  New train who dis. #Amtrak #Trains #PDX

  Y'all are so excited about these trains that I had to add another swapfile to my Mastodon instance to enable to keep functioning for the moment. Love it.

  #LazyWeb I'm looking to host some git repositories in my homelab. I'm tempted to use Forgejo, but it feels overkill for my usecase. I don't need issues, a web based Pull Request workflow, CI, open registration, or any of other other bells and whistles. All I really want is a web interface to show me the history, branches, tags, and diffs in each commit. All actual operations will happen with local git on my development machine. Does anyone have something like that they love? @hom...

  The #Pokémon World Championship was truly something incredible to witness. I’m nowhere near as big of a fan as my wife, but when that stadium got fired up, it was contagious!

  What a start to a race. Wet races are always more fun to watch 😂 #F1

  @foodnoms@mastodon.social Super appreciate all the work on the latest version. After taking a break for a while I reinstalled the app, and it’s super awesome!

  @dneary@mastodon.ie You’re sure you typed that account number right, right?!

  You know, at least the previous fascists had to go through the drudgery of intercepting, opening, and reading all the mail to figure out who to target. We're making this way too easy for them.

  I sympathize with all the Android users who are upset about Google locking Android down further, but FTR I find the “Keep Android Open” phrase inaccurate at best. Android is already not open, there’s ~20 years of Google ruining Android already. While yes, keeping Google from exerting more control is desirable, it will never supplant the need for real open operation systems and software for our mobile devices. The vendor duopoly is the problem, no matter who those vendors are.

  I took a few minutes this morning to make a note about the Codeberg LLM policy change. But my thoughts aren't actually about LLMs at all. https://philip.mallegolhansen.com/blog/2026-07-29-the-codeberg-fracture-is-good-actually.html

  IMO one of the core functional issues (There are plenty of non-functional ones too, of course) with people who use LLMs for writing code is: It strips away friction. You can’t first “make the change easy”, if you never realize the change was hard to begin with, because you never felt the friction of trying to make the change yourself. LLMs rob us of one of *the* core signals to whether our code is working with us, or against us.

  Me, the moment I feel even the slightly annoyance with Mastodon:

  Over the past couple of nights I've been setting up my Mastodon server on a new Ubuntu 26.04 VM (The original server was set up using Digital Ocean's "One click install" on 20.04 back in 2022). I feel like a teenager again, in a good way. I haven't had this much fun messing with computers in a long time.

  You know, I’m just happy to see an actual race vs. the usual Antonelli show. #F1

  I’m rewatching #NCIS because I have nothing better going on, boy those early seasons are a lot worse on the sexism front than I recall from seeing them in my teenage years.

  All of the "But how are they going to enforce it!" people seem to have missed the part of human history where it was largely decided how to enforce rules that are difficult to enforce is called a legal system. Is it perfect? No. But like... that's the answer? That is literally how we enforce anything in the real world?

  #WhenIAmKing “W” will correctly be referred to as double-V, not double-U.

  I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before: I can just block all .ai domains at the DNS layer.

  So this whole Great American State Fair implies the federal government supports D.C. statehood right? #USPol #JokingButNotJoking

  You know you’re computer brained, when you pick up a piece of trash and think to yourself “I need to delete this”.

  https://sive.rs/4d Great point from Derek. It’s been almost 7 years since I lived in Denmark, we’re probably approaching a point where it’s hard for me to relate to that experience today. The school I went to as a kid doesn’t even exist anymore. It was an empty field last time I visited a few years back.

  I don't know who needs to hear this, but the very idea of Open Source was always a radical left leaning ideological stance. You're GIVING AWAY labor to the tune of millions of dollars because of some notion that we'd all be better off together if we didn't have to re-write the same dang components over and over again. Of course members of the Open Source community are going to get political. We always have been.

  #LazyWeb I'm in possession of a couple of old #books that are immensely valuable to me (Though not in any objective way), problem is their binding is starting to fall apart. I assume someone on this planet makes a profession out of fixing such things, but I have no clue where to find these people. Does anyone have any leads? Somewhere near the #PDX area is of course preferable, but not mandatory.

  Of all the crazy things in the world, I love that American Airlines’ carry-on policy now includes a section on converting amp hours to watt hours AND it’s wrong. https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/baggage/restricted-items.jsp This math only holds true assuming you’re drawing 3.7 V, which is a bit of an odd assumption.

  My family is going to San Francisco later this summer. I *want* to take the Coast Starlight. But even in coach, that’s $660. The cost of driving it would be $115 at $4.5/gallon. This is not how you make public transit win.

  It took... honestly, years, children are a lot. But the #LEGO world map finally hangs upon my office wall (Right behind me when I'm on a video call). I couldn't be happier.

  Git: A cool, distributed, version control system. GitHub: A shitty, centralized, abstraction on top of git. That's how I'm explaining to anyone who conflate the two from now on.
