@cwebber you can't leave us hanging like that! Turn the truck around, we demand OK!

@Greg curious if that's working for you, since it seems you unfollowed your pub and might not have gotten fully into the network

@schlink manually calculate number of seconds from Jan 1 1900 to the start of the Unix epoch. Then use existing unix time functions, adding that offset.

@Greg anyway no need for a server if you can get a globally routable IP address; run a p2p ssb node..

@Greg yeah, but no -- let's just say that ssb does not meet my requirements for software I run on my servers

(neither does mastadon)

@alanz hairball

at least I get to make a configuration setting with a value of "ACKTHPPT"

@pfm wish I could blame someone else, but it's all me. Me and my damned personal responsibility.

(I've worked 12+ hrs/day for the past 5 days, that after a normal work week.)

utterly exhausted, and just found out this insane push I'm on for the past 5 days, and which I thought was just about over, is going to go on twice as long as I thought

plz send moral support

@jordyd you need a $500 option where you come sleeep on the couch, overstay your welcome by 6 days and generally disappoint.

It will boost your overall kickstarter around $2.50 per backer. #protip

is this really how embargoed security holes are communicated to distros these days? http://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros

Lack of https support on a page with a gpg public key supposed to be used to encrypt security hole reports 😮

(And the WOT paths to the only person to have signed that key are not great either.)

@cwebber to the extent this is a code smell and the code needs to be refactored, I prefer the version that makes that explicit, rather than obscuring it.

And yes I have code bases with long lines here and there sticking out from the 80 lines.

daylily tempura. OMG #cooking

may also happen on Mondays. Oh wait, I mean Tuesdays.

The "time leak" is my new favorite category of bug. Happens in FRP implementations.

said the functional programmer, completely ambiguously

I can' t type today. wft?

deployed the chopsticks of snake handling, snake will be ok

my stupid cat doesn't even flinch when a snake threatens to strike

my crazy cat just broght a black snake into my bedroom

so when this dodgy usb modbus adapter glitches out,
power to my whole house shuts down while the watchdog reboots it

teh future!

@clew easy, I don't have hot water on tap.

@garbados and they lied to their own employees about the scope of the project

Really puts their public statements about it in perspectuve, huh?

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..
