After what seems like years, but has only been a month or two, my co-author (@workingwriter) and I have gotten pdfs of the finalized version of Mastodon For Dummies! The book will be available everywhere in a few weeks.

I just finished skimming through the book (I've read the whole thing a few times now) and I think we've done Mastodon and the #fediverse justice and I'm really proud of it. I can't wait for you all to see it. #dummies #mastodon #book #hooray #preorders

After being bedridden with a cold most of the week I feel like I should be getting something accomplished right now! Still so exhausted tho!

New OGL update from WotC.

These live survey results are clear. You want OGL 1.0a. You want irrevocability. You like Creative Commons.

The feedback is in such high volume and its direction is so plain that we're acting now.

We are leaving OGL 1.0a in place, as is. Untouched.
We are also making the entire SRD 5.1 available under a Creative Commons license.
You choose which you prefer to use.

OGL 1.0a & Creative Commons

Over the past few weeks you, the community, have made your voices heard. And we’ve listened. OGL 1.0a will remain untouched AND the entire SRD 5.1...

I mean, the medium model correctly transcribes my name, where the small model calls me "Juche" so there's really no competition in this use case 😉

I just started #OpenAI #whisper transcribing some podcast archives (inspired by @geniodiabolico

I am very impressed with the first episode using the medium english model. The small model was almost as good, but just off enough I think it's worth the extra compute time as it's something running in the background with no deadlines.

Goofy is the result of an uplift experiment. Pluto is actually his litter brother and the control for the experiment. #headcanon
I have been thinking about changing instances and finding one focused on tech, specifically #HomeLab and #SysOps. But I realized everyone is probably self-hosting their own rather than joining!
Americans will really do anything to avoid using the metric system.

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"
