@cwebber haskell (green) threads need around 778 bytes, so that's pretty impressive!

Back from a 14 mile bike ride along the river with spring flowers everywhere.

... But, it's probably good if your FRP home automation framework has good support for time varying events. So.

Just spent 3 hours writing FRP code to drive a motion activated light.

I loathe motion activated lights.

Writing control code for the chest freezer to fridge conversion that I've been too lazy to actually get delivered yet using #haskell and functional reactive programming.

@brennen one of the beautiful things about scuttlebutt is git-ssb, which not only lets git repos be published fully p2p, but has a web interface for browsing repos and issue tracking that looks just like github.

You run the web interface on localhost, and issues you file there get published p2p like any other scuttlebutt message.

@liw and that's why I don't use notmuch..

RT @joeyh It's my birthday, and the only present I want is to create a new word on this day.

soloxnaslogosm is the accidental misreading of mostly numeric part numbers as words.

@smallsees Part Number a15060100ux0105 which you can kinda read if you turn it the other way, unless you soloxnaslogosm it as "aisobolooouxolos"

It's my birthday, and the only present I want is to create a new word on this day.

soloxnaslogosm is the accidental misreading of mostly numeric part numbers as words.

Chatting with a fraud protection person at a major bank about both our credit cards being used fraudulently despite the number never leaving our possession, and she's like "I think .. a lot of things about how this can happen".

Candor appreciated, even if you had to use elipses to express it.

@liw how much does secrets.example.com charge for password management?

hash("Not gonna write a git-annex special remote or anything")

@liw what's better than that?

Having the password be passed to the command as a parameter so it will also appear in `ps`

John Perry Barlow memorial at the internet archive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oaci9vlg_Sc

@liw do you charge more for large integers?

sum $ map (\(x, c) -> 2^(8*x)*toInteger c) $ zip [0..] $ map ord "just curious, not gonna write a git-annex special remote or anything"

@Kensan isn't the cat language the one where any program starting with "#!/bin/cat" is both syntactically valid and a quine?

@alienghic those specs are met by many mid-range arm boards, for example the cubieboard.

Super low-power option. I run my offgrid house with one.

@Kensan not uncommon for people to look over suid programs

often a well-targeted grep across a bunch of software can find you a security hole, for example see https://blog.steve.fi/finding_and_reporting_trivial_security_issues.html

@Kensan impressive that they found an exploitable race involving signals though, rather than some garden-variety buffer overflow

@Kensan I'm surprised it didn't have a security hole found in it earlier. It's had segfaults fixed in its before.

@sajith yeah, I only listen to it to learn the current establishment talking points

NPR's Here and Now mentions Mastadon. Next sentence, paraphrased: Most of these will be a flash in the pan; don't use unless you know a lot of people using them; after all, you're giving them your data too.

Yeah, let's keep all that personal data in one place, NPR.

@mako so you were right about the sports thing. curses.

(American) football turns out to be amazing?! https://www.sbnation.com/a/17776-football/

After drying my sumac harvest and rubbing the berries off the clusters, I ground it by hand with mortar and pestle.

Passed through a sieve to remove the seeds and stems, an amazing spice emerged.

This is the first time I've processed a spice. It reminds me of processing tobacco in the barn as a kid. So tactile, hands become sticky with dry sap, and it smells amazing.

Found this gorgeous thing on a bush, in a spot that I'm eyeing as a site for a small pond.

Been online via satellite for over 24 hours straight and have not used dialup at all for ~5 days. Solar upgrade is really working out; batteries have recovered significantly in the past month and despite summer waning, I have more power every day.

Cut a bumper crop of sumac just ahead of the rains. Amazing flavor.

Don't know yet how to process/store it, but I did make this jar of infused sumac garlic olive oil.

Split out the biggest cloves of Anna's garlic and planted them today.

The remaining pile-o-garlic should satisfy me for a month.

Minix won: Every modern Windows or Linux PC requires Minix to boot.

Guess how long this sign has been up.

This is my biggest lemon harvest ever from my potted meyer lemon tree. I've had it for 10+ years and it's always a joy. Next two lemon harvests in prep already..

Traffic was heavy through Asheville this morning.

Borg seems like the closest backup program like obnam. The main difference is it uses per-client AES keys, rather than gpg keys. So a backup can't be easily made accessible by other gpg keys.

I suppose that encrypting its AES key to the gpg keys you want to be able to access the backups, and storing the encrypted AES key alongside the backup will get the same functionality.

Did I mention the alien abduction part of my trip to Canada?

Drove to Canada and back. Home!

I walked over this bridge probably a hundred times, but never went down to see the waterfall. Let alone hiked down the gorge to Ithaca before.

Probably sums up my Cornell experience in some way.

Back at Cornell for the first time in 21 years. My feet still remember the way around.

Around a quarter of my pear harvest canned now.

The small jars are ginger-pear chutney. Need to find the time to make more of that, it's stunning.

There's always brogue..
