I love how Alaska has these cabins in the bush, available for explorers and stranded people to use, stocked with blankets, bear repellent, medkits and a oil heater.
They have these logbooks with records of visitors going back to the 90s.

We haven't seen another sailboat since we entered Alaskan waters, but the AIS display says there's one 10nm north of us :eyes_fast: Quietly overtaking motorboats who are beating against the waves is one of my guilty pleasures. I purged my Instagram gallery and posted these as a reminder that there is life outside those platforms. It got a lot more traction than I thought and I think people are as fed up as I am. Anyway, I'm reposting this here because believe it or not, I'm more excited than ever to be sharing art online--where it matters! @cabtastic Good move! I recently opened an IG account, because people were urging me to do so, but things are really sluggish there. A lot more sluggish than for example here. Our Networks: Does not (cloud) compute Upcoming event at the intersection of #permacomputing and #localfirst.  @jakintosh I saw your PR in my email this morning, I can't load github for the life of me right now, so I can't merge it, but I just wanted to mention that your website doesn't show up in streetpass because you don't have the rel='me' thing to validate your website with mastodon, you should add it up : )  @neauoire strange, I do have it set up, but it looks like in a different way than mastodon profile edit page explains; I have a <link rel=“me”> in the <head>. I’m going to add the ‘rel=“me”’ attribute to the <a> in my footer that links here, and see if that covers more cases like streetpass.

@wryl today I had some time to think about how Nova works, can you let me know if this is accurate https://dziban.net/note/nova @dziban A lot of this is correct, and a lot of it is simpler than you've specified. Variable assignment and expression evaluation isn't a built-in feature of the language, but instead considered a part of the standard library. Rule priority is source-order, and rules consume the tuples they match. The left-hand side of a rule is the tuples it consumes, while the right-hand side is the tuples it produces. I've updated the snippet with more code. https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3716812 ⦶ https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-76/ this week in sentences: the bottom of the sea, we hate it, proximity of normcore, bond of guilt, today's foible, less hassle, Billy5000 also I just noticed a bunch of new subscribers in the last week, cool and welcome new readers but who did that 💭 I wonder if I could scare a bear by waving a paddle over my head, should I make myself small, or appear big, I can never remember, maybe if I clap my hands..

 I've been down a rabbit hole the last couple of weeks with Apple's ancient Font Editor 2.0 (1984), the first font editor I ever used on a Mac. This is the pre-PostScript era of bitmap fonts like Chicago, Geneva, and New York. I wound up making a user guide and a video demo, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/rOwzfaTU0XA?si=QDwZDFvE8pl9-9Kq

 @marksimonson Mark, this is amazing. But i only boost posts with alt text on their images (aka "image description). Can you please take the time to write some? Should be able to edit the post. Ta. @marksimonson So great, thank you for the reminder. Forgive me if you mention it in your video, since I haven't had time to watch it yet, but I was also fond of the mini version built directly into ResEdit:  @marksimonson What a wonderful video clearly showcasing the experience of tasks in 1980s on the Mac along with several gotchas. I faintly recall using ResEdit to change the Finder’s “Cancel/Okay” to “Nah/Sure” system wide because why not, but I my may be misremembering. Good times. Alaskan summer days are very long, the sun wakes us up at 4am, and it stays bright until 11pm. I think that, if we were very motivated, we could solarcook every meals each day. Explored the beached wreckage of a wooden fishing vessel, an old 12 pistons GM engine, fuse breakers, brass screws for everything, bullets. There was no documentation of this wreck on the charts. Spent an hour looking through it all, I couldn't find a name or a date. I came to comment on the bullet as well, it seems unusual. It's always hard to guess the size of things in photos like this, but the casing appears to be semi-rimmed, suggesting use in an autoloading rifle, and the bullet looks larger than 30 caliber. Measuring the bullet diameter and case length with a micrometer would really help narrow it down. I'm guessing it's a .35 Remington: |
@neauoire Oh sweet. The Nordic countries have this too.

On the Alps we have huts and bivouacs, and their logbooks, before many of the huts became sort of hotels, were a very good reading… since there was nothing else to do while waiting to fall asleep over a 3000m altitude.
