Ever driven the same car or used the same camera or power drill for 8-10 years and thought: "I wish all these buttons and levers were suddenly in different places and did different things"?

Yeah. Me neither.

This is a toot about operating systems.

Stumbled over #IndieAuth again and am once again reminded that I (badly?) chose all my domain names that I like them, but not have them as my "handle" on any platform. I don't want to be @f5n.org - so this is something of a problem for adopting that pattern.

TFW you can't even get an older project running on a new machine because your README is bad and the dependencies' documentation is also not helpful (i.e. DB migrations).

Maybe I should watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alfq8RG80Ns - or start rewriting after all.

A watercolor painting meant to evoke the look of a Japanese woodblock print. A samurai wearing a blue and gray kimono and hakama is leaping in the air holding a banjo by the neck like a sword over his head. He’s about to bring it smashing down on a second samurai on the ground in kimono and hakama patterned in yellow, orange and red who holds a banjo in a low position at his waist. The background is a small hill with a tree on it with water and mountains in the distance.

Just €6000 to go…

Scratch that: less than €3000 only 12 hours after I posted “least than €6000 to go.”

Scratch that: it’s fully funded!

More than 30 days left to fundraise to make the queer gtld .meow even better!

Not exactly sure how my code using this library can get a reproduble "dns error" in line 23 when trying to find a room when it connected to that server just fine in line 17.

Writing a very simple bot with the Rust Matrix SDK has not been fun so far.

The more Rust I write the more I question the existence of Option. It could have been Ok/Err(None) instead and I would never ever mix up Ok and Some.

Disliking most fonts gets me in the comfortable position never having to think about buying one.
