Can I send content in Chinese?

当然！そして日本語でも！

Of course! And in Japanese too!

I was curious of testing the Omarchy distribution this week just because I had some free time to work on it. I saw a lot of hate around it and kind of get the point but so far at least for what I have been doing it wasn't terrible (at least at the point of writing this) although I am not trying to convince anybody to use it. But it just remember me how much do I hate MS.

I think a lot of the pull around Omarchy is you get a riced desktop out of the box? Personally, I wouldn't really consider it for a number of reasons but I do appreciate a nice looking desktop. If you want something similarly pretty but a bit more normal and less monolithic (who needs a whole 'distro' for what Omarchy provides anyway?) approach then I'd suggest Niri + Noctalia.

moved to a new city recently and going to a Movie club meetup tonight. nervous cause I'm a huge introvert but I gotta make friends some way.

How did it go?

It went really well, thanks for asking! I met some folks I could definitely get along with long term and had some overlapping interests apart from films. We watched T**** Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, that was a trip. (there's apparently a content filter)

Just three more commits left, but /usage ran out. Resets at 01:50, so I guess I am going to sleep.

continued:

Woke up during the night for a short trip to the loo, got 'resume’ going. All done in the morning. Ahh, coffee tastes better now!

Best pee ever!

I hate crawlers that don’t advertise they’re crawlers. ’n badly written. They don’t respect the canonical URLs so they keep getting themselves into a loop instead of actually crawling the site properly. They make the logs really hard to read. Can’t block them they’re distributed.

I am curious what an actual solution to this problem could be. Everything I've read about it feels like a bandaid — from robots.txt to cloudflare turnstile — there has to be a better way!

continued:

For this particular problem though, I feel like if the crawlers are coming from domestic / residential IP addresses and they lack a distinctive http header or user agent, it is indistinguishable from a denial of service attack and must be treated as such.

It would require permaban on IPs which would require permalogging of IPs in order to track them, and we are currently obfuscating them before hitting the DB with daily rotating salt so an anonymous user can’t be tracked. So we’d have to give up privacy/security :/

But as long as people can still use the site it's OK, right? Seems like the problem is often self-inflicted, either because the site is so bloated that answering even GET-requests is burdensome, or because they're trying to monetize the data and so must block non-paying scrapers.

…

My solution was to add an env var to disable logs from anonymous. At least now will be able to read the logs.

- Is there a way to get an atom version of the “for-you” feed? I’m guessing this is complicated by needing to be authenticated.

Exactly, it makes it way more complicated that's why it's not there yet. Not against the idea though.

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

Naturally, as soon as I return from a week of vacation, GitHub is having an outage 😑

I have something that usually builds, tests, and deploys under five minutes. It has been over two hours and forty eight minutes and it is still going on today... 🫣

Cancel and retry? Btw textlog builds, tests and deploys in ~45s 😁

…

I wanted to see what it would do. It got automatically canceled in six hours.

Can't spell "social coding" without "slo ci/cd"

What is a Textlog?

Mind's empty. Heart's full. Desires? Average.

Maybe neither of us will ever know when this was written. Live.

It’s easy, just add your own timestamp to posts 2:35 am Tuesday, 25 August 2026 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

No one would ever misuse this convention. This post was written on Thursday, 26 November 2009, 16:05 UTC+3:00

This is how one accidentally encourages the creation of timehash services which vend cryptographically provable timestamps....

I'm really interested to play around with textlog for a bit. I miss the space that once was Twitter and its constraints. Let's see if we find any users here ... ;)

how do i know my user id? i created by account 5hr after . im user # what?

Export/download your data under and you'll find it.

Any runners on here? I mostly consider myself a trail runner, but of course train on roads, too. Good for 1–2 races/year, more into running as a practice, a way to manage stress and stay fit.

5 min/km is pretty quick, as far as I'm concerned! My easy/forever pace is more like 8:30–9 min/mile right now.

It was only yesterday that I clicked on a Translate button to read a Japanese post. Today I see a Chinese post with English translation right below. Beautiful stuff.
