I experimented with this a little and noticed that everything but the score seems to be at least a bit random 😅

An auto-generated “My Anime Aura” graphic from the service Komiko titled “Cult Classic Connoisseur.” It displays a 3×3 grid of anime posters in the following order: Bloom Into You, Birdy the Mighty: Decode, Land of the Lustrous, The Demon Girl Next Door, HINAMATSURI, Little Witch Academia (TV), Gatchaman Crowds, Arpeggio of Blue Steel, and Plastic Memories. Below the grid is a chibi fox girl next to pink text reading “+68,000 Aura”. The description says: “You are the patron saint of cult hits and underrated existential blues. +15000 aura for the existential dread aesthetic. +8000 aura for the wholesome chaos balance. -5000 aura for the Plastic Memories trauma bait. Stop gatekeeping your taste and touch some grass bestie.”

A similar “My Anime Aura” graphic from Komiko, this one titled “Aesthetic Chaos Enjoyer.” It features the exact same nine anime posters as the previous image, but in reverse order, starting with Plastic Memories and ending with Bloom Into You. The bottom section features the same chibi fox girl and “+68,000 Aura” score, but the text below reads: “You are an internet-savant who heals their soul with refined chaos. +15000 aura for that Land of the Lustrous taste. -2000 aura for the Plastic Memories emotional trauma. +8000 aura for the Birdy the Mighty deep cut. Cringe is dead, and your vibe is immaculate, bestie.”

You'll quickly notice that it asks for a phone number. This is a bit annoying, but luckily, unlike WhatsApp, no one needs to know it. Instead, you create a username and share that. For example, mine's “Leovano.01”:

On mobile, it's even worse, because: 1. If you have the numeric row always enabled, the same issue applies 2. If you don't, then you can use the wrong layout instead (screenshot below) 3. Autocorrect won't save you here 😵‍💫

Combined screenshot showing two views of a mobile keyboard in dark mode: the top half displays the default letter layout (QWERTY top row visible), and the bottom half shows the special characters' layout (number top row visible). The keys in both rows occupy the same positions — for example, the '1' key aligns exactly where 'Q' is — illustrating how typing in the wrong layout can produce an unintended output (e.g., typing '1920' yields 'QOWP').

Although… now that I've opened it again, I'm struggling to read the text, particularly the links 🥲

Ahem… regardless. It reads:

Not even a proper TLS configuration. The do, indeed, suck.

Screenshot of an error page on Firefox for Android. At the top, an illustration shows an open, red padlock with white motion lines emanating from the tip of its upper body (as if it just popped open), set against dark grey clouds. The main heading reads, "Sichere Verbindung fehlgeschlagen" (Secure connection failed). Below this, two bullet points explain: "Dies könnte ein Problem mit der Konfiguration des Servers sein oder jemand, der vorgibt, der Server zu sein." (This could be a problem with the server's configuration or someone pretending to be the server.) and "Falls Sie früher bereits erfolgreich eine Verbindung zu dem Server aufgebaut haben, könnte dies ein vorübergehender Fehler sein. Versuchen Sie es in diesem Fall später noch einmal." (If you have successfully connected to the server before, this could be a temporary error. In this case, try again later.) Two buttons are visible: a purple "Erneut versuchen" (Try again) button and a grey "Erweitert..." (Advanced...) button. At the bottom, a navigation bar shows a back arrow, the site's favicon as chosen by the browser (an "M" icon in a grey background), and the text "Sichere Verbindung fehlgeschlagen" (Secure connection failed). Below this, the URL "https://microsoft.sucks/" is displayed, followed by a bell icon with a slash through it and the text "Verbindung ist nicht sicher" (Connection is not secure).

Same 😵‍💫 The only two times I interacted with her were to make a brief private comment (~3 messages on average) about a post and then leave 💀

Meme: A three-panel comic from Sailor Moon.

Panel 1: Tuxedo Mask, wearing a black top hat, white mask, tuxedo, and a black cape with a red lining, stands with his arm out, holding his cape open. He says, “My job here is done”.

Panel 2: Sailor Moon, in her white, blue, and red sailor uniform, looks up and to the right with a confused or exasperated expression. She says, “But you didn't do anything”.

Panel 3: Tuxedo Mask is shown from the side, turning to walk away, with his black cape flowing behind him.

Oh, fair. I didn't realise that AOSP supported modes — that's a Samsung feature for centuries 😵‍💫 At least on our side, they always coexisted. The Modes option has just been given a new button on the extended Quick Action panel, which is useless but which I can't remove 😒

A screenshot showing the top part of the Quick Actions panel on One UI 7. The six quick actions are: 'Wi-Fi', 'Bluetooth', 'Battery Saver', 'Tone and Vibration', 'Do Not Disturb', and 'Modes'.

