I make things. All kinds of things. And I like scifi. And running. And coffee. Probably not in that order though.

I've been programming for about two dozen years across probably as many languages. I enjoy learning new programming languages and natural languages, though I'm much better at the former.

For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. https://about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.

Fascinating poster from the American Holocaust Museum. Thank goodness we aren't exhibiting any of these right now.
THIS. YES.

So now I'm looking for a replacement. I eschew corporate crap as much as possible and focus on #FOSS where I can. I found #Waistline, which seems quite mature and integrates with both USDA and Open Food Facts databases. The search is reasonable, though not super fast. But anything you add gets stored in your local database so its quick to add the next time.

I only have two minor quibbles:

  • It mostly uses metric and I grew up in 'Murica, so these things take a couple extra logical leaps for me to think about.
  • No native support for exercise, but you can enter a "food" with negative calories and it increases your calorie goal rather than reducing your total calories. Good enough.
  • If I stick with it for a few weeks I'll have to hit the dev on librepay or something.

    Years ago I used #Lifesum for calorie counting and it did a pretty good job. Relatively clean interface and it had a pretty accurate food search function. In decided clean up my diet a bit so I took another look. Like so many other products it is now totally polluted with #AI garbage. Instead of a handy search feature it instead hallucinates garbage food based on your search term. I tried searching for food a few different ways but nothing really works. The bar code scanner still works, so there is that I guess.

    Just shipped something new in Atuin 18.5: Scripts 

    You can now turn shell history into reusable, synced, and encrypted scripts.

    ✨ Built from real commands
    ✨ Supports variables + templating
    ✨ Custom shebangs (Python, etc)
    ✨ End-to-end encrypted + syncs across devices

    This has been super useful already. I use it for deploy commands, fiddly git commands, and other things I forget a bunch.

    Just got my copy of Winter Rabbit from Absurdist's Kickstarter! I havent gotten to play it since the beta. I need to find some time to play it soon.

    Its a fun coop game based on Cherokee fables. Design and art are both by Cherokees.

    If everyone at #TurboTax died in a horrific fire I would dance with glee. Parasites.

    I just read this mind blowing article about how much tracking some android apps do. An app can list other apps that it can query on your phone and the worst abusers are listing hundreds of them.

    Does @GrapheneOS prevent this?

    Everyone knows all the apps on your phone

    Until a few years ago, any app you installed on an Android device could see all other apps on your phone without your permission.
