I'm attending a virtual Cypurr event 👍 but they're running it on Zoom 👎
It makes me sad. Kinda wish they'd set a better example.

CW: LARPers
As much as I want to enjoy LARPers, and like Mega64... this is what it's like being around people who are using the entire school/hotel/whatever to LARP and you're not in the game.
It's Miyazaki's 80th birthday and because he loves us and wants us to be happy, Ghibli just release almost 2,000 hi-res images from their films for reasonable use. So get on that.

Krembo
According to halacha, when eating a dish of mixed components, one need pronounce only the blessing over the main components, thus for a chocolate croissant one would say the blessing over the dough, and skip the blessing over the chocolate.But in the case of the Krembo, there is no consensus as to which is the "main" component: the biscuit, or the cream and chocolate. One solution is to bless over each component separately.
Today in digital archaeology: I wanted a PDF calendar generator and found one from 2009 that seemed nice, but the website had long ago disappeared. Luckily the internet archive had crawled it, and since the code was GPL'ed, I was able to update it to build on a modern system and produce page-a-day agendas for my e-ink tablet. https://github.com/osresearch/DynamicTemplates

Holy cow y'all! @system76 lifetime support proved itself to be UTTERLY PRICELESS on my first day with the new machine!
They gave me the following work around to this problem. Add:
CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
to your /etc/environment and reboot. No more mouse cursor poop trails when zoomed!!!
Totally impressed with my new Thelio. Amazing machine, beautiful and very well engineered.
