"Earth Blue Day" by #NickHarper. Apparently recorded and produced within a day at Abbey Road by #JohnLeckie. So it's mainly Nick and acoustic guitar, with backing singers ensemble. There's heavy improvisational feel and plenty of that "stunt guitar" […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

Logged into the #amstrad #bbs tonight with my old PC1640. I must do this more often, as the hard disk was giving "not ready" during the boot and I had to do several power cycles / cold resets to get it to work, but once up it was OK. #telnet #oldschool #retrocomputing #pc #8086

"Oceanside Countryside" by #neilyoung. One more in the series of previously unreleased albums (recorded in 1977). While many of the songs are familiar and appear on other releases, these versions are unique. Great stuff as expected. #music #vinyl #recordcollecting #folk #country

"Talkin To The Trees" by #NeilYoung. Musically this has some familiar nostalgic moods from his #folkrock and #countryrock era, even some Bluenotes style of #blues. Lyrically there's 1980s echoes, and he's talking part of everyday politics: "If you're a […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

I think I'm finally able to continue my project to make a #VT102 compatible e-ink terminal, as I was able to find a copy of the original #Digital VT102 manual, documenting all those escape sequences. Does anyone else miss the days when there were […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Trojan Rude Boy Box Set". What a great way to start the #weekend. This probably my favourite of these boxes besides the plain ska-themed ones. Killer tunes and great sound. "Too often dismissed as mere hooliganism, the social ramifications […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Strange Strings" by #sunra. Great vibrant electro-acoustic and percussion heavy #freejazz and #avantgarde. No compositions or songs; just heavy experimentation, and occasional falling down the ladder. #music #acoustic #cd #recordcollecting

"Still" by #RichardThompson. Produced by the #Wilco guy, so sounds occasionally a bit like #countryrock in places, but mostly #folkrock. Good album alright, steady going, and great jamming here and there. The long ending "Guitar Heroes" is a standout […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Oh What A Beautiful World" by #willienelson. His 77th album or so. This time he's interpreting songs by #rodneycrowell. Sweet country tunes, brilliant music. #country #music #cd #recordcollecting

"God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be" by #sunra. It's surprisingly down-to-planet-earth Sun Ra, but damn good and impressive. A jazz trio with Ra on acoustic piano, so simple but effective. Great playing and I love the superb sound of this CD re-release. #music #cd #acoustic #jazz #recordcollecting

"Fillmore East - June 1971" by #themothers. I was about to go to sleep, but noticed the news about #markvolman, so wanted to listen to this. I think it's an OK album from Flo & Eddie period. Thanks for the music. #rip #zappa #jazz #word #improvisation #humor #music

peace to mark volman (among many other things) one of my 2 favorite after-school DJs when i was, like, 10. flo & eddie's daily "psychedelic six-pack" was maybe the first place i encountered the word "psychedelic" https://variety.com/2025/music/news/mark-volman-dead-turtles-happy-together-1236509450/

IRC muutti minun elämäni täysin. Pääsin yhteisöihin, joista en ollut aiemmin tietoinen. Löysin samanhenkisiä nettikavereita. Löysin elämänkumppanin @rolle n sieltä. Pidimme myös häät IRCissä. Maistraatissa meidän kahden lisäksi oli kaksi muuta IRCkaveria. Ja mikä parasta. IRCissä vammani ei näy […]

"Let Me Hang You" by #Burroughs. What should I say? A superb album. A posthumous release, but he's as fresh as ever. Texts are from "Naked Lunch" and music perhaps added later on, but it's a pretty good mix and a great listen. It's almost sounds a like […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Tempus Fugitive" by #NickHarper. Escapism/nostalgia? The sleeve art reminds some early 1980s #Marillion sleeves, and of course there's obvious FB&B refs. The first seconds are nostalgic but then it shifts into a modern rhythm party mood. Pretty fresh […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

Finally migrated away from UEVENT_HELPER to netlink-based solution on my #linux boards. "... should not be used today, because usual systems create many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes that it creates a […]

"You? Me? Us?" by #RichardThompson from 1996. This has two CDs to emphasize electric/acoustic split (at 74 mins all 19 songs would have still fitted on a single disc). Two songs get both electric/acoustic treatment. Overall a pretty average RT album […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

20 cents/kWh is my price limit for x86_64 computing. Still 1 hour or so I can turn my servers on again and resume compilation etc jobs. #powermanagement #offmode

Another summer gone; 2025 Finnish 1:10 Offroad National #RC #car #racing series finished yesterday in #Vaasa on their cool new turf track. In modern class, I was able to bump my ranking up from 24th to 20th this year in the series! The vintage class […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

Walking through a second hand book store should feel like you’re flying through the trench run on the Death Star.

