I was once a did:plc 🐛, but now I'm a did:web 🦋! If you were following me and want to keep following me, please follow me.

“A sandwich is like a Poptart” A trademark lawyer at Kellogg just twitched and doesn’t know why.

“Where did I put that AirTag?” I ask myself before realizing there is an easy solution to this problem. Yeah, I’m awake.

Doctor, does this did.json document look malformed to you? NARRATOR: Yes, yes it did.

Setting up my own federated PDS was delightfully easy. Hardest step was finding something in my camera roll that wasn't my kids to use as the profile picture.

The Pandemic is finally over!

Whenever anyone says OAuth what I see in my head is that conspiracy board meme with a wild haired person saying “no, really, it’s so easy.”

Writing up a PR that makes “mo” into red blinky text instead of looking like “m.”

Defrosted (stabbed with an ice scrapper until inch thick ice sheets fell off) the deep freezer while the food vacationed in the even colder outdoors. Traditional Snowpocolypse banana for scale.

ESC ESC :q!

I replaced my slow render Home Assistant dashboard to image with Chromium to display on eink screen solution with a hand written ESPHome solution. 10,000% more magic x,y offsets but I’m loving the low latency and partial refreshes it can do now.

I wonder what “original works of authorship" will be “fixed in a tangible medium” next year on this toy I already own?

This was the breakfast I set out for myself. I’m awake.

If you are expecting Santa tonight remember to clean all of the kids’ toys off the floor: if he trips and you ruin the world’s Christmas the loss of use lawsuits will bankrupt you.

Winter break shouldn’t be during winter.

Battlestar Galactica was advertised as being about the dangers of AI, but a supply chain attack was what crippled them. The same story could have been written with humans as the enemy with minimal changes.

This morning I woke up ready for the Monday grind and thought to myself “that weekend flew by!”

Preparing the annual thanksgiving day Gantt chart

House rule for the Bluey board game: if your clock is one tick before bedtime and you land on a double clock space, the clock overflows, you stay up all night, and continue playing with the clock at the starting value (instead of losing).

We're taking a break, so here's a comic from the archives. For all those board gaming parents out there, we see you! 😇 For more comics about board games visit www.semicoop.com

The first school/work day after a DST change (if such a thing must exist at all, of course) should be a national holiday of rest.

It is finally Friday in UTC+96:00. What a week!

Product idea: LEGOs but engineered to be silent when you are looking for a piece

A great way to see if the storage size alert on your offsite backup is working is to forget to exclude your fediverse database from the daily backup. 99.9% transient data.

You are famous today @jcsalterego.bsky.social! Or would be if anyone but me ever loaded this feed.

Happy World Standards Day to those who celebrate it today

I made a silly thing. It is a feed that tells you what day of the week it is (in the U.S. Pacific time zone).

@skyfeed.app I wish posts had a Copy at:// link menu option since that is what the single post feed input requires and extracting it out of the JSON takes some precision mousing. (Or, I guess, that the feed input could lookup what it needs from the HTTP link.)

Happy World Standards Day to all who celebrate it today. Rest of World Standards Day will be on the standard day in two days.

Very proud to announce my new social media platform, Semaphore. But if you misbehave, we'll flag you.

🧩 The fireworks were going left hand, right hand, up, down, and even diagonal! What message did today's celebration of the *flag seem to be for*? -,  ,.  -'  -'  `-  .-  -`  \/  --  `'  -,

The answer to this one is self-explanatory. 🧩 [Sorry for the poor accessibility. Some puzzle encodings are hard to give ALT text that isn't entirely a spoiler.]
