@Sonikku Santa Rosa, CA. Windsor is their more recent addition.
@aaronsgiles ah, well lived in Santa Rosa as well before (and Rohnert Park and Petaluma).
Did rather enjoy Sonoma County generally but like the rest of California I was priced out of affording to live there
In better news I've finally figured out the perfect analogy for what the fediverse is in the larger social media verse.
We're the shire. We're in our nice little country village posting pictures of mushrooms, cats ,and trees. We also gossip about the people going on adventures outside the shire and complain about the evil places of the world over a pint of ale.
Bluesky is Gondor, X is Mordor and Truth Social is Barad-dûr.
Greetings fellow hobbits!
@mike I fucking love this! ❤️🥳
I did two remixes for a Doom video I uploaded a while ago and forgot to release them. So, uh, here they are.
Rest in peace, Bobby Prince.

@jbrownesq @trabern Iran, for one...
@dcdeejay @trabern so you blame this, without evidence, on some foreign government - one that we have repeatedly non defensively attacked, regime-changed, and committed war crimes against by the way - but you dont see the obvious domestic causes as more likely eh?
The layoff of 10,000s of great workers, constantly, against all great industries, and the replacement of them by fucking BOTS, including the FAA just yesterday? Perhaps this might be it.
wir haben eine Gastherme mit Heizkreislauf mit teilweise etwas historischen Heizkörpern.
so wirklich leise ist das ganze leider nie wenn es läuft, aber dieses Geräusch ist ganz besonders fies:
Kommt auf jeden Fall von einem der Heizkörper und trägt dann auch sehr schön über die Rohre. Was ist das? Luft? Dreck? idk?
kann man da irgendwas gegen machen?
@floy klingt für mich nach Luft!
@_elena I can't find anything in my notes about that. Sorry! I think the hardest part was getting it to dual book - but I recall the hardware working just fine.
@Edent got it! I'm not going to create a dual boot, but just wipe the drive and have Linux on it...
randomized FPS bullet hell game
@andypiper not worth it how so? I love the idea of this. Guessing it is at least lower latency than my batter wifi doorbell.
@UrbanClone well in the end I’m not sure what automation I’ll use it with, and the effort to find the RF needle in the haystack of noise was more than I expected!
HAH! Progress. BIG progress. I might be able to get rid of the whole channel thing now!
I love committing type crimes. Half the fun of using a strongly typed language is doing type crimes.
step 1. write careful safety checks into the firmware of prototype hardware
step 2. test the hardware. it appears to be safe!
step 3. look at the code again and realize you left out one important step in the implementation safety checks which means they were never actually applied
step 4. say "whoops" really loudly
@foone The loud “whoops” is doing heroic work in step four.
@aaronsgiles wait is that Windsor, Ca? Used to live there heh.
Then again starting to feel like I’ve lived everywhere at one time or another.

@_elena I guess it depends on what you want to do. To *learn* Linux, Arch might be a good way, but just to *use* Linux, I recommend a more out-of-the-box distribution. I'm using Ubuntu for years on my main laptop and I (usually) don't have to tinker around.
@kleisli thanks! I have Ubuntu on my Raspberry Pi 4 and really like it. But I've always heard so many great things about Mint, so I was tempted by it... plus I may one day give that laptop to my child...
Meanwhile at Microsoft/FAA
‘An environmental and welfare disaster’: British salmon loses its organic status - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/nov/14/salmon-organic-british-farmed-environmental-welfare awful: "farmed salmon covered in blisters and sores – and in some images minus their heads – as a result of sea lice infestations, caused by high stocking densities."
@andypiper What device are you using to handle the RF?
@courtney I have an ESP32C3 with RX470C. Trying to figure out the doorbell signal from all the RF background noise was a nightmare!

Godot
I use Rider for personal use, and sure, it’s a bit slow, but it’s actually a pretty good IDE. I’m glad they’re helping Godot.
Okay, gonna try a new approach.
HAH! Progress. BIG progress. I might be able to get rid of the whole channel thing now!
Sorry can't do anything, experiencing an outage
@TheBreadmonkey have you tried turning yourself off and on again?
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
