I write code and play games and stuff. My old username from reddit and HN was already taken and I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to be called so I just picked some random characters like this:

>>> import random
>>> ''.join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") for x in range(5)])
'e0qdk'

My avatar is a quick doodle made in KolourPaint. I might replace it later. Maybe.

    What I’d do is set up a simple website that uses a little JavaScript to rewrite the date and time into the page and periodically refresh an image under/next to it. Size the image to fit the remaining free space of however you set up the iPad, and then you can stick anything you want there (pictures/reminder text/whatever) with your favorite image editor. Upload a new image to the server when you want to change the note. The idea with an image is that it’s just really easy to do and keeps the amount of effort to redo layout to a minimum – just drag stuff around in your image editor and you’ll know it’ll all fit as expected as long as you don’t change the resolution (instead of needing to muck around with CSS and maybe breaking something if you can’t see the device to check that it displays correctly).

    There’s a couple issues to watch out for – e.g. what happens if the internet connection/server goes down, screen burn-in, keeping the browser from being closed/switched to another page, keeping it powered, etc. that might or might not matter depending on your particular circumstances. If you need to fix all that for your circumstances, it might be more trouble than just buying something purpose built… but getting a first pass DIY version working is trivial if you’re comfortable hosting a website.

    Edit: If some sample code that you can use as a starting point would be helpful, let me know.

    Any ways to get around the download failing

    I did this incredibly stupid procedure with Firefox yesterday as a workaround for a failing Google Takeout download:

    • backup the .part file from the failed download
    • restart the download (careful – if you didn’t move/back it up, it will be deleted and you will have to download the whole thing again; found this out the hard way on a 50GB+ file… that failed again)
    • immediately pause the new download after it starts writing to disk
    • replace the new .part file with the old .part file from earlier (or – see [1] below)
    • Firefox might not show progress for a long time, but will eventually continue the download (I saw it reading the file back from disk with iotop so I just let it run)
    • sanity check that you actually got the whole thing and that it is usable (in my case, I knew a hash for the file)

    [1] You can actually replace the new .part file with anything that has the same size in bytes as the old file – I replaced it with a file full of zeros and manually merged the end onto the original .part file with a tiny custom python script since I had already moved the incomplete file to other media before realizing I could try this. (In my case, the incomplete file would still have been useful even with the last ~1MB cut off.)

    There are probably better options in most cases – like Thunderbird for mailbox as other people suggested, or rclone for getting stuff from Drive – but if you need to get Takeout to work and the download keeps failing this may be another option to try.

    This is a composite I stitched together from 12 screenshots taken from episode 5 of Penguindrum. I pretty much completely rewrote the tool I used for my last composite to make this. My old program could only handle solving two images; the new version solves a graph of correspondences one pair at a time to attach as many images as it can to a pinned starting image. I spent all weekend writing this specific editor, and much of my free time over the last couple weeks has gone into my broader art tool project.

    I haven’t done much in the way of artistically changing the piece. Other than the final cropping (which I did in the GIMP), it’s as true to the imagery from episode 5 as I could get it. Notably though, the lower portion of the image and the upper portion of the image (with the reapers) are not from one continuous shot in the episode; part of my motivation for stitching this was that I wanted to see how it all looked when put together. I was surprised to find that the top portion with the reapers was actually scaled differently than the lower portion. I’ve cropped it for the main post, but if you’d like to see what it looks like without the final crop, you can see that image here.

    The “lovers” are clearly a parody of The Kiss by Klimt – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kiss_(Klimt) – but I have no idea what the heck is going on with the cherubs in the middle…

    This silly Pokemon/Nisemonogatari crossover idea popped into my head last night and I felt compelled to edit it together out of five screenshots. (Yes, five.) I was on the fence about marking this as OC; there’s some non-trivial image editing involved with the two Shinobu screenshots, and I made the comic, but I’m not really sure on what should or shouldn’t be marked OC. Let me know what you think.

    A vote on kbin/lemmy is closer to a retweet than to a vote on reddit in terms of its potential impact on folks. You are publicly saying you support/do not support a post by voting on it (which might be taken as publicly thanking someone with an upvote or publicly saying fuck you with a downvote in some contexts); that can be a workable system, but it’s surprising if you’re coming from reddit where basically no one but the admins (and whoever they told/sold the data to) actually knows what you voted up/down.

