finished a couple things this week - a couple art pieces, and also the first issue of a fun little group zine project called the Little Library Magazine. It's only 8 half-letter size pages plus the cover, but it's a start, and the contributions were really sweet.

Learned how to do a pamphlet stitch, and dropped off some copies in a couple of Little Libraries in the neighbourhood. Who knows what'll come of it, but it's worth a try :)

spouse and i finally sat down and watched Stop Making Sense - both of us are Talking Heads fans but had never seen it, one of those things that you mean to get to at some point. We had pretty high expectations and weren't disappointed - the production was all super punk/DIY/performance art, just genius the whole way through

just watched 'The Substance' and wow, great movie

2025-08-24 05:38 UTC

best part, though, is digging up the small internal SSD drives (60g, 120g), ripping out the guts of an external USB HDD where the drive died a while ago, and frankensteining a pretty zippy setup with the pi that I've been using for retro gaming emulators. Discourse was not my first choice but if I can run this thing on like 6 or 7 watts I'll be pretty happy

2025-08-24 05:07 UTC

Offered to admin an online space for a discussion group. So far have installed PieFed (young, buggy, not private; even the 'private instance' mode is not actually private, it's more of an anti-bot mode - and 'allowlist federation' is not robust whatsoever) and Flarum (seems ok I guess?), now installing Discourse

2025-08-10 03:59 UTC

Switched from miniflux to freshRSS.

I've started to use RSS partly as a first-stop method for search, querying the articles in the database rather than using a web search engine. Problem with miniflux is that the search results won't appear in reverse chronological order, known issue and there are open reports from a couple years ago on their GitHub.

FreshRSS is harder to install and configure, the interface feels a little clunkier, and the default feed display is ridiculously dense, visually - but it will order search results by date/time, and besides, the CSS can be tweaked. So after a couple hours of tinkering, it's started to feel less claustrophobia-inducing. Reasonably happy with it :)

2025-07-28 06:55 UTC

lol ok so it's a good thing I at least knew what hashtags to use on the fediverse, because a couple of OSM folks were kind enough to correct a few things:

Anyhoo, the query link in the previous post should have all the proper info once I finish fixing my mistakes, although you do have to click the 'Run' button to get the map result :)

2025-07-28 03:16 UTC

Ok so it's not clear how to make the fruit trees show up in a regular OpenStreetMap session, but here's a link that shows the query results for the way I tagged them:

2025-07-28 02:18 UTC

One neat thing about riding a bike now is that I've already stumbled on two new-to-me fruit trees that seem suitable for urban foraging.

Then I was like, wouldn't it be cool to map these?

Well, OpenStreetMap.org has a method for tagging them:

natural=tree

and then since I don't know the trees' owners, but it seems OK to grab a piece of fruit, I've used a 'source' tag which, as far as I can tell, is used to indicate the need for verification, so:

source:foraging=permissive

and then I've used a note="pear tree" (eg) for the type of fruit. Might add some other shrubs around town as well with natural=shrub ;)

2025-07-24 07:03 UTC

have been meaning to update my config for the iocaine AI poisoner software

anyway, finally did that, so now the markov text generator pulls from a paper about cryptocurrency fraud, wikipedia's article on 'GPT', a long explainer on the Trump-Epstein relationship, and an article about the 'banned DEI words' from early this year.

Also attempting to add in some prompt injections to the template file. Who knows if this is making a difference. One can hope!

2025-07-23 05:48 UTC

posted about this on the fediverse also:

Sold my car to the scrapyard last week. I was driving it maybe once a month, and need to move large objects even more rarely. My spouse still has a car though, so my life hasn't *drastically* changed.

But! I did pull the old steel 10-speed out, pumped up the tires, spent several hours cutting out the rusted seat post, replaced a tire, patched the tube that I pinched while replacing the tire, cleaned off a ton of grime, re-lubricated things, replaced the brake pads, and adjusted the seat height, pedal straps, brakes, and derailleurs. Still needs some touch-up paint and new bar tape, but really thrilled so far. It's a fun project :)

2025-06-10 18:59 UTC

Canadian govt getting a little more surveillance-oriented so figured it was time to actually sort out a way to proxy my home server w/ a VPS, because fuck you Carney

Main complicating factor (well, other than having to learn what search terms I needed to use in the first place) was making sure I could not only have TLS terminate on the machine I physically control, but also continue to get the source IPs so that I can run rate-limiting and AI poisoning.

