I create Fediverse software that empowers people online. I'm vegan btw. Note: If you have a question for me, please tag me publicly. This gives the opportunity for others to chime in, and bystanders to learn.

Hoon calls a type an "aura" and I've already lost interest in this programming language.

Shedinja is awesome because it only has 1 HP but is invulnerable to everything except super effective attacks. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Wonder_Guard_(Ability)

Is it okay to drink sleepytime tea in the middle of the day?

Pee-wee Herman actor Paul Reubens died today. RIP. Let's pour one out for our boy. 🍺

nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 Do you think it'd be posible to "integrate" a backup of my old Mastodon backup into my Nostr profile? tl;dr: I run a Mastodon instance, but I would love to drop it, but do something useful with my old toots and stuff. ^^'

Yep. I had that idea today and I guess it got floated around. We need to build a tool to let users migrate from ActivityPub to Nostr. https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/ditto/-/issues/31

Once Ditto is functional I will build this.

Gargron ignored my email about child porn on Mastodon.

What's up Cicadabros, I'm delivering you some fresh content straight out of my backyard.

I have never felt so vindicated. I battled to call them "reposts" instead of "respins", "boosts", or whatever other dumb thing. Simplicity has won. The RETWEET IS DEAD! ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ 🐦

Relays on Nostr are opt-in, making the whole premise even dumber. If you don't like it, don't add the relay.

After 17 years of coding, I am finally starting to actually understand databases. Thanks ChatGPT; using AI to advance my career.

Anyway, I thought it was some 3-dimensional nebula inside a database, but now I realize it is in fact all 2D, and there's just a lot of automatic duplication to allow accessing it in 3D ways. Now that I've built an index by hand it makes sense.

I really thought I was going become an artist, but after failing art class in high school I decided to become a coder. Follow your dreams.
