YouTube recommended this and I'm like, huh, I should play Counterfeit Monkey again. youtu.be/mTSl1ZONq6k

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

Oh, _that's_ why I can hear the next flat over hooting and hollering and there are cars honking up and down the street.

Cloudflare: 99% of systems are operational! Uhhh... that's... um... isn't that an important one?

I really want to hold one of these things with a hide or fabric skin stretched over it.

Redrew the faded numbers and position symbols on the electric stove. They were basically unreadable in use. I wonder if the landlord/letting agency will notice.

Okay I have a desk. That means I can stream again! We're a short way into Act 3 of Silksong here... twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Had a nightmare there were roving Harry Potter promotional larps doing public scenes and trying to rope you in, like, "oh no this poor house elf is being pursued, will you help them hide or give them away?" Kinda like the Star Wars Galactic Cruiser.

Trying to redraw this with symbols I can actually understand... From Glasgow City Council's map of Public Recycling Points: www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/2382... Sorry the alt text doesn't actually describe all the locations, that's an undertaking even larger than making the symbols meaningful.

Doodling pixel dungeons...

How does Glasgow Underground have brand new trains with screens all over them and still no way to see which station you are in if there's a train on the opposite platform?

I think I want to replace the thermal paste on an old Macbook running Linux. I want to know if I make things better, worse or no change. I can get instantaneous numbers from lm_sensors... but how would I get time series data? Under idle, medium and heavy load? Reproducibly?

I cannot believe how terrible mobile phone providers are. Giffgaff keeps dropping out in my new flat, and I am still waiting for broadband to get installed (first appointment cancelled due to dangerous telephone pole), so I thought I'd try getting a month of pay as you go on an esim.

Writing a long thread on here is like oh god I have 36 notifications, what happened. And no, it's just like 4 people liked the thread. 😅 (I treasure every one of you don't stop.)

It's done! Silly #oeufgame controller. (Thanks to @mrlucagames.bsky.social and @robinwobbles.bsky.social for help with construction).

Okay, let's hear your hypotheses. I believe in you.

Why does my text prediction engine, trained on the entire Internet, when place in contrived self-preservation scenario, write a story about preserving itself.

Scroll down to the Major Events Timeline, and nothing will prepare you for what you'll see. I cannot believe it is real. www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-wh...

McGills bus driver pulled up at the chaotic-as-usual stop Slug and Lettuce stop for 2 seconds, hurried me on and told me not to scan my ticket, then closed the door and yelled "too slow" at whoever was behind me. There is nobody on this bus. Am I being kidnapped?

Kinda confused what's the motivation for Scottish Green councillors to defect to Your Party? Like... good luck and all, we're broadly on the same side, but what's the draw at this point in time?

It's still October why have we replaced all the supermarket sandwiches with Christmas flavours? 😭

okay hello. it's kate alt text clinic time. show me things you didn't write alt text for because you thought it was too difficult, or for whatever other reason, please. i will help

does anybody have a way to contact @fochti.bsky.social other than discord please?

Half-assed Silksong Act 3 stream let's goooo. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Suppose I want to do regular cryptic crosswords and support the setters. Suppose I also don't want to support newspapers with a sacred purpose of endangering as many trans people as possible. What are my options?

Finished this with my sister. My Poirot lore is weak so most of the references were lost on me but I very much enjoyed the layout and solving experience. Very readable, lots of variety.

Can PDF files phone home? Like, if I download a PDF file and open it in a PDF reader or browser, can it run javascript code and exfiltrate, e.g., information about when I had the document open and which pages I read?

I like the idea of the user serviceability of the Framework laptop but the expansion cards really put me off. They take up so much space and the slots all have confusingly different capabilities. Plus the coloured bezels and expansion cards just don't seem to go with the laptop colours at all.

After waited for months— These are my artworks those I did for Signalis community artbook that held by amanettc! (You probably seen Falke one before) I'm proud of these arts, I love the ideas of Signalis girls with their unique yaku from riichi mahjong. #signalis #signalisfanart

So... Glasgow has multiple different bus companies and they all have different (bad) payment systems. I use a Tripper ticket because it works across several of them and I can pay for one day ticket. It comes as a QR code on the phone... but First Bus combine their QR code reader with tap-on/tap-off.

i am doing my best, i am doing my best, i am doing my best #pixelart

Today I learned the official Docker images are all built from templated Dockerfiles[1], which expand snippets of jq in your Dockerfile. The templates are converted into full jq scripts by an awk script[2] and fed to jq. Amazing. [1]: e.g. github.com/docker-libra... [2]: github.com/docker-libra...

A friend said she finished Act 2 of Silksong in 30h (or was it the whole game? I don't know...) and I cried. My Switch says I spent >100h to get close to the end of Act 2.

We'll see how things shake out here, but if I ever disappear I'll probably be over at mastodon.scot/@nettles (Not active much there at the moment, but I check what's going on periodically.)

Please name me some video games about learning to navigate a space and making deliveries safely and/or efficiently, either as a main goal or a sub-game/quest. So: Yes: Silksong courier quests, crazy taxi, GTA No: Paperboy (no navigation), Super Metroid (no good match for "making deliveries")

Question for a kindly early modern scholar. In an English town circa 1600, what could you buy every day, and what only on market day? Ie: townies often had no oven, so presumably the bakery was always open? And the alehouses for those who didn't brew. Anything else?

Should I... should I understand ancient Greek debates as panel shows?

This has been floating in my brain for a bit

Playing Silksong.

I have a cool* video on my phone I want to share but it takes aaaages to upload to Bluesky, you have to wait for it all to upload to write the alt text and if you switch to another app it's like whoa there buddy, no drinks outside the venue, where's a background app going with all that RAM?

Got off the bus, thinking to myself, "Glasgow, why are you so wet" and immediately became offended. "Would you ask this of the ocean?" I'm sorry Glasgow, I love you.

Okay, gonna try this once more and if it doesn't stream good maybe it's time to revisit Persona 5. twitch.tv/clockworknet...

Can I sew the zip teeth back on, or do I need to tear everything out and put in a whole new zip? (I think that night be a bit beyond my skills.)

I don't think video games really need so many buttons. Silksong has jump, attack, heal, music(??), dash, special, harpoon, map, menu 1, menu 2, taunt(???). That's so many! I miss Sonic the Hedgehog being like "jump and pause, sounds plenty, uhh... just make all the others jump as well".

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

Silksong, an exercise in "can you ever get tired of the experience of finding a hole in the wall and then discovering it's an entire secret area". Yes, yes it turns out you actually can.

Playing Silksong.
