Alas, I am moving on from Nosh. But I am looking for new cool and meaningful stuff to do.

Quit work to build a southern Chinese style timberframe building in the backyard. First fruits of the labor - the sills and foundation. Was a pleasure to cut the dovetails.

"In our days, everything seems pregnant with its contrary: Machinery, gifted with the wonderful power of shortening and fructifying human labour, we behold starving and overworking it; The newfangled sources of wealth, by some strange weird spell, are turned into sources of want; The victories of art seem bought by the loss of character."

We are in a strange place where people prefer billionaires over career politicians, thinking that the former are less corrupt. But who pays the politicians to skew democracy in their favor? Billionaires. Billionaires are why the small folk have it tough. Lobbying, campaign contributions and media control are the weapons.

This election cycle feels unusual cause people seem to be buying into the two party system, emotionally at least. In the 00s taking either of the parties seriously made you look foolish. Has any candidate brought up limits on campaign spending, or lobbying, or gerrymandering? Democracy is broken. No swamp has been drained or will be.

Lots of spam could be mitigated by just blocking any cast with "gm" in it.

Dan is not wrong. Twitter is way more informative than Warpcaster on thousands not topics. If you don't give a crap about NFTs or frames what's there, a little crypto club? As a social network Warpcaster is not flying.

After slowing down YouTube incrementally for the past few weeks, today Russian internet providers blocked the website completely. Users in Moscow are reporting an error about failed connections. Mobile Internet, though, is serving it. In Russian: https://theins.ru/news/273712

Used to know a Bosnian restaurant owner in Queens who refused to root for national soccer teams. Him and his family learned the hard way the price of (others') nationalism and flag waving. Have doubts that Olympics are actually a unifying force. Russians who want to participate under no flag are the progressives here.

The past few months California has been meeting 100% of its electricity demands with renewables during peak sunlight hours.

When I worked in large institutions the development was all trunk based. Now in smaller shops people look at me like I'm an idiot and making their lives more complicated by going trunk. (A few platforms make trunk difficult, Vercel for example). Is trunk, like, passe?

Not sure if you energy people would like to see this, but my roof used to be old tar and gravel. It was replaced with fairly cheap and lightly insulated reflective TPO. Here are the before and after on comparable days. Heating and cooling is almost a quarter of all global energy consumption.
