All I want is a glowing jar of light that I can carry around. Is that too much to ask?

2026-01-10 07:43:13 UTC

Is it reasonable to think I could make an LED lamp inside a porcelain jar, with a proximity sensor to turn it on when the lid is open?
I see adafruit has sensors & LEDs, but I'm not sure how much circuit design would be required (zero experience) or how many lights & how much power I need.
I imagine it only becomes practical as a table lamp if I make it plug-in, but a battery option would be magical. Electronics should be small at the base of the jar.

Please just allow me to find devices on local networks?

it seems to me like what you're pointing to is systems. you can't just change individual behavior to address the issues of capitalism, behavior is downstream of systemic incentives and infrastructure.
it doesn't matter if some people choose to do more, if that choice can't snowball to threaten my basic survival. The problem is not over-achievers making me look bad, but competition being required if I want to eat food or live inside.

It's lovely having both of you around - and so many others in this little niche of ours 💜

I have my personal and mods here - but use browser profiles, and a third-party phone app. It works, but yeah - multiple logins would be a useful feature.

It's actually slightly more difficult on the same server, but i don't mind if you want to.
To do it on one server you need to get yourself an invite link (in your preferences), log out, and set up a new account. Or use browser profiles/different browsers. Or there are third-party tools that might allow logging into multiple at once.
With different servers, there's no conflicting logins issue to deal with.

The oss 'benevolent dictator' model was always a bad one, always built on an imagined 'best way to get things done' which frames collaboration as impossible, and was always a setup for claiming the rich tech guys are the best guys.

People now trust 'information' coming from black box algorithms controlled by just a few companies, as though they have "looked it up" somewhere,
but also we can copy/paste relevant code snippets, with some amount of success! so it's great, actually! ✨
this industry is fucking stressful

Q: How is AI being used in web development?
A: CEO's stole our copyrighted work, and are now using it to threaten our jobs, lay people off, and cut our pay.

There it is, thank you! I can do that.
It's a very long scooter ride from here, but that's why god created friends with podcasts. So I can listen to you and Brian talk about the web, or @npub1t0w…zgs2 get flustered by "Be Gay Do Crimes" 😄 (perfect content, no notes)

I know this is a Bad question that will lead me down the Path of Darkness. But…
Where do you start with mechanical keyboards? What I really mean is: where do you go next after having one for a bit, and thinking "yeah, this but really customized to my needs"? What do you try next? How do you test switches? It seems like the learning curve is steep and involves a lot of exploratory purchasing?

This is a nice little monthly update on the support status of various features, from the Web DX community group. And it has an RSS feed!
🥳 Cascade Layers have been supported on all major browsers for 30 months! (That's the criteria used for 'widely available' in Baseline)

The CSSWG as agreed to publish a first Working Draft for Masonry layout – with the two major proposals merged where possible, and otherwise presented side by side. Most of the differences are syntax only.
Here's the Editor's Draft that will be published:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid-3/
And the discussion:
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8195#issuecomment-2344098078
#css

:has() is at 94.41% of tracked global browser support. That's pretty good. Cascade Layers are at 96.3%.
oklch at 93% (with issues)
color-mix at 91.18%
CSS Nesting at 90% (if you're careful)
@ scope at 84.83% (0% Firefox)
light-dark() at 82.7%
custom property style queries at 73.49% (0% Firefox)
There's no magic number, and a lot we can do with progressive enhancement – but these are some of the recent #CSS features I reach for most often, and wish they would Just Work Already, Please.

I'm trans, and also terrifying. All my friends cower in fear at my obvious and innate power.
