Want to assist with oulipo translation? You can kibitz on non-compliant strings at https://oulipo.link/5AGDIR

Right-click on a string and add your oulipo-compliant translation in a pop-up kibitzing form.

Thanks!

(Only low-hanging fruit shows up in this tool; difficult-to-track-down strings don't.)

What I bought today: a bigass jug of liquid brown sugar.

Also: hmm.

Oh! I think I know how to apply that local-only patch to our instantiation. Gonna try it now; sorry about this coming blackout!

Upgrading is through. I want to apply that patch for instantiation-only toots, but I still gotta find out how to do that. For now, just a bump from 2.9.2 to 2.9.3.

Gonna try updating our mastodon instantiation again in a bit, from 2.9.2 to 2.9.3. Also adding a glyph or two to its list of glyphs what is forbid. Forbad. Bad. Bad for us.

Anyway, right. Upgrading. Starting in a bit.

Arguing about copyright with far-away folks I don’t know again. What is my malfunction; why do I always do this?

I am also a wizzard, fwiw.

"It _says_ it's utf-8; why is it acting as though it's iso-8859-1? Why so much ÂÂÂ all around, stinking up this joint?"

*think*

*light bulb*

(httpd misconfiguration in a spot I didn't think of at first.)

@sculpin is a wizzard.

I was working on a javascript bug for work for almost four hours. Told @sculpin about it. "Is it a DTD thing?"

Folks, it was a DTD thing. I didn't know that was a thing that could fuck up how javascript works, but obviously it is.

It took only a short bit to fix with that hint. Many thanks, @sculpin !

@bnjnswhtblr Thanks!

Got a not-as-old talk/sms/pokymon-go-playing box, and gotta switch all my two factor auth digits now. *sigh*

Writing: good, fun. Hiding actual ID: not a strong suit.

Figuring out who owns a 'nym with a good book just out and dropping him a DM to say I dug it: uncouth? Mayhap, but I'm doing it anyway.

NB: Oulipo.social may go away for a bit soon, thanks to upgrading.

Sorry about all that instantiation bouncing tonight, folks. Polls put a ... kind of hand tool ... in ... a thing that wants no hand tools in it. Whilst I was fixing that, I did a thing or two past my original plan. That's why all that up and down. Again, sorry!

I'm hoping that this sign will cut down on how many days a month our human lift isn't working. I'm not a fan of all our stairs, and wish I could go up and down in our lift.

A graphic I saw a call for at work today. "No big and awkward loads in our human-lifting lift, thanks. That's what our mondo-duty lift is for."
