a painting, a fantasy scene, on top of a ship is a warrior character, wearing a vest with his arms bare, a helmet with antlers on it on his head, he is raising a sword, his other arm pointing in the air, there are many other warriors behind him, the background is foggy, a large structure can barely be seen through the fog
the painting, now on a paperback book cover, the top in black letters reads 'michael moorcock' and in smaller-sized red letters underneath it says 'the sailor on the seas of fate' and then in smaller red letters underneath it says 'the new elric novel'

So all you #nerds, #nerdettes, #geeks, #cyberpunks, #chooms and adjacent peeps: how do you cyber up your life?

Do you have a #cyberdeck for daily use?
Any cool gadgets or #techwear?
Souped up terminal prompt beyond oh-my-zsh?
Any other useful desktop apps which help you trough the day?
All the RGB you can fit into your room?
Preaching the gospel of #Arch Linux?

I kinda feel pretty un-cyber these days and was wondering…

Lovely Peeps! 👋

Came across this today: "Five Questions To Ask A Prospective Bishop"

This stood out: 'What is the nature of their vision? True vision does three things: it sees things as they are, both the sorryness & grandeur; it connects people to each other in both curiosity & solidarity...'

It made me think of #Mastodon; not perfect, but filled with #artists, #activists, #scientists, #philosophers, & #geeks, all trying their best to connect & uplift.

💛 you all.

We need more places to be weird.

At comic-con there were lots of other geeks and artists dressed up that I wanted to chat with more, but they weren't really talking to each other. Most of the venue and interactions had to be about selling something.

That's what capitalism does. It takes a chance to make meaningful connections and turns it into a storefront.

We need more room for expressive people to actually meet each other.

#geeks using the #GitHub API
⚠️ sometimes things that should _always_ have a user, don't. For example. A Review or a Comment have to be left by a user, even if that user is a bot, but sometimes the returned data doesn't contain it.

Apparently, when a user deletes their account, GitHub leaves dangling pointers. You'll see this in the UI, but on the back end it's just data with an impossible state. They don't repoint things to this "ghost" account

a screenshot from GitHub. It has a ghostly user icon that looks like the western idea of ghosts looking like translucent white sheets. the top of it has the shape of OctoKitty's head. 

it says 

ghost Deleted user

Hi, I'm @ghost! I take the place of user accounts that have been deleted. 👻

#geeks is there a term for :foo-bar: style emoji replacements? I'm hoping it's not just "slack style emojis" ?

Just realized i kinda want them in #devgood I can prolly just copy however mastodon did it but I'd like to do some "comparison shopping" of ways to do it first.

:twitter: 🔥 Someone named Jeremy Vaught got the @music account taken away by #Musk and #Twitter. Not a shock.

:fediverse: According to the article, they are apparently on #Mastodon but don't think there's any activity in the #Fediverse.

:boost_love: :boost_ok: Let's prove otherwise to them and others who think the same. Boost this post to share the article and show them all that this is a great home for both #geeks, #music fans, and everybody else.

This would be a curated weekly subscription where you receive letters from various experts in niche fields who get to geek out about the coolest parts of their favorite topic.

It could be a wide variety of topics, ranging from underappreciated deep sea animals to collectible coins to sailings ships to comic book history to heritage apple orchards to... whatever. Really. One of my favorite things to do is listen to people talk about things they adore.

#geeks
our codebase has "snippets" (don't ask ) that have a hardcoded central list.

if you add or delete to the list (which of course you need to from time to time) multiple tests fail because they're testing "magic numbers" that are just counting subsets of the list.

don't do this.
Make meaningful tests. Don't test that a list contains 96 items. Test that a FUNCTION returns items matching the criteria that generated it. Give the function TEST input and then test how it response.

#geeks anyone know of some example code for screen-scraping #trello ?

adding a "Power Up" isn't an option in my use case and they don't have a reasonable API for users so ... screen scraping, but calling the url of a "card" with your cookie doesn't actually get you the content of the card. ARGH

I can figure this out, but i'd rather not reinvent the wheel if i don't have to.

hey #tech #geeks what do you do with the dozens of miscellaneous power adapters around the house that might be unique to some device you can’t currently think of, and are therefore scared to throw out?

If your reaction to this is, “what do you mean, *dozens* of adapters?”, then you are not the target audience for this post.

@in3dca now make the icons that indicate which burner the knob controls make sense

The designers of This old stove decided that perfectly symmetrical knobs with a line of paint was the best choice. It wasn't. With repeated cleaning over the years, the paint has worn off. The interim fix was to use a marker to replace the paint, but that needs to be refreshed every so often. So I decided to fix the problem once and for all. It was only after the first print that I realized that it's more of a Star Trek knob.

Ran this test print past my wife and she said "make it so!"; I told her every time she uses a knob, from now on she has to say "engage!"

#freeCAD #f3cd #MadeWithFreeCAD #geeks #3dprinting

The controls for the burner elements of an oven, the left control is white with a semicircular tab. On the top of the tab there is a hand drawn line in black marker. On the right a red 3d-printed knob with an arrowhead tab. The top of the tab projects beyond the base circle. The bottom of the arrowhead is an acute angle. Together with the circle, the overall effect is similar to the Federation logo in the Star Trek series.
