I’m embarrassed to say that I have three Raspberry Pi Zero Ws sitting around idle, with no idea what to use them for. A fourth is powering a status display for my server farm, but the others just hang out installing the occasional software update.

@mcmoots buying those houses is on my list of things to do when I’m stupid rich. Put them in a trust so they’re maintained and can never be demolished for condos.

@mcmoots I didn’t know there was a fire pole.

"I trust this site's admins' blocking decisions, and they pay more attention to it than I can, so let me mirror them" kinda thing.

A thing I'd like... for instances to be able to export, via api, their block lists. domain level, at least, maybe a separate call to get user blocks too. And then to be able to subscribe another instance to one or more others' blocklists.

(the code still compiles and the tests still pass tho)

TFW you open up a project you haven't worked on for a while and see hard-coded time values in the tests... from 13 years ago.

Yup, been writing too much perl lately. Just found myself typing `my @entries` in ruby...

Damnit, I'm getting things all out of order. I did anger, bargaining, and depression already, but _now_ I'm doing denial? C'mon, brain, get it together.

"That was hurtful, Mord. Accurate, but hurtful."

Oh, except a gem can't depend on a git version of a gem, so I can't use fog-backblaze until they release a new version. Direct to the API it is.

Nobody has created an activestorage-backblaze module as far as I can find. I stubbed one out a couple months ago, then got pulled away and haven't touched it since. I could go ahead and implement it using fog, as some other AS modules have done, or I could talk to the api directly. Not sure which is better. Maybe fog first to get it done, then refactor later? Except I know it'll be forever until I do...

I had forked fog-backblaze to fix some bugs, then had to wander away from it for a while. The bugs have since been fixed in master, but no new release. On the other hand, I'm looking to move from carrierwave to activestorage, so maybe I don't care? except...
