pringle shape

okay yes, this is much better than 'saddle' for describing negative curvature. i grew up in the countryside and i know what a pringle looks like better than a saddle

that's this hull btw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston%5Fupon%5FHull

if you didn't know (and frankly why would you if you aren't from the uk?), it's a shithole, literally the butt of jokes for the rest of the country.

Durch Zufall auf den interessanten Ansatz von @adele mit #smolweb gestoßen.

Finde die Idee eigentlich richtig smart, gerade so mancher (#Wordpress) Blog könnte sehr von einem einfacheren Frontend profitieren.
Was ich nicht gefunden habe, ist ein Demo-Frontend und ein entsprechendes Repository.

Kennt jemand Seiten, die mit smolweb umgesetzt sind, außer den Seiten auf
https://smolweb.org ?

Doing a bit of emergency maintenance, courtesy of Copy Fail (https://copy.fail, CVE-2026-31431). Everything is being patched and rebooted. You’ll see brief downtime across omg.lol & Neatnik services. Sorry for the inconvenience and short notice! Critical vulnerability remediation happens on its own (unpredictable) schedule. 😬

When all maintenance is complete, https://status.neatnik.net will be updated. Sorry, again, for the disruption!

oh wow and thank you again to the person who immediately signed up within minutes of these posts. any support is tremendously gratifying but it's also particularly nice to be reminded "oh right, self-promotion isn't totally pointless, people can't offer support if they don't know that it's a thing"

I was early to this party, talking in 2018 about you, as one person, can only do one person's worth of contribution and you need to get used to that idea. Pretty sure it was in this fairly well-attended talk, even. And yet even I have trouble keeping it in mind. <https://pyvideo.org/pygotham-2018/the-automatic-computer-and-you-a-meditation-upon-the-history-and-future-of-software-development.html>

Uhhhh does anyone here know someone at Canonical

It is a very casual patreon, even $1/mo means a lot, as this functions as both literal money that can pay bills but also social permission to Do Valuable Stuff that fits into my sort of gonzo open source mainatiner / writer / Poaster internet presence. Anyway thanks for reading this chaotically scheduled halfhearted self promotional update

Alternately, you can sign up via https://github.com/sponsors/glyph . Fewer fees that way so I should support it but Github is way more annoying about Copilot, so it sort of balances out. Feel free to use the one more convenient to you and congruent with your interests.

Speaking of limited spoons, thanks VERY much to the random patreon who just signed up despite my utter lack of self-promotion. I am so far behind on updates. But if you want to get some when I do finally finish this Writing Project From Hell and start writing those again, https://www.patreon.com/creatorglyph

as someone who, in the last six months, has seen my own daily spoon quota go from like 30 to like … 5 … this is particularly acute

there is no alternate technology which can actually do all the work that the AI is pretending to do, there is no life hack solution to the “comprehension debt” problem that every software developer with a microphone has been talking about for months. the solution is to sit down and do the slow and difficult work of comprehension. there is no VC pitch for this

Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

so much of the “AI” mania is just that we are all asked to do too much, to be too many things to too many people, to be “on” all the time. every job is 9 jobs, every project is a startup side hustle even if you have zero equity. the answer to “well if I can’t use the ‘AI’ to do these other 8 jobs that aren’t really my job what else can I do” is just… break the wheel

7. Congress gave SCOTUS the ability to decide what cases to hear in 1925. We could take that power away, gutting their ability to only select cases that they want to shape their own political goals, and give it to a political neutral body. (Working on that leg - stay tuned.)

6. Because Congress DOES have the power of the purse. We can't cut their salary, but every other part of their budget is at our sole discretion. Why should we give them access to clerks, or office supplies, or new robes if they can't promise not to take RVs in exchange for rulings?

An important update:

Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent.

Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.
