Trying to break things that need breaking, deliberately and after much reflection, make things in a likewise manner, and generally reshape the various worlds I inhabit to be slightly more habitable.

in a world that made sense, we wouldn’t copy these media artifacts from server to server because requesting it directly from the source would be both fast for the requestor and lightweight for the source server.
it’s a shame lightweight caching proxies at the edge don’t get the big parties and glamorous media coverage and fat paychecks because if’n they did maybe we’d stop trying to reinvent how to efficiently cache and serve the same ten file formats so we don’t make them fall over when someone asks for one of those files because we sure ain’t good at it in the general case. install squid. be happier.

This is a short thread wrapping up some recent uploads.

I keep seeing articles about the latest Disney Live Action film saying "Who is this for?" and "Why did they make this?"

They made it because it won't lose them any money, and it let's them give less money to the animators who worked on their previous films.

They made it bad because it doesn't matter how bad it is.

Hell, the worse they make it the more people will talk about it, and the more people will watch it just to see what the controversy is about.

We win against Disney by not talking about what their films.

So I am totally a wife guy but I am also a kid guy and grandkid guy so I guess that makes me a family guy and suddenly it all has this weird ick all over it.
through the fog of my broken sleep schedule over the last few days I have managed to haul myself to NEHI to reset the lasers for LaserVision once more, still running test patterns but getting some very interesting and promising results, so we’re now running two new permutations that double the number of passes per layer from 4 to 8 to see how the resultant depth changes. hopefully we’ll be back to testing the lasing of our latest mold design by the end of the week!

for the record, after the massive line that prevented our daughter from making her flight on time yesterday morning, taking her to the airport last night at 1am resulted in a line at the main checkpoint that looked to be about thirty people deep when she joined. she was through security before I was back in Ellijay.

Oh shit, there's finally been a US release of Hyperspace (AKA Gremloids) https://kinolorber.com/product/hyperspace-3-d-director-s-cut

Hyperspace is the film that brought Lord Buckethead to the UK, where it was a minor hit.

The film imagines, essentially, a world where, while seeking the princess, Darth Vader accidentally ends up in a small town in the Carolinas.

It never got a US release, and this is it's first HD release.
