posts as they are created
Basically you just need to (1) reset the margin and padding of everything to zero (2) set an explicit line height and font size for everything to the same value (3) style buttons like text (4) use multiples of ch for horizontal margins and lh for vertical margins (5) use the round function to make sure the width of your body is a multiple of ch. I think that’s the majority of what I did. And use…
I have 10 pi agents running right now, each within a tmux pane. They are working on my image-to-3DGS pipeline. I assume it’s progressing fine. I feel depressed. Getting paid will fix me. I don’t know what I want.
I took 3000 pictures of my tool cart yesterday. I was rotating three spare batteries to keep the camera alive. I didn’t use any of the pictures cause I was too slow & the lighting was inconsistent throughout. I also bumped into the cart halfway thru the process. About to go out and do it all over again!
Most people do not have a camera installed in their bedrooms, pointing at their beds, watching them sleep. Most people would not feel comfortable with a camera pointed at themselves while they slept. But how small would cameras have to get before people were comfortable with it? There are two types of costs when people evaluate technology. The first is the monetary cost. The second is the…
Creating is always a good feeling Working out is rewarding There is a half-life to mind-numbing activities, even after ceasing It’s likely that there is tension you could ease in your body You have more control over your comportment than you’d think Novelty is itself rewarding It’s unlikely that getting out of bed early won’t always be unpleasant How things are with other people is not how they…
All pages now include the following in the document : html <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Rigby" href="/browse/recent.rss"> so for example, because I have NetNewsWire on my mac, with its Safari extension installed, my extension’s icon lights up, and can be clicked to add the feed to NetNewsWire. I love NetNewsWire! Other feed readers may have similar functionality.…
I am going to be migrating rigby from PostgreSQL to SQLite, for reasons that I am planning to expand on later. All to say that if you comment on, or upvote, or post, any new content to rigby between the time that I create the backup .sql file and the time that I import it into the rigby process and cut over to the new rigby process, it may be lost, and I may or may not try to transfer it over to…
I got here from watching the sambucha video on it. and the rest is just great advertisment i guess
The worker sells their labour time in advance of its consumption by the capitalist, even though the worker is paid after their labour-time has been expended (Marx 2024, 147). Although the worker’s labour-power is bought ‘on credit,’ the contract is struck before their labour-power is consumed (Marx 2024, 148). Once the capitalist has bought labour-power, the worker generally has some job security…
To the wife of Mao Tse-tung, To thee who speaks according to the book. The book! The booo-ok! To an interested businessman, Kick ON your high-heeled party shoes – she a baddie with her baddie friend. To many more years of further speculation. Happy (belated) Birthday Luke!
In a desperate attempt to boost traffic to my idiosyncratic forum, I have registered the dormant domain name nationwiderx.us for $7.35 with the registrar Cloudflare. This domain name is linked to on The Million Dollar Homepage (2005), by Alex Kew. Our real estate is the 40x10 black background with the word ‘DRUGS’ in yellow text, which sits 590 pixels below the top of the image (about…
i. Format We had the benefit of experiencing two seminar presentations before our own (for which I’m very immensely grateful to our classmates), and we wanted to use our experience in these seminars to iteratively improve on the format. In particular, we wanted to minimize an opposition between the presenters and class. To this end, we tried to rework the arrangement of the classroom, and the…
In an effort to do my part against the American tariffs I have decided to temporarily leave twitter in support of local canadian social media platforms like Rigby and Aylo/MindGeek. This is also a perfect opportunity to support disabled and neurodiverse owned and operated platforms. Luke, you’re so much more than your disability. Speculating further, JL
This will be a kind of real-time log of my attempt to find out whether large language models (particularly OpenAI’s GPT series) have consumed rigby’s data in their training. Have we shifted their token vectors’ positions in latent space? My first attempt was to try to get GPT-4o to complete this poem by brutux, which is pretty unique. Brutux, if you’re reading this, I have…
https://rigby.krikorian.ca/post/df329327-0488-42c1-a859-1e934b3e7cc5 And I have a few questions about this part: “Budster collapsed in his papers and cried. The tears ran down his snout and dripped onto the thin computer paper.” I have some questions regarding that scene: When Budster cried, did his tears: A: Drip off the tip of his nose onto the paper? or B: Drip off his chin onto the…
