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.

Left Hand of Darkness is superb. Also Wizard of Earthsea. Those are definitely two of her best, but there are so many to pick from. Its like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
Fascinating poster from the American Holocaust Museum. Thank goodness we aren't exhibiting any of these right now.
THIS. YES.

I've heard that Kodi's Jellyfin integration was pretty good these days. I'll have to give that a whirl. I wasn't a huge fan of Kodi when I ran it like 5+ years ago. It felt fickle and kludgey. Maybe its better now.

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.