Well after a *lot* of struggling, almost everything is working great and I've closed off a bunch of ports on my router. Tailscale + HAProxy + Proxy Protocol on VPS, to Tailscale + Nginx on home server. Will do a proper post soon

2025-05-21 05:15 UTC

just finished a draft of a piece i'm pretty happy with, but wow was it ever a roller coaster to figure out what needed to be said. sent it to a few comrades for feedback and will look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. It's about AI, but the aim was to synthesize a bunch of stuff into a (hopefully) coherent analysis?

Genuinely exhausted from all the mental energy it took over the last couple weeks. I don't really drink, like, ever but maybe this is a good time to have one :)

2025-05-09 05:50 UTC

so many of the games & puzzles on gemini are beautifully implemented. my spouse and I play spellbinding together nearly every day. we're also enjoying 'where in the world'. here's today's effort:

well, we avoided a majority government here in Canuckistan, probably the best realistic outcome tbh, even if I would have liked to see more NDP/green/bloc seats.

doing my best to push where I can to get climate back at the forefront of discussions. Carney is nowhere close to being a Green New Deal type guy, however much people like to project their own ideals onto him. But we urgently need real transformation, and his market-based solution shit is so insufficient for our predicament. Dude is a status quo dinosaur talking fossil fuel expansion. I just don't get what we're doing anymore, it's maddening.

2025-04-24 23:05 UTC

Dutch baby from Ottolenghi's 'Comfort' - really good stuff

2025-04-24 04:26 UTC

Part of me can't wait for the Canadian election to be over and done with, and another part of me dearly wishes there was more time to get people to seriously examine what it is that Carney stands for.

I get *why* it's happening, but watching so many people run into the arms of Goldman Sachs Finance Dad is just so demoralizing. Yeah, he's better than Poilievre. No, that is not a high bar. In some ways Carney might be worse, given that so many centrists/progressives are completely unwilling to entertain the notion that he's anything less than heaven sent. How do we effectively oppose him, if that's the starting point?

2025-04-14 04:08 UTC

don't believe everything you read on the internet, clearly; one of those tutorials claimed that git pull is the same as push and fetch combined, but it doesn't seem to work like that?

Anyway, I guess it's git add -A, git commit -m "[message]", git push, git pull ... unless I learn something else in the meantime :))

2025-04-13 23:59 UTC

cheated a little on this week's Slow Web Sunday (checked Bsky) but also fired up Lynx and looked up a few tutorials on basic terminal commands for git. Now I don't need to do all this scp stuff with my capsule and remember what I updated last and where. Just git commit -m "minor update", git pull, git pull on the other machine, bing bang boom, why didn't I learn this before!

2025-04-03 18:47 UTC

Thanks again to -fab- for reviewing the spec compliance of this tinylog. I now have their seal of approval :)

So if anyone wants a basic *spec compliant* tinylog page python script that lets you add entries from within your gemini client, and works great with gmcapsule (and presumably other servers w/ cgi capability), feel free to grab it and make it your own.

2025-04-03 01:42 UTC

Been neglecting my many online projects over the last month or so - no blog posts, no anti-data-centre site updates, barely any coding lessons. Haven't had the mental energy for it, unfortunately.

Probably also spending too much time watching every development in US & Canadian politics - or maybe the appropriate amount of time, heh - either way, the anxiety and stress ends up being exhausting. Took a break for a day and suddenly had no idea what people on social media were talking about!

Plus side: I have three pieces of artwork nearly finished, and I'm most of the way through that friggin Mark Carney book, with a pretty clear idea of what I want to say about it. So that's OK.

2025-04-02 22:00 UTC

Was nice of @fab to offer help with questions about the tinylog specification - this entry is a test, post-updated code, to see if my changes bring this tinylog into compliance :)

2025-03-23 04:19 UTC

Made the regrettable decision to commit to reading (new Canadian PM) Mark Carney's book ... although knowing that I'm doing this in order to critique it makes it slightly easier to get through.

