It's not even November yet in my time zone but National Novel Generation Month (NaNoGenMo) has kicked off with a bang. I laughed pretty hard at this novel about a beleaguered teacher whose students keep interrupting them and throwing them off track of their lecture-- Sample output: https://github.com/victorangeloblancada/nanogenmo-2021-vab/blob/main/NaNoGenMo.md Development thread: https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2021/issues/10#issuecomment-955937872

@darius oh I was wondering whether to participate this year, and I'm simultaneously inspired and discouraged  I love this album so much "Grey Poupon had a thing, eatin meals in a car @darius I've had this on for the last hour or two and I'm really digging it. Thanks for the rec! Tried the free Steam demo of Terraformers and quite liked it! It's a sort of a strategy boardgamey thing about transforming Mars into a human habitat.  There is growing pressure for the consortium of journalists with access to the leaked Facebook documents to focus on redaction and wide release instead of holding the docs close to their chest. In the meantime you can watch the comments on this Gizmodo post where journalists there are posting links to substantive documents from the leaks, which they have put online: https://gizmodo.com/hey-kid-wanna-see-some-leaked-facebook-docs-1847936740 There is a HIGHLY likely alternate reality where I would be the guy at Facebook producing internal whitepapers like this very interesting one about Facebook Groups (I used to do exactly that internally for companies making Facebook games) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lJ0WIUaF3zVaZksozmrpTo5U_hDKVLDV/view holy crap there's a new Aesop Rock / Blockhead album coming out next month! you can preorder here (Blockhead produced the best tracks on Labor Days) I heard about this and I forgot and I am even more exicted hearing this news a second time lol grep -5 "foo" *.txt will search for lines containing "foo" in *.txt files in your directory ... and also provide the 5 lines before and after each match for context! The number can be any number between 1 and 9. If you need more than 9 lines you can do: grep -C 20 "foo" *.txt There are also -A and -B options that let you specify after-lines and before-lines.

 @darius i've used -A and -B for years but i didn't know about -C or -5. nice free win there, sweet.  @darius For more complexity, I usually combine find and xargs with grep: find . -iname "*.txt" -print0 | xargs -0 grep -5 "foo" with params, you can use "find" to include/exclude files/directories (e.g. ignore ".git", or softlinks) recursively. "-print0 | xargs 0" turns all filenames into NULL terminated strings parameters, letting you search filenames with embedded spaces. Yeah, with power comes complexity. 🙂  @darius the --color option is extra nice with context too. If you want both color and less(1), you have to do this goop: grep --color=always ... | less -R Mozilla has announced a grant of up to $30,000 "to people and projects that illuminate how to reimagine data in a way that shifts power away from big tech platforms and toward individuals and communities." @darius I already have my artwork ready for that project (attached), where do I submit?

@darius @humanetech So does that mean I can sub to an rss with my hometown account? Or is it specific to friend.camp?

Anyone interested in following Mastodon release notes in their ActivityPub feed can follow this account here (this might exist elsewhere too, but I couldn't find one): @darius Thanks for building the RSS-to-ActivityPub tool at https://rss.friend.camp , hopefully I can learn how to package it for @yunohost someday so I can host it on my own server! @darius good thing Mastodon doesn't release anything. (At least not in the last few months) I know more about BGP than 99.9999% of the world's population and I know *next to nothing* about BGP "There is some sort of perverse pleasure in knowing that it's basically impossible to send a piece of hate mail through the Internet without its being touched by a gay program. That's kind of funny.” -Eric Allman, creator of sendmail. The Advocate, 3 March 1998, p. 41. While I was at Mozilla, a group of us thought about doing a tshirt reading, "queer people worked on that browser you use to post hateful things about queer people." my newest coworker graduated from Sapienza University and I'm here thinking "that's a weird way to say someone has spent a lot of time playing Hitman" I wish the Jira web app wasn't slow as shit. It would be one thing if they had a desktop app they cared about more, but as far as I can tell the web app IS the product? And it performs horribly??

 @darius I feel you. It really feels like they are (still?) doing server side rendering. @darius, I would occasionally work with issues within Excel, using a plugin to push/pull, because I found it faster & easier. @danbruno A friend of mine is new to the series and started with Sky. She's on SC right now and just got to the tea party arc and loving it. I'm sitting here thinking now that maybe Sky SC is my favorite game in the series... it's so good?????  @darius Might be mine too! I haven't tried to make a ranking of all the games, but if I sort of group them into tiers it's definitely in the top one. I had started replaying the series from the beginning last year and I should pick that back up, I was still early in SC when I got distracted THQ announced they are developing Jagged Alliance 3, and the senior producer on the title name checked my book on the series as required reading for dev team 😎 https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/jagged-alliance-3-is-coming-from-the-developers-of-surviving-mars Wait there's a new immersive sim from Arkane Studios out? It's about assassins in a time loop??? Uhhh sign me up:  yeah i've been looking forward to it for a while, which is... unusual for me. but i currently still have the following on my plate: ...too much immersion, so much sim Idea: guy named Mehdi starts a feta cheese company. He also sets up a corporate Mastodon server for advertising his cheese. Then we have fedi meta about Mehdi's feta Bad idea: add OSASCOMP rules to all English language grammar checking software https://www.woodwardenglish.com/lesson/adjectives-word-order/
