Professional computer toucher. I spend a lot of time thinking about privacy, security, reliability, and decentralization - both in cyberspace and meatspace.

My posts mostly contain random thoughts or observations but I’m likely to mention:

- #OpenBSD or #FreeBSD or #BSD
- #Rust programming, #Golang programming
- #Linux
- #cooking
- #FLOSS
- #reading, #SciFi, #Fantasy, #History

So far, my favorite match of the Kyushu Basho #sumo has been Hoshoryu v Midorifuji from day 5: https://youtu.be/FXqkxZIVoIc
November 2022 - Day 5 - Hoshoryu v Midorifuji

I really need to sit down and properly write an ansible… cookbook(?) for some OpenBSD servers. There’s 10 of them and I literally run the same commands on them periodically lol.

The good work is done quietly. And it is done slowly.

What is loud is because they need you to pay attention to them. It must be flashy. It must be now.

But when you get away from the noise and feel the calm, you'll find a garden. It has long been tended by gardeners. The beauty comes from growth that takes time, and patient maintenance.

You won't always see the gardener, and maybe not even see their efforts, which just further belies their mastery.

The gardener has done this because of the inherent beauty and the betterment of the world.

Community, these are things that will build up around this work, another garden.

Participation and use is the only expectation of you.

But no one will complain if you want to get your hands dirty alongside them.

After three days of watching #sumo, Wakatakakage and Tobizaru are quickly becoming my favorite Rikishi to watch. I like the throws and speed they display versus the brute strength of some other Rikishi. That’s not to diminish the others, I just really like leverage.

Aha! https://fraidyc.at was what I was thinking of.

To be clear - it didn’t rely on there being RSS or Atom feeds.

Dear #lazyweb - I’m trying to remember the name of an app that let you build “feeds” for arbitrary sites. The app ram locally on your machine - no remote service. I also remember it having a CMYK theme and an odd name like “Snoopleboob” or something.

Does anyone know what I’m trying to find?

Well I left it unplugged overnight fully charged and it went from 100% to 99% battery. Yet another surprise. Used to seeing at least 5-7% consumed if unplugged and often more like 10-15%.
