@mitch if you have the original in a format that lilypond can import, you can define your own StringTuning and output dulcimer tabs. Might need to transpose it up as I assume the dulcimer can't hit all the notes on the guitar fretboard, and maybe invert or thin out some chords to get them to one note per string, so not entirely an automated process but reasonably doable.
See e.g. the third example at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/custom-tablatures
@freemo okay, thanks! I'll start building a list today and hopefully have it ready the weekend (I use the Mastodon API, so rate limits constrain how fast I can populate the list).
I don't remember Michael by that name - to my recollection, it's been you, arteteco, rgx, me, trinsec, and barefootstache. Maybe he was before I got involved or I didn't know the real name behind one of the above handles. In any case, I'm very thankful for the help.
@freemo I still have my scripts. The real time commitment is manually verifying each "hit" based on my heuristics - I don't just ban people because the script thought they looked suspicious; there can be legitimate reasons to have an account that shares some features typically associated with spammers.
Anyway, I took some time off to see family about a year ago and by the time I came back the backlog was more than I could manage (at the end of 2022, Musk had started making unpopular changes at Twitter and daily influx was really high here). If I sent you a list of ~1k potential spam accounts later this week or early next, would you have the bandwidth to vet it? I think I can handle new accounts at the rate they're created, just not get through the backlog on my own.
@Infrapink sure! But the nineteen-day months are coprime to the seven-day weeks, so there's no synchronisation that gets disrupted. There's nothing like Easter where it always falls on a Sunday - it's almost always "N days after the equinox" with a couple exceptions that are "N days before the equinox" or "N days after the eighth new moon", whatever day of the week or weekend it turns out to be.
@Infrapink happy New Year to you too!
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any complaint a Baha'i would have with the days of the week changing. Baha'i dates are computed relative to the spring equinox and the eighth new moon following it. The seven-day week does exist, but it doesn't affect the placement of any holy days.

@mitch he definitely hit the nostalgia buttons there. Makes me sad for the old Flash content that never made it to modern formats, kinda like a childhood VHS you'll never view again. At some point you watched it, put it back in its cardboard sleeve, and that was the last time, only you didn't know it then.

@mitch it has one-time passwords as a second factor. What do you mean by passkeys, key-based authentication like you get in SSH? I'd like that.
@freemo historically, this is the sort of thing one used [conky](https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky) for. Maybe there's something more modern now.
@Colarusso at ten and eleven, my favourite books were Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy. I can't think of a reason not to recommend them.
I have an unopened soft drink can sitting in a fairly cold part of my home, and at night it's now cold enough to reduce the pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the can to almost exactly atmospheric pressure. Each time the heat cycled on or off, it caused a metallic ping as the slightly domed lid inverted to equalize the pressure.
Wasn't until this morning that I figured out where that noise was coming from.
@mitch you have to tarof a bit for politeness though.
Happy birthday @mitch!
Happy birthday @freemo!

It’s all fine as well to thank a veteran for their “service to the country”. But when was the last time you thanked an accountant in your local government for stewarding your tax dollars? When was the last time you thanked a teacher for creating a future American? When is the last time you thanked the guy that’s paving the road you drive on every day? Those folks spend their entire lives serving their country and, quite frankly, they are ignored. They all serve. Their contributions are many.

CFL is just insane.
@freemo it's great, for sure. I just have a funky network setup on account of some physical and historical limitations of the property. So I generally expect that, at some point, I'm going to have a segment of the network become unreachable until I go over with a patch cable and reconfigure some setting that got overwritten or needs to be renamed for the new version or whatever. My upgrade plan succeeding without any such contingencies feels very strange.
Just upgraded multiple nodes on my home network to the new @OpenWrt version... and nothing broke. I did my homework and tried to avoid known pitfalls, sure - but that never happens. It feels like the laws of nature are suspended today.
