The Fediverse I was never an active user of Twitter. Occasionally, I was browsing my feed. I follow the #genart posts and read about technology. My occasional post about some lesser important topic, the link to a blog post I wrote, or a retweet about something I believed to be interesting. I never ended up in a heated discussion about any crap with random people. I have a pretty dull social media existence.

As someone who’s been on board with Twitter since 2009, I have to admit that I’m very concerned with recent developments. I admire and respect Elon Musk for his companies’ achievements, especially in space and electric movement industries, but the man himself, holy cow, what a drag. On The Verge, Nilay Patel’s brutal piece on the recent Twitter acquisition is chock-full of brilliant insights on what it takes to run a modern commercial s..

If you're like me and have spun up a t4g.small during AWS's free trial period, you might want to run docker and docker compose. However, documentation on this is pretty sparse. docker-compose vs docker compose Apparently , docker compose is the new hotness and should be used going forward.

It all started with a hat. A straw boater, to be precise, with a flat, round brim and brightly colored ribbon tied around the crown. Originally popularized by gondoliers in Venice, this jaunty accessory had reached the height of American couture by the turn of the 20th century. The boater became not just a style, but a closet staple, worn by everyone from politicians to athletes—at least between the months of May and September. Fashion of t....

Here are a few choice quotes from the The King James Version: Its tradition, text, and translation article in the Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible edited by Dr Joel Beeke: Should we set the KJV aside because it’s too difficult to read? Notwithstanding its age, there is no good reason to disregard it or to relegate it to the past. […] In every way, the KJV is an outstanding version of the Scriptures, worthy of continued use as ....

Testing code is the first step to making it secure. One of the best ways to do this is to use unit tests, ensuring that each of the smaller functions within an app behave as they should — especially when the app receives edge-case or invalid inputs, or inputs that are potentially harmful.

New Service, Tor Relay ~cobra Thu, 27 Oct 2022 If you don’t know what Tor is, see the last blog where I describe it. I followed the guide on how to set up a Guard/Middle relay, and deployed it on a newly purchased Linode server. In a few weeks, our relay will support the Tor Network and help keep the anonymity of those who use it. I bought a Linode server for this, so please donate so we can pay for it. Once again, thank you..

Three reasons to declare a font size in a page’s CSS: Not all browsers support all types of zoom (standard, pinch-to-zoom, and text-only zoom). Some mobile browsers still don’t support any type of zoom. Different use-cases call for different sizes. Long-form text should be bigger than text in user-interface controls. WCAG guidelines recommend sizing tap-targets to at least 44-by-44 CSS pixels, with the exception of inline link....

I attended my first BJJ class a little more than a month ago. Going into it, I was hesitant. After many years doing what most people today call calisthenics, I wanted to try something new and challenging. But would it be appropriate for me to get into martial arts at the age of fifty-two? When I discovered that we have a branch of the renowned Roger Gracie Academy here in my hometown, I thought it was time to find out.