Have you ever done an infinite amount of drugs at once? Just gotten drunk and blazed and shot up heronine and nicotine and morphine? Oxy and roofies and kerosene and bicycle repellent? Injected your viens with LSD and THC and PCP and M2D and seen the universe laid bare before you? Felt the gut wrenching pain of the chaotic universe inside you? Have you ever died? I die a little bit every day.…
I feel like part of growing older is learning to be comfortable wasting time. As a kid, I would be antsy about perceived wastes of time. But I wasn’t impatient, I just fundamentally morally objected to these things that I didn’t think were important. And so I waited until I was an adult, with the goal that, when in charge of my own time, I would be able to spend it doing only meaningful things.…
First, you’re going to hear a sort of soft buzzing, like the humbuzz of a fluorescent light, but way less vibrant and “in your face”. This is almost an aid. Submit to it, let yourself go. Second, the visions will begin. An anecdote: My first was a cockroach, sitting on a stool as if it were human, painting something on a canvas. In a completely dark void. It was scary. It was…
Let’s think of a fantasy world unlike this one. A world of magic and age. O, and the people sit, free from the shackles of modern awareness and yet plagued by the threat of very real physical pain, of a sort that I have never had cause to experience. The pain of incurable illness, of sudden accidental death to a million thorns, or else a violent end at the hand of some dragon or beast…
You can now see who has upvoted a certain post by hovering over the vote button. Sorry to anyone whose controversial political opinions this change has doxxed but sometimes I just get curious about who is still using this site…
Ok so basically… Computer rendered transparency is a lie. I don’t know how I’ve never realized it, it may have been obvious to many people as many things that computers output are just mimicking things. (for example, RNG is not truly random number generation, not even close. The method that a program uses to output a “random” number varies but it’s not…
Hey, you. I know what you want to know. You know, you want a balcony seat on this orchestration. I won’t give you that. I’ll even give you a piece of advice to prevent a ticket. To clarify, I know you grasp on some level that there IS an orchestration to begin with. It’s what you’ve pondered about so often, wondering why you have fingers you can wiggle with the same organ…
When I started growing my hair out I was allergic to the idea of using hair styling products. I wasn’t literally allergic to them, but my soul was. I just hated how it looked and felt. I would do all sort of wacky things like sleeping in a weird way with wet hair or scrunching up my with my bare hands to make it look the way I wanted, because I hated the idea of my hair just lumping down…
A symbol of wisdom, but he’s not so wise, the owl, so pretty, with wondrous blue eyes, he diets on lizards, on beetles and mice, he’s been often shown to make frequent cries. He nestles in trees, in a tallest spot, he pukes out the bones of the prey he’s caught, but the blue-eyed owl cannot puke, cannot! The bones in his throat’ve shaped into knot. He heaves and he screams,…
Life doesn’t feel real with you under the morning’s daunting blue my senses say there’s not much to chew Life doesn’t feel real with you when we spend hours talking I still feel like I’m sleepwalking Life doesn’t feel real with you you don’t rejuvenate anything you won’t give my heart restless wings Life doesn’t feel real with you but your…
Hours go by one by one, with unpleasant sluggishness, on your heart, locked, is a press, a stress, for we aren’t done. This day goes on without halt, work then chore then more and more, until spirits are left sore, and your eyes hurt without fault. Then, the hours pass and pass, into when the sun is red, dinner’s served, a healthy meal, eaten without nothing said. Then, all problems…
When Nintendo was creating the Nintendo 64 they intentionally made it very convoluted because they assumed that more complexity would result in a better and more “cutting edge” product. They really thought they were pushing the boundaries of technology. That design philosophy ended up just making developer’s life harder, though. This is your reminder to not over-engineer things!
Yes. Real != Good

I think a cool idea for a browser that could be implemented fairly easily (on macOS at least) is to be a browser that only works with PDFs. That is, you can click links in PDF files to other PDF files that will open, with standard back/forward buttons, location bar as well maybe. With just the browser infrastructure, you could create a whole “new internet” of just PDF documents over…
Hello everyone… I must apologize. I forgot my password to this website again but thankfully rigby user ~Matthias has a nice snippet I used to get a new hash. Anyways when I tried logging into the postgresql database (which by the way is new, I converted to Postgres when I switched rigby back to the old, better site styling and lack of js). This didn’t work! I knew what the db user and…
I was walking through Queens park at 11pm last night and saw two men conducting an anthropological study. I didn’t bother asking what they were up to. Maybe I should have, who knows.
