Ham radio. Still at the discovery stage of whats what, thinking about what I want to get into, which means lots of fun learning about everything, as usual in a totally random manor. Trying to avoid getting sidetracked by the VHF/UHF stuff as it would just rapidly spiral out of control.

Just need to knuckle down and study for the foundation exam so I can actually get started transmitting. I think I have the QRP setup I want more or less nailed down that would tide me over till I can move up to intermediate later on. Would give me a nice QRP setup for travel and allow me to treat myself for passing my intermediate with a proper shack radio with a bit more power.

I'm more interested in its lesser known cousin, Rum Ham Radio.

Well, I crocheted a beret today and started a trihexaflexagon for my wife's birthday the other day. So I suppose it's crochet this week.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's rad. How did the beret turn out?

Also, this is the first time reading out trihexaflexagon and also getting a refresher as to what it is. It's a really fun word to say. Makes me feel like a top tier rapper when I say it out loud. haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

It turned out pretty well, it was my first time improvising a pattern from looking at a finished piece. I ran out of yarn right before transitioning from the top of the beret to the head band, but my wife let me use some of her black yarn to finish it off.

There's a little bit of a visual indication that the black starts before the end of the round, but it's only like 10 stitches (out of 100) so it's not very noticeable.

The top of the beret – had some slight problems, but I wormed my way around them. I think I may have made too many sections (10 is a lot) but it's too late now, lol.

The underside of the beret.

International Humanitarian Law which defines war crimes and such.

As it turns out most people who cry about war crimes on the internet don’t know the first thing about them.

The creativity and inquisitive curiousity in this thread is honestly inspiring and heartwarming.

My week was spent in object oriented code and log burning stove installation. The cherry on the top was putting my knee through the glass so last night was devoted to thinking about how it can be repaired without spending more money.

Rain World Modding

I already know C# so I thought it wouldn't be that difficult, but I was very wrong. Rain World is a game made with Unity, but the only part they use Unity for is rendering. And the game also doesn't ship with debug symbols. Doesn't help that the modding wiki is outdated at places and incomplete. Took a lot of guess work and looking at other mods to figure out what to do, but I got there at the end and learned a lot.

One of my 2025 goals is to learn to draw well, and I've been making slow, steady progress at that. My goals are 2-fold - make quality drawings of furniture for my other new hobby, woodworking - and draw cursed shit that is disturbing to friends and family alike. Here's a texture study I did yesterday in about an hour. All Your Soul are Belong to Us

Drove through Weldon, NC —> list of famous people —> Garland H. White —> 28th infantry of the USCT (US Colored Troops) —> Buffalo Soilders —> Brigadier General Charles Young Tree (NPS) —> Brigadier General Charles H. Young

So I took myself on a Black History Month tour while riding to daughters gymnastics competition.

I bought a new domain name for my indie web presence, so that I can keep my boring professional stuff separate.

[–] bitfucker 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have 3 domains... I need help

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's a totally reasonable number!

Also, just an FYI you can use nginx as to serve multiple domains/websites from a single server on the cheap. ;)

[–] bitfucker 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I know how to manage a server thankfully lol. I am planning to split the 3 domains for different purposes since as of now I only use them for my email.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh nice. What kind of 'indie stuff' are you making?

I did see that you're into writing. That's cool. I've been trying to stick with it. I have a decent amount of ideas for stories but not enough typed out. =/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?

So far, it's just my morning pages. I figure if I share my most raw and unfinished stuff, then it will be mentally easier to share the stuff I actually put polish into.

I have this server running an Quartz frontend, that I can just push markdown files to. But yeah, that'll probably move to a subdomain, and the main site will be wacky neocities type stuff, idk. Something rough and fun, though.

Been playing around with a book idea. It's in the style of the Ouipo inspired book, A Void. The book, written in French, is done so without using the letter "e". Perec is a mad man and an amazing writer. And I don't think anything I will write will be anywhere near that quality.

I want to write something similar that is a world without 'ai' (written by AI*). It's been fun structuring chapters, characters, themes, settings, etc. I'm not a writer by training, but I do like word play and so this has been fun.

I have no hope or dreams of publishing, but I might show a few friends who get it. And hope that it tickles them the way it tickles me.

* I really don't like the output so far. And I have my doubts about it becoming good. But I got something that wasn't outright bad the other night. So who knows?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I once read a book without punctuation. It was very difficult to read! It was about a hypothetical apocalypse where everyone suddenly goes blind.

"Blindness" by José Saramago

I don't specifically recommend it though.

Good luck writing your book 🙂

A buddy of mine just told me about an other one sentence. Dies: A Sentence is by Vanessa Place whose gotten more than a little heat lately for some of her provocative art. While I haven't read it, he says it's good. We have similar enough tastes that I trust him.

Lately, it's been the man pages for bash. Linux is a rabbit hole all on its own. The man pages lead you from one hole to another and each has its own usefulness. Who would have thought that reading the manual could actually be useful?
