ChatGPT has definitively passed the Turing test.

I made a site using . The last step was to remove the . But I still use Shadow to start up a local server and explore my static site in-browser. It works nicely as a quick server.

With all due respect to projects like cinelog, #OpenSource is just the first step -- #MovieReviews should be both free and #decentralized. In the absence of a solution like bookwyrm for movies, I'm doing it the old-fashioned way with the #moviestodon hashtag.

I just had an unexpected error with a VPN script I run every day. I was re-using a shell that was in a directory of a project and got a NPE and "java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory." It never occurred to me that Babashka might care about my pwd... I suspect I've been missing something valuable.

each day I have a "personal study" item. Part of it is daily reading of a text file book. I bookmark my progress and then link to the bookmark from the orgmode entry; each day I just follow that link, update the bookmark when I finish reading, and the next day I can just follow day's link to pick up my reading. With .el speed reading, btw.

Next stop: figure out WHY. Suspect: I'm doing something that the server's PostGres version is bad at?

@freemo @tech.lgbt oi. Doesn't seem like anything there should have led to a server block, or to it continuing

@freemo @tech.lgbt so bizarre that the tech.lgbt person would have bad behavior against their namesake group...

@freemo why is there a disconnect so that I am having trouble following or being followed by a friend on the @tech.lgbt instance? I hear that might be on people's "bad" list?

are a super power I never hear mentioned, and BookmarksPlus is a full-blown application that highlights and brings all that power to your finger tips. Annotations, URLs, directories, files (like my PDF library), and full integration with dired. emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPl
