I made a free daily anime guessing game
Hi! I built Koma.moe: a daily puzzle where you guess anime from pixel art, characters and items. One try a day, plus quizzes, a weekly boss and a lobby to play with friends. No sign-up needed. Would love your feedback 
Umm... Aren't they the "anti-purity test and compelled speech" people? /mega S
Danielle Smith says she’ll call up UCP officials not signing anti-separatism pledge https://globalnews.ca/news/12150519/ucp-officials-alberta-separatism-pledge/
@dyckron Political parties should be alliances of people united to advance certain ideas in the political sphere. You wouldn't expect Kevin O'Leary to be welcome in the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada.
Currently nothing depends on tokio. Hehehe.
A'ight. Now I need to do the same for http::Request, then I can re-implement Bruce (the HTTP server), after which I can start working on the new Nam-Shub of Enki.
It's within the realm of possibilities that I get to implement three ifs in a trenchcoat by the end of the weekend.

who’s this blue haired chick? she seems familiar, but I just can’t place her…
i just wanted to sign my windows app. that's it. that was the whole plan.
yesterday i tried to sign up for azure for the first time in my life. nothing worked. i decided microsoft is so broken you can't even give them money. turns out there was a microsoft outage. nobody told me, of course.
today sign-up worked, so i went looking for the code signing service. couldn't find it. it used to be called trusted signing, now it's artifact signing, and before you can use it you have to register a "resource provider" in your subscription. sure. obviously.
next step: "identity validation". fine. i fill in the company details. they show me a qr code for microsoft authenticator. i scan it.
"you don't have any usable ids."
turns out that qr code is for showing your id, not getting one. to get one you go to a third-party site:
and then face check failed. the camera did not recognize my face. my own face.
the official fix: delete the request, delete the id, start again from the beginning.
and if it works, microsoft then reviews the company for 1 to 20 business days.
all this so windows stops telling people my app might be dangerous.
the more trillions they have the more crappy the software becomes
@Floppy Yeah, I needed this for Pixelfed and was going to make a small laravel service for this, but then I figured other projects could benefit from this, and FediDB already has a powerful fediverse auth system, so it was a perfect match!
@dansup yes indeed! Set me up as Manyfold admin :)
I just saw a bunch of 90s nostalgia bait and all it makes me think is "I'm so glad the past is gone. It's so much better now."
@futurebird Some things are. Pop culture can be revealing. One thing to learn from the past, is that linear predictions about society tend to break down.

@baldur 1. Bear in mind that the rest of us appreciate you.
Mostly though I just get the scammers, who get an instant block/report.
@alan Thanks. And, yeah, I use the mute button quite a bit.
Whenever I read a news article about someone being arrested and it gives their street and town, wherever they live and whatever the crime, I have a little stroll down their road on Street View in Google Maps.
@fesshole Always. Also, every TV programme about true crime features glimpses of recognisable shops and business t track down. Dramas too, including the car chases in The Jackal. What a time to be alive.
(Almost) ready to turn my beloved MacBook Air 2013 - which is gathering dust on a shelf - into a #Linux laptop.
Only problem: multiple people might have swayed me to pick Arch Linux as the distro. #ArchLinux!!! I know NOTHING but from all the Linux memes I've seen over the years, I've always been intimidated by it.
Debating whether to go with it or #Mint or #Ubuntu. Thoughts?
Edit / update: it's now a toss-up between Mint and Fedora. I may try Arch on my Raspi4
@_elena don't need to be too afraid of arch it exist some GUI installer like rebornos or garuda.
I will personally not go to Ubuntu like, they moved more and more software in their snap store. Eventually Debian which is now extremely easy to install.
"Only" 4 days to go until Alaska finishes counting their votes. But that may still not be the end. If no candidate reaches 50% plus 1 vote, a new count will start, this time using ranked-choice tabulation and only after that we will have a final result.
@dansup ooh, that’s an interesting idea!
@Floppy Yeah, I needed this for Pixelfed and was going to make a small laravel service for this, but then I figured other projects could benefit from this, and FediDB already has a powerful fediverse auth system, so it was a perfect match!
It seems to be so common to follow people on social media just to disagree with everything they post and routinely insult them.
It's not fun for either party involved. Way better for your mental health to just unfollow me.

@Slash909uk @phlash for me, no - I’m running Beszel and Dozzle at home and they’re perfectly fine for my needs. It’s more about adding instrumentation options for other users of the software, if they’re running commercial services for instance.
@Floppy @phlash ooh cool! I did not know about these tools for Docker 🙂 (I'm using Sylve on FreeBSD which is a similar idea, but less complete so far..)
Regards providing some API for operators to hook into your services and extract instrumentation, maybe a basic prometheus metrics endpoint would suffice? The interesting part is choosing what metrics to expose.. Experience running the services is probably the most valuable input to that 🙂 i.e. knowing what breaks and where the weak points are.

President Zelenskyy says Ukrainians would have the final say on any potential deal involving Donbas that includes guarantees from NATO and the EU. https://kyivindependent.com/us-floats-nato-membership-for-ukraine-in-exchange-for-donbas-withdrawal-zelensky-says/
@newsguyusa Ukraine was promised protection if they gave up the nuclear weapons in their possession following the break up of the Soviet Union. Obviously, that was a promise forgotten. I wonder if there isn’t a lot of frustration among Ukrainians who remember now that promises of protection are again floating if they are willing to abandon some of their territory.
Sometimes I have a student who has to work much harder than their peers just to keep up with the mathematics. It could be that they have less experience with math, it could be that math is difficult for them, but it can be discouraging to work as hard or harder than everyone else and just get a C-
It can make you feel really small and not very smart. Even if objectively you know that isn't really true.
For those who have been that student what helped you to keep going?
@futurebird once you get lost learning math you'll find yourself swirling the drain unless and until you backtrack, repair the damage then get back on the path. figure out when that happened and you'll be able to reboot the kid. worked for me.
The mass evacuation of neighborhoods within a mile blast radius of BioUrja Renewables in Peoria will continue well into today after police said a suspicious package was determined to be a credible bomb threat. https://www.25newsnow.com/2026/11/14/much-downtown-peoria-shut-down-due-bomb-threat-biourja/
@newsguyusa impressive show of caution. 1 atmosphere overpressure at one mile needs over 20 kilotons. The Beirut explosion was 3kT IIRC
Admittedly, 1 sudden atm is best avoided.
What do they think is in the factory, I wonder.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
