Shit happens, and I'm glad the driver managed to get to the other side before the truck sped up on the slope. There's a steep U-turn 50m ahead with a 15m straight drop over a field.

I've had this happen to me in my small car once and it's quite a trip to have to catch a runaway vehicle on downward slope.

Here's Cosmo as a kitten making friends with the squirrel.

Second photo is of Cosmo, now.

This video is from several days after rescuing, with a little fur grown on its back.

My mother was visiting at the time and we both took turns changing the hot water bottle and feeding every 3 hours until the bbsqrl had fur on its tummy (indication that it could now self-regulate body temperature).

Left these bananas ripen on the plant because the squirrel I rescued as a wee furless baby two years ago (who is back to being untamed as an adult) loves them. Took my share today 😬

nostr:npub1xpvalqulr6lme43aetyur9uemt33f8thjzt98ujwghccm08hkhkqrhuf92 I'm guessing that's to ensure it shows up in specific searches?

Before I go full snark on an alleged human responding to a very specific question in one Matrix chatroom with "read the handbook and forums", let's have some coffee.

Yikes, forgot to check on my strawberries sooner

Spent a few more hours learning Elixir language and ecosystem today.

Improved the Tailwind on FreeBSD library to cache the downloaded workaround and use it for later installs. Added sha256 verification for downloaded and installed binaries. And tried to name functions and variables as non-cleverly as I could.

Overall, I'm enjoying this third attempt at becoming productive with Elixir.

#Elixir #FreeBSD

Looked at ejabberd and Elixir/ Phoenix framework after couple of years and whoa, that's a lot of interesting work they've pulled off in the meanwhile!

You can basically write your own federated, secure social network by adding ejabberd as a dependency to your Phoenix project, add your front end and API calls to ejabberd and there you areβ€½

Itching to give this a whirl but mind isn't in the right space at the moment. Maybe in a week or so.

#Elixir #XMPP

#FreeBSD 14 has (pleasantly) surprised me despite the thing about PoLA*

- YubiKey works with Firefox

- pkg install logseq (!)

The two reasons why I was trying Linux for a couple of months have been addressed ✨
