Nice.

Nice to finally put this project to bed today.

After much heel dragging on my part, I've gotten #towncrier installed into ~24 of my repos.

Now it's just going to be a part of my normal workflow.🎉

Congressional report says that US AI datacenters *tripled* water usage. (Most especially due to increased electricity generation, but also for cooling.) https://forgeeks.net/us-data-centers-water-use-17-billion-gallons/

And that data is from 2023. 2023!!! What would it be like now?

@je

Well, crap.

Thank you for finding that.

Journalist Simon Ostrovsky sat down with Andrii to find out how Brave1 figured out how to gamify real-life war and how its points system both motivates soldiers and provides battlefield data that’s turning traditional military procurement on its head.

Anyone in the Seattle metro area: My best coworker friend and his two roommates are being evicted; they have until the end of the week to vacate, but there isn't anywhere for them that they can afford. Friend is their source of income making $3000/month. They need one bedroom, one bathroom, and enough space in the living room for a couch. Please DM me if you have something or know someone that does, I'd really like to get them helped! Boosts are greatly appreciated! #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest

General sewing knowledge taught to me in school, having worked its way into my spine enough for me to forget about, and now occurring to me like: "...Everyone knows this. Right??"

Whenever you're trying to make a lot of slippery fabric, overlapping layers or two fabrics of different weights to settle, like setting a lining on a skirt...

PET THE FABRIC. Just the act of gently smoothing your hand over it releases tensions between fibres and shifts the layers if you need them to move!

@etp Unfortunately, ÖBB scaled down their order last year from 33 new Nightjets to 24... https://presse-oebb.at/news-oebb-mehr-railjets-der-neuen-generation-fuer-den-wachsenden-tagesfernverkehr?id=220122&menueid=27021&l=deutsch

...with the last 3 delivered by the end of this year: https://sidetrack.blog/2026/05/23/obb-nightjet-new-generation-carriages-to-debut-on-amsterdam-zurich-route-in-december-2026/

24 trains is certainly more than zero and it opened up opportunities for new routes and/or for selling old trains to other operators, but stopping production of night trains now isn't ideal. 😬
