"Going thirty-eight Dan, chill the fuck out, mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down"
I just found out ( from Mike on fedi ) about this project a musician did this year, whereby he would personally send you a USB with his music on it. It doesn't exist anywhere online, and he (I think quite rightfully) assumed he would have a similar amount of listeners to his music anyway. Although, it seems he probably had to send out more than anticipated, from the sounds of the update on his…
Fuck Spotify An automotive podcast popped up on youtube this morning while I was zoning out having my Saturday morning coffee. I was like "sweet, I'll add them in AntennaPod" and then proceeded to not find them anywhere. So I thought I should check spotify. I have an account but endeavour to not use it. So checked in the web player and yep, their "podcast" is there. A bit more searching on the…
This weekend I felt myself coming down with the sickness. No this is not a Disturbed reference, but good taste. Anyway, I decided to take it easy and rest up in the hope that my body will fight it off. It's just an annoying cold that is going around, but it seems pretty bad and I don't want it. So while sitting around doing not much, I decided to look at moving back to Gemini. Probably just as a…
I realised recently that my Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot-grid notebook was nearing the end. As in, it was nearly full - and not that it had worn out. Because although it sits in the bottom of my bag every day, it has held up very well. The bottom of the cover which effectively sits on the floor in my bag, is very slightly curled under. That's it, after 4½ years. Not bad. And so I rolled into Philatelic…
Now I just need to keep going. I had some time to myself this evening, so decided that instead of distracting myself with a screen, I should do something purposeful with a screen. I have seen the small folded line from an A4 page a few times, and decided that's what I would do. But about what? I decided that I have enough images I'll just grab some and lay them out and see what happens. I had the…
Someone was asking about blog platforms for photography, so I mentioned Pureblog and linked to this post as an example. I realised I had made the images clickable to load the full source image, and thought I should share the markdown to do it, as initially it is not intuitive. In Pureblog, when you upload an image it gives you the markdown to paste into the text box. So for the below image I get…
My employer is great. There are a bunch of reasons, but this year I ended up with a new work van. A long and high Toyota Hiace . Initially I hated it. It was too big; my last one was a normal size one, and it is somewhat annoying to get into some places like supermarkets where we have to service/repair their machines. I fix forklifts for a living, for those not aware, but for some reason this also…
I was browsing bubbles.town and read You can tell it's a personal website because it has personality and the 3 other blog posts linked within, about personal sites and realised that although they talk about layout and such, I am attempting to give my site it's own personality via the colours and css. I am quite fond of the cyberpunk-esque neon pink and teal glow it seems. I attempted to move away…
I saw a post on the fediverse linking this article the other day, and of course there were a bunch of replies about walled gardens, planned/forced obsolescence and so on. No fucking shit. How freakin' slow do you have to be to use an Apple and not realise they want to lock you into their walled garden and keep you on the upgrade path. Either use their shit and stay quiet, or don't and use... I…
Consolidating a few notes for easy reference for myself, and thought why not make them public. 🙂 First ensure you're using the latest Arch image from Templates in Proxmox. Then in the console: pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinux Next we can either then run pacman -Syu --disable-sandbox but because we're in an lxc running as root and CBF running the extra flag each time, lets just…
