I use Firefox as my preferred web browser both on PCs and my phone. One extension is always installed: uBlock Origin. The web is so much nicer with all the ads and tracking removed. But today I also retried an extension that will probably join the “must install” list: DarkReader. Especially when I’m browsing the web on my phone in the early morning, I don’t like to be blinded by white websites. Since March DarkReader has finally an option to detect if a website already has a dark theme and only apply it’s color chan … ⌘ Read more

The BBS is back On-Line, with more games a-comin’!
One of the chief goals of The House of Lunduke BBS is to preserve the best of 1980’s and 1990s BBS gaming — in all its ANSI, colorful text art glory. With that goal in mind, I recently took the BBS Off-Line for a much needed retro-fit… in order to properly accommodate a wider selection of classic BBS “Door” Games. ⌘ Read more

@niplav@niplav.github.io if he’s willing to be even more nerdy he could use https://lojban.org/publications/cll/cll_v1.1_xhtml-section-chunks/section-evidentials.html and possibly color-code them in some less important color than red

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, the colors :-D @ionores@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thank you mates! Well, there is a gelatine factory in the next city, but that is quite far away from where I was. You only smell that awful stuff (it’s also a different stench) if you’re close by. Probably just dying animals and the temperatures are not helping here. The vomits remain a mystery, though.

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I always enjoy crafts stuff, very nice! How did you make these golden speckles? Put color on a stiffer brush and then pull back the fibers to shoot the color through the air onto the guitar body?

I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:

• better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
  
• getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
  
• nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
  
• decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Being German I naturally don’t care for flags, but I have to admit the colored version on your website looks even nicer than the black and white one here. Are JGS at the very end the true initials of your name? And I can’t resist to ask which two states you left out? ]:-> Anyways, enjoy your holiday!

@prologic@twtxt.net Ta! And today was fricking colorful as well.

Nothing quite like a few days ago, but I also pulled up the shutters a bit too late. This is what I saw a couple of minutes ago:

Understanding Color Management
I worked on a project where I dived deep into understanding how modern
color management works, including things like color spaces, ICC profiles
and more. As I learnt here and there, I decided to write this post, both
for my future self, and others who may struggle with some of the
concepts as well.

Color management deals with translating between representations of
colors across a variety of devices. Throughout this post, we’ll use

Actually included a recipe for carrots in apricot glaze, as promised. (Primrose describes this as the color of her hair at the beginning of the chapter.) To be honest though I could do with a little less carrots in apricot glaze and with a little more waffles!

the c64 method would be an even cheaper video storage mechanism, but you wouldn’t get constant 2-bit color.

my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas

I’ve been thinking about storing the output of some of my audio-visual etudes in a more portable lossless 4-bit indexed color format, rather than rely on x264 directly. #halfbakedideas #etudes #breathingcards #longterm