So far, two of four sections in, there aren't any major surprises; Carney seems to recognize that market fundamentalism has gone too far, but appears to believe that we can address this largely by encouraging people to be more civic-minded.

I'm sure there must be more to it than that - or at least I really hope so! But for a book like this to barely even mention the New Deal? That's worrying.

2025-03-14 18:00 UTC

can't believe I'd never heard of the documentary television director Adam Curtis before. Someone mentioned their name in social media replies and I went and looked up their work...

watched the teaser trailer for the series 'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace' and literally said "holy shit" out loud when it finished. Then watched the first episode.

Great stuff. Deep, creative, aesthetically risky, and still extremely approachable. Felt like getting a meal from a food truck run by a renowned chef. Or hearing a new Thee Oh Sees album for the first time.

I'm told I should start with "Hypernormalisation", so that's this evening.

2025-03-09 05:25 UTC

figured out the certs in offpunk - the software had been telling me i should type in

'<certname>@<url>'

but I didn't realize that this really meant I should enter

'go <certname>@<url>'

so that's solved at least :) Might also export a few of my certs from Lagrange and figure out how to import them to offpunk, that way I can play games using those identities, or write these tinylogs, etc.

also installed Lynx, which I've never actually tried. It's surprisingly usable. Tempted to create some sort easter egg for anyone that visits my blog with lynx? Still thinking about what that might be, though

2025-03-04 07:17 UTC

installed offpunk after reading ploum's recent post about offline browsing. Could't seem to figure out how to use a cert though, was thinking that if I created a new plant on Astrobotany that it might help me keep coming back, but that requires a cert obviously ...

so then I tried AV-98 just to see how a different terminal browser behaves - different problem with creating certs: it seems like the program takes 6 arguments but is generating 7 when it goes through the cert generation prompts. Very odd. Will take another run at these another time.

2025-02-22 01:14 UTC

finally updated the repo for this tinylog with the pagination update; should have done this ages ago but hadn't dealt with an edge case. That's cleaned up now, and the repo has been moved to Codeberg:

2025-02-17 04:54 UTC

well, Meta's scraper bot has been happily slurping up the poison content - lucky for them, it's actually not super aggressive, requesting only about 100 pages over the last couple of days. Even so, it's nice to be *actively* resisting, even in this small way.

2025-02-13 04:10 UTC

Pretty psyched about deploying iocaine (AI poisoner) to my weblog

Used 3 text sources for the markov-chain garbage generation: the bitcoin whitepaper, an article about SBF's sentencing, and a Europol paper about cryptocurrency-enabled money laundering and fraud. Lol.

a sample:

2025-02-11 00:18 UTC

come to think of it, what I'd really like best is to just have a couple python scripts that cram html into page templates. Good excuse to dust off the python tutorials that have fallen by the wayside...

2025-02-10 22:36 UTC

recently rebuilt my weblog with 11ty - but unlike the blundervalley.ca site, I didn't use a template, and instead just did it from scratch using a basic tutorial to get started. I actually like this method way more; was finding it hard to feel my way around even a simple template.

Really the main advantage I was hoping for is automating tedious stuff, like the list of recent posts etc. Really just need to get the RSS feed automated, and after that's sorted, there's not much else I'm desperate to add. Web mentions might be neat, I guess?

Anyway. I feel like these tools could be so much simpler. Although maybe that's what Ghost, etc are for.

2025-01-15 21:43 UTC

still haven't posted about finishing The Right to Oblivion by Lowry Pressly. It's a fantastic book, and I have a lot of thoughts about it, but I need more time to really put them all together into something that does justice to the book's ideas.

In the meantime, I highly recommend the book :)

2025-01-02 00:46 UTC

OK I have the bare bones of an 11ty site up and running:

will also do a regular gemlog post about it shortly ;)

2024-12-24 06:56 UTC

so, now I'm in the static site generator rabbit hole... eleventy is pretty cool and I'm modifying a template! New project is a good excuse to learn a new piece of tech, right?

But also got a lot of research done for the anti-AI site, so this post is my promise to myself that I'm gonna get that done asap, like, as soon as I learn how to get thumbnail versions of each post's banner image on the main page lol

2024-12-18 06:21 UTC

fuck it, if no one's already organizing opposition to this proposed gigantic gas-powered AI data centre monstrosity in Alberta then I'll do it myself!

