    So, yeah, it's been about 4 months since I last did anything here with my instance. TBH it is because I've been a bit more than busy. New cornea. New house. Things like that there.

    I will literally see you later The one where I'm not excited or nervous or anxious. Not one bit. Nope.

    If I don't think about what's going to happen tomorrow, I don't get myself worked up about it. That's easier said than done at times...

    1. The Pentagon Is Making a Ray Gun to Stop Truck Attacks
      from Defense One
      A device that resembles an old phonograph may soon be used to jam and shut down vehicles like the one that killed 10 people in Toronto.

    downloaded the source code for Openshot, so I could snag all the blender files for rendering titles.

    Haven't been on for a few days. Up visiting family in Oregon, before I'm stuck in AZ post-surgery recovery. Related, my S.O. got sick, so we extended my stay until the end of the week, so she can get past the contagious stage (if I get sick, the surgery gets postponed another 3-4 months)

    Wait isn't that what sauerkraut is, pickled cabbage? :) Sounds like a win! Bummer about the peppers.

    Tasty! I love pickled carrots and beets. I will have to seek out cabbage and jalapeños of the pickled variety as they too sound delicious.

    Settled on a variant of #openSuSE Tumbleweed called Gecko Linux as my daily. It's kind of like a Fedora spin, but openSuSE. I considered using Arch linux, but I'm a lazy geek -- I just want the shit to work, but a little tweaking is fine.

    Pleasantly surprised to discover that Pitivi (non-linear video editor) is written in #Python. Impressive.

    After discovering Arrow for #python (easy datetime manipulations), I then discovered python's own timedelta. Arrow is a prettier way to use it, though.

    The Website Obesity Crisis. Still relevant today. Also, the Taft Test is fun.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is, in fact, the Fediverse, or as I've recently taken to calling it, the ActivityPub Fediverse. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free server implementation of a fully functioning social networking protocol, working alongside many others creating a fully-fledged social networking network.

    Many users on the Fediverse are communicating either with ActivityPub or OStatus every day, without realizing it.Through a peculiar turn of events, many users are attributing the merits of the idea of 'decentralized social network' to Mastodon, not aware that it is basically the same as all previous federated social networks with a nice frontend slapped on top of it.

    There really is a Mastodon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the Fediverse they take part in. Mastodon is an implementation: a software that implements the standards as stated in the various specifications. Implementations are the most vital part of a protocol, but useless by themselves alone; they can only function if they are interoperable with other implementations of the specification, thus creating an interconnected network. Mastodon is normally used to access the Fediverse: the whole system is basically an ever-expanding universe of federated social networks software, hence Fediverse. All the so-called "Mastodon" instances are really just instances in the Fediverse.

    Many users do not understand the difference between the implementation, which is Mastodon, and the whole system, which they also call "Mastodon". The ambiguous use of the name doesn't help people understand. These users often think that Eugen Rochko developed the whole system in 2016, with a bit of help.

    Programmers generally know that Mastodon is just an implementation. But since they have heard the whole system called "Linux" as well, they often envisage a history that would justify naming the whole Fediverse after the implementation. For example, many believe that once Eugen Rochko finished writing Mastodon, the implementation, its users started to create more federated social networking software that was interoperable with it, and thus the protocol was alive and well.

    Which is actually not entirely incorrect - the ActivityPub specification was already complete, but was struggling to find projects which could adopt it. However, it's important to remember that Mastodon previously worked through the OStatus set of protocols, which had been developed throughout the years and implemented by many different projects, including, but not limited to, GNU/Social, Diaspora, postActiv, Pleroma. Only in 2016 did Mastodon become a part of this network, whose creation is definitely not due to Eugen Rochko.

    She sits cross-stitching, while I get my geek on, writing code. "Bob's Burgers" as background entertainment. #QualityTime

    Oh yeah, I-10. In the far left lane and need the exit 500 ft away? Time to get over, despite signs advising of the exit for the last 4 miles! I-8 is a frequent "To hell with this traffic, I'll go the long way around" detour. One thing I DO like about the freeways here is that the lanes themselves have lettering indicating what branch of the freeway it will take you (that is, the exit lane for 101S is marked with "101 S", the lane to stay on 202 is marked with "202...")

    Sounds about right! Before I wizened up and started taking the train, I drove to work. What was a 15 minute commute on paper took an hour or more. The train ride took 30 minutes -- 30 minutes of reading and listening to music.
