Back in my early 20s (a decade ago) I had a ton of energy for this kind of configuration. I remember my mentor at the time telling me he hadn’t touched his dotfiles in years and that learning the defaults had really helped him.

At the time I couldn’t remotely understand his position.

Now I do!

i got sick of political spam; my phone now auto-texts STOP to unknown numbers

iOS automations are super neat, but I do wish there was a real solution to this

(a few more details over here: https://eieio.games/essays/autorespond-stop-to-unknown-numbers/)

the iOS message interface is visible. two text messages arrive on the phone. One is political spam, the other says "really nice meeting you - here's my #." When each text arrives, an iOS automation runs and the phone auto-responds with "STOP"

I made a game. It's called PacCam. It's Pacman but you control it with your face - look to turn, chomp your mouth to move.

You look very very silly while you play :)

You can play it here: https://eieio.games/paccam/

that's it! have fun!!

gameplay from paccam: a version of pacman controlled with your mouth.

a game of pacman is overlaid on top of a webcam feed. Two players turn their faces and open and close their mouths to control their pacman avatars, which have small video feeds of their faces embedded inside.

Got DOOM running in the IOS photos app. Kind of.

A very silly collab with the very smart Adnan Aga :)

Lots of details on the shortcut trickery (and other dumb hacks) over on my blog: https://eieio.games/nonsense/game-15-d oom-ios-photos-app/

I'm releasing all the data from one million checkboxes, scripts for generating timelapses from that data, and open sourcing the code.

Hope you enjoy. I've had a ton of fun but I'm pretty happy to be done :)

Code: https://github.com/nolenroyalty/one-mi llion-checkboxes
Scripts: https://github.com/nolenroyalty/one-mi llion-checkboxes-data-scripts
Data: https://archive.org/details/one-millio n-checkboxes-data

And here's one of my fave timelapses to close things out!

At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

Here's my favorite story from running OMCB :)

@b0rk PATH referencing paths mounted via NFS, making tab-complete freeze the terminal / be super slow if you're having NFS issues, hung mounts, etc.

(solution was to have a local directory in PATH with symlinks that referenced binaries that were deployed to NFS)

@b0rk thinking about it more, I guess my `kill` confusion is basically the same as the "programs not responding to ctrl c" that you mentioned. both are just sending a signal that I used to assume was "close the program" but it's a little more complicated than that.

I'd never considered that before though!

@b0rk I used to get really confused by programs not exiting when i ran `kill $pid` (not knowing about kill -9 / not realizing that kill is "send a signal" more than "stop this thing", etc)

My server was pegged at the bandwidth cap I set for much of the first night (before it crashed) - I think this was probably malicious, based on the timing?

(thanks to my friend Greg Technology for getting me to think about bandwidth early)
