One of these days it's gonna rain in the AM and not just to make the nights cold...
Public · 2026-05-28 20:38+00:00 @ralf Congratulations!
Public · 2026-05-27 17:18+00:00 @chirpbirb I consider myself pretty well versed at Git and force pushing is still a 10 times a day thing for me lol

Saying "Login is not required" 5 times in 5 separate ways seems to have convinced the Google robots, praise be upon our AI overlords for releasing my update from jail.
Public · 2026-05-26 10:01+00:00 Obviously I got immediately bonked by Google for the login feature even though it's completely optional and gates no content or functionality 🥀
Public · 2026-05-26 09:08+00:00 Just pushed a new release of my @lobsters app for Android!
Main highlights for this release are the ability to log in for better ratelimits, and the switch from parsing unsupported JSON to directly scraping the HTML pages!
In the next release I will introduce the ability to upvote posts and comments, and reply to comments.

I guess I've been insane for a while
Public · 2026-05-24 17:13+00:00 @pundir I thought it was okay, doesn't really make a dent on the wider plot but it's a good spectacle. One time watch, but probably not worth going out to a theater for.
Public · 2026-05-24 15:12+00:00 Had a lot to write in today's weeknote and also got distracted hacking on the site in the process so it's a bit late :D

Public · 2026-05-24 06:49+00:00 Back to reading #scifi, hopefully it takes me less than 2 months to finish this or the yearly reading goal is under _serious_ threat.

Public · 2026-05-24 05:52+00:00 @skade *in 2024* ???? How did this go under the radar I am learning about it from this post LOL
Public · 2026-05-23 17:45+00:00 Finally finished this one and looking for the next round of #scifi and #fantasy #books to start reading, open to suggestions! Anyone except Martha Wells, I think my last 15 reads are all by her and I'm looking for something fresh :)

Public · 2026-05-21 15:50+00:00 One side effect of changing my @lobsters app to scrape the raw HTML instead of using the unsupported JSON endpoints is that merged stories now correctly show all their comments
I'll trade a higher chance of breakage for getting this functionality for free...
Public · 2026-05-21 00:32+00:00 I'm sick...
Public · 2026-05-19 14:46+00:00 @Kents Gonna be a long day waiting for one of those :thisIsFine:
Public · 2026-05-19 10:49+00:00 @JenJen that sounds so damn fun, I hope you have the best time! :androidPetPet:
Public · 2026-05-19 03:35+00:00 So sleepy...

Public · 2026-05-17 11:30+00:00 @radex @whitequark GitHub doesn't do IPv6 so unlikely to be that
Public · 2026-05-17 10:43+00:00 @JenJen I can attest it's pretty uncomplicated, and if you do find it Too Computer, it has a lot of third-party app support so you can always get something that is more your stride
Public · 2026-05-16 06:50+00:00 @fatiguedcherry @alice Opened the replies just to see if somebody had linked the subreddit :D
Public · 2026-05-15 18:52+00:00 @funkyidol Looked into FlashSpace and unfortunately it's too big of a change in my workflow just to solve the immediate problem, but I'll give it a shot. Very interested in hearing how you customize it
Public · 2026-05-15 02:14+00:00 @yashgarg well at least I can fix it for the MacBook at home
Public · 2026-05-15 01:37+00:00 I find myself to be too fast for the macOS workspace switching animation and it regularly consumes the `Command + T` intended for my browser on workspace 1 into the Terminal on Workspace 2 that I was navigating away from. Is there really no way to make just this animation fast without reduced motion on the whole OS?
Public · 2026-05-12 10:49+00:00 Public · 2026-05-12 03:59+00:00 I bought my new keyboard last month under the assumption it had wireless capabilities.
I could not figure out how to run it wirelessly, and assumed I had just read incorrectly.
I found the power on switch for wireless yesterday night when I took off all keycaps to clean them.
WHY WAS IT UNDER CAPS LOCK????
Public · 2026-05-11 19:33+00:00 @neil I did not know this particular spelling was up for interpretation, learning new things every day
Public · 2026-05-11 17:45+00:00 @killyourfm I think you can get a bit more mileage out of it by putting a cap on how much CPU PeerTube can use and accept a slower transcode phase. No matter how big you go PeerTube will most likely always top out a CPU for transcoding.
Public · 2026-05-10 15:14+00:00 Weeknotes are up! Rough week at work, but it was made up in spades by everything outside :)

