I took a picture for #bandshirtfriday but forgot to post it. More people should know about Grendel's Syster.

If you enjoy metal of the epic heavy or doom variety, I think there is a chance that you might like it (a lot).

Soundtrack for today's run was Green Day. I think it's time to admit to myself just how much I enjoy this album still.

Did Neurosis just shadow drop their new album or did I miss all news about this?! Also, apparently Aaron Turner is now their new member.

This is wild!

An Undying Love For A Burning World, by Neurosis

What Was Music?

I read this paper the other day titled 'What Was Lo-Fi?' by Adam Harper, whose writing on music I've always found compelling. It is one of those papers where the gist of the argument is easily and immediately graspable, i.e. 'lo-fi' used to mean one thing, but now

I thought Cologne was bad, but hell, the area around the Dortmund main station has some serious drug problem.

That screaming suffering is like some disturbing horror movie.

I got an email telling me that I won't make it in time for the connecting train (due to the delay of the current train). I also got an email where the Deutsche Bahn asks me to tell them whether I would be able to use my reservation for said train (I guess otherwise they can give the seat to somebody else).

I thought that was fucking hilarious.

Jürgen Habermas died at the age of 96. An intellectual giant like no other, really a philosopher worthy to be mentioned in line with the heroes of earlier times.

German philosopher and social critic Jürgen Habermas dies at 96

One the most influential thinkers in post-war Germany, he linked philosophy and political action throughout his life.

New record (and a patch) came in the mail today. Now isn't that a beauty!

I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.

Germany and the US are looking at Gaza, and how

at least 75,000 people have been killed by Israel

at least 170,000 people were wounded by Israel

about 90% of all housing units were damaged or destroyed by Israel

leaving 1.9 million Palestinians without a permanent or safe place

and then they say, no, not a genocide (and ship more weapons to Israel).

When people are so cold—I have no words.
