I was reading up on Aaron Swartz once before bed while hitting a weed pen and I had somehow convinced myself I was facing felony charges and had to go to court to fight jail time and I lost it... unplugged my computer from the wall and shoved my face in my pillow until I was able to calm down and realize my foolishness before going to sleep.

Free speech enthusiasts are exercising hatred. Before non-hateful people realize this they sometimes conflate it with the inversion: speaking truth to power. Or sometimes simply "freedom" which isn't perfectly absolute when we live in a society. If you wanna witness hatred then follow the free speech thread.

This line in `~/.newsboat/config` will allow for hitting ",d" to download the current link with `dl.sh` which wraps `yt-dlp`. ``` macro d set browser "~/bin/dl.sh %u 2>&1 >/dev/null &" ; open-in-browser ; set browser "xdg-open %u" ``` Here's an example `dl.sh` file that uses `notify-send` so you know something is going to happen in the background and as a chance to cancel the operation. It downloads videos to ~/Videos/Downloads. Modify to taste! ``` #!/bin/bash if [[ "no" != $(notify-send --app-name="yt-dlp" \ --urgency=low \ --transient "Starting download for $1" \ --action=no="Nevermind!") ]]; then yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all \ --live-from-start \ --output "~/Videos/Downloads/%(title)s - %(channel)s (%(id)s).%(ext)s" "$1" else printf "Aborted.\n" exit 1 fi ``` NOTE: if you close newsboat it will also stop the yt-dlp process.
I remember people I'd like to get to know em Its kinda like my brain is closed But my heart is open Maybe my heart is broken A comet slammed into the planet Then it parted oceans I even started smoking But then I quit the smoking I still dream of deep breathing and my lips is open I'm coming into focus I used to practice trying to talk like I was Mr. Bogus I bet a lot of lonely people think of kissing posters

This is certainly the closest I've ever been to trying emacs... but for better or for worse I probably won't get around to even trying it until a decade from now and then just like LISP I'll probably think damn I should have tried this a decade ago.
I've got a few fennel projects to get to a good place and then I'm really excited to look into Lisp Flavored Erlang!

The math behind the game is `atan2` which I use to get the angle from a thing to another thing: ```lua function ato(from,to) return atan2( to.x-from.x, to.y-from.y ) end ``` And then when you give that angle to `cos` for the x axis and `sin` for the y axis you get (x,y) coords that can be multiplied by the number of pixels you want to "move" in that direction. So this function assumes a table like `{x,y,a,s}` and returns new a new x,y multiplied by `s` for "speed"... ```lua function amove(●,s) s=s or ●.s return ●.x+cos(●.a)*s, ●.y+sin(●.a)*s end ``` I use both those together like this to move the worms each frame. (This symbol: ∧ looks more like a worm in the Pico-8 font. If you didn't notice I like the emoji for variables 😋) ```lua for ∧ in all(∧s) do ∧.a=ato(∧,웃) ∧.x,∧.y=amove(∧) end ``` The astitue reader may have noticed `amove` allows one to supply their own `s` instead of the table's `s`... this is useful when you want to calculate things along something like a line, I mean the length of a worm. For example if we put everything together then we get this loop that, after a bullet (`✽`) moves, checks every part of a worm (`for ∧t=0,∧.l do` where `∧.l` is worm length and `∧t` is each "tail" pixel) and if they collided deletes both and plays a sound effect. `amove` is given each `∧t` but it's not actually used to move the worm, just to reconstruct it's body for collision detection. ```lua for ∧ in all(∧s) do for ∧t=0,∧.l do ∧x,∧y=amove(∧,∧t) if flr(✽.x)==flr(∧x) and flr(✽.y)==flr(∧y) then del(bullets,✽) del(∧s,∧) if #∧s==0 then sfx(2) else sfx(1) end end end end ```

This has happened to me way too many times. I think it remembers being on an external monitor or something and then you can't get to it with a mouse and also the [PowerToys FancyZones](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzones) shortcuts don't work. **Use `Shift+Right Click` on the taskbar icon for the window and select "Move"**. You may also need to fiddle the arrow keys a bit if moving the mouse doesn't immediately snap the window to that location.  "Windows" is an awful window manager as it turns out.
`iperf3` is installable via `scoop` and `yay`. You simply run the server on one computer and point the client at that IP from another computer. ```powershell # On one computer iperf3 --server # On another computer iperf3 --client <ip> ``` You can get your IP address on Linux like this. For Ethernet look under (probably) `end0` and for wifi (probably) `wlan0`. ```powershell ip addr ``` On Windows you can use `Get-NetIPAddress`. ```powershell # For Ethernet Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Ethernet* # For Wi-Fi Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Wi-Fi ``` If you're diligent about firewalling then you'll probably need to open up the port (default is `5201`)

The native [Windows Snipping Tool](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/snipping-tool/9MZ95KL8MR0L) is pretty good. It is bundled with an editor and the built-in key bind `Win+Shift+S` is easy enough to remember. Unfortunately (maybe because they are working on screen recording?) its been busted for a few weeks now at the time of writing (check out the recent reviews) and I needed a work around. Turns out that [snipaste](https://www.snipaste.com) is way better anyway! For some reason installing it with `scoop` didn't work for me but getting it from the Microsoft Store did. It's feature packed and quite intuitive. The first customization I made was change the default `f1` and `f3` copy/paste keybinds to `Alt+S` and `Alt+V` 👍  Also for screen recording I poked around [ScreenToGif](https://www.screentogif.com) which I think I'll keep around and see if I like...

Indie and self-hosted object storage providers could help diversify who is storing the end data (ideally less Amazon and big corps). I've heard things about https://min.io but haven't dug into it beyond that. And pict-rs instances using filesystem/sled are already set, although cost for disk is more expensive than objects I think?
