@howking@mastodonczech.cz oh yeah I get your point, most of the time I'm stuck behind cars since they take up so much space on the road. Anyway, thanks for your perspective 😊

@howking@mastodonczech.cz so I can't pay to use my bike on the road then? So people don't have what they can afford, they have what is built for them?

@howking@mastodonczech.cz I do use bike paths, and appreciate how much I can stay safe off the road! But sadly there are lots of places where there's no bike path—so who do I pay to get space for my bike in those cases?

@howking@mastodonczech.cz why should I need a car to get to work? It would take me longer to drive and slow everyone else down, which seems worse for everyone imo

I reopen Spotify (still premium until next month) and it decides this is the perfect time for a full screen interstitial "sponsored recommendation" ... 🤔

Main complaint is that the header doesn't collapse when scrolling, so there's only really enough room to see one full row of albums

Using Shelv as a client just because I wanted something free to test with. It's pretty decent, mostly only UI quibbles

Also I can listen to Naughty Music™ that's not allowed on streamers, ie mashups like Girl Talk's All Day and Neil Cicierega's Mouth Moods

I'd appreciate any pointers on what works well vis a vis self hosting music streaming. Some kind of server and an iOS client. MacOS client would be nice too.

I'm looking into self-hosted music streaming. If you're going to AI generate your website, can you like turn the temperature up all the way or something? I know maybe this could just be tailwind overuse. I am guilty of doing everything with Bootstrap in 2011-2015 but idk think different or something

@pointlessone@status.pointless.one So I learnt today that the <<: *foo syntax (called a merge key) is only in YAML 1.1 (https://yaml.org/type/merge.html) and not YAML 1.2.
But seemingly a bunch of YAML 1.2 parsers include it, which is why I expected it to work.

To be fair, Pages has a ~99% uptime, and the CDN is through Fastly (iirc?), so it seems like that part is pretty stable

@wezm I don't understand why you'd work with a weird custom Arch distro instead of working with Arch themselves. Surely all the work to get drivers cooperating will be done upstream, so why not work with the upstream?

I've been a bit naughty. I run wiki-rss.javanut.net which posts featured and trending articles a few times a day. It gets the typical background noise of requests to BS paths, which I was responding with a zipbomb.
Now I'm responding with an HTML page with a few other BS links and some text. I've managed to ensnare a little Claude-SearchBot into making a request every minute or so to a new path 😬

Since apparently it's important that your tools are added as co-authors to your commits:

@atpfm@mastodon.social the South Island of New Zealand is often referred to as "the mainland" even though it's only ~30% bigger than the North Island. Also NZ is three islands (not a million) according to the national anthem.
