Here's a Threads-inspired coding joke for you this glorious Friday. If you know, you know.
Knock knock.
Race condition.
Who's there?
I've been gradually making my way though PG's latest essay "How to Do Great Work". Very motivating, and full of great points. Here's some I noted.
Essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/greatwork.html
Notes: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/martinrue/1db57ae5d5b37d8b92ae23566dd100f6/raw/637301496c089620a3df535fee330deeae003b7d/great-work.txt
Announcement: you can view as many posts here per day as you damn well please.
“Nobody supposes that the knowledge that belongs to the good cook is confined to what is or may be written down in the cookery book.”
Cool to see a LangFocus video about Esperanto, which does a typically stellar job of breaking down the language and explaining why it exists and why it's cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK6FCzqAiwI
Finally tried out rsync to create and push a gemlog to my capsule. I have a quick script to help me now.
Aaaand it's out! Here's the next episode of the podcast with Siru Laine. What a great conversation about languages, language-learning, translation, and tons more. Enjoy!
Kaj finfine nun haveblas la 4a epizodo de la podkasto. En tiu ĉi, mi estas kun la kara Siru Laine kaj babilas pri ĉio de lingvoj kaj lingvo-lernado al tradukado, kiom mojose estus havi etan kafejon en Skotlando, kaj kompreneble pri Eŭrovizio (kion vi atendis‽) Ĝuu!

recently got promoted. now I step further into management. there's no going back.
It seems Red Hat (IBM) goes after Alma Linux and Rocky Linux with a new decision to restrict access to the RHEL sources - which makes it difficult for Alma and Rocky to keep up with their binary compatible distros. Like they killed CentOS which was the most used OS on internet servers. Alma and Rocky told users not to "panic" because they are certain to resolve the issues, but we'll see what impact this has on RHEL clones this time.

Haven't made an update to my gemini site in a while. It's hard to think about some topic to write about. I recently have digged a little into Nix and NixOS but I think this is a huge topic to cover if I want to write about it. I also finally found my way to bbs.geminispace.org. I am sceptical if I'll use bubble in the long turn. On the other hand it's a lot of fun :)
This evening I recorded a new episode of my Esperanto podcast after a little break. This one was super fun, and all about language learning from someone who really knows what she's talking about (she speaks 15). Looking forward to releasing this one soon. 👏
Anyone else following this Titan story? Crazy! I hope they're found alive, but that's looking very slim. Insane to imagine yourself in the same position in terms of how you'd behave, what you'd do.
Bought an electric car yesterday. I know batteries can harm the environment too but my opinion is that batteries are easier to deal with than getting CO back out of the atmosphere. I also like the car, so that helps. And to hell with paying for gasoline and oil.
The thing about getting upset at someone is that they also get upset with you. I have the opposite of anger issues but sometimes I feel like I can never be angry, never be upset at anything. I just have to take deep breaths and look at it with a different view, consider their side, and see if I'm unreasonable. Sometimes I don't want to do all that, I just want to be upset because I never am.
In today's episode of Random Uses of ChatGPT: asking it to go from IPA to an approximation of a phonetic spelling in a given accent. Not bad results!
PS: if you're about to ask me "why‽", don't – I'll just make you dumber and you'll never get the time back.
Re: I just want to play fucking Call of Duty on my day off
this had me in stitches. thanks for the lol.
Happy Father's Day for all the fathers out there, and for those that celebrate it.
It was several weeks and I lost the habit of using Mastodon. I am looking through my timeline, and I'm not feeling the need to be active. It seems that many of followed accounts are also inactive. Maybe that feeling of novelty passed away?
I've checked my text e-mails and there were new messages. I've checked Usenet.
Now I'm sitting in my living room and I'm looking through the open windows. There is a stormy weather today and it's raining now. Clouds are hanging very low, and it's a bit foggy. I am lucky because the view from the window extends to an open urban space with lots of greenery. Many plans, are shrouded in rain and light mist.
Radio music is in the background. And the clear sound of rain.

The advantage of building more slowly but with a big focus on keeping it simple is that I’m returning to some code without any doubts or desire to change it to keep up with some trend or major version release of a framework. Good feeling.
I was at a creative networking event last night for the first time in ages. I forgot how good it is meeting and chatting to new people and finding out about their lives, goals and challenges. Need to do more of that!
🎬 New video, complete with guest appearance by a PB!
This one's about what I get from the gym and why it has been part of my life for the last 10+ years. I had to eat especially for this one, but it was worth it. 👏

