I saw a comment by @clseibold earlier (hope I spelled that right) talking about streaming audio capabilities in mobile Gemini clients. I can't seem to find the post anymore, but it got me thinking about whether Opal (the client library that Rosy Crow uses to do it's Gemini stuff) can support that. [https link] Currently it does not support that, because the entire response is read all at once into a buffer. Thinking about this a while, I of course arrived at the classic conclusion that...

I had my first shave with this safety razor since my trial subscription with Harry's ran out. I'm quite convinced I'm not going back to the disposable plastic razors anytime soon. I'm pleased with the result. I also wish someone had told me about witch hazel sooner in life. I'd have been shaving a lot more often, and much happier about it.

Finally have automated deployments set up for Rosy Crow. It's such a pain in the ass having to wait for a new GitHub Action to chug along just to test a simple change. Woe betide any problem to which the solution is to use the "sed" command

On a whim I opened up my RTL-SDR dongle and learned that it has I2C pins. Work was slow today, so I spent a good deal of time reading about what would be involved in controlling it with a raspi Pico. That of course led to setting up a Pico-SDK template project in Visual Studio; then I looked up and saw that several hours had passed without my consent.

Voices from the Front Line Against the Occupation — Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN) reached out to Fauda, a small group centered in the West Bank that identifies itself as a Palestinian anarchist organization, to get their perspective on the current struggle.

I turned a Raspberry Pi into a Wi-Fi extender last week, and it's still going strong. It's running RaspAP for it's frontend and service finagler. The Pi itself is connected via 5GHz to my wireless router, and it's using an Alfa AR9271 USB dongle for the 2.4GHz access point. It covers the middle and back of the apartment quite nicely.

The RICO charges brought against protestors in Atlanta are ridiculous — Atlanta, GA — Georgia prosecutors have indicted 61 individuals under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, for their alleged participation in the #StopCopCity movement and for, as they put it, promoting “virulent anarchist ideals.” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr's recent indictment of the Stop Cop City protestors is laughable. His office's 109-page indictment cites "mutual aid", "...

Switching to Iceraven — I'm switching my default Android browser from Chrome to Iceraven. I appreciate how snappy the UI and add-on features are (thanks to Firefox Fenix), and the security features are impressive.

— I've been loving the dress/skirt discourse that StackSmith kicked off yesterday.
Re: Dresses for us guys — As cis guy, I am glad to see other men embracing comfortable, practical clothing. I've worn skirts to rennaissance fairs in years past, and I'm keen on reintroducing the article into my usual rotation. Here's a list of reasons why men should consider wearing skirts: They are comfortable They offer more aesthetic latitude than...

Finally setting up a home NAS — On a whim yesterday I decided to check out the local university's used-surplus sale. I was hoping to find a tape player or maybe a PDA. I found neither of those, but I *did* find a 6-bay NETGEAR ReadyNAS box for $75, so I snatched that up. When I got home I stuck a junk HDD in it to confirm that it worked, and was able to get it set up through the online interface. It only had a bit of dust that needed to be blown out. I next needed to buy disks... The...

My PROXY v2 C# Implementation — Since we're on the subject of reverse-proxies today, here's something I wrote in C# which parses a binary (v2) PROXY-protocol header from the beginning of a Stream. Note that NGINX doesn't support the v2 protocol, only the plaintext version (v1). I can confirm that this implementation works well behind HAProxy (which it should, since it's their protocol anyway). A word of warning about using PROXY in a Gemini context: if your reverse proxy is *not* terminating...

Opal 1.7.0 - now with Titan! — Last night I finished the initial implementation of support for the Titan protocol in Opal. Opal is a Gemini client library written for the C# world (.NET Standard 2.0 and .NET 7). Uploading the contents of a file to a remote host using Opal now looks like the following: [csharp] This means that I can begin implementing support for Titan uploads in Rosy Crow. I hope to have that finished before the end of the week. Thank you for reading! 😁
