I don't think I ever did one of these and there's 🍍 all these new people 🍍 so: #introductions
I'm mostly a software engineer and #videogamer, with tangents to #cycling, failing to learn #Norwegian, and otherwise wasting a perfectly good B.Mus in #violin performance. I was a #moonkin (SERVER FIRST ALGALON 10), and now I'm a #Guardian.

I have a joke about uncatchable exceptions, but you wouldn't get it
The night before we leave for five days is the perfect time update the firmware on my mesh network nodes, right? RIGHT?!

A tale of a trailing dot https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/05/12/a-tale-of-a-trailing-dot/ - how allowing a dot lead to two curl security vulnerabilities - and more.
Did I tell you trailing dots are evil?
*won't create a modified version, dammit.
Today I'm manually editing raw SVG markup because the tools that created the original won't created a modified version that doesn't corrupt the output. And before you ask, yes, it *is* typography. That's right, I'm manually positioning letters.
Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool.

Study of 24K congressional hearings (1994-2018) finds women more likely to be interrupted than men; 10% more in the Senate. In hearings on women’s issues, women are more than 2x as likely to be interrupted than while discussing other issues

Still wondering what my secret project is?
An #opensource bike computer.
After weeks of working behind the scenes, today the first functional prototype was tested on the road. Hello world!
Check out https://jazda.org if you want a prototype too.

Had a great #cycling day yesterday, 230km around the #Ruhr valley. The route was created by the fabulous team of Brevet-Selbsthilfegruppe (https://brevetselbsthilfegruppe.de), please use their tracks instead of my Strava recording. The weather played along well ☀️. https://www.strava.com/activities/7109748438

more evidence that you should always get on the bike. even if you're tired and your legs hurt and the workout looks really hard and you don't wanna today. get on, pedal for 20 minutes, and then make choices.

I feel like the enthusiasm and drive from these equestrians is not quite matched by the guys riding a flat 190km before an uphill finish.
Reverse-engineering the neural net is going GREAT.

Hi all. If you’ve got questions about asteroids or the #DARTMission specifically I’m your boy, and possibly also your boi, though my understanding is that I’m less likely to be your boo or your bae. I may or may not answer in a timely fashion, as these things go.

On the bird app, I play a game with my followers called #1vs2.
I show X-ray data of supermassive black hole from the Chandra X-ray telescope, and ask my followers if they think it's an image of a single point source or a dual point source (aka possible a pair of SMBHs)!
For the smallest separated SMBH pairs, it's not very easy to tell if the data is 1 or 2 !
What do you think? Is this a single or a dual? I'll send a sticker of a black hole cat to someone who guesses correctly!

One of the most important feature requests we've heard from you is "WHERE THE HECK IS MY #THUNDERBIRD MOBILE APP?"
Here's a straight answer:

We'll have more details to share with you in a few weeks. We'll talk to you about it here, and over on our blog at https://blog.thunderbird.net.

When we created ODF 20+ years ago, Microsoft first laughed at the committee at OASIS, then made OOXML to render it moot, then rigged ISO to make OOXML a standard, then implemented ODF and now participates in the ODF committee and helps fund its work through COSM.
#Bluesky is Twitter's OOXML to #ActivityPub and it's at the "rigging ISO" stage.
