I bought some Dutch licorice while I was on Granville Island from the Licorice Parlor. My only regret is I only bought 300 grams and not 3 kilograms.

Today I got some display cables and an Ethernet adapter. This is more or less the final setup!

The IO shield would not fit into the thermaltake case no matter how hard I tried. I even tried scraping some of the paint off and bending down the shield with pliers. Nothing worked at this step. #designfail

Good thing I found a case on OfferUp that actually works with my components!

Built a PC out of mostly used/free parts. It’s pretty fast and I’m happy with it. Gonna move my #homelab over to it soon. Next step will be getting some hard drives and an NVME boot drive.

I hate #e-waste and micro$oft obsoleting good hardware worked out in my favor for this build.

Went on a work trip to Maine and explored downtown Portland. First time on the east coast and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to next time.

Updating LineageOS the old fashioned way using adb and fastboot. It worked!

Giving the phone away to someone in need. I will miss 12 (music player) and the headphone jack though. Hopefully it is happy in its new home.

@lineageos.org thanks for the mmrs. 😎

I made my grandma a nice custom email, only to find out her inbox is full. I should have wrote a card but I cannot art my way out of a box with pen and paper. 😭

I was working on improving a contact form for a website I manage and everything worked on localhost, but was failing in prod. I thought my code was bad. But it turned out my server was running an old php version. Upgrade php and solved. 😄

<audio> and <video> with custom colors would be amazing.

Fortunately I was able to update the computer in a TTY session and reinstall the GUI.

Just got my first websockets connection running using python. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! I will be rolling this out to do metadata push from the Pacifica Confessor API.

Any Wordpress devs have experience with using Barba.js to prevent certain portions of the theme from reloading? I am planning a web player for the KBCS website that lives inside of the header and want to allow it to stay persistent while people navigate the site.

Thanks for letting me be one of the groomsmen @brody.technofuckingfeudalism.com. It was also nice to see you @marckskier.bsky.social

I’m so glad to have y’all in my family. 💕

I’ve been tinkering around with building a web player for Pacifica Streaming Services using their API. Put the starter code up on GitHub this morning too.

I built this in vanilla HTML, JS, and CSS using the @zed.dev text editor.

I’ve been coding again. This tool I’m building fulfills an access need for me when reading dense documents and literature.

I won’t spill the tea on what it does or how it works until I’m further along though. At least i have a proof of concept now that runs free of errors.

Made deviled eggs for the first time. #nailedit

Next time less salt and mayonnaise. Also balsamic vinegar is a poor substitute for apple cider vinegar if you don’t have it.

Now, back to designing in Figma for work.

I’m excited to try my first pathfinder adventure with friends! Stay tuned for more updates.

Got some old tech from @marckskier.bsky.social so I’ve been messing with #FOSS on it. Ripped some old CDs to FLAC and put them on an iPod running rockbox firmware. It’s been a fun project. Been using Ubuntu on a MacBook to manage the library. All I needed was a new battery for the laptop.

Does anyone here have experience creating a custom feed? I'm trying to implement one in typescript using the template provided on github but I'm running into issues once it is deployed.

I DO NOT have my own custom hostname. I just want to host it via bluesky.

It was awesome to have the opportunity to present my #HCI #accessibility research for explorable alt text at the UW Undergraduate research symposium.
