Mixed pasta dishes this evening (pesto and Alfredo):

As it turns out, $15 Pokemon card tins make surprisingly good soldering kits.

@troodon Thank you for writing this. 💜

I don’t know if you follow her, but Xeni has also been writing a lot about this on birdhellsite lately, and it’s been balm for the soul.

I miiiight already have one of these on order.

@thamesynne @wigglytuffitout @melissasage Saaaaame, and I got a chuckle out of this.

The drama is legendary. But it was a hell of a lot easier to swallow without regular injections of bot-campaign-pushed, bad faith nihilism that I do not miss from corporate media. And I’m grateful to instance admins for not letting that fly here.

@melissasage I mean, we still had interpersonal strife, but not monetizing eyeballs solves so, so much.

@melissasage This is also how things used to work in the age of fora before social media. Especially for newer generations of folks that didn’t get to experience it, it’s worth a reminder that the bizarrely toxic, enforced-by-bots, nihilistic social media context is the anomaly, not the norm.

Local admins can just ban the shitlords. No appeals process. No zillions of extra accounts if their instances are configured properly. It’s that simple.

More experiments from the experiment table.

@salameleon@snouts.online I really want to know how they managed to make the Wart fight work. It was amazing.

@Taylor All of the old 1-2am information got written to the new 2am when clocks rolled back one hour, because that’s how this particular time series handled going back in time.

“Siri, what does DST ending feel like to a computer?”

@LazyTechsupport@cybre.space Yeah, the only preprocessing I’m doing is Imagemagick, then PIL to load the file into their Python library. It’s super simple.

@Jo @Canageek@cybre.space Looks like the 7.5 inch one is ~$75, though, so that could be a starting point.

Also, if you build such a thing, make sure to select the two-color models. The tri-color ones take forever to refresh the screen (the refresh rate on these is also pretty long, though apparently there are others that are faster).

@Jo @Canageek@cybre.space Yeah, this one is definitely not good for reading longer text off of. They have larger displays, but they're a power of 2 increase in price, with the >9 inch ones running $200 or so (ie, more expensive than buying a Kindle and deconstructing it).

You also have to do the text wrap and/or conversion to BMP yourself, though I'd bet some output format from Calibre could work.
