You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

  • Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
  • C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
  • Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

As someone who runs my own blog, email, social media, backup system, home automation, business site, etc...

I feel like self-hosting digital services is a lot like backyard chickens. Rewarding, lots of control, independence from Big Egg, and a great reminder of why distribution of labor and efficiencies of scale are so important.

really, really impressed with posty: a mastodon archive -> html static site generator

it ingests your mastodon archive (post history) as a zip, and barfs out an entire static html site with indices and tags. all servable with any standard web server.

this is super helpful because when i shut down the dialup.cafe instance, there was no easy way to get access to my old posts and images.

it can either be run online here:

or instructions here for running it locally:

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @[email protected]

Radio update, I've got a backup camera now. Came with the stereo. It's not a *good* backup camera but come on, sixty bucks.

Wiring it in was really easy. Ground, RCA wire for video, and tap into the reversing light for power so it comes on when I pop it into reverse. Easy peasy.

Finding a place for the wires to live, now, that was the tricky part 😅

Apropos nothing.

(Well, that's not true. It's apropos someone asking for help and then getting mad at the people trying to clarify the question.)
