Second attempt at a rubber collar, this time riveted together with plastic rivets instead of glued. And, this time with a proper D-ring in front! ^^

Used a hollow cutting leather punch for the rivet holes!

The reality is unfortunately probably "No one, faculty just got angry that they needed to either use their phone number or pay $3" because it's _always_ faculty that get persnickety. Staff tend to roll with whatever.

EDIT: To add, I wish there was easier so faculty would be happy, because I don't want to frame this as some "staff vs faculty" thing; faculty, especially tenured, just tend to be highly opinionated for anything when it comes to campus things -- even external things.

I'm put off the article by some updates saying a project is "mostly AI"... That has existed since before it was even open sourced in 2012.

That said I haven't used SkyMap in years, so I don't know how much it's changed. Could be recent fixes were LLM, which is upsetting if true, but the classification being "mostly AI" instead of "mostly human" comes off as more "this is just my 30 second vibes off a thing rather than looking into the history" in a way that makes me uncomfortable with any other "mostly AI, cause it looks like it could be" classification that person makes _without_ the visible proof of such. They even say it's hard to tell off text alone but proceed anyway, like... I dunno, feels antithetical to its own thesis?

So many projects using it just suuuucks though.

The standout for me has been the enormous influx of "material you music streaming apps" that half the time don't even say they're just ripping music off YouTube Music.

I keep debating closing reg entirely, but I'm merely annoyed by the spam signups to blimps.xyz. At least I and our mods can reject them, and it's only between 2-4 daily currently.

The worst part is these seem like openclaw agents, registering a domain to create a mailserver just for signups since the biggest email box/redirect providers were blocked. I can tell because I keep blocking domains but they have unique MX records, and only end up used that one time.

If you like, my code for that is at my Github if you wanna see, I kinda rewrote what he did for my use IIRC?

I ended up pivoting to 11ty. Pelican is good, but was too inflexible for me with generating types of pages, it kinda is "blog" and "everything else". I'm sure folks do other things but I couldn't readily figure out dynamically generating certain types of pages.

Ended up being a breeze with the way 11ty does, though it's less blog-y with it so it took a tiny bit more work for that, but categorizing stories is easy to do with dynamic listings I couldn't do so easily with Pelican.

But both are good! Pelican just didn't fit my evolving needs as readily, but I did like working with it and I hope you do too!

I don't have any red but if I order some I'd be happy to take a stab at a purple rubber pride one, whether single sided or reversible like this one with something else on the other side.

Doing one like this with 2 completely different backgrounds is a little harder because of gluing both together. I originally tried gluing the color segments to the black backing but that went horribly awry; I probably couldve done better that route if I had a big heavy-filled PVC pipe, but I instead glued the 3 colored pieces together and then edge-glued to the black piece with a Lil in the center.

Replying from main for the longer post char count x3

Bestine is the brand I use, same as the Best Test cement! Need to thin the glue out to make it workable -- it's just too thick otherwise. Plus it works great as a surface prep for the glue, or removing it for mistakes.

For the surface prep, any residue-less cleaner works, I know some people prefer rubbing alcohol or acetone. And I may stick to acetone for cleaning since it's much cheaper of a solvent.

I tried Barge cement thinner but that stuff is so noxious :< Bestine is just heptane, but the barge also adds toluene and ethyl acetate. It literally strips its own paint just trying to pour it for use, and it fucked up my cutting mat. It smelled like a sign shop x.x I'm just holding onto the can until the hazmat recycling day so I can drop it off.

Hi #Gardening folks, I need help!

I have these lovely things invading many of my gladiolus. The white ones are also on my tomatoes somewhat, but not heavily-so.

I've sprayed them all down with neem oil spray using a half-gallon pressurized sprayer I got, but I'm worried that's not good enough.

It rains frequently here too during the summer (Central Alabama) so most things applied might wash off within a couple days.

What's safe for treating my plants regularly to help my tomato harvests as well? They have some yellowing leaves at the bottom and those white things were on them.

It's not that. That's true, sure, but it's unrelated.

It's that they don't care.

People keep assuming the VPN bans or "you still have to verify age of Utah citizens even behind a VPN" solely come about based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can't fight it from existing to begin.

