What are we up to tonight, friends? We now have a pair of Black Hawks menacing our city at very low altitude.

Blake Garner @trode@hachyderm.io · Jul 22, 2026

Blackhawks are looking for Jimothy in our hood.

@jerry@infosec.exchange Did I do a nation-state actor-style compromise of a possible threat to our business model? Ooops, just benchmarking bro

@saron@front-end.social Yep, set it up with claude, appreciated that it works on macOS 26. Did some validation of website changes I'm making for my personal weather station. Validated that changes to graphs are showing up. works as expected and zero npx needed!

@glennf@zeppelin.flights I have enjoyed adding blogs that likely forgot they have RSS feeds to Tapestry. Muffling and muting posts is really helpful.

RE: @macrumors@mastodon.social

Bought 2 M4 minis. One for our TV box and one for my daughter for desktop gaming and pro creation tools. Glad we got them before this went down. I'm due for a Studio upgrade when M5 drops, and I'm not looking forward to the price hikes. While I'm an AI user, I'm also for regulating the shit out of these companies, squeezing resources!

@rcarmo@mastodon.social Understandable as open source project interactions are not always fun.

@rcarmo@mastodon.social You're going to add enhancements to previous and upstream them? I run previous on an M1 Mac and maintain the MacPorts port for it. Definitntly interested in testing improvements out when they are ready.

@viticci at some point the wallpaper service will start consuming 100% CPU until the dock stops responding. There is a plist that will store details of every desktop pattern and cause the hang.

@theirongiant @torbar @Seg @kraptv some of us have IPs that change at our ISPs whim and use ddns to update them. I agree that purging inactive entries is a good idea. If people are rendering hostnames to IPs and not refreshing often that causes breakage.
