This morning I had to shovel again for the 4th day in a row. However, after that I had some time to look for today's new music.
This week, I chose Cloaked by Tipper, an electronic artist with a broad range and an impressive track record.

@fluxer.app I just discovered Fluxer. It seems like it's still having an outage right now, yeah? Or at least, the "join community" feature seems to be disabled.
I’m watching Star Trek: DS9 for the first time. I grew up with TNG.
My first impressions are that DS9 is a very different vibe than TNG, but it still feels familiar. I enjoy it so far.
I’ve… never considered doing this. Dang, now I might need to get one of them.
Out of curiosity, I thought I would search for “yoga” here.
The top results were influencers posting self-aggrandizement and alphabet soup “brands” advertising accessories.
I scrolled for awhile, and didn’t see a single post that even referenced anything outside of the fitness aspect.
You know what would be interesting? If the Australian ban on social media for kids led to a new generation discovering how to host your own personal website.
That’s gorgeous. I love the lighting!
Same. Why waste energy being negative? It’s much more fun to gush about things we like.
Jess and Eda in front of a slide that says "Code you did not write is code you do not understand. You cannot maintain code you do not understand."
This is one of my biggest gripes with AI generated code. People don't understand what they're committing and that's so dangerous. #ffconf with @jesslynnrose.bsky.social & @edaeren.bsky.social
I know I’m asking a lot lately, and I wouldn’t if I didn’t have another choice (I literally applied for SNAP benefits in order to help ease the load, and then three days later the government shut down), so if you have anything you can spare, you’d be helping me out more than you can know.
This research began with opera. Now, it’s homing in on mosh pits. Here’s why studying professional screamers can help vocalists across the musical spectrum.
I’ll second Reina. Beautiful work!
Well, after all the hype around KDE’s birthday and plenty of angst about Windows 11, I blew away my Windows drive on my gaming PC and replaced it with Debian 13 running KDE Plasma on Wayland. So far, everything is working well. I may blog about what I needed to do to get some things working.
This is a great read about "open social," and a very good introduction to how the protocol that powers Bluesky works. At some point I might tinker with this myself. overreacted.io/open-social/
I still haven’t watched all of Stargate: Atlantis. As a fan of SG-1 and Jason Momoa, I realize this is a problem.
That’s unfortunate. I liked Chakotay.
Luckily, I’ve developed an ability to disassociate characters with the actors they portray them. Otherwise, I’d have a real hard time enjoying the Mission Impossible movies.
I eventually finished 2077, but had to resort to using WeMod for god mode against the final boss.
I don’t think I’ve ever played a cyberpunk TTRPG, unless you count Shadowrun.
I recently switched the manuscript for my current TTRPG project from LaTeX to Typst, and I'm pretty happy with the new tool so far.

Well, I’ve run games in that style plenty, if you ever want to try one.
Shadowdark is great for one shots.
Amazing work! …where’s Toadette?
I had no idea this existed. I’m following it now.
Community copies are a nice way to circumvent at least some of the hurdles. Sadly they are a very itch-specific messure.
FYI there's a translation jam happening right now. Engangement is low...but still, it was a honorable effort.

Oh yeah, definitely Heathrow for me. The chaos was stressful.
On the opposite side, the airport in Bangkok was probably the most delightful one I’ve been in.
Same. I adore the 1930s Errol Flynn movies, and I sure wasn’t born in the 1910s.
I loved the new Fantastic Four movie. I also loved the other three. Of the lot, I think the latest one resembled the comics I’ve read the most.
Godzilla: The Series surprisingly managed to correctly predict the advent of Gen AI in 1998, and had an appropriate lesson at the end of the episode.
The Internet Roadtrip is now trying to cross Labrador. A 100-foot gap in Street View coverage almost forced them to turn back, but as they approached the break, someone got a friend in Labrador City to drive to the spot IRL and take and upload a panoramic photo to fix it. neal.fun/internet-roa...
What if the moon turned into a black hole?
Watch the latest What If? video collaboration with @minuteearth.bsky.social!

Very happy with Bunny so far.
