Lost my aunt this morning, but it was anticipated. She lived a long, good life so I'm not overly depressed.
We have a wedding in that household in a few weeks, and my aunt hasn't been well the past 6 months. We were all anxious of what was to come.
I'm flying out tomorrow, for her funeral and to meet close family on Easter.
I'm happy for my cousin's family, that they can finally have peace and focus on their son's wedding in 3 weeks. She went through hell taking care of her mother.
Turns out my Instagram account that I deactivated in 2018 or so was hijacked, using a password I used commonly on non-important apps, in the early 2010s. Didn't think to change a deactivated app password.
Long story short, I got in, set a stupidly complicated password, and decided to look around. Being 'hacked' was depressing but not as much as actually using Instagram.
I don't believe in souls, but Instagram is lacking it!
Since I've been giving away fountain pens to folk at work, I decided, I want a second pen next to my trusty Lamy Safari. I ordered the popular Jinhao 82 in red. It should be here tomorrow!
Making silly URLs, visualising complex weather data, a TUI network discovery tool, and an open source version of a classic synthesizer in discoveries, plus the sad reality that it’s more or less impossible to avoid code that’s been generated by “AI” these days.
Did something I should have done long back. Did a Google Photos checkout after getting annoyed by the - you have used 100% of your storage - You need storage to back up photos, upload files, and send and receive email.
It took 10 minutes, and I'm already plugging it into my Immich library. I've been using Round Sync (an Android rclone client) on my phone, the past year or so, to sync my DCIM folder to my Immich library location.
I'll have freed up 10/15GB.
Hello, Fediverse 👋
I'm Frost and relatively new to Mastodon. Interesting in connecting with and following more people of similar interests.
I self-host this small server, and am into tech, generally. I'll probably be posting about self-hosting (Mastodon & Sear), privacy under surveillance capitalism, FOSS, open hardware, tech law, and so on. Also into archivism, retro gaming, & hardware repair.
Techy-stuff aside, I'm also into wine, books, and philosophy.
It's been a while since I've heard the "Windows just works" tier taunt against Linux.
