Okay, I've been trying to collect #tech people to #follow for #FollowFriday. Sorry it is not really exhaustive - probably I left out a lot of good accounts I'm following.

Black Friday? More like super duper colorful Friday! At least in Sandy, Oregon. #photography #pdx

Today’s #FollowFriday is for funny accounts, because I think we can all agree that the Fediverse should be fun.

Oh I guess I should do an #introduction.

I’m Chris a long time Open Source contributor, disabled veteran (pretty sure I am one of the first people to Linux in the USAF), long time multiple web site creator, I ran DevOps’ish, I work on containery bits at AWS (nothing here reflects the views of my employer).

I am here to share information and opinions I find interesting and have conversations with y’all!

Technology exists to improve human existence.

Happy Tooting!

The "WORLD of QUANTUM" will meet next year in Madrid (May 23-25) ! Exceptional list of speakers announced! the place for Frontier Science, Technology & Industries to meet- https://quantumconf.eu/2023/

Today I will give a workshop on #livecoding using #FoxDot. I'm very excited but also very nervous. Huge thanks to @yaxu for inspiration and guidance, and also to the friendly folks in the #FoxDot Telegram group. Wish me luck!

I’m puzzled:

Is a programming language a language? 🧐

Please also indicate whether you consider yourself a linguist.

Grateful for boosts to increase reach 🙏

@logicalelegance A very interesting approach -- I will try that. I worked on coiled shells a few years back, using cones. My notes are not good -- this one is called Excursus zayin or sometimes Raup's model 2a. #origami #CurvedSurface #developable

The hard part about software development is not designing a perfect architecture, but making a good enough one, having tough time-constraints.

Happy #FibonacciDay to those who celebrate! 🐚✨

We love finding the #Fibonacci sequence in nature and in #maker projects — like @jasoncoon's #electronic #art! 🤩

Where else have you seen cool examples of Fibonacci in action? 👩‍🔬🔎🍥

cozy in a mac rom scarf. specifically this is a slice of the ROM from a Macintosh IIsi. here's how it was made. i used @th 's script https://github.com/osresearch/prom/blob/master/hex2png and the mac roms on archive dot org https://archive.org/details/mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011

if you have ImageMagick already installed:

$ perl hex2png.pl -y 1280 -w 32 mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011/36B7FB6C\ -\ Mac\ IIsi.ROM \ | convert - maciisi.png

Then a slice four columns wide was taken of the resulting image and knit into a scarf. The scarf is 1280 pixels/knit stitches long and therefore wraps natively in the columns of the scarf. if you want to make your own, you'll need a hacked consumer knitting machine or an industrial knitting machine or someone with a setup to machine knit it for you.

Here is how I set up my single-user self-hosted Mastodon instance. It was easy if you're a bit familiar with Linux and domain names. No need to be an expert.
