Notes

wait what

So I successfully rebuilt the battery in my ThinkPad 240. It only gets about an hour and a half with normal usage and I thought that seemed really low so something must be wrong, but that's what reviewers were getting back when these were new 🙃

Hey it's running on battery

What do you think, will it work?

I added ActivityPub/Fediverse stuff to
http://plan.cat so you can now follow user .plan updates by subscribing to @user@plan.cat

This is why OpenBSD has separate misc@ and tech@ mailing lists. Most developers aren't on misc@ and the whiners aren't on tech@ (except for me).

Google's "Sign in with Google" Javascript has started showing this big dialog as soon as the page loads, on at least Twitter and eBay. On Twitter's website it covers up the "Sign up with Apple" and regular email signup buttons. Seems kinda... anti-competitive?

Watching a video of someone stepping through an uglified version of your code that you never planned on releasing is like a code review from hell, but @awesomekling@twitter.com does it with grace :)

Whisper quiet compared to a Teletype, I suppose

I got this 3M Whisper Writer 1000 today but it was not able to advance the paper properly. I took it apart and found a cracked plastic piece on the stepper motor, modeled a replacement part, 3D printed it, and it works again.
