    Anyone that&amp;#39;s got Opinions™ on licenses for small personal projects, what&amp;#39;re your fave licenses and why? For libraries versus applications? Any resources that you found particularly useful?

    I found a projector in the garbage room of my apartment building. My apartment doesn&amp;#39;t have any space for a projector. What should I do with this??

    Navidrome server set up, I&#39;m listening to Rival State, who aren&#39;t on streaming but since I have hoarded the mp3s from when I ripped the CD I can chuck that in my library Bangin https://youtu.be/wGvypWuI0ts?si=RYBTxEDOCgLYw45-

    I&#39;m looking into self-hosted music streaming. If you&#39;re going to AI generate your website, can you like turn the temperature up all the way or something? I know maybe this could just be tailwind overuse. I am guilty of doing everything with Bootstrap in 2011-2015 but idk think different or something

    I made this transition with a CSS SVG mask then decided I didn&#39;t like it enough for my website, but I spent too long on the trigonometry to just delete it, so here you go: https://codeberg.org/willhbr/car-window-css

    Since apparently it&amp;#39;s important that your tools are added as co-authors to your commits: [templates] draft_commit_description = &amp;#39;&amp;#39;&amp;#39; concat( builtin_draft_commit_description, &amp;quot;Co-authored-by: JJ &amp;lt;jujutsu@jj-vcs.dev&amp;gt;&amp;quot; ) &amp;#39;&amp;#39;&amp;#39;

    I&amp;#39;ve been a bit naughty. I run wiki-rss.javanut.net which posts featured and trending articles a few times a day. It gets the typical background noise of requests to BS paths, which I was responding with a zipbomb. Now I&amp;#39;m responding with an HTML page with a few other BS links and some text. I&amp;#39;ve managed to ensnare a little Claude-SearchBot into making a request every minute or so to a new path 😬

    Just bought tickets to a show, I had to provide name, email, phone number, home address, and date of birth, as well as making an account in venue&#39;s system. I&#39;m sure this will be handled with care.

    Honestly if something uses bold text I just assume it&#39;s AI generated. Real humans use italics.

    @atpfm the South Island of New Zealand is often referred to as &amp;quot;the mainland&amp;quot; even though it&amp;#39;s only ~30% bigger than the North Island. Also NZ is three islands (not a million) according to the national anthem.

    Logged back into instagram briefly and the feed is one post from someone I follow, then two suggested posts, then an ad, then back to the start. So 3/4 is stuff I don&amp;#39;t care about.
