@sickasfrick 15 seconds, gets me every time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX-OkFWpNBM

@bgcarlisle extremely concur.

@t54r4n1 here i was just going to post something about driving into the mountains to have dinner with family, so i suppose this is timely.

@jacethechicken i assume the camera was destroyed in an explosion shortly thereafter

@xenophora @shoutcacophony @djsundog as a counterpoint, janelle shane seems to be a perfectly decent person and i really enjoy her posts of, e.g., iceberg webcams: https://wandering.shop/@janellecshane/101580816025545654

it is a silly article, though.

some notes on using NOAA-provided METAR data to display the temperature in xmonad:

eventually i want to work up a bunch of notes on public weather data generally. there's so much cool stuff available, and i have so little idea where most of it lives, or how it overlaps with hobbyist-provided stuff.

there's also a weather station collecting dust on the back porch that i really need to set up soon...

@liw (as i go back to reconfiguring my window manager)

@liw reasonable. it is invariably a slog.

@liw if you ever write up any notes on this, i am interested in reading them. currently trying to decide whether it's worth giving fish another shot...

@Altruest i don't work in an office any more, but when i did we had a nap couch, and it was a Good Idea.

@codesections seems worth a look - i just added this to my yaks-to-shave list.

(i have a sense this one would send me down the "building software in rust" path for the first time, so i may save it for some time when i have a weekend to murder...)

@tomasino that's not half bad.

i just spent 20 minutes on this idea instead of just editing the blog post i was trying to find with git status.

fzf is a neat way to select lists of stuff from the cli with fuzzy-finding:

https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

this is a good one-liner:

vim `git status -u --porcelain | cut -b4- | fzf`

edits files selected from a list of things git thinks are new/changed.

i need a name for the fzf part so i'll remember to use it. suggestions welcome. fzf-git-status? select-from-changed? sel-changed?

@fuzzface @gamehawk @dave a weird and unexpected perk of living in a small town juuuust outside the zone that the megacorps care enough to service anything in is that my ISP is a couple named rob & peggy.

service flakes out every now and then but i have rob's phone number so it gets fixed pretty fast.

@vilmibm this is great.

(tiiiiiny quibble: a "requires js" notice might be good.)
