@movq@www.uninformativ.de imagine remapping them to reboot and shutdown instead. That would be fun, wouldn’t it? 😂

I don’t hate fun… …I think?

Pinellas County - Base: 6.35 miles, 00:09:37 average pace, 01:01:02 duration
not base. not sure if it was heat, humidity, pace, or all the yard work i had been doing but my HR was really high. fun, but it did not feel relaxed.

Pinellas County - Long Run: 7.01 miles, 00:08:51 average pace, 01:02:06 duration
my heart rate really got up there and i could not slow my pace down reliably. it was a fun run but it also aggravated my left knee from last weeks long run.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de its always fun to look back on old projects. I talked to an old coworker about a codebase i made back in 2010 that still has lots of the same architecture i built into it back then and is still in heavy use.

I’ve never had a punch-tape style label maker before. This is super fun. Labels for everything!

whoa this run felt great. seemed very fun effort while the heart rate was relatively low with a nice pace. it was very cold out, 42F with a wind chill of 38F, but it didn’t matter once the engine was going. unfortunately, halfway through the run code brown sirens were blaring and had to cut it short.

I have been doing interview prep for next year. The problems have been great to get practice and make it fun when compared to the dry solve this you get on hacker rank or code scene.

That and so many great write-ups to explain the problems.

Creating stories together with a five year old is fun.

@bmallred@staystrong.run this was a really fun run

One thing to note about #AdventOfCode: It is really, really important to inspect your input data.

Your data could be considered part of the puzzle description. By inspecting it, you can find clues and you might find out that you can make certain assumptions.

(I mean, what’s the alternative? There could be a list of allowed assumptions in the textual descriptions, right? That wouldn’t be a lot of fun, I think, as it would give away too much information about the solution. It’s more interesting to find those clues yourself.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de haha! I’m sure they had fun working around stuff like nineight

Streaming services can suck. Wanted to watch the classic Elf movie for a fun movie night, but somehow we were getting the message “This movie is not available in your region.”. Turns out we were looking for the wrong title.

fun workout but should have put the reps from 5 to 10. only had to stop twice to cough up a lung, but otherwise felt okay for getting over a cold.

Having fun with React - yet again. A large part of my job entails (re)learning technologies - luckily I have access to some good resources in the form of training- and tutorial sites, all provided by my employer.

@prologic@twtxt.net the new product was GPTs. A way to create tailored bots for specific use cases. https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts (fun fact: I did an internal hackathon where we made something like this for $work onboarding. And I won a prize!)

The competed project is poe https://quorablog.quora.com/Introducing-creator-monetization-for-Poe which is basically the same idea. Make a AI bot tailored to a specific domain of knowledge. And monitize it.

The timing fits very well as openAI announced it just a few weeks ago.

ExpressJs is rather fun to work with - at least for a smaller project.

SPRF Half Marathon: 13.20 miles, 00:09:29 average pace, 02:05:12 duration
still host and humid (no surprise) but more cloud cover today. no kids but beth came and was able to cheer me on in a couple of places which was fun. the last bit she yelled “five to go!” which kind of got in my head a bit, albeit i think the heat started to get to me as well. had to take a couple of brief walks just to recollect and focus again. pretty good training run. keeping it in the green for the most part and around marathon pace. can’t wait to see how cooler weather and more training will pay off!

@bmallred@staystrong.run good thing i moved my run because no way i was going to be able to finish one after getting home around 0400. it was a fun night out with glenn and ash, but it may take a day or two to recover!

Pinellas County - Long Run: 11.14 miles, 00:10:15 average pace, 01:54:07 duration
did loops around the block since we had to leave early this morning. going to be a busy day (and night) so moved this run to today instead of tomorrow. pretty nice out, but it was beyond boring.

I’ll shut down this instance soon, I want to say thanks to all of you, especially @prologic@twtxt.net . It’s been fun here, but I do not spend much time here anymore - cutting down on the things I host and use \ spend time on etc.

I’ve been using activitypub more - since it’s more or less replaced ‘x’ for me, and can be reached at:
@stigatle@activitypub.stigatle.no

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s a fun challenge to see how many words you can say without expressing any ideas at all. Maybe this GPT stuff should be trained to do that!

-1 for the negative on environment all that electricity uses. Still waiting on proof of stake.

It is also too overrun with Tech Bros scamming people to get rich quick.

It was a fun ride back when I first bought in. But I have since cached out for my lambos and such.

twtxting from my old laptop! stuck in bed with a nasty back pain, trying to come up with a small fun project to take my mind off it

Alright, check this out. I just kinda completed today’s project of converting a jeans into a saw bag. It’s not fully done, the side seams on the flap need some more hand sewing, that’s for sure. No, I don’t have a sewing machine. Yet?

At first I wanted to put in the saw on the short side, but that would have made for more sewing work and increased material consumption. As a Swabian my genes force me to be very thrifty. Slipping in on the long side had the benefit of using the bottom trouser leg without any modification at all. The leg tapers slightly and gets wider and wider the more up you go. At the bottom it’s not as extreme as at the top.

The bag is made of two layers of cloth for extra durability. The double layers help to hide the inner two metal snap fastener counter parts, so the saw blade doesn’t get scratched. Not a big concern, but why not doing it, literally no added efforts were needed. Also I reckon it cuts off the metal on metal clinking sounds.

The only downside I noticed right after I pressed in the receiving ends of the snap fasteners is that the flap overhangs the bag by quite a lot. I fear that’s not really user-friendly. Oh well. Maybe I will fold it shorter and sew it on. Let’s see. The main purpose is to keep the folding saw closed, it only locks in two open positions.

Two buttons would have done the trick, with three I went a bit overkill. In fact the one in the middle is nearly sufficient. Not quite, but very close. But overkill is a bit my motto. The sides making up the bag are sewed together with like five stitch rows. As said in the introduction, the flap on the hand needs some more love.

Oh, and if I had made it in a vertical orientation I would have had the bonus of adding a belt loop and carrying it right along me. In the horizontal layout that’s not possible at all. The jeans cloth is too flimsy, the saw will immediately fall out if I open the middle button. It’s not ridgid enough. Anyways, I call it a success in my books so far. Definitely had some fun.

I mean you don’t even have to do the game to make a fake emoji result. But its a fun little challenge for brain food.

LOL. Some days I feel like Forrest Gump, wanting to mow just for fun. Others is a chore. The other are way more frequent than the some. LOL.

Yup, and my answer’s the same: very little. But it’s fun! Have fun with computers!

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.” - Banksy

Content-security-policies are an evil necessity. Setting them up securily takes away some fun out of publishing online.

this entertainment news stream that i’ve been working on has served the dual-purpose of giving me more information to work with to point out systemic flaws that nobody will ever admit exist. i think using an entertainment medium to talk about these ideas is good because its never going to be about winning an argument. we are presenting information in a fun way for the sake of education. a lot of western people are (possibly intentionally) ignorant of their genocidal history and practices that often continue to this day. there is a lot of injustice propping up western hegemony that must be answered for. there is a lot of organizing to do to provide adequate resources to the people that western culture continually treads on. to bring back the beauty that the white man keeps trying to burn down, suppress, or kill in the name of economic progress. https://www.twitch.tv/LeftistsFiteLeftists

wrestling the car over to the new place today was fun. got real dusty and a little muddy. that’s a good day to me. then spent the evening chilling with my partner ^^
