Thank God I have #GNOME System Monitor, without which I would never have figured out the process that's devouring my computer's memory is GNOME System Monitor.

Juxtaposition
Another red and black "knights" image. Here both attack (4,0), (4,1), and (5,0) and their rotations into the other quadrants. The board is 4001 x 4001.
I found a big puffball in the woods! Except on closer examination it wasn't a puffball, it was a chunk of Styrofoam. Close though.
Buy 12 of these and glue them together to make a dodiscohedron.
RE: @elduvelle@neuromatch.social
What a mission! Not just that they went to the Moon and back, which is phenomenal in itself, but just about everything seems to have gone perfectly. Some problems with the toilet and some inconsequential helium leaks, that's it. You can argue with the decisions they make and bemoan the delays but in the end NASA still delivers.

They fixed the toilet.
No word on whether there was handle jiggling involved or not.

@liachra@aus.social @nickzoic@aus.social The really stupid thing is that if it weren't for the error "message", I wouldn't have realized an error had occurred. Nothing bad or out of the ordinary had happened, so far as I could tell.
How to find out if it’s raining
Without using a rope
You use Python, of course, and the National Weather Service API (because of course you're in the US). It's fairly simple.

@Walker@infosec.exchange I haven't watched crewed launches live in 40 years. Can't. Too traumatic.

@Walker@infosec.exchange Especially since one of the fairly few uncrewed launches I've watched live was Cygnus Orb-3 from Wallops in 2014, which exploded.

News of possible trans interest.
Replying to
@nickzoic@aus.social @AceArsenault@fosstodon.org I'm in the thinking and drawing stages of something fairly similar. Probably a Jankó layout as described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jank%C3%B3_keyboard but also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphic_keyboard for others. Not so compact because of its redundancy, but allows easy transposition and can be used for microtonality.

Also the Christmas wrapping paper. Pretty sure that wasn't premature.
