I’m on a phone, Discord. That’s now how phone apps work. How did this sort of nonsense make it past app review?

Ugh, some bot found the support form on my site. What is the point of this? Just checking to see if the form/site is online, but to what end?

I'm probably almost never going to end up using this in practice, but it's kind of nifty that it works

This might be the most nonsense micro-transaction I've ever seen. I exported a clip from Steam using H.265 and opened it in the default Windows media player and it prompted me to pay 99¢ to buy a new codec.

So I clicked 'not now' and opened it in VLC

Finally figured out why my compressed tiles have been a little too compressed. The number of pixels of color in each square is the same, and what tipped me off, was the same no matter the tile size. After many failed attempts I discovered I wasn't […]

So the good news is batching the compression is about twice as fast. The other good news is more glitch art! Eh, wait, no that's not good

I've ended up with some fun glitch art when the TIFF goes wrong in readable ways

Ok, more interesting, both visually and technically. The whole goal of writing a TIFF builder was to implement tiling, rather than the usual striping for storing data, and here we have four tiles.

I made a TIFF!

Sure, it's not much, but it's an artisanal hand-crafted TIFF

It may not look like much, but this is a valid (pretty sure) TIFF Image File Directory.

All of the gaming PC cross-grades today. Replaced the failing 2TB nVME with a newer 1TB, friend loaned me an RTX 3070 to try in place of my RX 5700. Almost installed another fan, but neither of us had one that fit my tiny case.

Pulled out the breadboard board and prototyped a new selectable write enable circuit, and I think it’s going to work. The three parts of the circuit, the GameBoy write enable, RP2040 write enable, and address decoder are run through dual MOSFET which […]

I think?? I may be able to solve two problems with, well, two chips. The central issue is that I need one circuit to be both input and output, but when it's an input I need to engage some additional logic so it's not directly tied to the GameBoy. The […]

I’ve no idea why my GameBoy Color wasn’t working with the cart earlier, but it is now, and this is just the coolest thing

On a whim I decided to clean out the pile of sweaters and scarfs that had collected in the top of my closet and build a shelf to hold them all. Drafted a friend to help out and for a one evening build it turned out quite nicely. The middle shelf is adjustable and my cat approves

I don’t need a Selectric. I don’t need a Selectric…

The GameBoy cart PCBs arrived earlier this week and they look so nice. The RP2040 portion all appears to work perfectly, was able to load the binary with no issues, which is a relief. Now I need to go through and update the EEPROM flashing code to […]

Very dramatic sunrise this morning

@helge I'm imaging something similar to putting regex in in forward slashes where the compiler can check the syntax in real time. A macro could compile source to check it, but you'd still be putting the source in as a string.

I'm imagining something like this

Took my espresso grinder apart and did a thorough cleaning. The shoot was partially clogged and there was coffee everywhere inside the machine. I noticed the gasket around the actual burrs had a tear in it and wasn't really seated correctly, so that might account for the excess of coffee.

It's been a little while since I've run across a dumb SwiftUI bug. In this case items in a DisclosureGroup in a List don't always disappear. Neat

I totally forgot `DecodableWithConfiguration` is a thing, and seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. A quick protocol for a config type that accepts an HTTP status code later and I can add an extension to my wrapper type that handles different codes
