The giving your toddler an ice cream cone to filling the kiddie pool and not making them change into swimsuits pipeline

I really hope I don’t associate Sean & Ro's birthdays with the upsetting events that transpired this year but I imagine it's going to be such a salient memory attached to very specific dates, I really don’t know how I'm going to avoid the natural association

For context, a family member I was once close to, went into palliative care and then passed. Which is it's own thing I'm not going to get into

The worst part of recommending someone software to help them manage admin tasks is that they get really mad at you when they ask you to help out and you go "This software is beyond a trashfire"

VirtualMin is better than cPanel, but trying to get me to figure out how to use a server using Virtualmin is pure pain

Wayland is just X that doesn't work yet or have documentation about how it's supposed to work, right?

@SaddestRobots But but but!
Why wouldn't it!?

Not even multiheaded devices, what if you just want to be able to force some things to go to a place and misbehave there in peace!

@HippyWizard i think someone went through and just removed the parameter from most of the functions, somehow

I saw a huge bumble bee in our garden today and took some time to explain to Shæ why it was something exciting to me

He looks at the bumble bee and says "he's so cutttee" 🥰

The problem with buying the new Marvel RPG is that I got excited about the last one and then it got destroyed before I could be excited

(Destroyed in the sense of "Remaining Product Must Be Pulped")

Congratulations, you solved Redactle #49!

Whoa, that was lucky

Wait - the chat for JJMumbleBot is a discord...?

Thinking about it very hard, the words "shit show" is one of the most horrifying idioms in English

1 Province Wide Power Outage we got caught in the middle of
1 Death in the family
3 Birthdays
5 day weekend

This has been a... long weekend

Discussing an online purchase from a company whose location unexpectedly turned out to be relevant: "In hindsight I guess their willingness to quote me a price in CAD was a pretty good sign that they weren't from USA"

Somehow our first ever family vacation with the kiddos ended up with a massive province wide power outage, no water, and then my grandmother went into palliative care so.... hmm...

Sean thinks it's because I'm cursed (thru no fault of my own, he insists)

Ug, I love writing software and software tools to support RPGs

I wish there was a way to support people in that action without money changing hands, and without weirdness

The boring things are what will save your bacon: password managers, physical security keys for 2FA, choosing to ignore SMS messages + random emails that seem a little off, verifying information out of band, building a security plan to protect important assets

My toddler is in that toddler mood where you blink and he's draining the bottle of baby shampoo all over the a piece of wooden climbing equipment. If I'm not careful I might be tangled in a web of tape

This is not shade on my toddler btw, he's just very busy and that's good and fine

I've done better absolute line deltas before, but that ratio might be a personal best.

I have a list of actions to do and dumped them all in a file and am just repeatedly running `head -1 list ` and this feels like I'm either being smart or dumb

If you don't know where you are, you don't know where you're going!

Today in easy to misuse interfaces: "Read the documentation and you'll get it subtly wrong in a way that causes an entirely different tool to dump core"

Figuring out how to not be helpful is one of the weirdest parts of being a lead.

I can't just help everyone immediately, I need to figure out how to help people by connecting them to the right people. I just want to do it!

Someone just asked me if I could do something "in code", and after confusion I found out that I they meant *VSCode*

New stickers from @J T ! Now anybody familiar with my interests will be able to tell my computer apart from all the other Macbooks out there. #openbsd #aikido
A badly lit photograph of a space grey Macbook Air that, for now (at least in better lighting), looks just like almost all the other space grey Macbooks in the world. On the Macbook is a pile of stickers, with one of them positioned in the corner where it will soon find a permanent home. The sticker art shows Puffy, the OpenBSD mascot, wearing a gi and hakama and ready for a night at the dojo.

@J T

is there a finite number of inifinities?

Oh no, I'm posting sad stories again.., I hope this isn't indicative of things to come

My birth story with Shæ, I was in a much better place and I wrote the story down and loved to tell people

My birth story with Ro, I was in a lot worse of a space, and I didn't want to remember every detail so I didn't write it down and hardly ever tell anyone

It kinda sucks that I won't have a stored memory for both of them because I wish it could be something celebratory in my mind for Ro too

I guess this is just how it goes... I wonder how many other people had similar experiences, if anyone ever did

Just a thought

If you're throwing a hot rooftop party in very warm temperatures for your business consider... serving non alcoholic drinks too... like water... to your employees

I had to learn how to do JOINs in mysql today

Can I never learn any more MySQL?

So apparently being on @silverwizard 's instance is a cheat code for any questions one has about Friendica. Thanks to the tip and doc pointer from @Tobias I should have proper alt text on this picture:

@silverwizard

Breaking my own rules by wrapping a script whose args I always forget in a second script that handles the args for me.

I feel like this is gonna cause me *more* problems in the future

The same force within me that blows the world away with fireworks and makes music light up also creates the most vivid and terrifying images in my head that are so powerful it can keep me up at night and I don't know how to resolve that kind of dichotomy in my feelings towards it, this incredibly strong part of me 🙁

Oh...

I guess my Mac has decided to not read USB devices today

No, I didn't want to read my calendar, or contacts. Definitely didn't wanna use an external mouse.

I would not have predicted this would ever happen, but I've found a visual bell configuration that I actually like.

I apparently need to find where Friendica allows specifying alt text. Image description: A screen grab of the MacOS terminal bell config; all of "Audible bell", "Visual bell", and Visual Bell's subfield "Only when sound is muted" are checked.

Friendica is using BBCode for formatting of the postings @Dave for the ALT text of images, you can place the text in the middle of the [img][/img]-Tags. E.g.

[img=http://example.com/img/this_is_an_example.jpg]And this would be the ALT text for the image used on mouse over etc.[/img]

Have a look at your nodes BBCode documentation for more information about the implementation of the BBCode in Friendica, and things like the "abstracts" which other parts of the Fediverse use for CW.

Sponge Art

I love exploring art techniques with children, especially toddlers. It's probably my favourite activity to do right now..

Today we painted sponges and dabbed them on the page to create a stippling effect

As a dad my irony poisoning means I say things like, "There's an old saying, bear is driving, how can this be?"

I decorated a cake for a toddler!
