If you don't pass out by the end of the race you could have run faster
TLDR: do your live blogging here. The Problem I have had the the same problem since the dawn of micro blogging. If I am watching a live event like an awards show, I often want to have a series of posts all properly tagged with the right hashtags. I want to quickly see what other are saying and boost and interact with those people. And I want all other posts not about the event to fade in to the…
I am excited to annouce a new project, Tvmarks , a personal website to track your tv shows. It is inspired by and shares much of the same code as Postmarks . Through the power of the tvmaze database Tvmarks lets you a build a selfhosted version of what you are watching, what you have watched, and what you plan to watch. Tvmarks is also fediverse enabled with shows added and episodes watched shared…
These are the video essays I thought were worth sharing this year in a rough order of how much I liked it. I’m not able to give them legit order or cut any but a few out. So here they! The 20 Best Train Movies Of All Time The Entire History of RPGs Robert Altman: America’s Rebel Director An in-depth look at Romance in video games Building Civilization - A Sid Meier Retrospective How The OC saved…
Great list of active forums from Aftermath . I’ve been looking for a search engine that just searches smaller sites lke these and I don’t think it exists!
A tweet on mastodon is called a “Post”. Before Nov 14, 2022 they were called Toots . This was fun but mostly was due to a misunder standing of the english meaning. this is in responce to this youtube video that arguest that all text posts on social networks should be called tweets which to me makes no sense. The idea that a post on twitter with an image and a image on instagram with text should…
Frameland: A Binary Tale looks so cool! An indie rpg with a reto look and soundtrack and rich story is 100% my shit. I feel like it has so much of what made me really love Chained Echos. it has yet to come out and I don’t like to promote stuff that has not come out but indie studios need more suport so here I am. Add it to your wishlist ! I can’t wait to buy this day 1!
Season 1 Review: This show was pretty good for a Zack Snyder which I usually don’t love. Many of the charcaters seem to start out pretty bland and hard to distinguis but I think it got better as the series went on. Many episodes are very horny in a way few animations are and in a way different then any anime I have seen is. There is a lot of sex and nudity. Some nudity was not sexualized which is…
Fantastic Mr. Fox 4 stars just a very chill and nice movie. Land of Bad 2.5 stars little dose of American jingoism. Polite Society 4.5 stars What a amazing movie. Blending romcom and action movie seamlessly. Amazing writing, acting, production, and stunt coordination. Baby Driver 4 stars a fun movie with a lot of actors that have aged very poorly. I’ve wanted to watch this since Thomas Flight had…
3.5 stars I love Fury Road. This movie had many many good parts but I don’t think it came together to make a compelling movie. Action was great. Characters were kind of weak. The the plot was uneven. The world building was great. I think this movie did sand better then Dune.

This rally is wild. Probably no rally has been this pumped since Obama.
Great guide on Flashing the Sonoff S31 with ESPHome here.
Recently Stefan Bohacek ran a poll to find out how long a post takes to appear to his followers. A great question! There is no one speed a post is circulated. When a post is made it enters a queue on sidekiq (below) to be sent out to other servers. Those servers receive that message and it goes in a queue to be processed. At peak times these queues can grow thousands of entries depending on how it…
I kept finding songs on Tidal I had added to my tracks list but were marked as “not available for streaming” but if you went to the artist page the song stil existsed. For some reason Tidal’s backend seems to generate a lot of new track IDs when they update or need to make some change to a track. Really frusterating. To fix this I wrote a script to find exact song title matches of songs from the…
React createContext is a powerful way to to use react to communicate between components but there are a lot of easy mistakes to be made that will slow down your app. From memoizing everything to separating component with hooks and components with UI. Yet even if you follow all of those patterns you can still find your app rendering components that could be expensive to render. This is because…
I’ve launched a new bot / website. Mastodon Most Followed tracks the top 10,000 mastodon accounts. At the moment to make the list you only need over 500 followers to make the list. The list is compiled though monitoring the federated timeline of mastodon.social as well as any mention accounts.
I never trust these music services to remember what music I love. Tidal doesn’t have an easy way to export this. I just want a CSV file to keep so Tidal doesn’t own the music I have found. So here is a small repo you can clone to run against your Tidal and pull your favorites out. # You need to install tidalapi using pip install tidalapi ( more can be found here https :…
Had a fun time getting in to mechanical keyboards for real this time. In the past I got a low profile keychron with Gateron blues and a air75 Nuphy with browns. The low profile keychrone had flat keys and I couldn’t feel which key my fingers were on and I also didn’t like the blue switch but I didn’t know it at the time. The Nuphy was much better but I need more room around the sift and arrow keys…
I’ve started a Mastodon instance called GardenState.social for all of New Jersey. Come and join and escape twitter.