    Hell, consider all the drama around “YOU DOWNVOTED ME!!” / “No I didn’t!” BS that was so common even when it was just suspected – now it can be confirmed (again, for better or worse), for kbin users. I was on reddit for a long time and just thinking about that crap makes me feel tired… -.- Downvoting on kbin is potentially picking a fight every time. The end result is that I’ve basically never downvoted anything except some spam bots. I don’t need that shit in my life again – even for some of the posts that I think really should be downvoted, I’m just ignoring now. (Not getting into it further. Don’t ask. I won’t respond.)

    If your IRL identity is associated with your account (or can be figured out eventually…), upvoting something really spicy could also end up causing you the same kind of drama IRL as retweeting or commenting strongly on the post – e.g. job loss, loss of business, targeted harassment/violence campaigns, loss of friends/romantic partners, etc…

    I really don’t need more drama in my life, so I’m a bit more mindful of how I’m voting (for better or worse) and some stuff I probably would’ve voted on before, I am just leaving alone now.

    Yeah, I had a mixed reaction to finding that out a while ago, but I’m kind of just rolling with it for now. Votes are just simply NOT private on here, for better or worse. My feeling right now is that it’s sort of positive from a community feel perspective, but I’m also avoiding interacting with a lot of subjects I consider more controversial.

    Probably we’ll end up developing a culture of either lots of alts used simultaneously, short lived accounts with regular name changes, or both as people become more aware of this. Either that or people will just say “Fuck it. You really want to see all the weird porn I like and my political preferences and what not? Don’t blame me if you regret looking!” :p

    I tried to make a transcription of the text. I don’t have enough time right now to attempt a full manual translation as well though. (Japanese is hard, and I’m slow – just transcribing the text took me four hours, but it was good practice!) This may be helpful as a starting point if anyone else wants to take a shot at it (or just throw it in Google Translate or whatever).

    Seems to be a 10 year retrospective plus advertisement for a compilation of songs. Characters are labelled with their names and voice actors plus brief descriptions for the main cast.

    My transcription is roughly what’s on the top, then working block by block down the left side of the image, then working block by block down the right side. Apologies if there are any mistakes!

    １０年を振り返って

    宣伝　西山洋介

    前年に「涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱」を作った京都アニメーションさんが、今度はどんなアニメを作るのか楽しみにしていましたが、OPアニメーションを観て「こう来たか！」と心をもっていかれました。　OPが話題になったとがきっかけで人気が加速し、アニメディアさんなどのアニメ誌から尋常じゃない数の版権イラストの発注が来たのを覚えています。 放送が終了したあとも、とんでもない数のキャラクターソングを出したり、日本武道館で単独イベントをやったりといろんなことがあって、この１０年前「らき⭐️すた」関連の仕事が途切れることはありませんでした。こんなに息の長い作品になるなんて、本当に幸せなことです。舞台のモデルとなった鷲宮町（現・久喜市）も、「土師祭」という地元のお祭りで毎年のように「らき⭐️すた」神輿が出てくるなど、ずっと作品を盛り上がってくださっているので、ありがたいかぎりです。

    ここがベストショット！

    ２００７年４〜９月にTVシリーズが放送された本作は、美少女たちの日常会話を中心に描いた、いわゆる「日常系」アニメブームの火付け役となった歴史的作品である。人気の理由は、ゲームやアニメが大好きな主人公・こなたが繰り出す「オタクあるある」な言動が、多数のアニメファンの共感を得たこと。今回のイラストも、せっかくかわいらしい水着姿でビーチにやってきたのに、やっているのは最新ゲーム機で遊ぶこと。当時を知る人ならば「１０年経っても、こなたは相変わらずだな」と思うに違いない。

    また本作は、アニメーション作品の舞台となった場所を実際に訪ね歩くことをアニメファンに浸透させたことでも知られている。かがみ、つかさの実家のモデルである鷲宮神社（埼玉県久喜市）を中心に盛り上がり、今でもコラボレーションしたイベントが頻繁に行われていて、大勢のファンが訪れているのだ。放送からすでに１０年という長い月日が経っているが、こなたたちは、ずっと私たちの「日常」のなかに生き続けているのだ。
