on the images/styling for this thing so I am going to promote it one more time before I allow it to gently, uh, compost into the digital garden, as it were https://maya.land/vampire-the-metasquerade/

are there queer Christian (esp. Catholic) hashtags I don’t know about? I feel bad sitting there guessing in mastodon.social’s hashtag search over and over. :boost_requested:

do NPR stations other than KUOW/OPB do local-focused podcasts? the ones we have here are great, I hope for this for the rest of you

Need to wrap up my ballot so I can drop it off at our library ballot box later today. This area has a surprising number of unopposed candidates for the minor positions which I find depressing.

(#qh35edq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci That is a metric I can relate to!🙄

📺 I’ve been enjoying Shantaram on AppleTV quite a bit. I’ve never read the novel, but I may have to track it down. 1980s era Bombay is a fascinating milieu and I find the characters and story quite compelling

this is from the can spam act. why did they choose the hyphen. do they actually require a dash instead of a hyphen. i have questions and no one should take the time to give me answers

The phrase “SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT” comprises 17 characters, including the dash between the two words. The colon (:) and the space following the phrase are the 18th and 19th characters.

had someone report me to me. i sort of respect that

is “truck bloat” the official name https://theweek.com/articles/929196/case-against-american-truck-bloat

is there fediverse lore written down anywhere? like – there was that one person who had a coworker who ate dog food, right? and – fuck brewster kahle? I don’t want to be the one who makes this list but I want it to exist

why is everything I ever want to do in the browser a violation of CORS

Has anyone tried static side generators other than hugo or ssg?

The kids want to build a jump for the little sledding hill in our front yard so I guess it’s time to shovel some more snow!

oh no a phone call :ACNH_Shocked:

Still in the process of transitioning from Dark Sky to Apple’s built-in weather app on my phone. Not sure what I’m going to use on the desktop. I’ve actively hated darksky.net for years because it never recognizes or remembers my location, but I keep going back. Old habits die hard.😐

(#o3zzt4q) The real pain was clearing my wife’s SUV so that she can safely drive my oldest into school this morning without flinging snow chunks all over the highway.

(#o3zzt4q) Ended up taking me about an hour to clear off our driveway and it’s still snowing. Only had about three inches to start, but it was fairly wet and heavy.

Snowed quite a bit overnight. I was thinking about going in to work, but clearly a good day to just work remotely and avoid the morning commute.

(#5ravvda) @prologic@twtxt.net I actually discovered twtxt/yarn.social shortly after learning about Gemini at the beginning of the summer, it just took me quite a while to decide on a setup and hosting course of action.

Filled the yard waste bin and three garbage bags with pine needles and I’m still not done! Pretty much par for the course for this time of year, but Friday’s wind storm amped things up a bit. Time to get back to it.

Time to go get productive on the weekend household chores front. That garage is not going to clean itself!

“the cloud is just someone else’s computer” is incorrect. the cloud is someone else’s oncall rotation.

https://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/ali/ali032.htm am I wrong to think that the moral of the story is Let People Enjoy Things

pondering whether I want to make an alt for faust.land microbloggy content. it is currently managed much more manually than maya.land (zero cron? in a maya project?? :ACNH_Shocked:) but…

(#emlgjra) Ah, looks like the reply interface needs to supply a post tag.

Playing with feeds and replies this morning during the Spurs game. Replies to feeds don’t seem to work quite like I’ve been expecting and feed posts don’t seem to be editable.

The curved channel in the yard began again for the year to fulfill its purpose

I think I’ve done enough fiddling around with octobloc.xyz configuration for tonight. Time to get some sleep.

Updated the default yarn.social SVG logo a minute ago and testing out the mobile posting experience now.

Took a break from regular microblogging (on a friend’s site) when I went on vacation back in July and never started up again. Decided to host my own yarn.social pod a couple weeks ago and finally got it working tonight.

Assembling all my #feditips for new arrivals here: https://maya.land/mastodon/#advice

All pinned post noticey disclaimery stuff now lives here: https://maya.land/mastodon-landing/

update: tried it, UI doesn’t want to load more than about 170, so that wouldn’t go back far enough to catch e.g. people posting from maya-is-sleeping timezones. boo!

I have a round robin sort script that I use for Miniflux, so I can have a page load hundreds of posts, then round robin sort them by feed. Would that be useful on Mastodon? Is that worth trying? Hmm.

(#ip5za2q) @mckinley@twtxt.net Nice. Looking forward for it.

What exactly are the advantages / disadvantages of RSS and Atom?

(#ttxxw6a) thx

I hope I can get my blog running again by the end of this year.

(#e2hjhua) this is lovely I’m not gonna lie

(#e2hjhua)

doas -u _postgresql psql --dbname=maddy --host=localhost --username=maddy -c "UPDATE passwords SET value = '$(maddy hash --password "$1")' WHERE key = '$2'"

take 2, without the 3rd argument

I wrote this little thing

doas -u _postgresql psql --dbname=maddy --host=localhost --username=maddy "UPDATE passwords SET value = '$(maddy hash --password "$1")' WHERE key = '$2' AND value = '$(maddy hash --password "$3")'"

First argument is the new password (hashed of course), the second being the username, the third being the old (current) password. I haven’t yet tried this but I might now.
