Some traditional Finnish music this fine Sunday.

Reading a great first book in a new series is great. Then you realize you get to continue that tale in like two years, and it's less great.

First-world problem, to say the least: a band you liked and keep in your collection for sentimental reasons pop up in a random playback situation and you cringe and once again consider deleting it.

Destiny 2 coasting to a stop wasn't on my bingo card for today. It's the third game I played online absolutely obsessively and clocked thousands of hours on; GTA Online preceded it, and before that we're talking ancient times. Not over yet, and it was fun.

Actually going to watch Dua Lipa premiere the Mexico City concert on YouTube now. This is where the projector and subwoofers get to earn their keep.

Spending $226 with shipping on used purely cosmetic chrome accents for my motorcycle is kind of silly, but here we are. They'll be hiding some of the ugliest parts Triumph put on my Rocket III Touring, so I'll take it. Impossible to find usually.

No stream Friday! Going to Atlanta! Catch stream while you can! twitch.tv/tiddly

It's weird that there are very few if any readily assembled IR blasters for Home Assistant out there. Athom has some, but they couldn't handle my admittedly weird home address and refunded me. I could solder up an ESP32 myself with an IR and shit but that feels like work.

Got shame fries yesterday after the doctor! More diablo today! twitch.tv/tiddly

Fun trying to do screen work after an eye checkup. My pupils ar dielated to the size of dinner plates and I can barely make out the screen. I hope this says what I think it does because even this text is just a blur. :)

Not sure why it took me half a year to become slightly obsessed with the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack in general, and EJAE in particular, but here we are. Kpop's not really my type of music usually, but I want her to release some solo albums ASAP. Guess she'll be busy with Kpop 2.

Leveling paladin in Diablo and then Rivals! I have been loving Jeff? Who am I? twitch.tv/tiddly

I had a phone with a side-mounted fingerprint reader for years. Then I "upgraded". On the old one, I touch my finger to the button on the side and the phone is open. On this, I have to rub the screen to wake it up and then wait a second+ for it to read. An under-screen fp reader is a crap solve.

You may be a data hoarder if you literally need to use an AI to sort your shit. But feels good to have the mess cleaned up.

Rivals today! twitch.tv/tiddly

I had a... uh... few? music files I needed sorted because the folder structure was anarchy, so I pointed Claude Cowork at it. It ran out of tokens before it could complete it. 😂 It was only 400 gigabytes.

Work in progress but already kind of cool. Would never have gotten this done in #Homeassistant without AI. Some tinkering left, but have replicated my remotes as Bubble Card popups and built a quick access card for TV channels. Still missing a "universal remote" on the page. EPG may not be doable.

MORE DIABLO! Blood test today so no food for me twitch.tv/tiddly

Ok, so generative AI is BS and hurts creators. I'm on board with that. But I gotta say, using Clause to edit my Home Assistant via MCP is an absolute blast. It's not that I can't build automations, I have a bunch, but it's cool to just describe a complex thing with conditions and such and... done.

Best way to ease into the motorcycling season - run an event where you spend 7 hours almost non stop on the bike. I'm old now. I may need help once these muscles finish stiffening up... 😂

Crashing the Friday Fortnite crew! I am so excited! Birthday badges are STILL available today but it’s absolutely the last day some come by if you still want them! twitch.tv/tiddly

I keep thinking "these guys should be much bigger" whenever they release something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgj0...

BIRTHDAY STREAM IS LIVE! Come get your limited time badges! Appreciate you guys so much thanks for making every day better ❤️ twitch.tv/tiddly

That feeling when you kick off a big software upgrade and it just... sits there. Updating. While you try to avoid chewing your fingernails off. I may be getting to old for this.

NEW HAIR! Diablo STORY! BIRTHDAY TOMORROW! twitch.tv/tiddly

DEATH BY SONG! ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH- THEME twitch.tv/tiddly

Community bike riding charity event on Saturday. The weather always determines turnout. Looking at 17 degrees C, and no wind, and sunny. Might be a record-breaking year for charity this year.

Diablo story day! twitch.tv/tiddly

📣📣 H E Y 📣📣 Are there any streamers out there who wanna group up for Arc Raiders Trios PvP this Monday AM? Looking to branch out & meet some new people, as well as have some fun / take a break from care-bear lobbies 😂 Not really sure if anyone will respond, but why not give it a go. OKTY <3

Finally got the robomower going out there. Quite a load off my mind, because without it I'd have to mow manually (shoot me now) and the mower I have isn't up to the task. Increases my enjoyment of summer by 5000%. Still a lot of that pesky "life" stuff going on out there that needs clearing but eh.

OVERWATCH Excited to hop back into one of my favorite hero shooters! twitch.tv/tiddly

Marathon and Rivals PVE today! twitch.tv/tiddly

Gotta say I'm not entirely thrilled about all this AI stuff, but gotta admit it: Anthropic's Claude just saved my ass at work, had an old virtualization system I needed to get running because reasons and it was a *nasty* snarl of expired certs and the like. I'd have been at it for days.

Learning REGENT! Help! twitch.tv/tiddly

Robomower annual checklist so far: new razor blades, spring cleanup, put in the base station and powered it up and it's charging and beeping. Guess we'll see in a few hours if it will also... mow.

Really good album in my opinion. Go listen. I'm sure #Hokka is on Spotify (ack, ptui) too etc. I can hear some The Rasmus influences but there's a lot more than that going on (and gotta rep the ole homeland amirite?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iM1...

This Graves guy (also, SWARM) does some really damn cool shit. #AestheticPerfection www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twcz...

How to tell you're getting old, item #3244: you start to prefer browsing the web in light mode.

Overwatch today! twitch.tv/tiddly

Capitalism and competition is a helluva drug. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPTs...

Marathon with @revealingtoomuch.bsky.social and @lulusoccer.bsky.social today! twitch.tv/tiddly

Phones without phone cases are uncomfortable. With a nice TPU case, just toss them wherever. Without a case and with a glossy slippery surface on them, I'm petrified of dropping it or it just sliding off some surface where I put them.

Considering how dependent a whole slew of US states are on the Colorado river providing them water, this is very expected of course, but still grim. Climate change is really beginning to bite. Arizona is set to renegotiate their water amounts this year, good luck with that one.

LAST STREAM FOREVE!!! (kidding you’re stuck with me) Back on 4/15. Ascension 5 Defect NOW! twitch.tv/tiddly

Italy in 2 days! Will return on 4/15! Until then come feed my Defect addiction! Slay the Spire Ascension 4 now! twitch.tv/tiddly

A "Berliner donut" - the company supplies pastries to go with the afternoon coffee break every Wednesday. Usually they're pink, this one - well, happy Easter.

DEFECT TODAY! I can’t help it. I love the orbs! twitch.tv/tiddly

Hooray! www.patreon.com/posts/hooray...

As a #Stargate fan, it's certainly sounding like good news for seeing a new show in the franchise. I hope they can make another show that runs a decade like the first one. www.gateworld.net/news/2026/03...
