In-reply-to » I bought a 256GB usb a couple of weeks ago, I now want a OS on it with persistent storage. I only have 1 drive on my newest laptop at the moment, so I do not want to dualboot and such, so a os on the usb stick is a nice option. Tonight I'm testing NomadBSD - https://nomadbsd.org/index.html Will flash it in a couple of minutes, hope it boots fine with my hardware.

sadly wifi does not work. have to check that later.

The worst kind of blogging is blogging about blogging, so, I’ll keep this blogging about blogging short!

It got a wee bit cold here in Maine this weekend. It was thankfully uneventful for us. We hung around inside and watched it get real cold outside. Our home faired pretty well, too. Honestly pleasantly surprised about that!

We picked this weekend to go all in on potty training — pantsless days, treats, rousing bouts of encouragement sung, and a lot of spot cleaning. Fueled by hubris, I thought we had this potty trainin … ⌘ Read more

also, our dog does not sleep long on weekends, but today I refused to get up early once he started to get riled up I walked over to his crate, told him to sleep, sniffed my hand and he then stopped and got back to sleep, did that two times, and got up at 10 instead of 8. felt great!

At least I started on something today. Been months and months since I did anything. I started on a asset I want to use in a short I want to make some day.
Not done yet at all, but blocking things out just so I get a feel for it.

Time Domain Audio Compression at 3.2 bits per Sample
Audio formats typically fall into one of three categories: “lossless”,
“complicated” or “bad”. After developing a
simple image format
last year, I tried to come up with an audio format that fits neither of these
categories.

In other words: a format that is lossy, simple and quite ok.
Naturally, it’s called QOA — the Quite OK Audio Format.

I've seen before that Markdown tables render fine in Goryon but not in the webapp. They ought to behave as similarly as possible, right? So just in this small interaction there are three discrepancies between how the mobile app and webapp render Markdown.

@prologic@twtxt.net The parse is correct. this seems to be something with the markdown render.

In-reply-to » I've never liked the idea of having everything displayed all of the time for all of history.

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Several reasons:

  • It’s another language to learn (SQL)
  • It adds another dependency to your system
  • It’s another failure mode (database blows up, scheme changes, indexs, etc)
  • It increases security problems (now you have to worry about being SQL-safe)

And most of all, in my experience, it doesn’t actually solve any problems that a good key/value store can solve with good indexes and good data structures. I’m just no longer a fan, I used to use MySQL, SQLite, etc back in the day, these days, nope I wouldn’t even go anywhere near a database (for my own projects) if I can help it – It’s just another thing that can fail, another operational overhead.
