#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand

A small human (3?) is huffing and puffing waiting for Mum to finish talking with a friend.
He tugs Mum's jumper.
Hmm, no reaction.
Well this is vexing.
What if he licks this cafe window?
Darting a look at Mum
Poking his tongue out as far as it'll go
aaaaand...
AH HA!
NOW she's paying attention!

A tiny human (2?) and Dad are hard at work colouring a picture of a horse.
Both holding onto the pink pencil.
Wearing matching frowns of concentration.
Rain falling outside the window.
The scent of coffee in the air.

A tiny human (2?) is told by Mum to return the three Matchbox cars he's been playing with to the cafe's toybox.
He studies them for a moment, hands on hips.
Mum's suggesting he take them all at once,
but nope!
One at a time.
That's the way.
Stomping back and forward with MAXIMUM purpose.

A tiny wriggly puppy (beagle cross bouncy ball?) doesn't quite understand the concept of going for a walk.
Roly-polying on his back.
Squirm tummying up to his human.
Waggy tailing at every passerby.
Puppy kisses for EVERYONE.
(Who needs to walk anyway when there's this much love to go around?)

A man (30s?) bolts into a cafe.
Expression harried,
Eyes wide as they alight on the cake display.
He stops in front of the counter and shakes his head.
"Don't tell me I missed the muffins!"
The server laughs. "You missed the muffins."
"I missed the muffins?!"
"You missed the muffins."

The US government has designated the Italian collective Autistici/Inventati, which produces the infrastructure of NoBlogs.org, a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist," freezing their assets and prohibiting all transactions with them——citing their "far-left" politics and the fact that they have provided services to "anti-fascist" groups for justification.

Autistici/Inventati is an activist-oriented tech project that offers encrypted communications tools, email, web hosting, secure chat, and video conferencing platforms for users who prefer to stay off corporate grids.

This is what the US government is shutting down as "terrorism."

Opinion | It Was Inevitable That Trump Would Come to This - The New York Times

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/opinion/trump-king-canada-trade-war.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8lA.h8WZ.eSFtk1j_OQHd&smid=url-share

Continuing my study of SdFat, though other side of the frontend is not just using existing filesystems but initializing new ones.

For this the format() method branches over the SD card's capacity to choose sector quantity per cluster, defers to one of 2 methods whilst outputting results to the console. Both of which shares a method for initializing the root directory by zeroing out the 1st several sectors with log messages, & fills both FATs with all 1s except their 1st byte (hex-F8).

1/3?

They also share a method for initializing "PBS" metadata, whatever PBS standards for in this context. As well as another method for "MBR" metadata, which I seem to recall standards for Master Boot Record.

For FAT16 it iterates over sectors to count them (ignoring a boot partition), validates sector count & derives some metadata from it, writes the MBR, followed by PBR if successful, populates & writes some additional metadata, & creates the root directory.

2/3?

For FAT32 it uses some extremely similar logic, to the point where my synopsis would be exactly the same.

2.1/2.1 Fin! Seems like that covers it...

Tomorrow: Briefly synopsize ExFat support & some support code.

Ich freue mich, mal über Basics des Bibliothekswesens Rede und Antwort stehen zu können.
Bibliothekswissenschaft alive and kicking - die Dringlichkeit dieser Fragen wird erkannt, und das ist gut und wichtig so! Ich hoffe das kommt auf unserer Mastodon-Instanz Openbiblio an. Wir sind keine Insel im Fediverse.

Fun fact: in UTF-8, Unicode ellipsis (U+2026, …) occupies the same 3 bytes of memory as just three dots in a row (...)

@dj@toot.aquilenet.fr @dada@diaspodon.fr Bah c'est le cas du resseau Stan...

@Lambo @claudius @DNB_Aktuelles Was ich begrüßenswert finde. Aber aktuell fehlt mir leider das Vertrauen in die politische Stabilität der nächsten Jahrzehnte und Jahrhunderte, um mich auf staatliche Behörden als einzigen Archivar verlassen zu wollen.

You know how far we've fallen when "no artificial intelligence" is called out as a feature.

Kudos, @libreoffice!

LibreOffice 26.8 brings professional typography, deeper support for the world’s writing systems, and no artificial intelligence

@Lambo @claudius @DNB_Aktuelles Selbstverlag wird aber immer populärer, gerade wenn man E-Books veröffentlicht oder auch Plattformen wie bei uns Lulu. Perfiderweise sehen solche Plattformen wie ein Verlag aus, aber bei genauerer Betrachtung nehmen sie diese Rolle offenbar nicht immer ein sondern übernehmen nur Druck und Vertrieb für einen.

One of my fave Oakland taco trucks (La Grana Fish) has a keto option where, instead of the tortilla, they do the tacos on a crust of fried cheese

I’m not keto but hot damn
