I like making things and witnessing other people make things. Myself I do #EmbeddedDev and #Programming alongside a fair amount of writing and TTRPG design. Dipping my toes into pixel art and eurorack modular synthesis.

I am actively trying to curate a feed of people who make things, build worlds, and spread peace.

A bible commentary/analysis read set up as a wiki or obsidian workbook seems potent.

Patch Arcana boosted:

I just shipped a real release of my bible-reader project.

It’s a terminal-first Python tool for daily Bible reading. It can import compatible WorldBiblePlans EPUBs, split them into day-by-day files, extract scripture-only readings, and track progress through the plan.

I also just added a changelog, automated GitHub releases, a license, contribution guidelines, and issue/PR templates, so it’s starting to feel like a real open-source project instead of just “script in a repo.” 😄

Repo: github.com/RareBird15/bible-re

@sungo you aren't asking for advice so apologies if this is unwelcome, but I have been using wireguard for years and it seems perfectly adequate.

Cone of shame!

Not ideal, he'll need supervised breaks from it until we can get him a onesie instead.

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

Straight of Hormuz, with Buddha imposed, text: The realization that the lack of oil isn't causing your suffering, but the desire for oil itself, on your path to enlightenment.

... Of course six years ago when we adopted the fellas my salary was still "good money" and things cost sane amounts so the writing was far from being on the wall there.

My inability to draw digitally expediently sure is a damper on my nascent desire to design a tarot deck.

The damn thing would be a complete inside joke but since I have a tarot-driven game I'm peddling at cons having a few tarot decks wouldn't be the silliest thing.

This weekend's lesson:

The deal's not done until the deals are all done.

And:

Patch still cannot fuckin' draw character portraits.

Whenever you see me active on here, this is what's happening on the other side of the screen :>

A sketch of a barn owl, perched on top of a chair's back, looking forward at a computer screen.  They have one Talon held forward, hovering overtop of the keyboard.

Whenever you think you've seen it all, you will encounter a situation where a user has done something that should involve several confirmation screens without apparently having registered touching anything.
