How do people get started on new projects? I'm so drained after working my regular job I can't seem to ever get motivated to start a side project.
I likely have to buy a new car soon, and it’s both fun to research and figure out what I want, and yet I have 0 interest in haggling with a dealer.
But I don’t want the “kind of but not really a good deal” from things like TrueCar etc.

Pepper is either the best dog, or the worst dog, depending on his mood. He’s smart enough to know exactly what we’re saying, and willful enough to ignore it.
The first photo is him at his fluffiest with hair blowing in the wind.
The second photo is him trimmed close running around the yard with a butter knife he stole looking to shank someone or something.
Set up a mattermost instance. It's basically slack (just slightly less polished), self-hosted, but a lot cheaper.
If you love London Fogs, find an earl grey tea that has lavender in it. With well-steamed milk it's like you're drinking a delicious ambrosia cloud
I’m fucking tired
The pet store people can convince me to buy almost anything for my dog
I know it's silly... but my coffee does often get cold before I remember to finish drinking it while coding https://ember.com
Taking recommendations for a new profile image. My gif only animates when hovered-over so it's blank most of the time :(
Tired
I killed my Mac mini with static while upgrading its hard drive. Wonder if I wait for a new one, build a hackintosh mini, or just let it be dead.
Just found out about NextCloud... With the new digital ocean prices, I'm self-hosting all the things!
I suppose there’s nothing that stops someone from building a photo-focused front-end to the federation.
Obviously nothing stopping you from using it as one now but nothing is designed towards that purpose which makes a difference
I almost wonder if mastodon would be more successful as an Instagram competitor rather than twitter. Focus on the images etc. people can have their own address/page for public viewing. Not locked in to facebook etc
I'm federating myself all over! Between returning here and setting up a matrix server
Aww, did animated gif profile pictures get turned off by default? :P
Was thinking about this. I wonder if you could make a procedural pokemon go-like. Would reduce your server load tremendously, but would still have the 'shared' experience of seeing the same pokemon etc. Even in the game right now someone catching a pokemon doesn't take it from someone else. 'Gyms' are the obvious exception. Authentication that someone did in fact catch a pokemon is another problem, I don't know enough about blockchains but could something similar be managed
What Remains of Edith Finch is on my docket to play tonight! It looks great
I'm back! Don't know why but I tuned out of mastodon for a short while. Things still groovin' in here?
