I am a strong proponent of leaving this planet better behind than when I arrived on it. Thus to get the most bang for a lifetime my key focus is #longevity which I attempt to achieve with #nutrition specifically #plantbased.
Longevity is good and all as long as you are not frail and weak. Ideally would be to die young at an old age. Thus I incorporate tactics from #biohacking and #primalfitness. Additionally I am an advocate of #wildcrafting, which is a super set of #herbalism.
Studied many fields of science like maths or statistics, though the constant was always computer science.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer, though prefer to call myself a #SoftwareCrafter.
The goal of my side projects is to practice #GreenDevelopement meaning to create mainly static websites. The way the internet was intended to be.

Looking into welding a hollow steel d20 dice aka icosahedron.
There are three factors that are dependent on the final result:
- thickness of the steel sheet metal,
- length of the equilateral triangle, and
- diameter as twice the circumradius.
Looked at sheet metal thickness of 2-5 mm and triangle length of 75-200 mm where the end resulting weight is 0.78-13.9 kg without the reduction/addition of welding and using steel density of 0.008 g/mm^3. The diameter respected to the triangle length is 143-380 mm.

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs.
Law enforcement requests for user data from Apple, Google, and Meta mean Big tech can decide whether US authorities have access to your personal info, like location data.
Meanwhile, Europeans are starting to see US data services as “no longer safe”
Here's a resource collection of non-US services, and more:

I guess that "bare minimum" alt-text is better than no alt-text.
But giving people who can't view images high quality alt-text - a chance to enjoy an image properly - is (to me) just part of treating people kindly.
It takes me but a few seconds to type an extra sentence or two.
Bad alt text: "Cat"
Good alt text: "A tabby cat sitting on a windowsill, looking out the window with its tail curled around its body."
(Edit: I am thinking of those who could but don't, not those who can't.)

Welcome to Colorful Colorado. Turns out that all the colors except blue and brown were taken.
The two tools that caused the most frustration were #ffmpeg and #jq.
Just was not able to extract the album cover and merge it into the m4a file. So that feature has been put on hold.
And with jq the test function did not like it when the values are equal, so had to default to using == when using select.
What #spotify playlist download tools exist?
Wrote a small #bash script that requires this setup
--- Quick Start ---
1. Create public playlists on Spotify
2. Export them using https://exportify.net/
3. Copy the link to the playlists and download the files via https://spotidl.com
4. Create a directory, add the media files, and the playlist's CSV file.
5. Run the script and possibly install the missing dependencies.
And converts the mp3 files from spotidl to m4a files and parses the metadata from the csv from exportify.
This past season foraged about 2 kg of #hazelnuts. Today did the float test to weed out the empty shells and the yield dropped down to a total of 20 nuts, which equates to about 3% success rate assuming they aren't empty.
A great reminder of all the #free tools #developers have access to
Have an existing #python project that was setup using #pyenv and decided to migrate it to #uv. It doesn't help that I have 4 different virtual environment references and needed to build some of the libraries. Although the uv documentation has some examples on how to do it, there were a lot of bad practices on my side that I had to iron out.
I killed my #codeberg pages site by using the default branch name over `pages`.
Currently working on a #cli tool to aid in publishing #ssg sites onto #Codeberg pages.
It uses two #git repos over relying on #cicd with the production being saved on a git submodule. This will then ease the process of setting up custom domains.
It has the option to setup git hook pre-commit to prevent the development build to be published thus preventing the breakage of the site.
Currently it works with #hugo and plan to extend to other SSG tools.
Looking for a suitable name for the tool before publishing the code, any suggestions are welcome!
New to the #TimeShift app and made the initial mistake of taking a snapshot of the main user which in return took up more than 90% of the available space on the drive.
Later just took a snapshot of the root directory.
