Sometimes Copilot’s suggestions are really quite something.
yq can manipulate just the frontmatter of a file with its --front-matter flag. This should be useful for trying to merge my notes on books with my Calibre database.
The sax rendition of the national anthem at the start of this Giants game was incredible. Better than any singer. What a boss.

Amazon redacting or removing content, copyright strikes on YouTube, or just general licensing breaks like that which killed Rdio for me…
This is why I aggressively download and back up freely-available things like concerts or crack the DRM to make sure my multi-hundred-ebook library doesn’t disappear one day.
It’s ridiculous how “illegal” this has been made and still is.
Interesting which characters Gitea labels as “ambiguous.”
This concert video on an HDR screen is both impressive and blinding.
“The much-beloved BookTok sensation…”
Hmm. No thank you, book synopsis writer, I think I will skip this one.
Perhaps the most bizarre experiment was conducted in Paris, in April 1746, by Jean-Antoine Nollet. Using a snaking line of some 200 monks connected by a mile-long iron wire, Nollet observed their reactions when he administered a powerful electric current through the wire. The simultaneous screams of the monks demonstrated that, as far as Nollet could tell, voltage was transmitted through a conductor “instantaneously.”
I’m going to miss Reddit. It’s been an irregular part of my life for 12 years now. It’s been responsible for countless rabbit holes and ideas, discussions and explorations. Rest in peace, 2010’s era of the internet.
Made a simple command-line Swift script:

It was just another day doing errands, traveling the same three or four routes that made up 90 percent of life. Looking for seeds to eat. This is normal, the bird thought, the only thing it ever thought.
Fell for this one. I would listen, I think. Costerton drops rap album to attract Gen Z to ICANN
I have been waiting for .foo! Google to drop EIGHT new gTLDs
Interesting look at the DNSSEC signing ceremony Verisign’s Role in Securing the DNS Through Key Signing Ceremonies
The registrar behind .tm, .sh, .io, & .ac (Divido) just released a flurry of single-character domain names on .tm for $30,000 a piece. Think a.tm.
Far too pricey for an individual and it’s risky to put a business on another country’s ccTLD. But who am I to throw stones? I still use zacwe.st for my website.
Anyway, pipe dream: z.ac would be a fun one. Only $80,000!
Why yes, I am backing up my NAS right now, how did you know?
This peep has lived a very hard life.
DevUtils.app, besides being incredibly useful, also injects a fun little whimsy in its random string generator. Ocean string!
Interesting seeing the rate of position players pitching over time. Look at that hickey stick growth! Almost a non-event now.

The San Francisco Public Library app is pretty good for both physical books and ebooks. It’s able to check out an ebook and send it to Kindle without another app.
