My partner did exactly what I told him NOT to do with my cast iron pans while I was gone, refused to clean them, and suggested he simply buy me new ones 💀 I might not be vegan, but at least I’m not a lazy consumerist filling up landfills!

A layer of rust kept appearing no matter how much I scrubbed with water/vinegar, so I did an A/B test after burning the old seasoning off: reseason the comal as-is vs. reseason the pan after 5-hour water/vinegar bath. The color difference was significant!

Not me burning my eyes out on the only light mode page I have open right now, which happens to be the site I'm currently building.

How "I'll think about the dark mode color scheme later" comes to bite you in the ass.

🙈

Edit: I couldn’t take it anymore and quickly hacked in some dark colors.

The rpi-imager problem was a red herring, after switching to dd I still can't get a [non-mangled] CM0 dev board to boot.

With the CM0 dev board on the left I can enable RPIBOOT, apply power, run rpiboot, write an image/sync, remove power, disable RPIBOOT, apply power, LED turns on after a couple of seconds and it boots from the eMMC.

But following the same steps on the other board when powering up after disabling RPIBOOT the LED never turns on (it was on whilst writing the image) and it doesn't boot. Even writing the image from the working CM0 doesn't boot (reading back after a failed boot still has the original sha256sum).

Anyone have any pointers?

#mathober day 28: #recursion

"More Bubbles": openprocessing.org/sketch/2696

Okay, to be honest, this is an older sketch and I forgot if there even is a recursion in the code and if no one looks into the code, no one will find out. Most likely there is not.

I'm actually afraid of using recursions since I feel unsure of properly managing the termination conditions – BUT every recursion can be replaced by a loop and this would be my first choice anyway.

We did it! Yesterday, we got Emojisets on ATproto working 🎉🎊🥳

See them in action using our Astrolabe preview: astrolabe-editor.netlify.app/?

And explore the full record here: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:r2vpg2i

What makes doing this on ATproto unique is that this emojiset lives in my PDS so anyone can use it, and display it. And with Astrolabe, setting it up is just one small configuration away 👇💖

this is an appreciation post for #paperback. it's nice to know people still care and invest their time into developing light weight applications that simply works. We need more of that.

Can someone check on Palo Alto? I think they may have OD'd on the Kool Aid. These were all published today.

Working in cybersecurity is weird.

“Wolfie where do you get your threat intel?”
“Gay furries on Mastodon.”
“What?”
“Well it’s a decentralised social network…”
“No stop are you saying we’re prioritising our cybersecurity activity based on what furries are shitposting?”
“Yes.”
“…”
“You want the good cybersecurity, yes?”
“Yes.”
“Right, so this week between the jokes about Copilot now looking like a blob of jizz with a face, the big topics are…”
