In-reply-to » Continuing my no-HVAC challenge, this year I've been heating myself/my partner by either making a ghetto Kotatsu by placing a crappy old space heater under a blanket and a box or by using an electric blanket.

My parents visited us over the weekend and they enjoyed using this ghetto kotatsu. Success!

In-reply-to » Today was a clear and sunny late autumn day. The gently blowing wind made the 4°C feel even icier. My fingers nearly froze on the trigger button, but it was worth it. The red of the sunset was incredibly intense, holy crap! Even an hour before the sun went down, the red took over everything, my photos just don't do it any justice. Coming down a north west path I noticed that the ground was frozen solid. On the contrary, the terrain on the south western side uphill was quite mushy. Media I hear you crying: "Now shut the fuck up and show me all that red crazyness!".

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ooh I used to live in a place with real autumn leaves and snow. That picture made me miss it heh.

I use NNCP for everything from send/receiving emails, to Telegram/Matrix piping, and Youtube video queuing. So my plan was to upgrade but then one of my cats threw a temper tantrum over food, so I had to deal with that, then I upgraded everything. Finally 😅

In-reply-to » It’s pretty easy with jenny to use GPG to sign your feed (just do it in your publish_command), but of course, there’s no verification. 🤔 Should this be on the TODO list? Is it overkill? Nobody’s using it at the moment …

@movq@www.uninformativ.de If there were something like verify_command, how could we signal to other feed consumers how to decrypt and/or verify a post? Also what about using TOFU here instead of a key sharing service?

In-reply-to » I think I’ll give GPG, signed commits, and signed release tarballs another chance. 🤔 Let’s see how big of a headache this is going to be …

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Some of my friends in college were really excited to actually find other fellow nerds in college willing to engage in a key signing party. They used it to send like 3 or 4 inconsequential emails and then just gave up on it.

In-reply-to » Who can answer me a Makefile question?

@adi@f.adi.onl Ugh sorry for not replying. If the file list is dynamic, usually you use something like autoconf to generate the Makefile. I’ve also used wildcards in the past and that works okay. You should be able to use shell commands to populate the file list.

In-reply-to » Ugh why does Emojipedia sell my data. This is so silly.

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah like normally I’m just a little annoyed and just say “whatever” and shrug it off, but come on I am searching for emojis here. Do you really need to harvest my user data for what is essentially a fuzzy search in the Unicode table?
