    that’s an interesting read on the story though. writing in a medium in such a way as to pass one message disguised as the opposite isn’t a new concept, one such example being how a ton of popular music here in Brazil bypassed censors during the dictatorship from 1964-'85 to spread messages of resistance against the government.

    edit: missed some of the wording. fixed now.



  • it’s typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that’s not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.

    ¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)








  • have at it!

    taken from Gitlab’s manual page for creating a key, but i wonder what else could be done to expand on it.

    #~/.gitconfig
    [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://gitlab.com/**"]
    path = /path/to/gitlab.gitconfig
    [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:https://github.com/**"]
    path = /path/to/github.gitconfig
    

    #example gitlab gitconfig from the included path
    [user]
    name = Your Name
    email = 0000000-YourName@users.noreply.gitlab.com
    signingkey = 0000999988887777
    
    [commit]
    gpgsign = true
    

    if all works well, Git should be able to automatically use the selected key depending on the repo’s stated remote server.


  • planes uses air pressure from the air below to lift using their wings. merely having the plane tilted to one side makes it so there’s less air pressure holding the extremities of the wings, and less so on the wing whose end has the least altitude. the result is that the tilted plane slowly yaws continuously more to the side it’s tilted to, which causes more roll, causing more changes to the force on the wings, causing more yaw, on a feedback loop that ultimately makes the plane lose altitude.

    combine that with the plane continuously pointing its wings upwards relative to itself, and you get a constant air pressure that is pointing more directly to the bottom of the plane and less efficiently to the rotors and turbines whose job is to propel the plane forwards, which then makes the plane lose speed.