2024-12-06 00:44 UTC

trying to get tootik running on the same server as a bunch of other things. it's *mostly* working, but I think there's some sort of port issue or TLS Cert conflict and I can't figure it out.

2024-12-01 09:02 UTC

cool - just added pagination to this tinylog :))

2024-12-01 07:17 UTC

Astonishing what ADHD meds can do once you find a dose that's about right - and not, for example, double what you really need. Pretty sure I've read more books in the last couple months than I did in the previous decade, maybe longer. Mind still wanders off pretty regularly, but not, like, after every few sentences anymore. A relief, but also a bit sad, since my life might've taken a very different path had I been diagnosed as a teen or young adult.

Now, somewhat paradoxically, it's the desire to make up for lost time, and frantically consume, that is the biggest barrier to getting in the mental flow for an extended period. Need to let go of that. I can't change the past.

2024-11-22 03:02 UTC

added matrix to my server last night. Bunch more fiddling than I'm used to, but seems to be working!

Bit of a memory hog though, considering how little I'm doing with it. Might see if it's possible to reduce what it's getting allocated?

2024-11-20 19:31 UTC

Have been thinking about doing two things lately, that I might try to combine into one:

first one that I've been mulling over is to create a very crude 'relay' for Gemini, something in-between Antenna and BBS, like, Antenna but you can subscribe to topics. Explicit opt-in, and moderated.

The other - I've been wanting to read Søren Mau's 'Mute Compulsion' for a while, but probably need the social pressure of a reading group to do it, and also my grasp of Marxist theory is rudimentary at best.

So maybe a dedicated relay that requires a login (or really, a persistent identity) to view the messages?

or could just use matrix for that, and make the relay thing seperately

2024-11-08 18:41 UTC

Hopped back into CS50x recently and loving it again. Python is amazing to learn after C. Even typing it is physically easier, by a mile. SQL is neat too!

It's gradually become clear as to the corporate influence over the curriculum though, especially with the Spotify stuff in Week 7's 'listener aura' calculation, something that reduces the art of music to a list of metrics, and makes the experience of music listening into a (no pun intended) purely instrumentalized relationship, where music is only there to serve as a tool to boost a listener's focus, productivity, energy, etc.

Sure, we can and do use music in this way - but the real magic happens when music defies our expectations.

2024-11-06 20:51 UTC

Struggling with this probably-stupid question about allyship. Is it fair of me (a mostly-straight, mostly-cis white guy) to hide behind a pseudonym online, given that many queer, trans, and BIPOC folks who do use their real names may risk becoming targets simply for existing online, and/or speaking up on their own behalf?

No doubt there's lots of possible reasons for using a pseudonym, even for people with similar privilege, not trying to handwave that away entirely. I just worry that personally, maybe I'm not really standing shoulder-to-shoulder with less-privileged folks if I do.

tbh I should consider it a luxury to be able to ask this question. Which means maybe I already know the answer? Hm.

2024-11-01 14:44 UTC

Meredith Whittaker is 100% right here, and we've done basically nothing about it, in just over year since she called it out:

and I'm tempted to put it in even more explicit terms: these still-accelerating, otherwise un-recoupable AI infrastructure investments - gen AI, for instance, is losing these companies billions with no path to profitability - are poised to become the fully realized merging of state surveillance/control with corporate surveillance capitalism.

A terrifying thought. Frankly I'm not sure if governments still have enough power to prevent it if they wanted to. Just look at Musk's antics.

2024-11-01 14:17 UTC

(actually it was when I was uploading a recipe but whatevs)

2024-11-01 04:04 UTC

ah crappity crap - when I uploaded my server's files from my laptop (to add a gemlog post) I overwrote my recent tinylog entries.

silly me. time to make a cron job for backups I guess

2024-09-27 03:55 UTC

watched a bunch of Computerphile videos on encryption today, trying to get up to speed on what the story might be with proposed E2EE on the Fediverse and how it relates to Meta's goals, whatever they may be.

Not quite sure what to think yet, but it seems like Meta's doing everything they can to resist real interop vis-à-vis the EU's Digital Markets Act

2024-09-25 07:25 UTC

Wild fediverse news today.

