I respond to VCs about Owncast pretty often, and I’ve never been super transparent about it. So here’s a response I just sent.

jaxter184,

@gabek wow, an extremely patient and empathetic response to people who definitely don't deserve it. props!

If you're at it's likely you've been in a poorly-ventilated, crowded room with someone carrying the flu, RSV, or COVID.

It's not too late to wear a mask to protect yourself.

Please consider wearing a mask on your trip home. Don't attend mass infection events and get into a train with cancer patients, babies, people with asthma, etc.

jaxter184,

@freemin7 sure, i didnt mean to imply a value judgement on someone who chooses a respirator and no paper mask, but this person asked a question where the premise is that they are positive and infectious, and (hopefully) want to prevent the spread of the illness, in which case i would tentatively guess that just a paper mask is better for achieving their goals than just a respirator.

I'm very much not suggesting that this is what everyone should do in every situation.

jaxter184,

@tahnok @whitequark @akareilly as far as I know, not as well as a paper n95 mask, since the output is not filtered. probably better than nothing though, and i would guess that it at least reduces the spray range.

maybe you could wear both? not sure if it would hurt the seal though

My #DecemberAdventure is off to a good start. Mostly just organized the repository I plan to do stuff in, but it feels so clean now! Ready to fill it up with all sorts of fun stuff.

https://wiki.jaxter184.net/log/dec-adv-2023#day-1

jaxter184,

Demo time! The demo's purpose is to show the exact nature of how something is broken, but we count those as victories during #DecemberAdventure

https://wiki.jaxter184.net/log/dec-adv-2023#day-16

jaxter184,

Just kinda dawdled today, mostly checking out Zellij, but I think it helped with my overall #DecemberAdventure goal?

jaxter184,

Every day we stray further from demoing new features

#DecemberAdventure

jaxter184,

The broken stuff is now fixed! Now I can hunker down and get my bot working again, and after that, I'll be working on the event processing plugin that I was working on in the beginning. I should map out my #DecemberAdventure progress at the end, because it seems like I'm finishing things in the reverse order that I'm starting them in.

does rockbox still have a ‘real’ name requirement for contributors?

jaxter184,

@jacqueline damn, why do people still do this?

alright we have submitted for the #bevy game jam https://1-doomy.itch.io/bevy-blast-ultra

jaxter184,

@doomy congrats on the game jam entry!

I never realized how useful it was to have a level editor until I tried Godot, but I came crawling back to Bevy because GDScript is really painful compared to Rust, and Godot Rust plugin workflow didn't seem to be worth bothering with. I'm looking forward to the Bevy UI if/when they get it to a usable state.

Kind of want to set up a live streamed race where I compile the Hare toolchain plus literallly all Hare code that exists, including test suites, and race against bootstrapping rust once, on a raspberry pi

jaxter184,

@drewdevault is Hare intended to compete against Rust at all? it seemed to me more like its intended to be a C alternative in the same way rust is intended to be a C++ alternative.

What static site hosts do y'all use?
Seems like pages.sr.ht won't let me embed Sketchfab models on my blog due to its "no loading external resources" restriction, and I would like to move my blog/wiki to one that is slightly less principled on how the web should be run. Just slightly though.

Don't get me wrong, I totally get why that was done, but I really just want this little model to show up on my little blog. What's the point of hypertext if you don't hyper the text?

I'm trying to remember the last time tech companies became so frenzied into shoving an unpopular thing at people.

On the flipside, maybe there's an opportunity for some smaller platforms to swoop in and deliver nice things?

jaxter184,

@amorphophalex 2024 will be the year of the Linux desktop because they <checks notes> didnt change their keyboard

jaxter184,

@amorphophalex oh sorry, I assume everyone on Mastodon uses Linux.

The last decade has been pretty great for Linux, imo. There are definitely still some pain points, but at this point, I'm too used to the Linux mindset that I don't think I'd be able to go back to using Windows daily if I had to.

Also, surveillance and unnecessary bloat are the two cardinal sins of Linux, so I'm pretty confident that Linux will be better than Windows on that front for the forseeable future.

KDE connect is really cool! I got a phone call and it stopped the music that was playing on my computer, and it started it again when the call ended.

Imagine thinking a walled garden ecosystem is necessary for tight integration between your devices

d__adee, to gamedev

Earlier this month, I started working on a new game to refocus on a few things.

It's a chill sandbox gardening game releasing sometime in January or February next year!

jaxter184,

@d__adee the korean looks good to me. the two "을" are a bit cramped, but there isnt reaply a better way to do it at that size, and its pretty easy to understand with context.

what are these fonts called?

that is a really big tree

jaxter184,

@TodePond i thought about alternatives, like maybe multiple trees or longer branches, but within seconds of having the thought, I realized that the one very very tall tree is actually the best option by far

respecting my cats' personal space by not picking them up when they don't want to sit in my lap, but also saying stuff like, "wowww, rude" when they reject me

jaxter184,

@nash does that count as catcalling

a bit of a long shot, but has anyone updated their packages on arch recently and bricked their installation? or is this just a me thing?

I built a tray holder last month for organizing my various projects. It has been full since about a week after I built it. My gut reaction is to build another one. I should be a highway planner.

i think ive invented a variant of ghost leg for creating random pairs from a single group? (instead of pairing random pairs between two different groups like in regular ghost leg)
