Have EDC kits gone too far?

For me the EDC (Everyday Carry) has always been about lightweight, portability and minimalism.

Nowadays many people consider EDC a bag full of stuff they won't take out when they go jogging or grab a beer.

So what's the point? Stick to the essential, non invasive and light 3-4 tools you REALLY need.

A couple of nights ago I dropped a glass dish on the kitchen floor and it broke into hundreds of tiny pieces 😿

I swept up what I could see and used a torch to help me find the pieces that I missed. The glass glinted in the light beam and located even tiny fragments.

It seemed like an interesting analogy for #SoftwareTesting. What #tools (designed for testing or any other purpose) do you point at software to expose problems that are not naturally visible?

Reorganizing the garage here. Slapped together some tool storage to free up shelf space today.

Worked out alright and now there's a ton of space on the shelf where these were laying before 👍

This time I managed to do everything with scrap wood and various mismatching screws that were laying around.

Five tools, hanging from a wall mounted plank of wood. From right to left, a hedge trimmer, two chainsaws and two cement/paint mixers.

Right two rounded top wood brackets with a stopper piece on the front, and far right a custom friction bracket for the hedge trimmer.

What I'm dying to see out of #ProgrammingLanguages, #tools and #FOSS in the near future is even more package managers. You can never have too many package managers. We already have a different package manager per language, and considering everyone thinks this is so amazing, why stop there? If you're really serious about your project, if you dream that it may become Your Project Foundation one day, ship it with it's own package manager, and, hell, add a fancy new build system. The worst thing you could do is narrow your ambitions down to software that plays nicely within a greater universe of user tools, because you must seek to not to attract not users but rather Projectstaceans for whom the sky is the limit, an individual ecosystem is the only serious contemporary #FreeSoftware goal.

Koolkits provide opinionated, language-specific, batteries-included debug container images for Kubernetes.

Why? — Since production containers are usually rather bare, using a KoolKit enables you to troubleshoot with power tools instead of relying on what was left behind due to the generosity (or carelessness) of whoever originally built the production image.

I have looked at quite a few tools/search engines powered by models like GPT-3/4, but perplexity.ai and phind.com i think are the best around, (i personally don't like Bing)
Perplexity even allows you a daily limited number of GPT-4 queries and has the Wolfram plugin, great for math queries.
But if people disagree or think others are better, please let me know 🙂
As always, don't trust those tools, always check/verify outcomes, don't use confidential data

Most tools will use AI technologies in the back-end to achieve their goals. Currently this includes OpenAI's models. As the tools and backend improve, the intent is to move to an open source alternative.

So I'm making my dad a personal website this weekend. It's extremely simple- static site, ~ 3 pages with some basic css. Links and text, maybe a single image.

I feel like every tool I'd each for is great at building complex or large sites, but I don't need that. I need "1 step above raw #HTML".

Right now my best idea is HAML and a build script (and manual #CSS).

So my gas lawnmower died and I took the plunge on a 40V Kobalt battery powered mower. While I can tell there's s little less torque it gets the job done just as well.

Then my chainsaw bit the dust and I bought a 40V Kobalt battery powered chainsaw. I was SUPER SKEPTICAL. A battery powered chainsaw? You've got to be kidding.

It's hands down the best chainsaw I've used. No fumes, pretty quiet, and the battery lasts a long time.

Company that makes millions #spying on students will get to sue a whistleblower (permalink)

"Yesterday, the Court of Appeal for British Columbia handed down a jaw-droppingly stupid and terrible decision, rejecting the whistleblower Ian Linkletter's claim that he was engaged in legitimate criticism when he linked to freely available materials from the ed-tech surveillance company Proctorio:

#Proctorio is a massive, wildly profitable ed-tech company that sells a surveillance tool to monitor students while they take high-stakes tests from home. The tool monitors the student's computer and the student's face, especially their eye-movements. It also allows instructors and other personnel to watch the students and even take control of their computer. This is called "remote invigilation.""

Is there a tool to which I could provide a list of the folks I follow, and my home instance, and see how many of them are on instances that block mine, or that mine blocks?

As server admins decide to defederate with each other over policy and behavior differences, I'd like to keep following folks, even if my admin decides their server is "bad."

I can move servers, but it would be useful to know if/when folks I follow get blocked this way.

Thanks.