A screenshot showing the bottom part of the extended Quick Actions panel on One UI 7. There is a widget containing brightness and audio sliders, followed by two widgets containing two large buttons each: 'Smart View', 'Modes', 'Devices Nearby' and 'SmartThings'. Each widget can be rearranged, but not removed.

At least it's nowhere near as invasive as Google's, and you can disable it there 🙏

The folder is where a BTRFS file system on `/dev/sdb2` is mounted, an 803 GiB partition that is 97% full. The screenshot shows that the folder uses 1.2 TiB of space and contains over 1.8 million files and 299 thousand subfolders.

GitHub achieves the former in a fairly interesting way: If your username contains an underscore, it assumes that it's an account that uses SP-initiated SSO — otherwise, the traditional username/password combination is used.

Also, even with the new autofill API, the choice seems to be made on the keyboard, so it also needs support for the API.

Well, at least he's still letting you use the keyboard 😆

An orange and white cat is asleep on a wooden desk, partially covering a mechanical keyboard left to the side to make room for him. His head is resting near the base of a computer monitor, with the right paw extended towards a mouse pad. The cat's body is slightly curled up, with its tail resting on the desk.

One of my cats just found out that there was a higher place to be all this time 😆

A black cat sits on a tall wooden table, its mouth wide open, showing sharp teeth and a pink tongue. His ears are pricked, his whiskers stick out and his front paws dangle slightly over the edge.

Speaking of which: I did it! 🥳 Now I just need to… remember what I was supposed to put on it in the first place 💀 (it's almost 4am help 😭)

A web page tab with the URL https://hai.leovano.dev. The page is a text/plain with the content “Hai!”. This is a simple “Hello World”-like service deployed on k8s, and being able to hit it means that it's working.

The blanket is brown, so the black part is his back: His head is stuffed under the blanket.

The same picture I sent before, but with a badly drawn red circle to the left of the dark blanket, which is, indeed, my cat.

Ah yes, the game that all black cat owners occasionally play (with or without their consent): “Where's Black?” 😅

A dark blanket is draped over the back of a couch and a light brown cushion with black patterns in the corner of a room with white walls. A black cat is curled up next to the blanket, almost disappearing in its shadow.

A GC doesn't even matter here, as it never touches internal state. And even if it did, there's a big difference between an entry with an empty value and no entry at all: in the former, the entry itself still exists, so it *still* takes up space in the hash table. To think otherwise is insanity 😭

A NodeJS console session demonstrating the difference between setting an object property to undefined and deleting it. Initially, an object a is created with properties "a": 1, "b": 2, and "c": 3". Running Object.keys(a) and Object.values(a) outputs ['a', 'b', 'c'] and [1, 2, 3] respectively. After setting a.c = undefined, the keys remain ['a', 'b', 'c'], but the values update to [1, 2, undefined], indicating that the key "c" still exists. After deleting a.c, running Object.keys(a) returns ['a', 'b'], and Object.values(a) returns [1, 2], showing that the key "c" has been fully removed from the object.

It seems that higher-order functions for arrays in Crystal are indeed eager 😵‍💫 Fortunately, there's a proper way around this issue (just need to get an iterator out of it), but it's something that can take one by surprise.

$The first image (left) shows a terminal session where a Crystal script (hello.cr) attempts to generate an infinite range (0..(1.0/0.0)), apply .map { |x| x }, and use .first(10). However, due to Crystal's eager evaluation, the program hangs upon execution. The user builds the script in release mode and runs it but has to terminate it manually (^C).$ The second image (right) shows a terminal session where the Crystal script (hello.cr) is modified to use .each before .map, converting the range (0..(1.0/0.0)) into an iterator. This change allows for lazy evaluation, preventing the program from eagerly iterating over the infinite range. The script successfully extracts the first 10 numbers and prints [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9].

Either that, or we're cooked.

A digitally altered portrait of Chinese President Xi Jinping with exaggerated muscular features in his face and shoulders, reminiscent of the “Chad” meme archetype. Wearing a dark suit, white shirt and blue tie, he smiles confidently. A Chinese flag can be seen behind him. The image has a caption at the top that reads “Do nothing”, followed by “Win”. The meme humorously suggests that Xi Jinping achieved success effortlessly, without direct action.

I have two cats, but I'm really terrible at taking pictures, including of them. I think the best I have is this one (of one of them), just because there's so little in it to mess up 😅

Yeah, and this can also “mess up” some statistics, like the one below 😅
