International Humanitarian Law which defines war crimes and such.

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1

As it turns out most people who cry about war crimes on the internet don’t know the first thing about them.

I am seriously learning how to plumb gas lines to save like $600. So if you don't hear from me, it will be because I killed myself and probably injured several neighbors.

I taught myself plumbing once so I could still fuck up and cause $2k in direct damage, plus grow who knows how much mold in the ceiling.

Water heater repair?

Just make sure the gas if off before you touch it, and maybe don't light a match right away.

Rain World Modding

I already know C# so I thought it wouldn't be that difficult, but I was very wrong. Rain World is a game made with Unity, but the only part they use Unity for is rendering. And the game also doesn't ship with debug symbols. Doesn't help that the modding wiki is outdated at places and incomplete. Took a lot of guess work and looking at other mods to figure out what to do, but I got there at the end and learned a lot.

The flu. The flu has been my rabbit hole for the week 😭

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Wait until you see the pounds just melt away on the flu diet. /s

Ham radio. Still at the discovery stage of whats what, thinking about what I want to get into, which means lots of fun learning about everything, as usual in a totally random manor. Trying to avoid getting sidetracked by the VHF/UHF stuff as it would just rapidly spiral out of control.

Just need to knuckle down and study for the foundation exam so I can actually get started transmitting. I think I have the QRP setup I want more or less nailed down that would tide me over till I can move up to intermediate later on. Would give me a nice QRP setup for travel and allow me to treat myself for passing my intermediate with a proper shack radio with a bit more power.

I'm more interested in its lesser known cousin, Rum Ham Radio.

I've been trying to figure out a way to get my two LUKS encrypted drives to unlock by using a yubikey on boot.

I’m also realising this rabbit hole with every second I spend on Lemmy. Hell I was reading up on arch at 2 am last night when I couldn’t get to sleep….

I wrote an Excel macro in VBA that opens a file select window, imports the selected files as new worksheets, copies the data from each worksheet recursively into a master table, prompts the user to delete the imported tables, then prompts the user to save the workbook as a new file.

Excel does have functions that achieve basically the same thing, but it was being too finicky with how it wanted the source tables formatted.

I barely know VBA and idek wtf a Boolean variable is, but I fucking did it and it's going to make mine and my team's life so much easier at work. That was my whole Friday lmao

I frequently have to dump a bunch of data from our accounting system, and the process afterward involves a ton of manual cutting and pasting. When I have to do it 70 times, it's physically and mentally exhausting. I'm not the only one who has complained about this process, and nobody has done anything to make it better. So I'm fixing that shit. I'm not a programmer. I'm an accountant. But I'm also so lazy that I'll to learn how to program a little to save myself a lot of work over the long run.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Programming is a tool, you don’t have to be a knife enthusiast to want get the correct knife

Awesome, if you have any questions, shoot. Started down that rabbit hole 20 years and never really came up for air :)

Actually it just leads to many more data type manipulation, SQL, VBA connecting to the other Microsoft app, etc. never regretted it aside from the 3am sessions trying to figure out one more thing, which leads to one more thing... But then that is the rabbit hole piece.

Btwa boolean is just data stored in a single bit, either a 1 or a 0 on the backend, but usually presented as something more obvious to the user like yes/no, true/false, on/off etc

Just to give you another rabbit hole, you can also manipulate pretty much any data source, including Excel using powershell. I regularly use powershell scripts to mass import data that the script processes into an Excel workbook that the powershell formats. I find powershell to be faster doing this (if you use .net framework/LINQ, powershell sucks at large scale data object processing natively), especially if it's large amounts of data, I typically process combined logs of over a million rows.

One of my 2025 goals is to learn to draw well, and I've been making slow, steady progress at that. My goals are 2-fold - make quality drawings of furniture for my other new hobby, woodworking - and draw cursed shit that is disturbing to friends and family alike. Here's a texture study I did yesterday in about an hour. All Your Soul are Belong to Us

Well, I crocheted a beret today and started a trihexaflexagon for my wife's birthday the other day. So I suppose it's crochet this week.

The creativity and inquisitive curiousity in this thread is honestly inspiring and heartwarming.

My week was spent in object oriented code and log burning stove installation. The cherry on the top was putting my knee through the glass so last night was devoted to thinking about how it can be repaired without spending more money.

Motorcycle gear. I now know I can buy armoured(!!) leggings that go under my jeans, and an armoured(!!) leather jacket that looks kickass over a hoodie.

I bought a new domain name for my indie web presence, so that I can keep my boring professional stuff separate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have 3 domains... I need help

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a totally reasonable number!

Also, just an FYI you can use nginx as to serve multiple domains/websites from a single server on the cheap. ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I know how to manage a server thankfully lol. I am planning to split the 3 domains for different purposes since as of now I only use them for my email.

[–] TehBamski 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh nice. What kind of 'indie stuff' are you making?

I did see that you're into writing. That's cool. I've been trying to stick with it. I have a decent amount of ideas for stories but not enough typed out. =/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?

So far, it's just my morning pages. I figure if I share my most raw and unfinished stuff, then it will be mentally easier to share the stuff I actually put polish into.

I have this server running an Quartz frontend, that I can just push markdown files to. But yeah, that'll probably move to a subdomain, and the main site will be wacky neocities type stuff, idk. Something rough and fun, though.

War thunder and some weird electrical issue in the house connected to the servers

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Drove through Weldon, NC —> list of famous people —> Garland H. White —> 28th infantry of the USCT (US Colored Troops) —> Buffalo Soilders —> Brigadier General Charles Young Tree (NPS) —> Brigadier General Charles H. Young

So I took myself on a Black History Month tour while riding to daughters gymnastics competition.

Voice cloning with python. My end goal, which of course I will never finish, is to create a little server or box that you can ask questions or send text to that will sound like me. My dad died over ten years ago and I would love to hear his voice again. I plan to make something so my kids can hear me again after I’m gone.
