woke up at 4 am convinced that firefox's built-in json renderer was sufficient to let json be used for documents rather than html, resulting in something like gopher or gemini

my 4 am brain was wrong, but actually only a little bit.. strings being displayed in quotes is the only real problem with that idea

word wrapping, links, headers, basically all the rest of a minimalist document format are there in the json browser

#WellsFargo finally refunded this service charge (plus interest). I closed the account back in 2017, not neediing their predatory services. I assume one of the many actions against them succeeded.

if I ever make it to another debconf cheese & wine I will have to bring this, it is hard to imagine a more authentic southern cheese (aside from the stuff in a can)

local pepper jack cheese (from Asheville) seemed kind of ridiculously hot.. I mean, I knew it has ghost pepper in it, but still

rechecked the label: carolina reaper papper, which seems to be the world's hottest pepper

browsing this fun tilde/shared sf universe site because its admin sent me a thank-you for pdmenu which it uses

From a local facebook group which censors such things as which of the obits are due to covid.

(I do not think that nsswitch.conf is a good reason, because noone really uses that config except for system integrators who could just as easily change the source and rebuild.)

there must be some good reason for glibc to dlopen libnss libs, rather than them just being dynamically linked like every other lib...

... but I have never, ever, had any experience with these files that was not due to this choice breaking something. today, my mail server.

hmm, that's a bit pixelated, here's a nicer version https://tmp.joeyh.name/sunset_timelapse.mp4

Hatteras from the sound. The island is so thin here you can see the sand dunes up against the marsh grass.

argh, using kdenlive without any icons visible because the new version somehow broke that

Fine start to fall. #sourdough baked in wood stove with a very small firelet.

landed a great bandwidth-limiting feature in git-annex today, which works with so many different ways to schlep data...

... thing is it's implemented on top of the progress reporting interface. Before displaying a progress bar (or whatever) it does the necessary pause to rate limit.

Ugh. Seems so wrong, but also so right.

Ferry I thought I had caught. Oh well setting up camp in the dark..

The new bridge at Pea Island is an impressive start to what I imagine will eventually be a causeway all down the #obx as they fragment and wash away.

Catching the last 4:30 ferry to Ocracoke of the season. Left home at 6:30 am

wow, I've forgotten how involved the prep for these trips is
