I was a good fairy today and did all the learning stuff I had on my list. I now know how to place (S)EMG electrodes and wrote code for some more or less interesting image processing stuff.

Where is my food now?

Is there a better flash card system (not for languages) than anki?

It should have an android app + linux version to edit / write the cards.

Ok I don't get the oat thing but that's cool. I usually don't get those memes 👾

Those days when we used to put hours into making html pages with tiled backgrounds, lots of tables and all the strange fonts 👾 Yes I am that old.

Just stumbled upon a site with frameset omg they still exist 👻

there's a stream of live coding of development work on the EFF's Certbot! ( certbot.eff.org/ which i guess many people here are familiar with already :3 )

check it out if that's your idea of a good time!~

introduction stuff is happening now talking about the project~

I could work on some assignments or I could just hang out on mastodon and follow every link that sounds interesting.

Any suggestions? ^^

#bulletjournaling today i watched a YT video and the person had a monthly wish list, directly next to their goals/todo-list. how great is that? I made one for my november setup too, to make sure I fit in some me-time and stuff for myself and time with friends the coming month!

There is a new wireless daemon for Linux called iwd, developed by Intel to be an alternative to wpa_supplicant. It is meant to be more lightweight, e.g. to run on embedded devices. Also, I think it should be more consistent in its view of the wireless network status, as I learned in the talk at the "All Systems Go" conference.

I just checked out and compiled the code: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network
It's released under LGPL.

I loved the limited space on a tape because it's just the perfect fit for my autistic brain which is in love with repetition ^^ Yes I like loops and short playlists so this is just perfect.

I could of course burn audio to CD and then use my old player/recorder for the cd->tape part. Or I could try to get a walkman with a 3.5mm line in and connect it to the PC.

It's not magic I just need a walkman now!

I'm one of those now I guess :computerfairies:

I still have an old CD and tape player and recorder thing and old mixtapes. But I would really love a portable player again.

There are those tape to usb/mp3 converter things out there. But I would love to be able to convert in the other direction. mp3 to tape.

preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: figshare.com/articles/Evaluati mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFw
