if I didn’t know any better, I’d say it looks like I just went through surgery OH WAIT (the forehead rag just very much completes the look, haha - have had a *nasty* tension headache the past 24hours. vibin’ and recovering well, though!)

Yesterday, we mourned the loss of two towers. Today, we celebrate the loss of a third (I got bottom surgery!)

wait, Stockholm metro cars have names?? since when??

had an anaerobic natural el salvadoran V60 today and it was *so good*, y’all

tfw you go to get a haircut and they cut your hair

... ok, bahtinov mask diffraction spikes with an Hα filter (i.e. the light is a single wavelength) are really cool I wonder if there's a physical reason some of the dots are dimmer, or if it's just random imperfections

ya girl doin' astrophotography

I hung out with Hiro today!

having an espresso machine at the office is so dangerous. im going feral on decaf flat whites. help.

used my telescope properly for the first time in years!

finally was a cloudless night tonight, so I pointed my telescope out my window as a lazy test for the bahtinov mask @freya.bsky.social 3d printed me - it works great! (my motorized mount was turned off - so the star moving is due to the rotation of the earth)

im so tired of summer. somebody ship me off to reykjavík, please.

gosh I kinda missed doing stuff like this! collimating my telescope after not using it in ages, before and after feat. bahtinov mask @freya.bsky.social just 3d printed for me! (which is why I'm pulling my telescope out and playing with it)

I did a comparison of latency in ffxiv, windows vs. linux! (bumped mouse and timed how long it took to turn the camera) - ffxiv is surprisingly low latency, basically no difference between a text editor and it - no statistically significant difference between windows and linux

whoever said fresh sheets are nice needs to unsubscribe. they feel weird, smell unfamiliar, are wonky and make me feel foreign. there. that’s my hot take. a necessary unpleasantness to stay clean.

This has to be the nerdiest photo I've ever taken.

I finally got a moka pot again! I used to have one in Seattle but I have no idea where it went. ... this brings the number of ways I can make coffee at home up to 5

help, i want to get it, it’s totally impractical, but it’s so so cute

the first game I made a modding API for, it was a constant struggle trying to help modders through its clunky wonkiness, constant complaints from mod developers. it feels really nice that for the second game, I’ve heard nothing at all. Countless mods, nobody talking about it. Just works.

me: just finishing reading Project Hail Mary a week ago, thinking about how it's kinda sad it's much less adaptable to screen than The Martian, ambiently curious what it would be like if it somehow was the world:

it's been a while since I've done fractal shenanigans. (didn't spend much time on this, mostly just wanted to futz on something!)

63 days ago I made the first commit to Haste starting work on multiplayer. It's out now! High key proud of myself youtu.be/Xep6cefa_lI

mildly disconcerting to wake up from a subway nap and your train is driving on the wrong side of the tracks

sometimes I think about how astronomy never stops. Light from distant galaxies is raining down on earth, if only we could catch and understand it. Look up, and the answers to the mysteries of the universe are *literally* smacking you in the face.

omg the Vera Rubin telescope is online!!! I’m legitimately so excited, feels like I’ve been waiting so long for this

NEW HASTE UPDATE DROPPING WEDNESDAY!

few things are more wild than random internet friends of mine (who I have not mentioned my job to) going “hey let’s play this new game I found, it’s called Peak”

100K PEAK copies!!! 🏔️❤️ Whoaaa thank you scouts 😭

tfw i bought new coffee and i want to try it but i already had an espresso at the roastery because i wanted to compare to my own espressos so im overcaffinated already help

cozied up in bed to read a book for the first time in a while, and one (1) single vertebrae in my neck is extremely unhappy about it

I made a little program for flashcards for chess openers! you can punch in what openers you want to practice, and it checks if you know the correct responses to the various lines :3 (... please excuse the terrible arrow text, still a wip, haha)

extremely big thinking face

multiplayer chess - instead of 1v1 (boring), you each control one piece. whoever moves first is your team's move.

im gonna wall it github.com/Unity-Techno...

once again, stockholm pretty

(singing with a moka pot) “little bit of pipe bomb on the stove, really hope the va-alve is not closed”

finally got around to watching the queens gambit! was super good!! my only nitpick was that it kept taking me out of the show whenever there was a classical time game - like y’all just did 6 moves in 15 seconds in a crazy-ass midgame, c’mon. (I understand why from a filmmaking perspective, but yea)

someone should make a game about tetrising yourself into bed when there’s cats all over it

most proportionate man

it’s been a hot minute since I’ve lived alone with 3 cats but I’m reminded that 3 cats is *a lot of cats*

Kidnapped! by the Ex

tried my first kokkaffe today out of curiosity (shove coffee in a pot on the stove) - smelled *atrocious* while brewing, but turned out... kinda decent? definitely sticking with v60/aeropress for normal days, but it was an interesting experience! does make me want to get another moka pot though

there’s something weird about district heating: someone else is controlling my thermostat? I could take back control by adjusting the control knobs on the radiators… but they’re doing a pretty A+ job. but it’s still strange a stranger is like “oh let’s turn up the heat by two points” for me

help, im in a phase where i really want to like C, but it takes so long to write anything

step 1: set up for a cozy book evening in bed step 2: too comfy, sleep time instead

ok this is almost certainly a mistake to ask for, but: anyone have recommendations for news outlets, ideally swedish or just european focused? (not american) I enjoy the TL;DR channels, Climate Town/Simon Clark, etc., but I want more than one source for news

probability of me forgetting this?

you ever stumble across the memory of a plot that’s been developing for years in your dreams, and all you can think is “how did I never remember this while awake before”
