Trying to be more intentional about leaving my phone and smart watch in a separate room and just being unavailable. A lot of us are rarely unavailable these days. Messaging apps should have away messages again too that would be cute.

IMPD said AES hasn't contacted them about any threats 🫢 www.wrtv.com/news/local-n...

Thank you for this! You (among others) have helped me pave the way to repurpose an old Windows 10 machine into a homelab server. Right now it is mostly internal with TailScale connecting me up to my Navidrome server. But that works but it's not perfect. I would like to add a couple of services […]

"We believe this transaction maximizes value for existing stockholders and positions the Company for long-term success" and then some yada yada about delivering for customers. Public utilities that need to be monopolies should not be run by companies idk how many times I need to say it […]

RE: https://hoosier.social/@michael/116137206489714617 after a bit of tinkering this weekend, got this working! just grabbed all my old iTunes purchases, dropped them in the Nextcloud folder and poof, there they were in my Navidrome app on iOS. granted they are terribly tagged from iTunes and […]

Apparently I get to show off my “This Machine Kills Facists” laptop stickers to the Indiana Governor today😁

@michael finding alternatives to corporate *everything* has become kind of a long term hobby of mine 😅

It’s incredible how little I trust companies now that are publicly traded. Late stage capitalism really fucked up any brand loyalty. Sitting here listening to some AI adjacent company say this is the next Industrial Revolution and of course you have to say that, your entire stock price is riding […]

what's up you atproto fuckers they let me out of my cage (my 7 day new account ban has finally lifted)

Moving servers is probably as good as a time as any to finally make an #introduction post. Hello! I'm Michael, I'm from NW Indiana (#regionrat), still in Indiana, and I'm an audio engineer. I'm primarily in corporate audio, but I freelance around with bands and venues in Indy. I have an […]
