On a #Linux #laptop, is there a way to see #PowerConsumption by process name / by cgroups?
Asking, uh, for a friend
@mcnees They're visually interesting, but I'm not seeing the advantage over a stacked bar chart otherwise.

Anyone with a recommendation for a #fountainpen? I've been considering getting one and just completed my self-imposed two-month test run with a disposable Pilot Varsity with satisfactory results. Here's what I'm looking for:
Something fairly slim, say 11mm barrel or less
Vacuum/plunger fill, piston would be a reasonable alternative
Flexible nib would be a plus
So far I think my best option might be a used Conklin Nozac Vest Pocket or perhaps a Sheaffer Balance Slender. I don't mind a little DIY effort, but if it'd take expensive specialised tools to maintain an old pen, then maybe I'm better off looking at newer models. What #fountainpens can the Fediverse recommend?
Do other people buy albums and listen to them over and over on repeat? I know you might for an album that "really speaks to you" or something, but I'll do this for an album I just like. I have a Pandora account that I never use, but otherwise I only stream #music from, like, #Bandcamp, or sometimes #Soundcloud, when I'm considering buying the album it's on.
@Stressrelated I think you meant to post a link?

Today's my last day at Google 🥲
I'm taking some time off to focus on my family, personal health, and to work on my bots.
If anyone knows of a role that'll fit me, I'll appreciate the intro! 😊
I went ahead and got a #library card.
Although I've checked out books before, it's been a while, and I was a little taken aback by the self-checkout. It felt kinda like that one SNL sketch for the store where you could just walk in, take stuff and go: I was glancing around a bit...tensed up just the slightest amount as I walked through the RF tag sensors at the door...checking to make sure I got the email receipt to confirm it's all good.
Perhaps a reminder of how radical the ethos of a public library is in a world where everything costs money.
@izaya I feel you. only so much time in the day
I've meaning to set up a wireguard VPN to see how good the perf is in practice. If I can stream Nier:Automata over wg and have it playable, I think that'd be an interesting data point
@izaya I guess you use a VPN to connect over the internet? I only ever tried remote play when I was on the same LAN...but I didn't ask too many questions about how it actually worked.
@izaya Sweet. I'd never heard of Sunshine or Moonlight software. I'll have to give em a shot when I delve back into playing video games.

Filled Long Form Journal XLII (28 Dec 2021 to 11 May 2023) and prepared journal XLIII. It took me much longer than my usual 6-8 months to fill this one because I had weeks where I couldn’t write much, if at all.

@izaya how are you streaming it? I'm not familiar with RimWorld: is it point and click? I've tried streaming a couple games running on Proton--one, a 3D MMORPG, and the other, a 3D adventure game--from my desktop to my laptop before with Steam's built-in streaming tools, but I ran into issues with input/peripherals and one weird camera issue that made both games I tried unplayable.
My small city's public #library actually has a nice selection of contemporary SF titles. They have Martha Wells Murderbot Diaries series, Artemis Project by Weir, they even have the manga series BLAME! by Tsutomu Nihei. Besides that, they've got a number of DVD and Blu Ray titles. I just wish they expanded their hours: they're closed in the early mornings and evenings when I'd most like to go to the library

`datetime.utcnow` and `datetime.utcfromtimestamp` will be deprecated in #python 3.12: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103857
If you maintain a package, now is probably a good time to grep your source code for `utcnow` and `utcfromtimestamp` to get out ahead of the deprecation warnings. 📅🕐

I don't recognize that game! Can anyone identify it?

G has thrown himself into making little clay dinosaurs. It’s the most therapeutic thing I’ve seen him do in ages. They’re so cute!

Finally finished after having taken a long break from this book. I really enjoy Carroll's podcast and liked most of the book. I definitely perceive the lack of understanding that comes from not working with the equations more closely: the last couple of chapters didn't do much for me.

Less birdy today in the Ramble but still pretty decent (38 species). I caught up with the Brewster's Warbler again at the end of the day and had a nice view of it chwing down on tint caterpillars, but I dipped on all my other targets that other people had reported--Wilson's, Blue-winged, and Worm-eating Warblers, Indigo Bunting, and in particular the Summer Tanager which was again seen all over the Ramble all day, just not by me.
