@reynir I pretty much don't :P I learned when I was young and picked it again up for a little while about 10 years ago, but until very recently I was traveling too much to even try picking it up again.
I just played a bit of #cello for the first time in *mumble* years and fell in love all over again <3 hands seem to remember a little bit about how to play it, and there are at least a few scales and bits of melody lurking somewhere deep in the brain; looking forward to finding out what else is hiding in there...
yo i'm in a mag! the recompiler published an article by @jamey and i about mesh networks :D :D :D
> Our first issue of 2018 focuses on the hard problems we try to solve in our work and our careers.

@Gotterdammerung The Mastodon web interface and app allow natively tagging the image (just click on it and not the "X"). If a mobile app doesn't, I suppose it's up to its users to pressure the developer to add similar support for the native alt text.
General request: if you post pictures, please please include alt text describing the image so that everyone, regardless of visual ability, can enjoy your toot.
Please consider asking others to do this. Optionally, reconsider boosting toots if they don't have alt text.
We all have an opportunity to help shape the culture of this place and I'd love, love, love if it were "oh, everyone posts alt text with their images because that's just what you do."
@jamey it me :P
@Kensan If we follow through on the work juga0 started at the hack retreat, we'll probably have to do something about this since we'll have a UNIX-usable charrua-based client which will probably be interacting in messy real-world scenarios where IP conflicts might happen :/
@jamey Yeah, I did a full batch in early 2014, which feels like a really long time ago!
Pretty pumped about #recursecenter mini-batches (1 week, rather than 12 or 6) being a thing: https://www.recurse.com/blog/127-a-new-way-to-join-the-rc-community .
I just applied for one despite my semi-resolution to travel less this year 😅
@Kensan Nope, we didn't - in practice most MirageOS DHCP clients are already on their own vlan/subnet so it hasn't been called for, and it makes the lease acquisition (and therefore time to real unikernel start) slower. It wouldn't be hard to implement though.
sunday status: two seconds away from yelling "YOU ARE NOT FUCKING BRITISH" at my laptop, which has decided it has a tall enter key and a <>\| key (incorrect, it does not)
#OCaml on ESP32 "Getting OCaml running on the ESP32"

Come on down to Mastodon, we've got slimes, witches, kobolds, communists, animes, catgirls, catboys, all the genders, a lobster

Fruit of the 1st few weeks of 2018 work with https://t.co/S47MG1KqSZ: End to end tests for https://t.co/uPeFThtI7c on KVM w/ nested virtualization, using https://t.co/ztRawaJmIy! #solo5
I really recommend the app Be My Eyes (google play/appstore), which connects blind & visually impaired users with sighted volunteers, for video calls related to small day-to-day tasks (choosing an item of clothing based on colour, checking expiry dates on food, etc). You are matched by language, and if a volunteer can't pick up a call from someone needing help, someone else will take care of it - calls go out to several volunteers at once. So yeah, great app, free, etc.
@reynir Thank you! :D
@jacquespa I really want to talk with someone who is doing it before I commit. If it's a lot of work I'd rather pursue some completely non-corporate solution, but if it's relatively trivial then perhaps we can offload some of the ocaml-ci-scripts stuff into Travis itself and end up with less maintenance burden.
@cislyn I'm really glad they're taking care of her <3 I hope she helps you recover while you're helping her recover.
