Instance owners!

Don't forget to add volumes to your instances every now and again.

If by chance, I wouldn't have spoken to @nafnlaus about the disk space an instance uses, I would've been in for a fun December evening when my instance would've ran out of disk.

On DO it's very easy — just

* buy a volume,
* copy your media there,
* chown -R the files just to be sure,
* move old media folder
* symlink new media folder immediately afterwards
* chown -h mastodon:mastodon symlink
* add a notice to check the df -h in half a year :)

No words, just hashtags.

Fifth day of my first #projects log.

Today's goal is to make a multi-agent networked player control in #unity3d.

Sometimes projects we make teach us fundamental things, and sometimes they teach us some gotchas. A gotcha I learned today is that in #unity, you can have a TextMeshPro which is a UI component and one that is a 3D component. There is no way to distinguish between those after you add them to a scene. So you'd better remember or label which one's which.

Some more highlights from today's evening!

Now that there are so many people here, and everyone seem to be reading everyone they follow...

...perhaps now is the time when I'll find more friends to play #MagicTheGathering on #MTGO?..

We're not playing normal cubes, we're playing a cube I made called "Into the Story". Here's the list: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/633f463453859b175ba27b36?view=table&scale=medium

On reselience and fragility.

I've been pondering about the optimised systems (in business, in mechanics, in general, from system theoretic standpoint).

Optimisations require increasing *reliability*, but as you optimise, you -- by definition -- reduce the error margins. The less margins you have the less reselience -- by definition -- you can have.

It may sound obvious, but it has interesting implications.

For example, the system of business (such as a racing league like #WRC or #F1) where businesses compete in optimisations, will transitively be fragile!

For instance, business that runs away with a particularly successful optimisation will then destroy the system together with the competition (like #Toyota did in mdoern rally). A manual intervention will be required.

Not sure if it makes sense to people who aren't into rally, but I think that the three concepts: optimisation, reselience and reliability are very interesting to consider.

If you, like me, want to support the military effort of Ukrainians (because Western decision-makers are slow to produce proper support which can speed up russian capitulation), you have a great chance to do so!

To protect #GrainExport and ensure deoccupation of the Black Sea, #Ukraine is building a fleet of #NavalDrones, under the supervision from the administration of President #Zelenskyy.

It's cool that #projects is trending! Thank you, @simon!

I'll make this a thread about a project I'm contributing to for @pola's https://doma.dev.

It's a system for running test tasks to help hire #unity3d game developers.

We provide a sekeleton of the task and the candidates need to only add small additions to make it into a solution. Then the solutions are pitted against each other to rank them, incidentally ranking the candidates too. Think #ICFPC-lite.

This is the first benchmark AI! Hide your cubes, hide your edges, and hide your vertices too.

#unity

Strongly suggesting to #block https://mastodon.ml. Their admin, @drq, uses slurs to refer to Ukrainians (see pic. 1), hosts putinists and apologists of genocide on his server (see pic. 2).

I think that either of the two things warrants a block.

Submitted without comments.

Did you hear that elon musk is the incarnation of the twitter whale?

Something is brewing in https://doma.dev!

Help Ukrainian mobility during winter time. This fund is due dilled and ran by a well-known activist.

Decided to make this wallpaper to remember my short time in the Uni, which ran Ubuntu in 2008 :)

Love them both. ❤️
I still can't believe that Jessica Walter is gone. Hurwitz is a hero for making season 5 of Arrested Development happen.

Baldinsh is smashing. P2 from P4.
