FluffyfluffJack invited Token over for some pasta he cooked, one of his specialties. The moment the plate reaches the raccoon, he starts devouring it with complete enthusiasm.
The fluff boy simply watches with an affectionate smile, clearly amused by the chaos.

BTW it is unknonw what is the species of Jack, so let's say he's a fluff.

And guess what? Maybe you didn't expect I say it but... there is a more complete version but it is exclusive for supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi. But you can be part of the club and not only getting full videos but also high resolution of every pictures, you can watch WIPs, also you can have access to my drawings before I post them on my galleries, and waaay more (including being part of a big illustration project I'm doing with all my supporters, you can be part of it!)
This helps me a lot to keep working on art, so I appreciate every support:

Looks like the swiping weirdness I've been seeing occasionally on my Pixel 6a recently is not a new thing:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/171fyzp/pixel_6_swipe_gestures_not_working_properly_after/

Exact same symptoms as described here, but: on Android 16, only started recently, and doesn't tend to happen very often for me. (Still annoying when it does happen of course.)

While trying to debug a new bit of nginx config to connect to a PHP-FPM instance, I looked through my other site config files and found this at the bottom of one. I must have worked this out a year or two ago while debugging all this, and it certainly shows how nonsensical this stuff is. I wonder how it ended up like this.

Posting this in case it's useful to others trying to debug configs intended to interface with PHP-FPM. It is probably accurate for PHP 7.3 or 7.4, not 100% sure which was installed when I wrote it. Might also be accurate for more recent versions, who knows!

# The following parameters are required to get PHP-FPM to execute a
# script: REQUEST_METHOD, SCRIPT_FILENAME and SCRIPT_NAME.

# If REQUEST_METHOD is not present, PHP-FPM will check SCRIPT_FILENAME
# but not do anything more. If REQUEST_METHOD is present and its
# value is HEAD, PHP-FPM will also check SCRIPT_NAME but not run it.
# Otherwise it will check both and run the script.

# SCRIPT_FILENAME must be a pathname that PHP-FPM can stat(). It does
# not need to be a plain file and its permissions and ownership don't
# matter. If relative, it's interpreted relative to FPM's "chdir"
# (which is in turn ends up interpreted relative to FPM "chroot").
# security.limit_extensions is checked against SCRIPT_FILENAME, not
# SCRIPT_NAME. If anything goes wrong at this stage the error message
# logged is "Primary script unknown".

# SCRIPT_NAME is always interpreted relative to PHP's doc_root config
# parameter even if it starts with a "/". PHP-FPM must be able to open
# and read it or it'll log the error message "Unable to open primary
# script: FILENAME (ERROR)" where FILENAME is the value of SCRIPT_FILENAME
# (*not* SCRIPT_NAME, so not necessarily the file it can't open!) and
# ERROR is an error message, e.g. "Permission denied" or "No such file or
# directory". This is the file that is actually interpreted as PHP code.

@Krishean Draconis Yeah, this is just about PHP-FPM and how it interprets FCGI parameters to find a script to run, and should apply regardless of what web server is passing the requests to it. Nginx just happens to be the one I'm using at the moment (but I will probably have to do the same with Apache too at some point so I can offer a choice of either to web hosting customers.) I think most people just use a prepackaged config that comes with their web server so they won't need to know the details, but I'm hacking together configs from scratch and trying to do more "strange" things with it, so knowing exactly what's going on helps!

years ago when i ran windows i had a stripped down/minimal standalone nginx+php server config with all the binaries run through upx that fit in about 36mb of disk space that i used for testing random things locally, but that was so long ago that i don't remember any of what i did lol. i'm pretty sure it was using fastcgi, but i don't know if it was using php-fpm

As Adam Savage once said, it is very difficult to prank someone in a way that isn't mean. If you can do it so that the pranked one end up laughing with you, go ahead. If you can't, just refrain from doing any pranks at all.

@finalstaticfox

I always liked the saying "Pranks are meant to amuse, not to abuse."

Yeah, all pranks can be mean, but there's a difference between having some fun where everyone is ok with it and being cruel to someone who isn't ok with anything going on.

Having a good time is always wonderful, but just know who your audience is and be aware of people who don't want to be a part of it. :blobfoxhappy:

Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world.

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

Whoever thinks it's a good idea getting software developers (or anyone else, really) to feed natural language queries into a non-deterministic model to generate software is quite insane.