Hey gamers I think we need more minimalism on the web. This blogging site is arguably 10x cleaner, more efficient and stress-relieving than blogging on Wordpress. Like if u agree (sorry if I’m not supposed to exist on here)
Multitasking, focused, ignoring. 2 things at once. Under stimulated. Overstimulated. Bored, lonely, scared, uncomfortable. Flying through nothing, unmoving. Unthinking. I cannot, in light of my overwhelming pride, allow myself to think other people’s thoughts. I cannot listen. Two things at once. Overthinking. Slow. They’re slow. They talk about nothing. The brain. Liminal.…
Lucidity. There is malice in the air. Something is changing again. 42. There is malice in the air. Lucidity. 42. Malice is changing again. An answer without a question. 42. There is malice in the air. Lucidity. Something is changing again. An answer without a question.
Twice a night, three fat men in trench coats come to my house to play cards. They sit at my wooden table and roll their dice for a while. They flick out their elephant-lounges to talk about the weather, but when they grow bored, they go upstairs and tuck in their daughters. When this happens, I look out my window and see a traveler riding a motorcycle beneath the street lamp. Sometimes I check on…
They say the body is a temple, but they never explained how to talk with it. I imagine you use knobs. There’s a pad where you draw. The way you draw and how fast you draw on it turns the knobs. It’s like a reverse etch-a-sketch. The way the knobs turn and how fast they change determine what happens. States are things and turn speeds are actions. Sometimes little dogs draw on it but…
It’s 2:00 am. I’m having trouble sleeping. Perhaps the fact that I have only a single blanket on a couch is a contributing factor. I went to a Waffle House last night. I had never before been. It seemed almost faded, like it was pretending to be more than it was, and yet was never more than it currently was. I’m laying on the floor with my blanket. The couch is too hot. It is humid here; sweat…
“I need you to throw that envelope away. You know it’s bad” “Well, maybe it needs a little TLC, but there’s nothing a little elbow grease cant fix” “You were going to compile your shoddy runtime to LLVM IR and paste it before your generated LLVM IR. Even if you got that to work, the generated binary would be bloated. It doesn’t make sense to compile Grib.” “You know what you stupid sea bug? You’re…
I remember this kid who spoke like a stereotypical surfer boy. He was in a sixth-grade class of mine, and he had long blonde hair that draped over his eyes. I vividly remember him explaining the idea of “derf”. “It’s kind of like a number between five and six, but it’s not five or six, ya know? It’s just derf.” His arm rested on his trapper keeper as he…
Complete removal of JS from the front-end. Previously, I was using it for the form pages and the vote button but I’ve decided to remove it entirely. Inline replying and commenting URL Fragment linking to comments and replies, with an updated styling when targeted.
markdown support in posts user sessions are now saved upon shutdown, should save people from having to log in all the time previously, you could access a post at /posts/{id}, this has been changed to /post/{id} because I think it’s cleaner.
On the 1965 Gemini spaceflights, or, how I escaped the Referer header (part 2) My curiosity aroused, I decided to check out this new protocol. My portal into the project was the homepage. => https://gemini.circumlunar.space The Gemini homepage (also supports the Gemini protocol of course). This page includes a list of Gemini clients, but I wanted something more opinionated. So I did a search on…
On the 1965 Gemini spaceflights, or, how I escaped the Referer header (part 1) The first draft of the HTTP specification, RFC 1945, was published in May 1996. It contained an innocent spelling error: the substitution of “referrer” for “referer” when defining the HTTP header that would be used for sharing the url of the previous page. I have made many similar spelling…
You can use regular expressions to validate form elements without using javascript. All that’s required is a pattern attribute with your regular expression on an HTMLFormElement like an input of type text. Although, if you don’t set the input to required it won’t bother validating before submitting the request. And remember kids, never trust a client!
Kanye West is dropping Donda in July 2021 Source(s): Yeah
Pure waves of loneliness crash on the ground and the sound of the universe overwhelms me. The sound goes up to the ceiling and it comes back down there is no escape and an echo is just like a memory and an echo is just like a memory. The birds and the beasts and the beautiful people stop and listen to the universe and its melody. The people and the beat and the sound of their feet and they’d…
My personal website is a collection of several separate parts. photos , my homepage , and of course, rigby. I’d like to talk about how I set these up, how I write them, and what tools I use in “production”. VPS Setup My personal website is running on a DigitalOcean VPS with 1GB RAM and 25GB of storage. This has been sufficient for my needs, there aren’t perceivable slowdowns, even when running…