Public · 2026-05-08 14:43+00:00 @botteaap Yeah it's an absolute shit show inside the company as well, this caught nearly everyone by surprise.
I'm not looking forward to how much chaos there's going to be in the on-call rotation both from having less people as well as discovering that a crucial credential was tied to someone we unceremoniously off-boarded. I'm sure the 18% drop in the stock prices was worth all this.
Public · 2026-05-08 02:49+00:00 Didn't ever expect to wake up to 1100 colleagues being laid off but that's what today has been at #Cloudflare. Through the grace of the orphan crushing machine nobody in my team was affected but it's an incredible shitshow.
Public · 2026-05-07 04:22+00:00 Almost had a Pavlovian reaction I am too online
Public · 2026-05-06 02:34+00:00 · edited 2026-05-06 03:04+00:00 I think somebody at Google either shipped a bug or the most confusing feature in Fitbit, their premium membership has a new AI driven app (obviously) and it now sends AI summaries and advice about your stats even if you haven't opted into the new app with a subscription active.
For the past day I've been so confused wondering why does Fitbit suddenly have so many opinions and only found it today by opting into the premium app and seeing all those summaries on the home page.
Public · 2026-05-04 15:33+00:00 @AzulCrescent goddamn right where it hurts huh 🫂
Public · 2026-05-04 03:18+00:00 · edited 2026-05-04 03:19+00:00 New feed is being deployed, it's fully rewritten to be W3C Validator compliant and the GUIDs match the old Hugo-based feed so if your feed reader had been dead the past two days due to some stroke of luck for me, nothing should change on your end.
Big thanks to @yashgarg for suffering through Astro's abysmal RSS support a few days ahead of me and letting me steal his code.
Public · 2026-05-04 01:28+00:00 RE: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/116511451058036861
Looks like I'll be breaking my RSS feed the third time in 2 days to potentially re-do it from scratch since the Astro RSS integration is jank beyond words. It's almost making me regret the whole thing.
Public · 2026-05-03 15:54+00:00 · edited 2026-05-03 16:07+00:00 Weeknotes are finally up! I've completely rewritten my site over the past week and unfortunately decimated the RSS feed in the process which is something I am deeply ashamed about and will be rectifying ASAP. Thanks for being patient with me!

Public · 2026-05-03 14:06+00:00 The custom site build system hole is real, all I've done today is fuck around with my site and read https://www.couldshouldmightdont.com/
Public · 2026-05-03 07:01+00:00 It's back up now, I didn't bother trying to figure out Cloudflare Tunnels for now since I needed the server back up. The problems I was facing with incorrect MIME types was caused by having it still be fronted by Anubis, directly proxying it to Cloudflare solved it.
Public · 2026-05-03 04:40+00:00 @sphericalkat Wanted to get rid of Hugo and Netlify together so I just decided it might be finally time to get a more programmable build pipeline so I can do interactive features over time.
Public · 2026-05-02 21:01+00:00 Git server has been taken off the internet temporarily due to some more spam as well as a partially complete attempt at exclusively serving it via Cloudflare Tunnels. Will Have it back before the weekend's over.
Public · 2026-05-02 04:01+00:00 One day of having an Astro site and I have already started to instinctively start every command with `npm run`
Public · 2026-05-02 03:29+00:00 As part of porting my site over to Astro I've been diligently checking every single post for issues, and I keep getting jump scared by the naivety of past me such as being excited about anything DHH is doing.
Public · 2026-05-02 03:23+00:00 o7 cutting my DNS over to Cloudflare, will follow up soon by moving the blog to Cloudflare Pages.
Public · 2026-05-01 22:07+00:00 Only got 2 hours of sleep on Thursday night so I promptly crashed around 6 PM on Friday without eating dinner or anything, now up at 3:15 AM both hungry and confused.
At least Fitbit is happy with my sleep for once.
