somewhat belated because we’ve been really busy again but! we have a docs page up and running, we have the email situation hopefully sorted out, and stuff is flowing again generally. things are going pretty good right now on the backend for Beehaw, i’d say, and hopefully that continues as the week progresses.

when things chill out i’m hoping to get back to finishing a few books which i was reading in May–this has been a full time gig basically, so i haven’t had any real downtime. i only just got in some Stardew Valley last night.

    Our rent skyrocketed so we’ve been looking to move, and after a hectic week of making appointments, going to showings, and all that unpleasantness, we found a great new place today! We really lucked out in a lot of ways to get this place. The icing on the cake is that it’s about two blocks away from my work. I also made quite a bit of progress on one of my side projects earlier in the week. So in all, a busy week but a good one :)

    just finishing up studying for my final exam on monday, been having particular trouble with this one- something about calculus is just reeaaaaally boring for me, it’s been a struggle to stay focused.

    Not going well but I am not without hope either.

    My mom didn’t get approved for social assistance so I’m crunching numbers on our budget for the next month or so.

    Brought out the instant pot and made some nice black beans, which I turned into black bean burgers. 😋

    Switched from Pop OS to Linux Mint, liking the experience so far. Not as cute as Pop OS was, but I like the interface and the battery alerts and sound effects. So it’s not bad.

    I haven’t been sleeping well lately, so my productivity has taken a hit. I tend to go through waves of insomnia somewhat regularly. Otherwise, my week has been good.

    Pretty good! Started off with a morning at playcentre, afternoon doing a shift at the toy library, and finished off by giving a presentation at the community council meeting. Got my community garden proposal through to the next phase (regional council). Got overwhelming support from my presentation at the community council meeting and feeling really good about it. First structural edit meeting for the book I’ve been working on is Thursday and I’m really happy with how that’s all going too. Early stages of getting a library of tools/community workspace organised.

    Just in a really good place right now and I feel like I’m actually getting somewhere with my goals.

      Thank you for your work in advocating for public services. Libraries of things are so useful for the local community.

    I celebrated Juneteenth with a friend by going to the city, visiting a cool history exhibit, getting sandwiches and boba, and walking 11k steps!

    Also played in a DnD session and GMed for another one, which was fun.

    It’s going alright! Just been relaxing since I graduated and will start my full-time gig next month, pretty excited about that. I’m also just curating my RSS feed cause I didn’t realize how much I would love them so much lol. Loving Beehaw, lemmy and the lemmyverse in general!

      Congrats on graduating and landing a full-time job! 🎉

      As an RSS-enjoyer perhaps you can help me. I want to get better about using RSS to stay connected and updated with the world. Right now I’m using Feeder for Android and I’ve got some feeds from a couple news publications, some Rust dev feeds, and some of my favorite podcasts, but I find that I get little value out of this. Do you have any recommendations on how to squeeze the most out of RSS? How do you decide what’s worthwhile to subscribe to?

        Thank you so much! Well I am also figuring that out myself. For me I think the best thing that would bring the most value is to subscribe to those feeds who you’re genuinely interested in like for me I love to keep up on AI/ML research so I have a lot of AI/ML blogs in my RSS feed including the latest news as well. I have also added the Hacker News Daily Digest as well. Link to where I got that one

        I think it takes a while to get used to it like I understand where you’re coming from when you said that you get little value out of it. I think it is the matter of who you like to read up on and is in your interests too. If you’re interested in AI/ML, Science and Tech here’s the github link to that optml and you can use Feedly to import that file if you’re interested or just choose the ones you really want to read which is fine too! Github link to those RSS feeds

        Edit: I just found out that you can convert your favorite community on Lemmy into an RSS link, just link on the RSS logo right beside the the question mark inside the circle.