"United Abominations" by #megadeth. Good shit, and not aged a bit, given the shitty chaos all around the world today. The album is almost prophetical. Musically great as well! Killer guitar riffing here and there. #music #cd #recordcollecting #metal #davemustaine

Always cool to see bands still advertising using street art posters. #orangegoblin #dopelords #helsinki

I'm considering replacing a spinning SATA disk in one of my servers. smartctl shows no errors but this stands out: Power_On_Hours 77372. While the data seems to be fine, it occasionally fails to start after a long power-off period and BIOS gets stuck when probing the disk. #computer #admin […]

I have finally upgraded my #diy home routers from #rpi 1 to RPi 3. This is part of my long term plan to abandon 32-bit #arm. With RPi 1 I was using rt2x00 USB Wi-Fi adapters with an external antenna. I was concerned about the performance of the internal "no-antenna" design of RPi 3 but it turns […]

Tarvitseeko kukaan 32-bittisiä Raspberry Pi kortteja esim. varaosiksi vanhoihin projekteihin? Itse en enää tarvitse, joten lähtee postimaksun hinnalla: - 2 kpl Raspberry Pi Model B (2011.12) - 1 kpl Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 (2014) - 2 kpl Raspberry Pi […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"The Music Never Stopped" by #GratefulDead. A working man's version (3CD) of their 60th anniversary box set, apparently featuring a song from each show in that box set. As expected, superb music and sound. Liner notes by @bourgwick and they feature nice […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

Tänään näköjään oli #kallio Block Party ja kadut täynnä turisteja lähiöistä ja lähikauppaankin piti jonottaa. Sanoisin että luonnollisuus, erilaisuus ja vapaus on tästä karnevaalista kaukana. https://www.hs.fi/helsinki/art-2000011402905.html #turismi #massapsykoosi

This is how my #mastodon instance is spending its day according to CPU freq stats. It's #rpi 3 so I'd say it takes 2.5W on average. I'm going to try running one week with a power meter to see how well this calculation works. #lowpower #selfhosting

I have upgraded my #mastodon instance from v4.3.10 to v4.4.2. Apparently - and amazingly - it still seems to work! Again a lot of manual steps each taking sometimes hours on a low-end #rpi. I wish software upgrades were more easy and automatic... #software #rant #selfhosting

Another outage w/Bitwoods instance! This time 10 days (I was out of town), and the last journal logs were: Jul 17 22:03:28 bitwoods systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Watchdog timeout (limit 3min)! Jul 17 22:03:28 bitwoods systemd[1]: systemd-journald.service: Killing process 2898452 […]

Another rapids show seen. This time at #Kyröskoski - the 2nd biggest waterfall in #Finland, also mentioned in #Kalevala (as #Hälläpyörä). This was a cool event as well - no highbrow Sibelius style as at #Imatra, but more natural and lo-fi aesthetics - […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

Finnish #summer lasts maybe 2 weeks. Sunny days get spent fixing stuff that gets ruined by the non-sunny weather, Trailer's floor had gone so crisp I could press a finger through it. Drilling off 30 rivets and then making holes into the new plywood […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

#Virolahti #BunkerMuseum at the southern end of #SalpaLine is pretty cool. It's similar to the one in #Joensuu, but way bigger area with more stuff. You can also visit one of the bunkers inside. There's also hiking routes in beautiful scenery from 4 to […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

Finally got to see and hear #imatrankoski in action. Close to a religious experience! The praise already written in #kalevala is valid. The spectacle organized by #imatra city had quality PAs blasting out #sibelius from the sky. Simply amazing. #tourism #karelia #music #ambient

Hand-made #ww2 anti-tank obstacles in #Tohmajärvi. These are part of the #salpaline a.k.a. The Finland's Latch. Great inspiration for #diy minded-people and a good show case of sisu. A specific stone material was searched to allow faster crafting & ramp-up. Keep it simple. #tourism #karelia

It's #summer, and yesterday #Finnish 1:10 2WD #Offroad National championship series kicked off at #Joensuu! One of the best tracks in #Finland, w/nice up & down hill sections and even a bridge! The day started with a bit of rain so the track the slippery […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Pink Floyd At Pompeii - MCMLXXII". Wow. A long-time favorite ever since I saw the movie in the 1980s, and now finally there's an official soundtrack! I always loved their #Ummagumma era live stuff, and those tracks are close to perfect here. While this […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]
