Life goals: not accidentally throwing the dog's toy in her water bowl every day.

According to the weather forecast it's not raining. :blobcheer:

I'm soaked, but surely that's just an implementation detail.

Once again using the full power of a high-end gaming PC to play the latest games.

I'm not very motivated to read a VN when I can't even make sense of the walkthrough. :blobcatnotlikethis:

Got some strange looks when I told people I cooked an egg for the first time in my life.

Surely there's nothing weird about cooking eggs!?

Got myself a new desk, attempting assembly.

Why does it come with two control modules?
Why does the tabletop not come with pre-bored holes?
Which side of the tabletop is up?
How far apart should I space the support columns?
Can I insert screws into the tabletop without boring some holes first?

I'm useless at practical things. :blobcattableflip:

It... stands! :blobcheer:

(I'll need to re-do the cabling once the delayed cable tray gets delivered)

I thought the music sounded a little different from usual, but that was the dog panting from the heat.

My latest invention: comfy ergonomic work environment.

I don't mind when developers add their own games to VNDB, but when they've never actually used the database themselves it always ends up in a mess. :blobcatnotlikethis:

if ($http_user_agent ~ MSIE) { set $isbot 1; }

$ perl -E 'say sprintf "%.2f %.2f", 6.625, 6.625000001'
6.62 6.63

Damn you, floating point. :blobcatpolice:

Current status: "fixing" some PHP code so that it doesn't generate 5GB worth of warning messages per day.

To take Github as an example, here's how most people would comment on a project's issue tracker:

Open issues page -> write comment.

Here's the same flow for other forges:

Open issues page -> go to sign-up form -> open password manager -> generate & save password -> back to sign-up form -> open email program -> (wait for email to arrive) -> click link in email -> go back to issues page -> write comment.

There's no way anyone can sensibly compete.

@wolf480pl Yup, back then I was so ready to make Persona the only auth method on VNDB, only to see the entire project prematurely abandoned. :blobcatsob:

Random thought: the lack of browser-integrated account and session management is a major contributor to the centralization of the web.

"The out-of-tree brotli module for nginx seems badly maintained. Doesn't nginx upstream have their own solution to this by now?"

"The NGINX Plus site has an article about a brotli plugin for their enterprise version. Ugh, not for me."

"...wait, is that the same out-of-tree module, but they're selling it as a packaged RPM? The future of nginx isn't looking good. :blobcatnervous: "

How I found dog this morning.

I don't need 10 emails to tell me that my package will arrive today, thanks.

Can't we all just... stop using computers for everything?
