Came back to this site after a while only to be greeted by three posts about Nick Clegg, of all people, two about RFK Jr, and a bunch of people complaining about how we don't trust each other. Guys, I just wanted to muse in public about whether I should buy an armchair for reading purposes...

I cannot stress enough, this is Trump making your kids tuition at *any* institution more expensive by scaring away international students who pay full-freight and thus subsidize US students' tuition.

That's how Dems should attack: Trump wants college to be more expensive. Trump take college.

Cannot recommend Learn Linux TV's Proxmox Full Course enough if you're looking to learn about server management and/or create a home lab

Every once in a while I scroll through my podcasts and start mourning the loss of Longform all over again. Miss those interviews.

Ok, not gonna lie, it's pretty cool seeing my own posts show up in my RSS reader.

Added (I think successfully) RSS to my site! Don't expect a lot of people to use it given how infrequently I post and how infrequently people use RSS in 2025, but if you're so inclined you can now get updates from me in your RSS reader!

Finished reverse-engineering a part that I'd been working on for a week or so, made a new pattern for leather-working, and fixed a few bugs on my site. Pretty fun day! (Though the current time suggests this fun may have come at the expense of tomorrow-Ben)

So pretty much all the people who know me personally are on threads (if anything outside of Instagram) and I pretty much just want to post here... I think I've just talked myself into the whole fediverse concept...

There are few feelings more victorious than fixing a bug in your code precisely five minutes before you told yourself you had to stop for the day. Today is the rare day where the stars aligned!

Finally feeling like I'm getting better at using Fusion360... I thought right before a 20 minute fight with some constraints.

I feel like I'm finally getting to a point with Fusion360 where the majority of my time using it does not feel like wading through sand. This is progress!

Ok so this is exciting -- you can search something on Bluesky and then filter by language. Officially adding Japanese geospatial tweets to my study goals.

Turns out that alternating between 12 hours of pointless video games and 12 hours of sleep is a perfectly reasonable way to get over a fever.

Ok so like, all I want is a social media platform that gives me roughly the same kind of thing I get on YouTube. A steady diet of GIS tips, cooking how-tos, and unsolicited videos of a silent Italian man carving a falcon with a dremel. Instead I get a hundred takes about the future of Facebook.

Actually this IS my circus but I have no idea whose monkeys those are so needless to say I’m concerned

How is it 2025 and there are games that don’t have an invert controls button for lefties? #dextriarchy

I love that Instagram is translating 笑 as “lmfaooooo”.
