Secret Sneepsnop Gift Ideas:

* Adorable attempt at drawing someone's fursona
* Record yourself singing a song you wrote or just a popular song you change the lyrics about
* Gift a cheap game from steam or humblebumble that's cheesey and pertains to their interests or a joke about them
* Make a gamezine in pico8
* Write a very touching letter about their positive qualities
* Make a bot based on or inspired by their posts

Sneepsnop gifts are meant to be silly, cheap, and fun. It's about the exchange!!

💠ATTN: ANNOUNCING MASTODON SECRET SNEEPSNOP 2017💠

Secret Sneepsnop is like Secret Santa except it's a Sneepsnop.

A gift exchange where you get assigned someone on Mastodon to give a gift to and someone will be assigned to give you a gift.

Making creative works as gifts is encouraged, but not required. The entire exchange is *digital only.*

Sneepsnops will be assigned on December 11th and presents exchanges on December 21st.

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.

"The Web began dying in 2014, here's how" a very good overview of the problems we face in keeping the open web alive staltz.com/the-web-began-dying

obligatory comment: physical things fall apart in obvious ways, "digital" things deteriorate in often unnoticed ways xkcd.com/1909/#
preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: figshare.com/articles/Evaluati mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFw
