@glyph this message originally angered me because of its wording. A possibly nicer way to say this would have been to remind folks of the instance rules, specifically around https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/discourse.html as listed in https://merveilles.town/about/more
Cursed Food Thought
@birdstare oooh, that sounds tasty. Mapo Tofu Taco Salad?
Learning that people suffering from the storm and blackout in Texas were using the guide in our book Recipes for Disaster to build a rocketstove with which to heat food and water, we've put the directions online here in their entirety:
Please circulate.
@flaneur hi! nice to meet you as well.
Yup! I wrote https://realworldsre.com even :D
My current title doesn't involve SRE, but I'm still deep in that world.
@flaneur On 1. right now we're going to use Github. We're talking about other platforms, Patreon & OpenCollective for example, but right now we're keeping it simple.
2. I don't know anything about fedstoa. Where can I read to learn more?
@rek so pretty!
"The guru is not exposed as a liar or a lech, a joker or a thief, but “only” a child laughing in the sun. The seeker’s mistake did not lay in identifying something special in this person, but in believing — hoping — that this specialness had something to do with knowing the truth. Instead, the numinous boils down to an ordinary state of radiant and childlike joy."
I realize I've been tooting for a while on Merveilles and never wrote an intro. so sorry for the delay... of 12 months or so?
I'm Nat, or icco. I've been building software since the early 2000s. I love building cli and web tools, and spend a lot of time #datahoarding. I try to do everything in the open, so all of my personal code in FOSS, and most of my thoughts are public on subdomains of https://natwelch.com.
When I'm not writing code, I like hiking, fly fishing, reading, writing, and listening to and making music.
@aadil oh wow, we're almost at 500! I had no idea. https://merveilles.town/about/more
I wonder what the monthly active count is. @somnius do you have access to extra data like that?
@tehn I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.
@aadil is there a way to o see how many people are on an instance?
@dogstar I listen to NPRs up first podcast while making coffee in the morning, and limit myself to that. I'll research something if it sounds interesting, but since I'm focusing on making breakfast, I'm usually only half listening.
@dualhammers I tend to need to do something, or the depression just gets worse. But you're right, a bit of rest is a good idea.
@s_ol I'd be interested!
Anyone interested in an NSynth Super?
https://nsynthsuper.withgoogle.com/
I might be building one for a family member, and it would make sense to buy components for couple more to get up to MOQ on the PCB etc. EU shipping only.
I could probably provide them fully-assembled but also as some kinds of kits if anyone wants that. Let me know in DM or reply, RTs appreciated too! :)
