Really impressed at how well my iPod's battery has held up. It's 19 years old, but it looks like I can still get about a day's worth of use out of it after replacing the HDD with a couple SD cards.

The news about the xz backdoor has got me feeling exhausted.

Reading issue 17 of Cat and Girl's zine and almost every one of the entries is hitting right now. This one in particular felt relevant to recent events here at Station and to my own feelings regarding them, and since I'm in a sharing kind of place right now, here it is: https://catandgirl.com/the-truth-is-out-there/

A first for the toddler today: he went to the cutlery drawer, got out a spoon (with some help), went to his little table, and asked for yogurt, which he then ate without any additional prompting or help. Seeing these little leaps in independence is really satisfying. ☺️

Finally got a little time today to apply the next layer of laquer and pigment to my kintsugi repair project. It's not a clean job I've done of it, but it's coming along better than I'd hoped so far.

Cleaned up the lines on my kintsugi pieces. Looking better than I'd hoped, for the most part. The cracked plate I used for practice is paying for my poor skill with the rotary tool at this point, but it's a mass-produced, basic piece; the two pieces I made with my own hands are at least looking alright, aside from urushi stains on their unglazed feet and bottoms. (Really should have used masking tape, as I'd been advised to do.)

Today I'm trying search.marginalia.nu as my primary search engine. My first search, "woodworking redwoods," to see what sorts of woodworking projects a fallen coastal redwood might be good for (if any), turned up this rather engaging article on the Arts and Crafts movement. https://reallifemag.com/starter-table-saw/

@mimas mentioned wanting to see more degrowth-related content here. As it happens, I'm about a third of the way through reading "The Future is Degrowth." Has anyone else read this book? If so, what were your impressions?

Weight and diet talk ahead, so stop reading now if you don't wanna hear it. Started making some changes to my life due to my weight gain starting to push into unhealthy territory, combined with a sudden onset of pretty bad acid reflux. No more alcohol, no more big snacks after dinner. Weight's been dropping week after week back toward my "normal," and the acid reflux is gone. Been pleased/relieved the solution was so simple, but my wife's been sensitive to this sort of talk since her pregnancy-related weight gain does not seem to have such a simple solution. So, I'm sharing here, for better or worse.

Finally got around to entering the salvageable parts of a busted hand vacuum into my inventory. Surprised to find a microcontroller in there! Not sure what role it'd play. Maybe turning the "charging" LED on and off? I'd have expected that to be a function of the charge controller, though. 🤔

Made a tool that takes a list of tab-separated date-integer pairs on stdin and outputs a Github-like heatmap as a PNG on stdout. Still needs some features, but it now produces the output I'd originally wanted. https://codeberg.org/lykso/date-heatmap

Instead of working on my foodbot project, I'm installing Windows 98 with 86Box so I can play Creatures. Had good memories of it from my childhood, so I bought the game from GOG only to find it unusably broken. Dunno what happened to the CD I had, but I've got an ISO. Hope it works!

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. https://codeberg.org/lykso/recipes

Decided to add a Markdown renderer to LML in order to write the README for a new project in it while still playing nice with Codeberg.
💬 0 Replies · 0 Thumbs · 1 year ago
Wrote my own markup language for rendering to HTML and gemtext. Might still be a little rough around the edges, but it seems to work well enough so far. http://codeberg.org/lykso/lml

Located a keycap puller for my housemate to borrow in about five seconds and was able to retrieve it in less than thirty, thanks to my inventory system. Feels good when a system works so smoothly!

Always difficult determining if you're about to over-engineer something.

Got My Time at Portia a few days ago. It has soaked up all my free time since then. It often happens that I spend the holidays playing more video games than usual, and this year seems to be no exception.

Does anyone else start new projects by writing out a readme detailing how you want the tool to work? I think I've come to depend on this technique to help me clarify what exactly I want to build.

I like cooking without recipes. Tonight I decided to make a "fall-inspired" stir fry. Started with roasted butternut squash and improvised my way into a dish consisting of apples, chestnut mushrooms, kale, lentils, vegetable broth, butter, curry powder, cinnamon, "chicken-seasoned" seitan, and a bit of milk to keep things moist. I measured nothing.

Been stuck on my FoodBot project (now PyMeal) for a while. Have finally come unstuck after reading a couple detailed papers on the problem. Now the problem seems to be that I've been doing everything with shell scripts for so long that I've lost my intution about how to organize Python projects. 😬

Finally read William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. Glad to have read it, if only because I'd been meaning to for some time now. It certainly suffers from the "Seinfeld is unfunny" phenomenon common to most seminal works, unfortunately.

Feels good to resume my inventory project after a long hiatus. I've identified the bugs in sc-im as a friction point for myself, so I'm working to replace it in my workflow with a collection of shell scripts.
