One thing about me: once I get back on my bullshit it's really hard to get back off again
especially annoying: I like the *concept* of udisks2 very much. Non-root users should be able to mount and eject media! Not being able to do it easily from the cli or script it is painful.
there's a lot to dislike about snaps (and other fake filesystems), but the bit that bugs me most day-to-day is how unusable it makes the past 30+ years of storage management tools. Using "df" to figure out how much space you have left? Let's say you're Being Modern and want to use 'udisksctl dump' to figure out what drives you've got? Good luck sorting through fifteen screens of extraneous bullshit to find what you want!
I have blöggen about my Peer Gynt quilt. Read here for inside info on the design process and more close-up pics. #quilting #blog https://www.icemoonprison.com/blog/?p=282
I refuse to recognize any court that does not have a giant poster of JUSTICE on the wall

I've been taking a few minutes every day to at least skim the new WH briefing room:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/
There's rarely more than a half-dozen items a day, and it gives a good overview what's going on. Much more accessible than the congressional record
(https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record).
Holy shit, listening to "Heavy Metal Kids" and it's blowing my mind that this is actually early Kraftwerk. How is this even possible

The Pi micro datasheet is fun 'By sheer coincidence, the interpolators are extremely well suited to SNES MODE7-style graphics routines. For example,
on each core, INTERP0 can provide a stream of tile lookups for some affine transform, and INTERP1 can provide
offsets into the tiles for the same transform.'
Just did that thing where I was planning out when I could get to NYCR to borrow a crimp tool, when I could get back to return it, whether we had enough RJ45 connectors left etc before I realized I could just order this all online and it would get here before I'd even be able to pick up the crimper. I want to reduce my ecological footprint, but sometimes you just need to get shit done.
Looking after two small children during a pandemic. Squishes entire interior life into last two hours of the day. Presume that everything here is written in a distracted haze. Hardware, software, linocut, trying to build a website after a couple decades away.
