@schmonz I just "discovered" snac on Friday, set up my instance on Saturday and suddenly I'm seeing posts about how everyone is using it. Damned Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
@schmonz um well ok
@schmonz you're the real snac

@schmonz
"Understand only what we are taught?"
No, curiosity can lead us to understand new things without a teacher.

What's Greencently, you very reasonably want to know? https://github.com/schmonz/junit-greencently

Let's see how this setup pans out: https://schmonz.com/2025/04/15/sensible-basic-minecraft-hosting/
Does this inhibit actions we think we don't want taken?
Does it afford actions we think we do?
Will this inhibit or afford an action to change what we inhibit or afford?
How will we find out whether we ought to change what we inhibit or afford?
✨ New blog post: "STF Milestone 3: Release verification and automation"
A major goal of the @sovtechfund is to help projects become more sustainable and decrease their truck factor. For #JUnit, one activity in desperate need of improvement in this area was performing a release. Prior to this milestone, all JUnit releases of the past years had been performed from my local computer. It was high time to change that!

@schmonz my favorite thing about spikes is that planned or not they happen, so save yourself the trouble and plan them in!
@schmonz i prefer continually playing the cure on repeat, sorry ;)
What have I missed?
Also, how often might I need to send other server commands?
@schmonz That's how I would do it (but I would use execline's trap command 😉)
Also, Minecraft is written in Java? Oof, that shows its age.
@schmonz infinisil wrote a pretty incredible automatic config a few years back https://github.com/infinisil/on-demand-minecraft
Maybe that helps. Since it starts the server on demand and serializes & stops it after 15 mins or so.

Suggest "learn how to think critically" comes before "learn how to use an AI advisor".
Today I became a student and I will graduate (which I never did) after one spoken conversation in Swedish and a thesis work with lower academic standards than my publications. I already started the thesis and expect to graduate in June.
I feel so many things about this. Happy that schools know how to score the budget they need, without lowering the bar they have. Awful on switch from uni to vocational. Horrible on customers thinking this matters when I’m part of bids.
@schmonz have two decades on that, and it’s hard to imagine it’s more than a story of versatile paths, and persistence. I always loved a story though. It’s funny how this will make the question of my school background the Finnish IT magazine always tries to capture in article info boxes even harder.

@schmonz I notice an unnecessary indirection
@schmonz It was great to catch up with you on Monday :) Maybe we can meet in person if you’re ever back in Europe.
When I was a consultant, I chose to get rusty with technologies rather than with team skills — and I'd choose the same a million more times.
@schmonz Why are you presenting it as an either/or choice? I work alone most of the time (which means I'm not practicing team skills) and I still manage to get rusty with technologies too!
@schmonz
New account on your own server?
(Before that, I was nervous I wouldn't get it done before the old instance goes offline in a few days: https://octodon.social/@CobaltVelvet/112897672123037837)
@schmonz
Ahh, self hosting: the joy of knowing you can set things up the way you want; the drudgery of knowing you have to set things up the way you want. 🥹
I've moved to @schmonz@schmonz.com. Follow me there if you're not already automatically doing so.
@schmonz@octodon.social. Follow me here if you're not already automatically doing so.We usually assume it also means you know how to do X. Often true, but not always.
But don't sleep on how it also makes you likely more amenable to the next needed refactoring.
