Quiet Sunday, working on my #FoodWiki by making an index of the latest Cook’s Illustrated.
This gets me researching, like learning about black vinegar, this is Heng Shun Zhenjiang-style from my pantry.
Went to Kouign Cafe @kouigncafeyvr today.
This is the Purple Rain brown butter bread pudding with ube, and Midnight Sky black sesame baguette in the background.
This is a cool cafe with unique hot/cold drinks & eats at the slumbering edge of Vancouver’s Chinatown.
The widget on my phone surfaces past photos. This is from a meal March 1st, 2020, in #Tofino at a Japanese restaurant called Kuma that sadly is no more.
Last trip that Rachael and I took right before the pandemic shutdown.
Kyle Mitchell, open source licensing expert, is hosting office hours:
“…anyone can call in and ask questions, including legal questions in my field. Think legal clinic, but completely public”
The Internet Transition, @robinberjon:
“we’re trying to run a planetary society that needs to solarpunk the fuck out of itself in a hurry on the collective intelligence of an 18th century principality that’s heard of the Enlightenment from some guy at the pub.”
I’m really happy with how tonight’s dinner turned out: my own Lingcod in Coconut Broth with Flat Noodles.
Lime leaves for that classic Thai tanginess made the broth #FoodWiki
2023 is #AppleHeadset release year!
I wrote some notes on recent rumours
What I think is correct:
- hand tracking as interface
- headset as second monitor.
- collaboration with #XR FaceTime calls
Brad is writing 10,000 Food Words:
“a daily shot of 100 food words for 100 days. Like a shot of verbal espresso, or maybe shochu, depending on the time of day.”
Subscribed!
The coffee at my local cafe Timbertrain is always good, but today I took a sip of my cappuccino… & it was just great! Their “regular” Caliber espresso.
I haven’t tried their “Sweet Thing” holiday blend, but the packaging is cute!
I made pho for lunch today with a packaged spice paste. With fresh Thai basil, some steak, and… green beans 🤷♂️
Full details on the #FoodWiki
Spent the afternoon wandering Main Street. Had lunch at Coco et Olive, of which the most amazing part was this slice of chocolate cake.

Coolest part of #Tweetback is that you can register your self hosted archive location with Tweetback Canonical https://github.com/tweetback/tweetback-canonical
This means all the archives will actually link to each other over time.
Ran #Tweetback locally and it generates a bunch of stats.
Am I … a reply guy????
I got my #TwitterArchive poured into #Tweetback today, a self hosted solution built on @eleventy by @zachleat

Happy New Year from UTC-8!
It's past 1am here in #Vancouver, because I decided to sit down and flip the switch for my main site to now be powered by #LogSeq
Published to #IPFS and served up via the @fission gateway
2750 "pages" from ~20 years of blogging, links, tags, and notes.
Round two of #ChefsPlate trial. Here’s the Caribbean-style Beef & Veggie Rice Bowl.
I’m picking up a few useful tricks for quick meals. I’m going to investigate some standard spice blends to have on hand, and quick aioli from mayo, minced garlic & a little water
You can find a list of 382 public #LogSeq graphs by looking at GitHub repos that depend on the logseq-publish GitHub Action

Just found #Plume, an #ActivityPub server focused on blogging length content. Written in #RustLang https://joinplu.me/
It’s listed as not actively maintained, and the devs point at #WriteFreely https://writefreely.org
Might be interesting for some Rustaceans to tinker with.
The #DigitalOcean setup, with options for S3 compatible storage and managed Postgres, makes the best of the #Mastodon codebase architecture as it is today https://www.digitalocean.com/blog/digitalocean-spaces-mastodon-hachyderm/
But one can architect #ActivityPub servers differently.
As @fm2279 points out, don’t containers solve this???
No! In fact, that’s #opensource projects architecting for last gen approaches.
Design for cloud scaling is different than manage this one Linux box, which effectively what containers give you
I just realized that for #Mastodon and #ActivityPub broadly, we’re at a similar point as when I started working on #Drupal.
One of our early contributions was improving virtual hosting, so one codebase could support multiple domains and sites.
If lots more organizations are going to run their own Mastodon instances, similar architectural changes will help.
A sign at #KillarneyLake #BowenIsland by the gravel beach:
“Killarney Lake is not recommended for swimming or wading. The lake is very shallow and is home to healthy populations of leeches.*
*Leeches are part of the lake's natural ecosystem and provide food to fish and other creatures. While they can attach to people, they are not harmful.”
We kept walking around #KillarneyLake until we got to the little gravel “beach” area. Not much of a beach left, everything swallowed by the stream and high water.
Rachael taking some photos of ice and mist on the lake.
