Someone here recommended this album: lectronice.bandcamp.com/album/

I can't find the original recommendation, but the album is indeed nice!

I didn't know Yegor Bugayenko had a book that is not the Cactus book. This one is the Mushroom book. This is just perfect, I want it.

Anybody willing to sell it to me secondhand in good condition for 1000 ₽? That's the price they ask for on Avito.

So someone steals food in my dorm now. Victims are: a Twix, a pomegranate, a Picnic, a pie (was bitten brutally). Investigating...

> Subject: Reminder Upgrade now: Heroku free product plans end November 28th

Oh yeah ok. Give me a button that says ‘Purge my account without any confirmation’. I've never even used Heroku to host anything to begin with, I was just finding out what is possible with it.

Remember the last time I procrastinated on an exam and got the highest mark because I got the best possible exam paper (as in I knew it the best)? Let's hope it happens again on 2022-11-09!

I consider myself pretty lucky when it comes to exam-like stuff in uni. Well, it's not just luck, of course.

When I was learning of ActivityPub a year ago, I thought: “There will be time when small servers will have troubles existing, handling all this traffic”. This thought is not written anywhere, but I truly believe I thought so.

I guess now's the time. Merveilles are 500:ing, and it's not even small!

What could be a different federation protocol that scales better? I'm not saying the Fediverse should migrate to it, I'm just wondering. In fact, I'm pretty fine with Fediverse getting this big.

@bouncepaw i've been participating in this wg (braid.org/). i'm optimistic the future of federation is an evolution at the http level.

Append-only systems are wrong. If something has been added, it should be possible to remove it.

Am I right that IPFS is an append-only system? If so, then I don't like it. Git also encourages append-only workflow. Luckily, it has --force that lets me fix my three mirrors.

@bouncepaw IPFS is content-addressed. So, changing the content changes the address. There's some sort of DNS-like called IPNS which allows for mutable named pointers, so to speak. I don't think *that* is append only, but I'm not terribly familiar with it.

@bouncepaw I'd like to challenge the notion that append only is wrong

you can't undo words, you offer an apology
you can't undo broken, you replace or fix
you can't undo creation, only reaffirm it was better than nothing

append only is the default state of reality, and the magic of thinking sand has conned into thinking otherwise

append only as a way of being is generally better imo

@bouncepaw That's why I hesitated to use Fossil for the longest time, despite liking it otherwise. But their reasoning for going that way convinced me. It can be done right.

At a museum yesterday, trying to impress someone, I translated a text in French. They thought it was Italian... Impressive anyway

A cute thing about Kazan. There once was a street called Esperanto street. Now it's Nursultan Nazarbayev street, but the fun thing is that older people still call it Esperanto. Not many people know why it's called such, though.

bouncepaw 🍄

It would've been so joyful to hear the word Esperanto every time I pass the street on a bus or a trolley.

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the street name history is as follows:

<1927 (A name I have troubles translating)
1927 Esperanto
1949 Zhdanov
1988 Esperanto
2015 N. Nazarbayev

Esperanto was used two times! Both times the name was considered thanks to the local Esperanto club. It doesn't seem to be active anymore. No idea what happened to them. Their domain expired.

What GUI toolkits have drag-n-drop builders? I heard there is one in GNOME Builder for GTK. Because of uni, I also know of something called Visual Studio. What else?

DELETED

@bouncepaw I suppose that's what Qt Design studio is doing, and before that, Gorm on GNUstep

sam.sh

@bouncepaw I think there's some kind of ui builder interfece buried in xcode somewhere, but I've never seen it used.

@bouncepaw Lazarus is a FreePascal tool for GUIs that works like that.

Ok, I figured this out. I'm not gonna repost older #Inktober 2022 drawings that were on my previous account. You can find them in my garden (entries 1 to 17):

=> melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/i

I'm gonna publish entries 18 to 22. This is all I have by the end of October. I am gonna finish in November.

CRASPORE is making this night vibeful.

A roommate spilled milk over my calculus copybook.

bouncepaw 🍄

The October is coming to an end, yet my inktober is far from being finished. I want to finish it. I have 21 drawings done. I can't do 10 in one day...

Anyway, should I republish my older drawings that were published on my old account here? They are also available in my garden, of course:

melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/i

Maybe I should publish them in groups of four?

Hmmm
