Last Notes npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn I think so, yeah. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn Did we? I'm not sure. 🤔 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn Today I'm feeling kinda rough emotionally so I'm just being gentle with myself. Sipping rooibos tea. Listening to the crow "song" outside. Reflecting on what I might do for solstice tomorrow. :3 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn Mmm, that sounds like a great combo. What are you up to the rest of your weekend? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Wished my grandmother a happy birthday today. It was my first time speaking to her in a while. The dementia has gotten a lot worse. :'( She kept forgetting who she was talking to. Never mind trying to explain that I'm trans now. 😮💨 Feeling very heavy and sad. Grief. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Good morning Fediverse. ☀️ How are you doing today? Emoji only. :) :boost_ok: npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…rx20 Glad you got out onto the water! How was it? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn I'm interested to read your notes! npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Reminder that Delta Chat exists: https://delta.chat/ Reminder that Cabal exists: https://cabal.chat/ Free, open source, private, decentralized chat. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn That was my initial thought too. It was only when I graphed speed vs. time in my head that I saw, "oooh, the line for speed=100 is only half as long, so the average can't be 75km/h." npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…3kqn Hehe. It's one of those problems that tempts you to use System 1 (quick) brain, but requires System 2 (slow) brain. Speed = Distance / Time = D / T Given D / T = 50 km/hr Given D / (T/2) = 100 km/hr AvgSpeed = 2D / (T+T/2) Let D = 50 km So, T = 1 hr AvgSpeed = 2(50) / (1 + 1/2) AvgSpeed = 100 / 1.5 AvgSpeed = 66.6̅ km/hr npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…59kg Hi SoapDog! What feels better about RSS and SSB for you? Is it more of a interface/simplicity/overwhelm thing, or more of a values thing? Or something else? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Executive function is so hard. 😭 I'm slowwwly starting to figure out systems that work for my brain, but it is very gradual. A big thing that helps me seems to be "resetting" spaces, like my kitchen or bathroom, to a well-defined "good" state. I can walk in, see what's not right, and address it. It's kind of like the feeling you get when you have a git repo and there are no untracked files, no unstaged or staged files, and everything has been pushed. A big growth edge has been figuring out how to do this for my digital spaces. Right now it's just a big mess of browser tabs, multiple workspaces, terminals, and vim sessions all over the place. 😵 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…5sgk Please do not use humans and their time, unconsented, to do your own testing. This wasted my time reviewing the profile of a follow request, thinking it was genuine. This kind of using-humans-for-personal-ends behaviour is reminiscent of the current AI goings on. I think a more considerate approach would have been running your own Mastodon instance and testing your cluster on that. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…0fmu I don't know about "should" (sounds so harsh!), but I'm curious what'd happen if you were to explore it :D npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 I hope you all had an amazing solstice, friends. ☀️ 🩷 Today is the first day of the new year (to me), and I can already feel energy and hope moving into my body, and the depression of the darkening days starting to wane. 🥰 I'm so curious: do any of y'all do anything to celebrate winter solstice? I'd love to hear about it. Warmth. 🔥 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 The experience of, when I really like a person, and try to move closer to them, but they give signals / boundaries showing they want to maintain their level of distance. It's a very human experience, but stars, does it feel painful & sad. 💔 I try to remember it's not about me. I know I'm a really lovely friend to have. ❤️🩹 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 sending email to USER@DOMAIN: 1. query https://DOMAIN/mx-pgp/USER.gpg for USER's public key 2. sign email with own key 3. if USER.gpg was found: encrypt email using USER's pubkey recv email from USER@DOMAIN: 1. decrypt mail /w own key, if encrypted 2. query https://DOMAIN/mx-pgp/USER.gpg for USER's public key 3. verify signature this approach provides a backwards-compatible fallback: - if you can't find a mx-pgp/USER.gpg file, then assume the recipient doesn't support encrypted mail: fallback to plaintext - the act of publishing a mx-pgp/USER.gpg key lets senders know you are able to decrypt pgp mail critical to use a mail client you trust! - e.g. if you use the gmail web interface, then google will still be able to read everything you send and recv Curious if I've missed anything important re: security or backwards-compat, or for general thoughts. ^__^ Also curious to know about any existing equivalents. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…xwvj I'm hand sewing, fyi! I don't understand the top picture. I'm sewing like that, but what are the other lines/dots along the sides? How would one sew another piece of fabric beneath it? Like, just sewing it on around the patch's perimeter and then closing the rip in the usual way like I did? Or something else? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 I have a sewing question: I've sewn shut a tear in this shirt, but as you can see from the picture, it's like the fabric is coming apart(?) around it (the stitches on the left). I've seen this phenomenon a number of times, where the fabric will thin out or become holes around the area I stitched. Any ideas what's going on here? Is this just the fabric falling apart? Something else? https://sunbeam.city/system/media_attachments/files/115/159/732/472/585/141/original/a0b625a53890f6fd.jpg npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Many years of C, and today I learned about the # and ## preprocessor operators: #x => "x" x##x => xy Very handy! npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…vyme I wonder what the lifetime difference is between the two? I always find $/W to be a weird unit, since it seems to be done as "lifetime cost" divided by "energy per second". What makes much more sense to my brain is $/J, which is $/W*(operational-lifetime). Residential setups usually use lithium batteries too, right? Which we don't know how to recycle well, and have a verrry high replacement cost. Disclosure: I didn't read the articles, I'm just commenting on your words. :) npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 The answer to the "how will we have enough energy" question re: moving away from fossil fuels, that nobody wants to hear: Use less energy. It's wild to me that this simple solution doesn't seem to enter the conversation. Humans are so clever & creative: surely we can figure out ways to use less energy instead of trying to keep the hilariously wasteful american lifestyle alive? