Smaller images for the web To prepare my images for my website to be smaller and progressively loaded, I had been using `imagemagick`. But my computer is now too old to properly install it with homebrew or macports, so I had to find another solution. imagemagick I found `sharp`, which is an NPM package, which I don't love, but gets the job done and is very lightweight in comparison. sharp The big…
I made my manifesto It's nothing crazy. I mainly just wanted to cull as many of the things that I feel like define me and craft it into some bullet points. Many experiences, people, events, and communities contributed to this, whether they or I wanted to or not. Check it out.
I have bookmarks I made a page of bookmarks. It's cool stuff I want to share, but not worth a whole post. I made a very silly "spec" because it was fun, and added some scripts to convert this "putmark" file into RSS and other stuff. putmark
ADHD Drugs Work I haven't taken any ADHD medication since I was super young, like 7 years old. It rendered me essentially as a zombie and I don't really remember being 7. My mom said she gave me the smallest possible dose, cutting the pill into the smallest possible chunks, and yet, it still rendered me somehow out of body. But now, as a mid-thirties guy, 5mg of ritalin is like it turned my goopy…
I made a chair I made possibly the simplest chair from an instructable I found. Uses one 8-foot 2"x12" and some very basic cuts. It didn't take long, even when the truly incorrect tools of only a circular saw and an oscillating multitool. I sealed up the ends using end cut sealer and called it a day. It works great and honestly I kind of like it better than a lot of my other chairs.
I made a bike repair stand I have so much scrap wood right now. I am a hoarder of trash, if anybody didn't know that already. So I've been thinking about how I can use it up. After recently having to fix a flat in my bike tire, and having to do it while flipping my bike on the handlebars and seat, I thought making a repair stand would be great. After searching a bit, I found a good visual and…
Conservatism On the other hand Conservatism is, as a party, secure of an existence as long as the present system lasts. It may be set down as an axiom that there will always be a Conservative party as long as there is tyranny and privilege to conserve. Hence we find the old reform parties shedding their members at both ends – the wealthier section falling over into the ranks of Conservatism, in…
Share your bookmarks I've been following an RSS feed of bookmarks from somebody for years. I don't know where it came from or anything about the person, but it's an interesting almost StumbleUpon-like feed. I wanted to make one. So I made a tiny "spec" for bookmarks just to do it and included a few utilities with it, like outputting the list as gemtext or as an RSS feed. Putmark I integrated this…
I learned to update my website in the obvious way Forever, I have been updating my wiki (tinybrain.fans) by pushing all of the HTML files via a `tar` call to the server. find . -name '*.*' -type f -maxdepth 1 -not -name '.*' -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cf - \ | ssh milofultz_milofultztest@ssh.nyc1.nearlyfreespeech.net 'tar -C /home/public/tinybrain.fans/ -xf -' Tinybrain.fans (my wiki) The repo This…
Lofi Page Counters I made a (very) quick proof of concept for a page visitor counter on a non-database site. Doing this with a database seems trivial, but doing it without seemed like a fun tiny challenge. The Code A repo with the code There are essentially three parts: The counter file The CGI script The invocation The counter file you need to create and make it's content a number "0". The CGI…
