Probably the most useful piece of code I've written to make my life easier is an Enum generator for Ruby.

@mroach Yup, that's basically the point of my original post.
- Mainstream folks had no clue who #AlexHonnold was up until #FreeSolo
- People outside of #paragliding bubble hardly ever heard of #ChriglMaurer
- Unless you're into awesome trail performances, the name #KílianJornet quite likely does not ring a bell
- etc.The assumption that because something is popular (in my bubble) that people will generally know about it, is quite likely not true.

@mroach @MisuseCase @fluffykittycat @eff
The thing is: there _are_ better solutions out there to verify age online without compromising #privacy (and I'm disappointed by the #EFF complaining, but not proposing alternative solutions).
Sometimes #Math can help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Opening up ‘Zero-Knowledge Proof’ technology to promote privacy in age assurance (Google, July 2025):

@mroach @kalleboo I managed to bring up a Microsoft Mail 3.0 server in the Digitopolis zone. The server is a faceless background extension; all configuration happens in the client by logging into the magic "Network Manager" account with a magic default password (which I changed, obviously.) When new mail comes in, you get a big notification alert.

I found documentation for AppleTalk on Windows 2000 to be a bit scattered and there are some gotchas along the way, so I documented my findings so far.
Once I figure out the guest file access issue on 2000, I'll have found feature parity between it and NT 4.

I finally made my own car livery in Gran Turismo 7. I was plane spotting at Copenhagen airport and the security cars got my wheels turning. :playstation:

Of all the fancy cars available in Gran Turismo 7, I get a kick out of things like driving a delivery van around a race track and doing scenic photoshoots with it. :playstation:

Another day, another 30 year old computer getting in on the IPv6 action. This time it's an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5.
It only took me a few hours to setup a network installation server for the software and remember how to use

I got bored of trying to make AppleTalk sing and dance on Windows NT and 2000 so I switched to an OS with a good native implementation: IRIX. :sgi:

Yak shaving is a hard to avoid.
I'm wanting to get this little Rails app out into the world but of course I'm thinking wait, I'm going to self-host this, so why don't I just self-host Gitea and a container registry?
So, new homelab self-hosting project is getting in the way.

Today I needed to write a passphrase generator and I was looking around for a good word list for this. The EFF publishes a list of words that are a good fit for passphrases for reasons they explain. Very nice!
Dead-simple Ruby code to generate some passphrases that are 3 words long, include a digit, capital letters, and dashes.
words = 3.times.map { word_list.sample.capitalize } ix = rand(words.count) words[ix] = format("%s%i", words[ix], rand(9)) words.join("-") -

I've been messing around with AppleTalk on Windows 2000 via C and C++, two languages I'm just not proficient in and not super enthused about learning. I was considering doing this in Rust, a language I am more enthusiastic about. Just to make sure I wasn't reinventing a wheel, I did a little search for doing cross-platform AppleTalk with Rust and someone published a WIP project *yesterday* that does exactly this!
https://github.com/FeralFirmware/TailTalk
My goal, I think, is to be able to write most of this on Linux and cross-compile for Win32