The big problem I have with things like Claude Code (aside from the environmental and ethical ones) is that it usually works - which is very terrifying to anyone who is experienced with programming or just cares about correctness. Tech that usually works is tech that occasionally doesn't. If you had a phone that usually worked, you'd throw it out and get one that always works at the earliest available opportunity. LLM-generated code is seductive because it really does work enough to be functional, but secure, maintainable code is in the details. A huge portion of CVEs are from tiny mistakes that escape notice. How many of those tiny mistakes does Claude output? These risks can be mitigated by thorough and careful human review, but the nature of LLMs encourages moving very fast, leaving correctness in the dust. I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of job security for white hat hackers in the coming years.

Anyone know of a good place to get replacement phone batteries? I just discovered my dad's Galaxy A12 and my aunt's Galaxy A03s both have very swollen batteries that need replacing. When my Galaxy S7 (RIP) did the same thing some years ago I got the new battery from ifixit, but they don't seem to have parts for either of today's phones in question.

I see batteries listed on both ebay and Amazon, but with these types of site being free-for-all marketplaces now I have no idea which sellers, if any, can be trusted to supply something that won't self-immolate at the first opportunity. For lead acid batteries I normally use MDS, but I don't think they do phone batteries and I don't know of somewhere similar for phone batteries.

Any ideas?

@leaf @Scatterplot I feel that adoption of generative AI among programmers is higher than among English-speaking public.

At least, I don't see much pushback for my employer's rollout of generative AI.

Tilton Raccoon mastodon (AP)
@kakurady @leaf @Scatterplot It is scary to see how excited about AI a lot of developers at my company are. It’s a huge company, so I guess it’s to be expected there would be a chunk of pro-AI people just by sheer numbers, but it’s disheartening to see how many. The ones who are into it are REALLY into it. I would say yes, software is the only place where AI is actually getting a ton of adoption. I fucking hate it :)

@kakurady @leaf @Scatterplot I really do get the enthusiasm. Everyone who is busy gets to both look and feel like they're getting more done. It must be intoxicating for them. And everyone who is average feels like it's giving them an edge, even though all they've accomplished is to bring up the average with them.

And then there's me, still agonizing over the correctness and maintainability of what I write, being shown the activity feeds of the new average versus what my own activity looks like and being told by my boss, "I know this isn't a criteria we evaluate on at this time, but I want you to look at what upper management / HR sees, versus what your co-workers have started doing."

I've known for a long time that I don't exactly fit the mold of a professional developer in a commercial setting, where *everything* is secondary to "How much money are we gonna make/spend?" and "Is it done yet?", but the world doesn't have much opportunity for "careful and deliberate, low anxiety, but gets paid".

@Bersl @Scatterplot @Kakurady (🔜 NFC, FE) @Leaf Dubois @Tilton Raccoon Christ, this is me. This kind of thing is why I'm basically unemployable, why I've instead been making a pitance working for myself for decades. Thank you.

@leaf @Scatterplot “how come so many coders don't just hate LLMs for stealing their work the way that most writers and photographers and musicians do?”
- a long tradition of sharing code
- programming tools always involved some automation
- labour organization rare, workers tend to think themselves as “‘future founders’”

Despite this, many, perhaps most, programmers will see genAI disrupt their self-esteem, even those who successfully adopt it.

@kakurady @leaf @Scatterplot Yeah. It’s not the technology that bothers me as much as it’s how immoral and unethical it is. By using it, I’m supporting a literal techno-fascist oligarchy that thinks it is above any rules or regulations, no hyperbole. They don’t even try to hide it any more, they just say it right out loud.

Watch out above! It's the act of the twin arctic foxes!

Illustration for the NordicFuzzCon trading card collection #79. Their 2026 was Cirque Du Nord.

On the back of the card, it describes:
The flying trapeze is a common sight in circuses. It takes strength and coordination to perform such daring tricks and you better not be afraid of heights!
With precision and grace, they fly through the air, casually refusing to acknowledge gravity.

For this illustration I had to see and watch an absurd amount of references.

"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."

I thought I was going to have to replace the keyboard on this laptop, which would be a huge pain because apparently the laptop is basically constructed by attaching things to the keyboard (!!!), but I spent a bit of time figuring out (with the help of this actually pretty good video) how to pull the keycaps off without breaking anything, cleaned out the gunk (and it turned out there was a lot of hair and dust), and now I no longer have to type my passwords multiple times before they are accepted! 😁 😁 😁

I'm quite surprised that worked, actually — from the symptoms, I had thought replacement would be the only fix. I've only done a few keys because it's awkward, but I suspect if I do more it might improve things further!
