see, i'm not getting rid of my existing one, it's almost 10 years old now

i just need a second printer to print spare parts for my first printer

new 3d printer arriving today
let's see how much of a pain setting it up will be, as it's a kit

@craftxbox LinkCrawlWorker will be triggered for pretty much every link that shows up in an incoming post, as for SynchronizeFeaturedCollectionWorker, you can see which user it is for by taking the ID in arguments and going to /admin/accounts/<id>, IIRC

could be one of the denial of service attack servers that's shown up recently, or just that you're getting a lot of legitimate incoming traffic from relays, for example.

@soatok that button does something for you?

just used the phrase jpegging to talk about intentionally applying jpeg artifacting to an image

@maryjane @Wander point is that if you have to ban a user, that's additional moderation load, while a user that never signs up to your instance in the first place is, well, never your user

@Wander we're not at the scale of gmail and aol though, are we? and besides - most smaller instances block large instances like dot social because they have terrible moderation for their size, and we actively don't want everyone to flock to just a dozen large instances.

besides, who a user keeps as company reflects on them, it doesn't take much to conclude that someone whose entire friend circle is pepe-posting channer racists is more likely to behave in such a way themselves. I don't want users who'd want to get rid of the blocks we have here today, so the blocks keep them away.

the IAB and USB-IF doesn't want you to know this, but it's not illegal to use an ID reserved for someone else

sure, Raytheon might get annoyed that you use USB vendor ID 0x229C, and might ask USB-IF to send you a strongly worded letter, saying how using someone elses ID is "strictly forbidden" but they can go pound sand, they have no authority over you

open source coming soon (TM)

linux and macOS support coming later (I need to abstract away playing sounds, and find decent sound engines I can sync with on those platforms)

Yesterday evening I finished the 1.0 public release of my #Twitch TTS redeem bot https://dustythefuzzydragon.itch.io/chcl-chompy

It will animate (two frames of your choice) a TTS redeem, read by #dectalk!

@SwooshyCueb congratulations? 🎉?

might put some fallback ads for sites I like if you don't opt in to ads that pay me money lol

"but why" Google doesn't want you to add their ads like that, they want you to load their JS at all times, not after consent

considering placing opt-in advertising on my sites

mostly for fun, I don't expect any of my 2 regulars to click "yes please allow Google to vacuum up my data and show me ads"

@crumbcake @charlotte if you get caught unicycling drunk they should honestly give you a helmet and some elbow pads and let you go, that's just impressive