They'll decline to go after the porn websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can't afford to fight back and will just close when contacted -- places like independent social media, small websites providing information to queer youth, and other small sexual health websites.

I'm still on OpenSUSE on my laptop but I've been considering switching; lort knows since it's Tumbleweed they BOTH update frequently, and at least with Cachy the entire Arch wiki is applicable (if it's still up-to-date).

I even have VSTs working for stuff, licensed ones! (I don't think I've paid for any yet but some are licensed free via my Focusrite interface). Someone did a guide with scripts that can use a Bottles bottle (though because I'm running Bottles locally, not as a flatpak, I had to modify their script slightly) with a specific Wine runner for YABridge to run them. It's wild seeing the interface windows and their controls when adding as a rack in Carla. Mind, all of this isn't exactly Arch-specific stuff but like, it's cool as hell.

Really so far the Windows-only stuff I've been getting away with in a VM if I can't run it under Wine or Proton. Even current Affinity runs pretty damn solid under Wine. And sure, I can't use device firmware updaters in that, but I can via the Windows VM, temporarily attaching a device before removing once the update is done.

Normally I'd be like "what, fuck" for package resolution, but... I'm realizing suddenly why Arch folks love PKGBUILD so damn much and AUR.

It ensures building a package from source NEVER collides with other packages because the pkg declares the files it creates.

I'm annoyed obs-studio wasn't updated to properly declare obs-plugin-browser obsoleted by it so that Pacman itself would just go "Hey, OK to do that?" but that's just an annoyance. 'yay -R obs-plugin-browser' is all it took to fix.

Every time I see folks say "screen readers should just handle them as letters" it dismisses the fact they all are useful characters that mean things in other contexts, but the idea of "in certain circumstances" is the first time I've read a related take that feels vaguely viable.

I could see some folks going "aha! A use for LLMs!" but someone on fedi wrote a handcrafted "micro language model" -- his words analogizing it -- so my stream bot could detect when someone key smashes and automatically play the "password generated" event I've got set up for it. Extremely low CPU, could detect quickly in this case.

But that all still requires developers of these readers to implement functionality based on this misusage. Where do you draw the line? What about the folks who use those characters from non-Roman written languages that look like Roman characrers, like the racist "Asian font" generators?

For anyone familiar with pine tree stuff, especially Loblolly, what are these things on my baby loblolly pine? I'm not sure if they're harmful or not. This guy endured a fair time in a far smaller planter before moving him to this half wine barrel to get going.

2026-03-28T20:00:55Z

Of note folks, if you see the thing about "Telegram 9.8 flaw!!!" going around:

- There is _no_ confirmation of this yet, it's only listed as an "upcoming" vuln without assigned page on ZDI's site.
- Media/stickers/calls/etc are _not_ confirmed mechanisms at all, and may have nothing to do with it.
- We don't even know that it's an RCE, that's just an assumption that some other websites have run with.
- Other "9.8 CVSS" 'vunlerabilities' have been reported in the past for other software that were...not. This AI slop one against curl (https://hackerone.com/reports/3340109) comes to mind.

It just says the vendor is Telegram, and Telegram has numerous services. For all we know this could be related to their blockchain, their payment platforms, or a vulnerability allowing malicious takeover of someone else's bot. There is zero information, as the researcher themself has said nothing on what it is so far.

(If any part of this is no longer true please let me know with verified info and I will edit the post to remove those.)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116308118238736985

On this front I just realized uh...

Folks who want to use #Meshtastic devices to communicate at protests?

You probably should use a dedicated one that's only for these events and keep it turned off when not at the protest itself.

The standard firmware has hardware IDs broadcast -- it's why wiping one without restoring the old keys means your friends need to delete you from their NodeDB for a key refresh.

And that's a way to find you later.

IDK why some folks excuse Google shutting down service for the first 2 Nest thermostats as "well it's IoT, you shouldn't expect it to last".

It's a fucking thermostat. I damn well expect it to last and be supported as long as a thermostat normally is.

Honeywell manages this. My current Emerson manages this. Both of them are thermostat companies first, technology second.

So how come the tech-first company is fucking abysmal at tech longevity besides being worthless at tech?
