Messing around with #strudel (aka #tidalcycles). I sort of picked the least interesting song ever to recreate or at least I did it in the least interesting way. There has to be a way to exploit the massive redundancies in this song to get a more compact format

strudel.ccStrudel REPLStrudel is a music live coding environment for the browser, porting the TidalCycles pattern language to JavaScript.

For 1.1α I am experimenting with a wider image display. Moving the tags below the text and the navigational elements (back, forth, map, etc.) to the right, should improve the UX here somewhat. This has been A/B tested by some α users, and generally found more acclaim than rejection.

I've also added the masonry setting for the main timeline (for desktop sizes, mobile automatically uses reverse chronological one column) in 1.1.

Finally: Podcasts are in, with Apple and Spotify support, only Atom/RSS needs some polishing.

I know, I am probably the only person admitting to playing WoW, but if you're secretly also playing the game and use TitanPanel, I'd have something for you: LegionRemixer, a simple tracker for your Remix currencies and progress. Just in case you are, you know... And if you are, let's Mythic.

@nixCraft You just reminded me of the time I got banned from GitHub. It was about a year ago - for no reason at all 🤷‍♂️ Back then, I barely committed anything, and I used the social features even less. One day, I logged in to activate the Student Pack and saw that my account was banned :blobangery:

Luckily, I contacted support 🛠️, and if I remember correctly, everything was back to normal the next day. They told me their moderation algorithms (yes, they use AI 🤖) had made a mistake, and my account was reactivated.

Still, :github: GitHub has been drifting away from my values for some time now, and that trend hasn't stopped. At the same time, my standards have been gradually getting stricter. So now I'm seriously considering switching to 🏔️ @Codeberg. I just need to sort out a few things with my current projects on GitHub, especially the ones I'm not working on alone.

Hey, look, this little thing made this week's CodePen Spark!

#CSS#cssGrid#code

Because this got asked on reddit reddit.com/r/css/comments/1o06

Made a demo with various options for angled grid columns. Uses mathematical computations to ensure all fits just right all the time, regardless of viewport or number of columns.

On @codepen codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/Wbr

Enjoy!

Is anybody working on that? There are many millions of parents, hundreds I know, who are desperate for that all over the world. So their kids can play and learn and work, but....just as in physical space...only in areas their parents think about and allow.

Surely that must exist or somebody has set up something similar?

If this really doesn't exist and somebody wants to do this #startup, DM me.

Please stop setting `width: 100vw` on the `body`.

It's unnecessary. By default, the `body` stretches horizontally as much as necessary.

It's problematic. Setting `width: 100vw` on it can cause overflow even if you remove the default `margin`... because the page may have a scrollbar.

Ok, well, the last test seems to have worked, and with that #Bullhorn is a fully fledged ⁂ Fediverse instance. This means, there' a new kid on the block, a small but hopefully somewhat useful single-user-self-hosted instance for hikers, travelers, photographers, and anyone else looking for something a bit more photo-forward to host themselves.

In a nutshell, Bullhorn is a Django/Python (curse you, @simon@simonwillison.net for making me like it back in the "Simon eats Quail" days) microblog with fediverse (ActivityPub) features, that scratches my itch of needing a decent solution to upload my #DigiLux2 and #iPhone17Pro images and document my traveling.

After cancelling my Flickr account (had it since 2004, my first photo was the oldest still on their servers for a long, long, time, until someone backdated their Getty collection, but it was uploaded during the Etech Beta Demo), I needed something to fill the void. Bullhorn was meant to be a local-only replacement. Then it got galleries and AI and text posts, and after I was in for that penny, I figured why not go in for the pound and make it speak ActivityPub.

I'll probably do a livestream this weekend about it. We'll see :)
