Okay, this book got real weird real fast. I have so many questions, but I guess I'll just have to keep reading.

Just grabbed a recipe off of gopher. It was amazing. No dodging ads. No popups. No cookie settings. Just the recipe I wanted.
This only served to reinforce for me what trash the modern web is.

That said, I'd like to be able to at least copy the link to put it somewhere useful.

We made burgers for dinner last night. Now the whole apartment still smells like burgers.
I suppose there are worse things it could smell like.

Neighbour just gave us an earful because the car was parked "crooked". It was off by perhaps 5 degrees.
Seriously?
I moved it and gave her more space, but now I'm crowding out the car to my right.

My partner wants to share a sewing pattern on the internet somewhere. She's not trying to sell it, just have it in a place where people can get it. Is there a thingiverse/printables type place for sewing stuff (that is also free to post things on, and is also not "run your own website")?
things that are not this:
- freesewing.org (neat, but does not appear to be a place intended for people to upload their own things)
- artisans.coop, etsy, other similar sites (these are storefronts, she literally just wants to share a file, the same thing 3d printing people do with thingiverse)
- a git forge (I... guess you *could* do that? is that a thing people do in practice?)

Shout-out to @artcollisions and @bammerlaan for both pitching @freesewing much appreciated 😊
Seems like @emily is looking for a place to dump a PDF or something. That's not what FreeSewing does (my life would be so much easier if it was 😂 ) .
Emily, if your partner ever wants to get into parametric design, refer them to our contributor docs: freesewing.dev/
FreeSewing is an open source Javascript library for parametric sewing patternsfreesewing.dev
It's that time again: time to clean my #BaystateBlue #FountainPen. How many times do you think I'll have to run it through the ultrasonic 'till the water stops turning blue?
Time will tell.

Learning to sew was decidedly one of the best investments of my time in recent memory. I was just able to mend a jacket that I really love. It's perhaps not the neatest stitching job ever, but it's pretty secure again and not in a paricularly visible spot.
The cost? A little bit of thread and about a half hour of my time, versus buying a whole new jacket that I probably wouldn't like as much. I'll take that deal any day.

For some reason I can't SSH from my laptop to my #Gitea server via its public interface. It just keeps timing out. It's only the laptop having this issue; my tablet and phone are doing this just fine. I was finally able to push my commits by sending them directly over the LAN instead. I've tried resetting the VPN on the laptop, but it's still not working normally.
I am officially confused.
Edit: Mystery solved. I forgot to pay my VPN provider... again.

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Friendica (I hadn't noticed there was an update until yesterday) and now when I see a post on my timeline from one of the less popular services (e.g.: BookWyrm) there is no longer an icon in the corner of the post linking me back to the source. There used to at least be an icon for the protocol with a link back to the source post. Is there no way to find this now?
Edit: The problem turned out to be that some of the icons weren't visible against my theme's black background.
Edit 2: Changing the theme and then changing it back fixed the problem for some reason.

Yesterday, after more than four decades of frustration, I finally learned to solve a Rubik's cube. Not content with just that, I decided to get creative today. This was harder than I expected.
Edit: apparently it's *way* easier to do this from a solved cube than the way I was doing it. I feel less accomplished now. 🙃
Jonathan Lamothe reshared this.
Assuming you're not just making a joke, you are going to be amused when you find out the simple 3 move method of replicating that pattern.
(I'm assuming you used a cube solving method to create that classic pattern. That would involve a lot of moves, and a lot of visual confusion as your end goal colors are swapped around for the edge pieces.)

"Let me put this in terms that even the most ideological libertarians can understand. Say you think there should be precisely one regulation that governments should enforce: honoring contracts. For the government to serve as referee in that game, it must have the power to compel the players to honor their contracts. Which means that the smallest government you can have is determined by the largest corporation you're willing to permit."

Called for a tow to take our disabled car to the mechanic. The muffler was dragging on the ground. Not only did they not send a flatbed (which they're now having to dispatch) but the snow under the car has melted and re-frozen so the still somewhat attached muffler is lodged in a block of ice...
It's going to be one of those days...

The mechanic's trying to price out replacement parts for us. In the meantime, since the car is still technically driveable, we've taken it home. Hopefully, he'll be able to get us a good deal.
In the meantime, I take some solice in the fact that some people pay a lot of money to get a car that sounds like this one.
(my apologies to the neighbours, though)

The wizard studied the inscription on the door. "The script is ancient Elvish...."
"Ooh!" the dwarf said. "I know this one! Speak 'friend' and enter!"
"No," replied the wizard. "It says: downloadeth the Gates of Moria App, for this is how you open the gates."
The hafling nodded. "Makes sense. Everything's an app these days."
"Just what I need, another useless app on my phone." The wizard stared at his device. "Well, crap. I can't get cell service in these mountains...."
