About National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) building in Hyderabad, India.

Well, at least they kept the facade. I live in one of three new connected buildings built behind salvaged historical building facades, but ours were built into the old facades - integrated.



I am such a sucker. I will cry every time for this kind of heart-warming story.

Okay, so. My dorky #DevSecOps-learning ass wants to run Dependency-Track (dependencytrack.org/), but it specifically checks whether it can allocate 4GB of RAM on startup and dies if it can't. I've run out of pi 4s at home and yikes, I do not want to pay for a VPS with that much memory for playing with a single utility.

...so how can I fake out the Java/docker setup to get it to run under a different amount of memory? I don't care if it's slow. Can I... use disk swap or something? ๐Ÿง




A shoutout for John Hassink who just dropped an excellent MSX+FM (AY-3-8910+YM2413) arrange of the Chrono Chross theme. He gets some very good sounding instruments out of some rather limited hardware:

Here's my (relatively) portable #famicom (#nes) #chiptune setup.

I can power it with a portable USB battery and it packs away easily into a small bag. Great way to get my #2A03, #MIDINES fix on the go!

For other #chipmusic folks, what's your favourite (relatively) portable setup?

For other #micromusic or #electronicmusic people, what about you all?

The only paid one I have is sinevibes.com/korgodds/ And it's really powerful.

Proba-B by Tweeeeeak is similar in a way, and pretty cool too. github.com/tweeeeeak/nts

There's also a pluck one, and of course, a bunch of FX (an autopan, some good reverb). I really don't remember the name of most of them, but I can make a list of my favorite this week-end if you're interested!

Yeah, I have to say that I have been unable to code anything for it.

in reply to Gala

@gala Yeah, if it's not too much trouble, I'd love to hear about some of your favourites!

There's so much micro-aggressions on here against black people. The thing with micro-aggressions is that it quickly piles up.

Mastodon culture, yes still on the "nice side", whatever that means, suffers from this still.

Any time you deny that there's anti-blackness on here, it's because you just aren't equipped to see it. Heck I'm not equipped to see it yet. So I'm going to defer to someone else.

Twitter, Musk, FTC

Musk might have screwed himself over royally with yesterday's new feature stunt: techdirt.com/2022/11/10/does-tโ€ฆ.

Remember, the FTC doesn't play around. Even Facebook couldn't avoid a $5 billion fine. Even an Uber exec couldn't avoid federal criminal charges. This isn't the SEC we're talking about.

welcome to the fediverse! ๐Ÿ‘‹

when you post threads could you please set the toots following the first as unlisted so they don't take up excessive space on the local timeline. It also helps read a thread as the expanded view will display toots from oldest to newest versus the timeline which lists them newest to oldest

excited to see what conversations you may spark in the local timeline ๐Ÿ˜

I feel like consoles have exclusives now only from each other with the PC being the middleground that gets almost everything, which is awesome!

so, while we're still debating all this cw stuff and reminiscing about how bipoc people have been and are pushed off the fedi, please, take a moment and watch this video:

content warning for violence against minorities because I swear to the divine entity of your preference it gets the point across so violently and clearly that I honestly had to hold back tears the first time I watched it and I'm not exaggerating.

youtube.com/watch?v=oDQXFNWuZjโ€ฆ

yeah, it is a white guy (maybe that will make you listen I dunno) but the point is there.

before you go tone policing, before you move to somewhat silence anybody who is trying to speak, remember this.

in reply to ardydo

if you didn't get it, the point is that being socko is just everyday for us.

most of the time we don't have our own voice because we'll not get listened to. the white people need to be willing to listen or to give us platforms and everytime they do if we don't choose carefully what we say we upset the white people and they may react violently in a way that is just plain accepted by everyone around us.

the angry black person stereotype is a testament of this. it is what happens when we're not willing to play by the rules white people set for us.

"oh please, explain to me this upsetting subject that I could go and learn myself" says the white people and when we get upset by the subject or by having to explain that to then they get violent.

do you have any fucking idea how taxing living like this is? how much energy goes into that?

that is how the word fucking works :')

hello there, welcome to the fediverse ๐Ÿ‘‹ I too am feeling pressure of the 3 raptor... I mean viruses.

I'd like to let you know that folks on the fediverse try to add alt text to their images. If you could delete and re-draft that would be great. I follow @PleaseCaption for reminders. I think it's a really good habit to get into that helps folks with screen readers access your content (and sometimes is a part of the humor) as well some folks (me included) won't boost without alt text.



Michael Tunnell : The Open Sourcerer @MichaelTunnell@twitter.com

I sat down with Mark Shuttleworth, Founder and CEO of @Canonical@twitter.com for an in-depth interview about @ubuntu@twitter.com, the #UbuntuSummit, and his experiences. We will be releasing this interview soon!



The next post for my series #ArtistsFromTwitter features the excellent #illustrator Jabari Weathers, aka Goblin Princette. They have an extensive portfoliio of pieces having contributed to the Bluebeards Bride Tarot deck, Dissident Whispers and a dozen other works. Check them out at goblinprincete.com/ and take a look at their portfoli!


Since you got me on here reminiscing and whatnot, I'll make a deal with you all.

I keep a small Patreon that funds my main project, Fipamo, which I've been working on for the last couple of years. I have big plans for it.

If we can get my funding to the first milestone (5k/month), I'll personally set up and run a new public instance because this will allow me to pay the team I want to help me run it.

So let's see what you got, fedi.

in reply to phenbach

@phenbach It's very simple.

400g flour
265g (ml) of water
5g instant dried yeast (or 3g if you're doing a long ferment)
10-12g salt.

Combine, knead, rest. Form in to balls (I find this produces 4 thin bases of approx 10-12" diameter suitable for my small pizza oven, or two thicker bases for the indoor regular oven).

Four palt in vacuum package.

Sorry. Looks good.

The clothes dryer stopped working, so I pulled it apart. Broken belly was the cause of the stoppage, but this idler pulley doesnโ€™t look too great either, and the thumping weโ€™d heard for a while was also explained (spring tensioner had let go).

Amazingly parts are available and Iโ€™ve ordered them.



Well, today I bid a fond farewell to my cream coloured cardigan. It has served me well. Sadly, at 9am it met its end when Moki found it unattended for a few moments on my office chair. Now that it has been thoroughly sucked and chewed on, it will meet its remaker at a rag trade recycle box. Goodbye cardigan, I will miss you!


How is Twitter verification doing? Oh itโ€™s going great, fake accounts keep being accidentally verified like this spelling error account. Itโ€™s fake.