Looks like Meta et al are directly funding Evan P and Tom Coates at this point. TechCrunch reported that the Social Web Foundation has close to $1M in funding. The only firm number I've found is the Ford Foundation's $50k grant from February, which is listed on that org's site.

Seeing a *bunch* more people openly naming Evan as the problem. It feels like a revelation that all these folks felt that way, but it's also completely unsurprising, somehow? I think they maybe just needed unambiguous confirmation that he's selling the whole place out. Well, it's really hard to pretend otherwise at this point.

2024-09-21 19:07 UTC

LMFAO

2017 Wired article

2024-09-20 06:52 UTC

there was a positive development regarding the California legislation mentioned in the Open Earth blog pieces, will do a quick write-up soon :)

2024-09-18 01:53 UTC

just showed my spouse how to get f-droid and Lagrange on their android phone, now we can compete on spellbinding when they're away next week :))

2024-08-29 02:55 UTC

ended up just reinstalling manjaro on the desktop after too many battles with dependencies and backports with Debian, at least when it came to getting wine, yabridge, pipewire, bitwig, PlugData, and ffado all working happily together.

now that everything's running again: bitwig is such a fun piece of software, way too many knobs to twiddle. always had trouble finishing things though, so as fun as the endless tweaking is, it's also dangerous ...

2024-08-26 04:04 UTC

Someone on Lemmy recommended the movie Bacurau (2019) recently - watched it yesterday and it was fantastic.

It's a Brazilian film set 'a few years in the future', and the person recommending it suggested going in with no knowledge of the story or themes. It's solid advice; the mystery is a big part of the experience.

Enjoy!

2024-08-21 03:40 UTC

got annoyed by another case of cyclical dependencies in manjaro on my desktop and, because i am a masochist, decided to try switching to debian 13 instead of learning how to deal with cyclical dependencies

Took a bit, but most things are working now, except plugdata, which i even tried building myself; it seemed to compile OK, and mostly seems to function, except the window freezes when i click the 'load a patch' button... yet i *can* open a patch from the recently loaded list?!

No idea how to go about troubleshooting that one. Missing library or something? Zero clue.

On the plus side, I learned about winetricks and got a couple really nice-sounding vst synths working :))

2024-08-16 05:06 UTC

finished listening to the audiobook version of Kohei Saito's "Slow Down" yesterday.

Good book, inspiring. I did struggle a bit with its criticisms of Modern Monetary Theory, however. Saito shows how a common critique of Marx's thought - that it amounts to 'capitalism without capitalists' - does not fairly represent Marx's thinking, particularly toward the end of his life.

So when a similar accusation is made re: MMT, it rings a little hollow, because I see MMT primarily as a set of insights, even if some of its main proponents do make specific policy recommendations that might warrant the critique (e.g. an emphasis on productivity).

Will keep thinking about it, I guess.

Not sure if this is an acceptable workaround:

I'd like to use paragraph breaks in this tinylog, but 2 consecutive newlines isn't within the spec. So I'm just adding a single space-character on the empty line.

Reasonable? Hope so

2024-08-09 04:33 UTC

I'm almost certain that a couple of guests at the bitcoin 2024 conference 'newsdesk' were running a mini pump and dump out in the open, by intentionally spreading misinfo on-air about a 'special guest' being on the way, and claiming it was the reason for the delay of Trump's speech.

One even claimed to know who it was going to be! There was never a special guest.

But Polymarket, a crypto betting/predictions market, went *wild* with trades on the question "Will Elon Musk give a speech at the Bitcoin conference?". (Every single trade is visible - lol, crypto - so it's pretty easy to spot a few accounts that bet tens of thousands of $ *against* the rumours in a ~30min span.)

2024-08-06 06:21 UTC

Minor accomplishment today: finally deployed the craftsperson website that I've been building almost entirely from scratch - except for the javascript lightbox.

Had been planning to avoid JS entirely, but the tradeoff here seemed worth it, given how image-heavy the site needs to be. Sure, it doesn't look like a professional web designer built it, but it's got a relatively unassuming vibe because of that.

Either way, it's a visual upgrade over the wordpress site I put together a few years ago. Plus it loads *fast*, without any cloud infrastructure whatsoever. Feels good!

