[01:55:42] Compy Oh I love this. Andrew was bat shit crazy.

[01:55:52] Compy s/was/is

[01:57:10] Compy No offense, since I guess technically you work with him.

[01:58:06] Compy Syndus: Csat iron?

[01:58:10] Compy Cast Iron*

[01:58:31] Compy That's the way to do it!

[03:53:33] Compy Batmanhush: Embedded graphics?

[06:05:46] Compy mornin

[06:07:33] Compy image URL back to the clipboard.

[06:07:33] Compy oh, just set up some utilities throughout the day. I take a lot of screenshots for work, code snippets, dashboards, etc. So I set up a self hosted image service like imgur on my own cluster here. Then wrote some python that wires it up to greenshot. So using one keyboard shortcut, I can take a screenshot of the window, screen, region, then a popup menu comes up, I hit "Send to <blah>" and it uploads to the local cluster and automatically copies the

[06:09:45] Compy Also been working on a hardware design using a Raspberry Pi pico (2040 chip). Some aspects of it are wonky. For example, to flash new code onto it, you need to unplug it/plug it back into USB while holding the reset button down. It gets old when you're wanting to flash code to it often (debugging/testing). So found out how to force the board to do a software reset, then wrote some python to automatically flash it from vscode. Overall super productive

[06:09:45] Compy day.

[06:09:47] Compy Heya Guest871.

[06:12:14] Compy Definitely can't complain!

[06:12:24] Compy How goes, login?

[06:17:22] Compy Just lame out and become software engineers like the rest of us!

[06:18:59] Compy yeah. I wish my degrees were 9K per year

[06:29:03] Compy ComputerTech: Looking good! The contact page needs some love though

[06:30:08] Compy ComputerTech: Yeah, appears to: https://skylab.sh/i/1a88e373-e27b-45c2-bb57-421365a6fbd4.png

[06:31:15] Compy ComputerTech: Yeah, its inverting. https://skylab.sh/i/a91e97af-1c22-4db4-a3ac-de44851ee0dc.png

[06:32:21] Compy ComputerTech: Idea - if you're going to use the "about me" code block, see about adding some syntax highlighting. (Plenty of JS libraries that do it). It'd really pretty that bit up

[06:33:13] Compy +1 to that.

[06:33:23] Compy oooh, achievement unlocked.

[06:34:41] Compy ooh, I remember the jsemu concept (where they could boot windows 95 in your browser under emulation). It'd be interesting to see that redone in wasm.

[06:36:58] Compy I'm still one of the diehards on firefox.

[06:37:17] Compy and really just because their container tabs model I happen to love.

[06:38:20] Compy So is Windows, but I'm using it

[06:39:15] Compy I had popOS on my other drive. After 48 hours and the fucking CLIPBOARD stopped working, I wanted to hang myself.

[06:39:33] Compy (though it was a wayland bug)

[06:42:19] Compy Well, even if I use a completely free distro (so that Stallman can pop a rod), I'm still paid to make that dirty ol' skanky non-free software.

[06:44:13] Compy Gentoo: Yeah.

[06:45:39] Compy I even have a business that sells proprietary software, zomg!

[06:50:28] Compy It checks out. Send them what they want!

[06:55:15] Compy dawww, pet the snek

[16:05:37] Compy Good morning all
