so there's programs that can take raster art and vectorise it and there's programs that can take vector art and transform it into kicad pcb files and it turns out you can just bodge those together into one cursed pipeline and feed it some of your sona art and no-one tries to stop you?

this emf was my first time soundteching a band! (not on my own, supervised by @keytarrex.bsky.social as the lead eng). it's *so frickin much fun* to hear issues and then fix them and hear the fix and know you've fixed it for everyone

I find heat pumps deeply unintuitive "you can use energy to transfer heat against a temperature gradient, from a cold sink to a hot sink" intuitively feels to me like it should be pointless. sure, you can do that, but surely you can only move as much energy as you've expended, so you may as well

if you end up doing most of the things you seriously consider doing, you should probably widen the set of things that you seriously consider

furries being cringe is a feature, not a bug. it means our spaces are aversive to the sort of people who prioritise being high social status, which means they (to some extent) self-select out of that space, which is a super useful filter.

hiding inside most games is a good strip version of that game, but figuring out the right way to do it can be tricky (in particular to get an appropriate pace of clothing loss that matches the mood of the room)

some friends & I once attempted to make a good game out of monopoly, adding freedom of contract and other tweaks on playtesting, it went 3 hours before we unanimously agreed to stop and never play it again but making the ruleset was fun, and at the end of the day isn't that what really matters

mildly amused when orgs hide economic transactions behind thin veneers "we will never sell tickets, tickets are free until they run out! oh btw if you donate to our patreon you have access to a separate allocation of tickets in case that affects your decision in any way 😇'

ok, after switching database providers twice (neon -> fly.io managed postgres -> RDS), plus switching and half-rewriting postgres client libs, I think I have finally fixed the db connection issues bunnypaws.kadei.net was having (particularly after a fly.io firecracker resume). phew

was playing around with postgres yesterday experimenting with different strategies for stats queries for bunnypaws. just noticed that one of the queries, having timed out at the psql, had continued running on the server side. for the last 24 hours.

so it turns out all slash commands in a group are sent to all bots in that group. which is surprising because you register the bot as being able to handle specific commands. but that's apparently purely for the autocomplete ui and doesn't act as a filter? seems kinda jank

had two levoit LV-PUR131 air purifiers, both broke after 3yrs, dead electrolytic capacitors. got hold of new caps, tried replacing them and bugger me they go out of their way to make it hard. glued-in power cables, blobs of glue on the circuit board, one triangular screwhead just to fuck with you..
cables plugged into a control board with visible glue stopping you unplugging themscrewhead that needs a triangular screwdriver. (or a flathead of exactly the right size which is what I used..)

finally got some free time today to make some headway on a new (non-work) project and feeling hyped for it! this is what I needed to get over the pawsome fiasco. ah, new software smell 😊 keeping the details under wraps for now (since it's a rewrite of a friend's existing project)

so for a while now I'd been working with Neutron, who was one of the directors of Pawsome, on a registration system. It was on track to be ready for reg in 2026. I've previously worked on con reg systems and knew I could do something that avoided the
