#introduction post:
I'm Peter; I'm a techie sort, specializing in Python, Django, Linux, Mac, Raspberry Pi and Arduino. I also make fonts as a noddy hobby, including "VT323" at the Google font library.
*I'm looking for new employment/gig opportunities.*
I'm also a fan of creative fooding, cats, growing green things, photography, architecture, etc. Generally mostly leftist, definitely non-theist. I blog (irregularly) at phoikoi.io, and try to be nice to people (regularly).
Hey y'all!
I have a general #PeerTube instance for creators & vloggers & recorders of random fun stuff at https://share.tube
If you're an active & supportive creator on this instance or another please feel free to DM me for an invite with your desired login, email & I'll try to accommodate. At the moment, i'll stop with the first 20 people to respond with my current budget to help y'all decentralize further. Please note the moderation policies I boost/host by for content.
huh seems alright
Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
Hey when I google for a tutorial, or a brief on something, know what I don't want? A YouTube video. I don't want a long, slow, ad-filled and unedited video full of ummms and uhhhhs explaining something a handful of screen shots and a few hundred words could do.
@dansup When you take VC, you sell the company. No ifs, no buts. We keep getting surprised as the sale usually just takes several years to complete. C’est la “exit”.
This is why VC investment is incompatible with sustainable businesses with social missions. And why I keep harping on about how we must support projects that benefit the commons from the commons (https://ar.al/notes/encouraging-individual-sovereignty-and-a-healthy-commons/)

Hey, you can get @viTekiM 's R-COIL for $2 right now.

R-COIL is "what if Asteroids were 870% cooler and had particle effects?". It's really fun.
It also has a mode where you don't have to worry about lives or scoreboards, you can just shoot asteroids and alien ships to your heart's content. It's great stress relief.
If you've ever had frustrating moments because an #SQL #database SELECT statement seemed to be defying all logic, perhaps this blog post will help you. Sometimes the order that SELECT clauses are actually executed in may not be very intuitive. https://phoikoi.io/2018/05/30/sql-select-order-of-execution.html

Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.
I was going to write a whole python script using Pillow just to generate an image to include with the previous toot to show off the colors, but sanity prevailed just in the nick of time.
Love this palette (f90 936 690 369); jahst goahjuss. Yah, I'm weird like that.
You know you’re having a serious bit of insomnia when not even COBOL reference manuals make you drowsy at 3am.
The eight-hour day is an anachronism when at current levels of productivity most people should be working only three. It was an achievement more than a hundred years ago when Uruguay made it the law in 1915, but it's not a great thing to not make any progress in a hundred years.
The show must move on. #MayDay
“I have brought wheat crackers, granola cereal and corn meal from home and there’s a fair amount in all of them,” FDA chemist Richard Thompson...wrote that broccoli was the only food he had “on hand” that he found to be glyphosate-free. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/30/fda-weedkiller-glyphosate-in-food-internal-emails
