@citizen428 lol same, like 6 months ago (after like 10 years of not using it much).

It’s come a LONG way. Like actually nuts how good it is now. And there’s been a resurgence of package development too. Like within the last year or so we’ve gotten actually good terminal emulation (ghostel, wrapping Ghostty) and TRAMP (emacs-tramp-rpc).

I however DID get sucked back into doing everything inside the environment. I even wrote my own Matrix client over vacation last month 😂

This is Eric, son of Madam Namuddu Annet, a parent who visited us to appreciate our collaboration with Jerome Academy in Lunnya.

She was happy to see her child enjoying garden work, especially after our recent maize harvest with the school. Seeing parents appreciate the impact of school gardening means a lot to us.

So what happens is that if we ever see a collision, the "earlier" object in any particular repository will always end up overriding. But note that "earlier" is obviously per-repository, in the sense that the git object network generates a DAG that is not fully ordered, so while different repositories will agree about what is "earlier" in the case of direct ancestry, if the object came through separate and not directly related branches, two different repos may obviously have gotten the two objects in
different order.

cc @SRAZKVT this is what i wanted to develop for spack, around recording the date an object or tree was first visible to a mirror, since the timestamp on a commit patch can obviously just be backdated. the time something was pulled and where it was pulled from (and separating that from internal state) is a huge chore with git because it's constantly mutating the object database during fetch operations

#TTRPG #worldbuilding thought: How do religious institutions in your setting finance themselves?

The most common answers seem to be "donations" and "tithes or taxes", because that's what most people today know. But looking at German history, quite a few monasteries actually specialized in some kind of trade. Brewing beer was popular, as was cultivating wine. And some even developed expertise in mining and construction, and hired themselves out as consultants!

So, what else might your temples, churches, monasteries or whatever do in order to generate some extra income?

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Canada-U.S. trade negotiations

We have recognised from the beginning that America has changed, and that we will not return to our old relationship. Our government understood, before many, that America is altering all its trade relationships. Putting tariffs on its closest allies and charging for access to its vast market.

One of my weekend plans is that I'll spin down my botanica-test GtS instance, it served its purpose: proving that the host and account domain being on two entirely separate domains is fine, the vast majority of the fediverse handles it acceptably at worst, and entirely fine most of the time.

So I'll be dropping the -test part, and will spin up the Real Deal. Initially there will be two bots:

@campsis_radicans, for announcements, and as a stand-in for the "admin" role. I chose this name because the Hungarian name is "Trombitafolyondár", where "Trombita" is trumpet, and that felt like an appropriate choice for announcements. Fanfare and all, y'know.

The other bot's name is undecided, it'll be some kind of pine tree, and I'll use it to post stuff like: "algernon is suffering from a serious lack of caffeine. Cognitive abilities operating at five percent. We keep monitoring the situation." The idea is to be kind of a "current mood" bot, but worded as a status page entry. The current plan is to find a nice sounding latin pinetree name, and use that, because the account is going to post fake stuff, and the first fake plant that came to mind are fake christmas trees.

Progress so far:

Old test instance torn down, new one spinned up.
@campsis_radicans is up, has an "intro" post.
@quench_tank migrated to @humulus_lupulus
@smoking_gnu migrated to @pinus_resinosa

I ended up using the Pine Tree for the alert bot. Pinus Resinosa is Red Pine, alerts are red or green most of the time, so that kind of tracks.

Still pondering the name for the status bot.

spent all day looking at various types of computers to go inside my bag (max height 190mm) that are not an iPad:

* Small (sub-12") laptops
* Android Tablets
* Android Smartphone & External Display
* Single Board Computer & External Display

I have come to the conclusion that I should just suck it up and have two bags, ugh. All the little computers suck in one way or another (either they're priced way too high thanks to the RAM apocalypse) or are computationally gimped either by the manufacturer, or sub-par specs due to software bloat.

L’accord d’association UE–Israël, que le gouvernement français REFUSE DE SUSPENDRE malgré le génocide perpétré contre le peuple palestinien à Gaza, malgré la colonisation et la sauvagerie de l’Etat d’Israël en Cisjordanie occupée, n’est pas seulement un scandale au regard de la violation de son article 2 – qui fonde l’accord sur le respect des droits de l’homme.

C' est une insulte aux agriculteurs français, qui souffrent d’une sécheresse historique et qui subissent une concurrence déloyale.

Ainsi, les produits agricoles israéliens sont dispensés de droits de douane et jouissent d’un accès facilité au marché européen.