Welcome back to the desk, USB fan. It was a long winter, but your services are once again required.
I know that titan isn't an official spec but I think it'll help me post gemlogs and better formatted tinylogs from my phone, so I'm taking the trade off. heck I guess tinylogs aren't official either but that's ingrained now too. I'm a 98% phone user of Gemini so this will definitely help me
I've slowed down. I'm observing (mentioned by @gritty@gemini.smallweb.space here) discussion at:
gemini://station.martinrue.com/at_work/c6275820116d492e964f6100de46b4bb
and thinking about the activity of /bbs.geminispace.org/ and no activity on /comp.infosystems.gemini/.
I'm wondering why people have abandoned only one real distributed system for discussion. So we had boards in BBS' era, then its superior version as NNTP, and then we've gone of course and started to think that we could use for that: WWW (aka. web forums), ActivityPub (despite messages length constraint, threading lack and so on), and now Gemini (aka gemini forum).
We don't have today's software for NTTP for sure. But in the small net while we are fond of using /neomutt/, we should accept for eg. /slrn/ as well.
Some folks are in a tizzy over on #station regarding @morgan's suggestion on #bubble about user verifications on Gemini. I'm on the fence about jumping in but it's interesting to see such a strong feeling here in geminispace, to the point of using expletives. On the one hand I see @skyjake's point about impersonations but on the other it is more centralization and tracking across sites. I see both sides, but it definitely is going away from the original essence of Gemini. I think our Benevolent Dictator For Life, @solderpunk could jump in and clear things up before other people start making decisions around here.
The phrase "can't swing a dead cat without hitting xxx" has always struck me as odd
East Coast of the U.S. is getting a preview of the future if we don't switch off fossil fuels.
creating per-site certificate entries for Amfora is frustratingly manual when I'm so used to automated in-app options.
split my tooth in half playing racquetball last night. No blood and not a lot of pain so I didn't qualify for emergency dental work. appointment today in a little bit. I got too close to the person I was playing in order to throw them off, but ended up taking the back swing to the mouth. spat out the tooth and promptly ended the game.
When I feel like I need to escape my current reality for a bit, switching language really helps hit that spot. Anyone else experience that? 📚
with the creation of Bubble, I'm wondering about two things: 1) when Station will cease to get at least one post per day and 2) when the community will press forward without @solderpunk on Gemini spec expansions. Browser writers have a lot of sway on what new and unofficial spec enhancements make it into common use, and with all the specification talk on Bubble these days, I feel like it's inevitable. prediction: an unofficial specification group is formed.
Feeling great after a perfect weekend of enjoying the beautiful weather with the best company, lots of cycling, sticking to the gym routine and many hours with the compiler. Hope you all had a similarly refreshing weekend. 🙌
The last day was about /geminispace.org/ domain name. So it's nice that Skyjake tries to listen to every voice on the Geminispace. The result of that is the new domain name /bbs.geinispace.org/. The /Bubble/ user subspaces are acting like a BBS board or like a 90's forum. It's convenient to set up an article from any Gemini address and build a response thread below the original content.
For me, the better layout (without emojis etc.) of that is on /Geddit/, which as I've read is switching to an Onion address. I must look closer at the Onion workflow. There are many Gopher and Gemini resources, which I've never seen.

I wish Ted Lasso had to work with a truly difficult person that wasn't won over with Midwest charm.
Finished Ted Lasso. one of the best shows I've ever seen. Glad they stuck to the original 3 season plan. Bravo.
Now for a spinoff since they need to ride that gravy train.
I dislike open wifi hotspots to that block vpn.
I'm curious: among the cycle crowd, do you guys have a word for the pain of having a bicycle seat shoved up your ass for the first time after a long break? Asking for a friend.... 's ass, obvs.
@textmonger and @circadian are my two favorite gemlogs these days. it's like a frequent /daily gemlog review digest.
good points about the Bubble project by szczezuja
Interesting read of the day
I'm getting used to this vlogging thing! https://youtu.be/TDuXWAIS4cY
So I finally got around to hacking together a script that allows me to post right to my tinylog via a Gemini input. This will hopefully allow me to update this tinylog much more often from my phone.
An inspiring talk by Kartik, like a TED talk for programmers.

Anyone here ride a Onewheel or an EUC? I'm very tempted to buy one, but would love to hear others' experiences.
Didn't realize how much I was attached to my watch before I lost it. Today when I was riding my bicycle again to the place where I lost it, I was tempted to check my empty hand two or three times. I made it 15 min before alarm went on. Searched the place once again and didn't find it. Then it started to beep... right by me, in a short grass, so easy to find, so visible.
I've been working much in the last weeks so I hadn't much time for a small-net browsing. But I'm alive!
In about 6 hours, I'll be giving a talk about my journey to learn Esperanto through building things. The talk will not be in English though, of course. Details here, if anyone's interested: https://eventaservo.org/e/3c6a62
TGIF... long week. What's everyone upto this weekend?
Just in case you need a reminder of how bad the web is (it's a joke, but not far from some real web UX), try and fill this form in as quickly as you can! 🤣 https://userinyerface.com
Yup, I'm still alive. Life doesn't let me sit down and log into my capsule as much as I'd like. In the meantime I still engage the geminiverse via Lagrange on mobile on a daily basis.
Random thought of the day: people in the geminiverse like to compare Gemini and Gopher to the old days of the web... but I definitely remember porn and illegal software all over the place but I've yet to see that here. I've seen people use the free gemini capsule hosting as file servers when I was poking around there, and maybe some sexy ascii art, but nothing like the mid-90s or what the web has become today. Let me just say that I'm NOT looking for these things, but merely had a thought that poked into my head as I read about people comparing gemini to the old web.
Reached feature parity with my Python prototype on my foodbot in Go today. Might be breaking things up into too many modules. The project structure feels a bit off to me, anyway. Here's today's bit, building on my nutrition module.

Really happy to keep finding the energy for this project. Here's episode 3 of the podcast, this one with my good friend Rico.
Mi tre ĝojas, ke mi daŭre trovas la tempon por kreskigi la podkastan projekton. Jen la tria epizodo, en kiu aperas ĉies plej ŝatata italo de Reading, Rico.
