Whelp, I guess I know there’s an alien now…

I used to play laser tag weekly in high school and ... I'm trying to disagree with this but I can't. I just can't.

My true secret weapon ... Zoom background compositing :D

My shame is I know enough ffmpeg magic to trim a video quickly, but not the magic to convert it to a GIF at the same time. But I did remove the audio for that ~gif experience~

And yes, I know this is not technically a gif but whatever

Walkable City - the Urban Planning Boardgame Asymmetric Cooperative boardgame about building a city without cars.

Walkable City is FUNDED everyone! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

But we have some really sweet stretch goals that I'd love to get to! Take a look if making a more walkable, livable city sounds appealing to you and maybe tag your favorite urbanist too! 😉

It’s true. See you in 4-6 months :)

A screenshot of a post from NextDoor. The post's author's name has been censored out. The poster is from Forest Drive and next to "Forest Drive" the following text has been added "(💰Area Median Household Income: $198,150)." The text of the post is: More bad policy coming out of the capital from the democrats. The politicians that vote for the income tax should be expelled and charged with failing to uphold the Washington State Constitution. I hope the GOP is preparing a law suit to be filed asap to stop this illegal legislation.

Weekend project idea for anyone: a browser plugin that uses census data to put the Area Median Household Income next to people's posts.

A screenshot of health test results. COVID-19, Flu A, Flu B, and RSV were all tested for. All tests are negative.

I've been sick the last few days and it turns out you can still get the regular cold in 2026.

A clip from instructions on how to read the results of the COVID + Flu test. There is a heading showing "Step 7: Read your results" the instructions are "The reader lights will display your result." Below that are 5 possible results: - Green light indicates negative - Red light indicates COVID positive - Blu light indicates Flu A positive - Yellow light indicates Flu B positive - Purple light indicates an invalid result

I was looking at the instructions for the new Aptitude Covid + Flu test. I'm no UX designer, but why wouldn't you make Flu B positive a blue light!? BLUE FOR B IT'S SO SIMPLE

GitHub - LtHummus/auththingie2: A (NEW!) small, simple authentication layer for home-hosted reverse proxies A (NEW!) small, simple authentication layer for home-hosted reverse proxies - LtHummus/auththingie2

What's the hot way to write and host documentation for open source projects? A project I maintain (github.com/LtHummus/aut...) has grown a bit too large to be completely documented by a README file. Are GitHub wikis still good for this or is there something better?

A screenshot of the Google results for the query "sunrise" The AI overview reads as: Sunrise is the moment the Sun's upper edge appears on the horizon in the morning. The exact time depends on your location and the time of year. For Port Angeles, WA, the sunrise time for today, Sunday, December 21, 2025, is 3:59:33 pm due to the date being the winter solstice. Right below the AI summary is the correct answer: 8:01 AM

Very cool Google. Very nicely done.

Random hypothesis I just had … the folks most likely to turn of AI features in products are also likely the kind of people to turn off product analytics collection, hiding how many people actually turn off AI features.

Of all the new ones, I really enjoyed using F# and I might look for an excuse to use it again....

And that's it for Advent of Code for me. I liked the new length and I thought the difficult level was good. Thanks to @was.tl for putting it together.

This year, I did each day in a new language. I liked this new challenge and I might do it again next year? List of languages in the thread below...

I did a PC build about a year ago (November 2024) and I paid $97 for 32 GB of RAM.

I looked at that same RAM kit in the same online store today.
