finally some representation for those of us who commute by UFO

photograph of a weird plug that looks sort of like a schuko but it has 4 prongs instead of 2 and a big flat blade in the middle.

biblically accurate schuko plug

found in my apartment's ventilation system
apparently this is "perilex 380-400V 16A" for 3 phase, but it also has a big orange "DO NOT CONNECT TO THREE-PHASE POWER" warning written on it 🙃

i wish they had not used such strong fomo messaging, considering the context of where it is taking place :(

ngl if USPS did consumer internet and web services that would be a kickass job.

have heard of it, haven't really looked at it in too much depth

i just want a nice chill sustainable long term business 😭

thinking it would be fun to do a datadog competitor that is self hostable and not highway robbery

holy shit

most annoying part is that esphome takes like 10 minutes to build an ota on a raspberry pi. i really need to migrate my hass to a better system at some point...

it works quite well actually. was quite amusing to stand outside my apartment with a laptop while repeatedly calling myself and opening the door 😄

photograph of something wrapped in orange electrical tape in a conduit box in the wall. there is a red led shining through the tape, and a white wire is coming out of the tape and connecting to a rats nest of other wires that are spilling out of the conduit box. four of the wires also go to a a terminal block on a black metal panel that is screwed to the wall next to the conduit box.

the mysterious device wrapped in orange electrical tape has been inserted into the wall

it is insane how quickly you can bring up a device on rust thanks to this ecosystem. the only thing that could make it better is the std/sys separation, so that you could "easily" use std crates

hey uhhh. I got fired yesterday. if anyone has rust positions in the Netherlands let me know!

generally though its more of a spite driven project, from my hatred of matrix. matrix is so aggressively against designing for actual users that its almost comical. i talk to people who do cryptography for a living, and even they have that stupid "encryption is broken" badge on their matrix accounts

though i'm not actually using atproto in it at all, you just have an identity through your home server. home server is also relevant for handling push notifs and such.

i've been working on something like this, though each server can have multiple guilds, to borrow a discord term. the real question is whether it will ever make it from side project to something i release...

me: mom can we stop and get some kata containers
mom: we have kata containers at home
kata containers at home:

i'm told chatgpt thinks (or thought) i am the creator of nodejs, so it's not all bad 🙃

i feel like i'm just ecc at this point, cleaning up all the slop everyone else is so "productively" vibing out

A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A ROUTING DECISION

I use kagi normally and I haven't noticed any ai features. I know they have some but it seems if you don't look for them they stay out of the way.

there is an openid spec for this but no one implements it :(

after moving to europe it always amuses me how much people here complain about the trains (even though it is entirely justified!) because even the bad days here are better than the standard fare in the us

i love that vattenfall put these stupid "smart" water meters in that do not correctly report their usage to the company, and do not have their P1 port enabled, so i still need to fill out a form for them every few months, and I can't even monitor my usage :(

from a js engine implementor perspective i think its basically considered evil at this point.

can we talk about the linguistic turpitude of "I don't recall signing up for these emails"

really feeling the 39c3 fomo now

oh it actually is possible to use underscore
```
macro_rules! count {
() => { 0 };
( _ $( $t:tt )* ) => { 1 + count!( $( $t )* ) };
}
```

can be simplified while also better expressing the pain

```
#[macro_export]
#[doc(hidden)]
macro_rules! count {
() => { 0 };
( A $( $t:ident )* ) => { 1 + count!( $( $t )* ) };
}

fn main() {
let n = count!(A A A A A A A A A);
println!("{n}");
}
```

seen is actually concering optimizations. a lot of frontends will perform fairly non-trivial optimizations before lowering to llvm ir, and some toolchains even have post-compilation optimization (for example, wasm-opt)
