Now it has a proper deployment to AWS Lambda (I started this before but never actually finished it) and it'll get run on a schedule tweeting a few times/day.

Now it's off to pack for holiday travel.

A lil ☧mas project - I fixed up Salacious Patronym, a bot that turns celeb names into sexual innuendo. It tweets things like this: https://t.co/8XKNLab8Zi

@thecodinghatter Whoa, no I did not know that. Fascinating

Here's a video of switching inputs in the browser on my laptop. The coolest. Enterprise vendors charge SO MUCH for features like this lol https://t.co/J2P4BnEgQu

Here is the PiKVM on top with the 4 port HDMI KVM on the bottom. When I change inputs in the PiKVM software it even changes the lights on the HDMI KVM https://t.co/V0OHKpVdus

Even works from my phone (slowly) https://t.co/TYxD5xiirB

Got my PiKVM v3 HAT and 4 port HDMI KVM this week and just got em hooked up. This is so great, I finally have a decent way to troubleshoot my home servers without connecting them to a monitor

Did you know that a normal LED can also receive light? 🚨 It can! In this paper, we point a laser at build-in LEDs of offices devices and transmit data to their firmware. This covert communication can bridge 25m with a throughput of 128 kbps. https://t.co/xrUVEEjzuR 1/3 https://t.co/YbI5F6ZS1Y

When the Fractal Syndrome eventually takes hold in the brain, strange behaviours start to occur. Though the changes are unconscious at first, they are visible when crowds spontaneously form into self-repeating patterns. Children start showing fractal conducts earlier than adults. https://t.co/lVgYwnC167 https://t.co/sz0I6mKH1l

RT @GreatDismal: A one level, this was exactly the sort of thing I had in mind:

I want to do this so I can finish building support for the media endpoint in Interpersonal, my Micropub app for Hugo blogs hosted on Github (and eventually other static site generators and Git hosts too) https://t.co/kyZ7WFFv7g

Doing this would make Unfortunate, my project for web terminals into WebAssembly Linux virtual machines, work much better. ASCII only is so limiting! https://t.co/vycahMKjQv

And this is a necessary building block to a dream I've had for a long time, Raspberry Pi systems that have a mostly-read-only SD card with a tiny kernel and just enough code to download a small kernel and in-memory rootfs https://t.co/igfcVMkWaN

What would I do with Twitter fame? Easy. I would post links to my StackExchange questions in hopes that someone might actually know how to answer them

I don't think I've ever been scolded by anyone more than Atlassian realizing we're out of support on our Bitbucket instance at work. They took some extra time to scold us for having some Git hooks written in Python 2. (Not sure if you've heard, but Python 2 is deprecated.)

RT @eggshellfriend: Nice hill man. I said nice hill man. Nice hill. {nudging him} Oh fuck

I enabled vim commands in Obsidian and now I can't copy text with the keyboard at all. I enabled vim in vs code and now I can't copy text into the system clipboard, only the vs code -specific yank buffer or whatever it's called. Suffering.

macOS gets keyboards right in a way that Windows and Linux do not. Dedicated key for GUI shortcuts like copy/paste, leaving ctrl for the terminal and your editor. Under-appreciated.

macOS also has extremely good key remapping support with DefaultKeyBinding.dict, which allows not just uncontroversial emacs bindings like ctrl-f for moving the cursor forward one character, but even opt-f for moving forward one word.

People keep telling me that Windows is good for Unix nerds now and I am trying to believe you but how the fuck are you able to keep track of which app requires ctrl-c and which app requires ctrl-shift-c for copying text. This is suffering.

This would make a dope deepfake https://t.co/oGIfJIBvJC

@jifarris I have read a bit about webauthn, but don't fully understand it yet. It would be great if it eventually solves this problem. I'd really like to be able to offer login via fb/github/twitter/google/email/everything, without having to have a separate button for each.

@mrled I don’t really understand this world but your tweet reminded me of this article’s headline. https://t.co/Tsw8DZN7l3

I wish I could support a dozen or more authentication systems on a website without having to display them all as separate buttons. Maybe if the browser saved a preference for auth service? Or if the browser handled login itself (more private)?

@matthew_d_green E2EE backups are at least an easy to understand difference; "client-side scanning" could mean anything, and a concern of the Apple initiative was that the meaning would change over time. But E2EE backups required for E2EE to have any meaning at all. Not sure how to choose.

So let’s say we had no client-side scanning, but E2EE backup became politically infeasible for some companies. How would that world strike people?

You know what the Docker security model is missing? The ability to grant a specific user access to 'exec' into just a specific container. (Any solution would have to survive container restarts / redeployments, of course.)

Back at work today, the Ergodox I left here with Cherry Red switches is much louder than the one I have at home which now uses Boba U4 silent tactile switches. Hearing them back to back, the U4s are much nicer. Recommended.

I'd like to fix that, because I think that good og:image files for https://t.co/N5g8iutnCv and https://t.co/i3aZDQC8B3 make a huge difference - you can see something interesting without even clicking, which is really cool. However, I'm bored of working on these lol.

I _REALLY_ wish that everyone that consumes og:image would also consume a web page, since that's how everyone is generating these things anyway! Stop making me generate an image for you and do it yourself imo

(This comes as I have just built YET ANOTHER custom HTML template for displaying to a headless browser for the sole purpose of screenshotting the HTML and using it as an og:image. This time in Hugo. Unreleased project, details to come.)

Just found another one of these: https://t.co/B0zE7gaJGx https://t.co/eaL9Z5HW7d

I wonder if it's any faster to host it on Netlify as 11ty is doing, rather than on Vercel as I am doing? Vercel is so slow that Twitter refuses to use the image most of the time :(. For instance, in the linked tweet above, it should show you an image, but it mostly doesn't for me

Would be cool if I could follow blogs interspersed with tweets, like telling my feed reader that authors of a certain blog are a list of Twitter accounts, and it would show me pseudo-posts of all their tweets chronologically in between actual blog posts

@Virtual1nstinct I love this idea
