Doing stationary flight with helicopters is an incredibly energy-consuming phase of flight, burning hundreds of liters of kerosene and emitting huge amounts of CO2, for maintenance operations that require time.
But for a lot of tasks in the Alps, it doesn't have to be this way.
🇫🇷 Grenoble-based aerOnde offers a much quieter and efficient solution for these missions. The donut-shaped helium-filled balloon has smaller wind exposure than competing solutions.
API documentation of #Gradle 9.2.0, the most recent release of the well-known build tool, is now available on APIdia. The gradle-api-tooling artifact offers programmatic access to Gradle and APIdia is the best place for browsing its rich API conveniently:

Still need to fix fonts and typography. That's a project for tomorrow tho
dear fedi folk,
please share with me your favourite vegetarian/vegan slow cooker recipes. ideally that don't rely on tomatoes, aubergines, gluten, mushrooms, or corn, but i can always substitute if necessary.
thank you! 🔥 (slowly)
Web Developers & Designers
This is your friendly reminder that low vision users exist. We need font sizes that are dramatically larger than yours.
Many of us use the “minimum font size" NOT zoom, because we need bigger text, not bigger images.
I'm on the very low end of low vision needs, but my 20pt minimum font size breaks SO MANY web sites.
This pic shows how big fonts are on my screen (thumb & ruler for context).

There was a cow in our top field.
🐮
Just one, afaict, judging by the hoof prints and the cow pats. It seems to have wandered in from the road, visited the wood shed, wandered about at bit, and then gone again. No obvious tracks of anyone rounding it up.
No idea whose cow it was. None of our neighbours have cows in their nearby fields at the moment.
Probably just another pilgrim on the Cowmino de Santiago.
I started a project last week to make a self-hostable software to upload temporary files. unlike the existing projects, the idea is to have a better privacy and security, while keeping the interface simple. One can upload a file using #Curl and upon uploading, a short download URL is generated. The user can define how long the file should live on the server, and after this time it will be wiped cleanly and securely.
I'm very open to collaboration:
The question is, why would you even fall in love with a technology so dropping it becomes painful?
we are so tiny. we are smaller than negligible, less than a rounding error, but we create music and art and imagine new worlds and fall deeply in love and tell jokes and know hope. and dogs love us.
