stigok··on Maybe the default settings are too high
I think of this when I brush my teeth and realize I'm trying to be fast. I am tense and rapid, just rushing ahead to nowhere. I'm not really in a hurry.

It is also possible to walk at incredible low speeds. Some times, I try to force myself to walk as slowly as I dear. It is hard to walk slow in a city full of people. It feels silly. However, it feels great once you've actually slowed down.

stigok··on Underdetermined Weaving with Machines (2021) [video]
Worth a watch. She has built a home-made loom with automation using Arduino and 3D-printer parts. It is pretty brilliant!

Excerpt from the video description:

> A computer-controlled handloom is a hybrid fabrication tool: while the loom greatly speeds the process of weaving by precisely selecting threads for a pattern, a human weaver is present and involved for the entire process. Like any computational tool, such a loom can embody both expert precision and fluidly emergent outcomes; “the trick” is in crafting generative logics that mediate the material constraints of the weaving process to support technically elaborate outcomes, spur creativity, or generate delight. Lea will discuss historical and contemporary tactics for algorithmic and improvisational handweaving, including her own work on personal interactive jacquard weaving systems.

stigok··on CSSnano
This would work nicely with static HTML, indeed. But once you have some JavaScript i.e. dynamic HTML, it won't work reliably anymore. Worse, it might even give you a list of manually curated CSS properties to "allow list".
stigok··on Private Terraform module registry backed by GitHub releases
We built a private Terraform registry that is using GitHub for module source and version discovery.
stigok··on The PostgreSQL documentation and the limitations of community
I find the PostgreSQL documentation to be a seriously good read. Something I'd print and take on the holiday with me.