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Gorgeous, informative, and just really well made write-up on the bamboo scaffolders of Hong Kong: https://multimedia.scmp.com/infographics/culture/article/3183200/bamboo-scaffolding/index.html :boost_ok: :boost_ok: :boost_ok: #solarpunk npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…z0w9 Alas! I asked and they don't have a system set up for filling in cancellations. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Just as I got excited: the next step, a specialized blood test I need, got booked. ...for late June 2025. Ugggghhhhh. 😮💨 This is apparently the only place that does this particular test, too. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Updated my now page. 💔 http://kira.eight45.net/now.html CW: disability npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…vyme Would love to hear more on your approach. This is a skill I'm still (very slowly) developing. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 New write-up on my website ✨ A very simple setup for local-only speech-to-text using Whisper, using mostly shell scripting: http://kira.eight45.net/diy-whisper.html ✨ 🎙️ ✨ Questions, comments, improvements welcome! :boost_ok: npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…uwsl Mmm, I liked this. The way you describe them, wikis sound a lot more like us humans: imperfect, incomplete, messy, fjlorb, etc. ☺️ I've had the urge to start a blog on my admittedly wiki-like website, but it hasn't happened yet. I think I haven't figured out where on a wiki I put, "here are my feelings right now". npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Amazing! 😹 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_Lamb_of_Tartary npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…vyme That sounds satisfying! That cable routing is unbelievably crisp. What are you using to hold it in place? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…lv7d #lifegoals npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…vyme All of the inter-corporate committee protocols have a similar abtruseness that I find very difficult to comprehend. I generally don't like things that I can't pretty trivially poke at from the command line. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Around 4 hours into trying to commission Matter devices from the command line. This is so I can control a "smart plug" without needing to use Apple or Google crap, or a big Home Assistant setup. What a remarkably complicated protocol. *long sigh* npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…gaap That's good to know! It still feels like there is a power imbalance: there may not be free spots upon arriving at the terminal, and car-users are granted this advance booking convenience. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…gaap So was I. :( Here is Horseshoe Bay → Langdale. https://sunbeam.city/system/media_attachments/files/113/551/311/001/385/875/original/44f474ff914cd20c.png npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 I learned recently that some of BC Ferries' lines are "cars only" -- people travelling on foot or bicycle are not permitted to board. Fuck that, so so hard. 😠 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…gaap @nprofile…y6g5 Something I didn't see on your website: how often do you top up your flooded lead acid batteries? Are you pretty rigid with your schedule? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…uwsl Good luck! Keep writing to us for support 💜 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @nprofile…gaap Really! I always figured they'd be tough or unpalletable -- thanks. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 What part of a food[1] do you feel like you often see people wasting that you wish they knew was tasty & edible? One of my big ones: potato skins. [1] Veggies, fruits, etc. but not meat please. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Read this in the opening line of an article from 2019, "The planet is barreling toward 1.5 degrees of global warming as soon as 2030 [...]" Yeaaaah. Yeah, we beat that estimate real good. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Does anyone else's brain have the automatic reaction to lightning of starting a count until you hear the thunder, to keep an ongoing distance estimate? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub17gd…a8lw This is so fucking wild. 🤯 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr I think that's a good summary, yes! I definitely started to bring in the spec-brain stuff on top of the "all on one page" piece. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr Kind of! I was thinking more of a specification: the kind of document somebody knowing nothing about uxn could read, and implement a VM from scratch. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr Is that the Chicago font? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr Thanks. It feels like something has been shifting. My body still feels really rough, but in a different way. I always have several interventions in the process, so it's possible that one of them is having an impact! npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 My body has been hungry to be on the water for months now. I keep thinking about just spending an afternoon taking the water taxi up and down False Creek, just to feel the ocean beneath me. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr Do y'all still remain able to get MSP coverage? Their website vaguely states that one must, "Make their home in B.C". npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr Have y'all found any workarounds in your travels? npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 The proliferation of websites demanding a (valid, non-VOIP) phone number in order to access services frustrates me so much. 😡 I don't want this service to have my phone number. I don't want to be called. I already gave my email address & preferred to be contacted in that way. 😠 I also feel frustrated on behalf of folx that don't even HAVE a phone number (this was me for a time), and get completely blocked out. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Flax harvesting begiiiiiins. 😈 I tied the first bundle with synthetic string, and then realized... that that felt very wrong. I did the next using a stem of green flax.

Tonight is All is Lost (2013). Both are films about folx losing their lives at sea. @___@ Kira is in a Mood. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 In discussing solutions to the climate crisis, there is a solution that I think ought take up more space: having fewer humans on this planet. There is no need, imo, to have 8.1 billion humans on Earth. Reducing the birth rate seems like a pretty humane way to improve things, and make more space for the other creatures of this world. Is this a controversial opinion? I'm genuinely curious why, if so. npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 "Meet the First U.S. Species to Go Extinct from Sea-Level Rise" https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/first-u-s-species-to-go-extinct-from-rising-seas-is-the-key-largo-tree/ npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 @npub1qu5…4evr That's exciting!

Open to thoughts. 🤔 npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Feeling very pleased about myself for this uxn hack I rigged up that allows for IF...THEN statements using self-rewriting code. ☺️ http://kira.eight45.net/pub/if-then.txt npub1dmpxvrqne0vrydwff86uyljp7hc7hlhx6cuf48p6n7rge8dkex7slz77de Kira 🌱 Three of the biggest fears that have been weighing on my mind these last few years, in no particular order: 1.