2024-08-03 04:08 UTC

GoToSocial has added a BUNCH of stuff recently, just upgraded to one of the latest snapshot builds from 0.16.0 stable. Reply controls, remote media size limit... need to find a front-end that can do all these things, but even still. Good things happening there

2024-07-21 04:07 UTC

Still waiting for the next blog topic to present itself to me. Was thinking that a few words about the upcoming bitcoin conference would be fun, but I don't know if there's much new to say about that whole phenomenon.

The fact that Trump is headlining it is a new wrinkle - and yet somehow it's the most obvious thing that could have happened. Scams inspiring feverish devotion, stringing the followers along with the never-quite-realised return (or as they might call it, a "retvrn") to some imagined state of glory, while mostly just helping a select few insiders? In retrospect it was inevitable they'd cross paths.

2024-07-13 08:36 UTC

Hmm... maybe I shouldn't get ahead of myself with the coding stuff - took me quite a while just to chop the python code for my bookmarks page into a bunch of functions and put them in a 'helpers' module!

Still a bit confused when it comed to variables' scope too.

In fairness, it's a huge PITA to debug things in a gemini browser, as opposed to in the terminal or an IDE etc; at least in those you get errors with relatively useful information. Not especially proud of how long it took me to find a capitalization discrepancy between a function definition and a function call, lol

2024-07-11 20:34 UTC

Now that I'm spending more time in this space (tbh largely due to the daily games!), and having hacked together this tinylog and a bookmarks page w/ CGI scripts in Python, I'm getting curious about how to build other stuff on here.

Like, is there an existing method for private messages over the gemini protocol? I feel like it should be possible, but I don't know enough about how TLS/DNS/etc work to know if it would actually be secure? Will keep reading. I feel like the eventual outcome is building an activityPub server similar to tootik that does what I want it to (and, more importantly, doesn't do what I don't want it to). Programming skills are a *long* way off though

2024-07-09 07:21 UTC

ok all fixed (hopefully!)

2024-07-09 06:38 UTC

whoops

just found out there's a set of standards for tinylogs that I'm clearly not following, will have to correct that lol. Mostly it's the date format, but the paragraph breaks within entries might be a problem too

tinylog rfc (https://codeberg.org)

2024-07-05 06:16 UTC

Still haven't figured out who '乙' is (like, if they have a capsule or whatever) but I get the sense there's a bit of a WordTunneler rivalry emerging between us, and it's fun :)

Ok maybe 'rivalry' is a bit optimistic, since they're *really good* at it and they keep spanking me ... but still. Nice to have a bit of friendly competition. Just wish I knew a bit more about the person behind the Unicode character!

2024-07-04 06:03 UTC

My fediverse feed is now full of US politics, most of which is people arguing over what is real - for instance, I've seen:

And loads more. We're through the looking glass now. *That's* scary.

2024-06-29 21:00 UTC

Was just reminded of a podcast episode I listened to while doing research for recent posts --

in 2021, Kim Stanley Robinson went on a "green cryptocurrency" podcast to talk about his book The Ministry for the Future, and it was hard to listen to, but bless Stan for trying to change people's minds!

2024-06-28 07:38 UTC

Wow, the debate was incredibly painful to watch!

Despite calling each other names, they did seem to agree on a bunch of stuff, e.g. they like golf, don't respect sex workers, and support Israel's horrific genocide against Palestinians.

Joe Biden was a complete disaster, and despite it all, there were still mainstream Democrats in my Fediverse feed talking about how CNN should have been doing fact-checking, and how Biden has a cold.

Just in complete denial of what happened up there on the stage. Oh, Trump tells lies? Yeah no shit. Your guy could barely put a sentence together, and no, it was not his stutter. The "vote harder" folks are beyond help at this point.

2024-06-27 06:26 UTC

just testing from my phone as well...

Suh-weet: here's my first official tinylog entry.

This page is built dynamically by a python script which reads a csv file - which in turn is generated by a separate script that prompts for user input, then prepends the time & date to each log.

Not super complicated really - but one thing I'll have to get used to is remembering to use 'shift-enter' for a linebreak, when writing these logs in Lagrange.

Anyway... kind of in between blog post projects right now, so some coding practice seemed like a good idea. Fun!
