For You will be down for ~1-2 hours as I replace the system drive. The Kingston NV2 drive has been freezing up the computer - often for a minute at a time and sometimes indefinitely until a manual restart. I'm replacing it with a Samsung 990 Pro, which should be more stable.

Well I guess I need child locks for the house now #caturday

the computer should have never left this room. we have to go back

Introducing OmniDrive! A firmware modification for MediaTek MT1959-based optical disc drives manufactured by Hitachi-LG Data Storage that enables features that allow for better, more complete reading of discs, including proprietary game discs. github.com/RibShark/Omn...

For You was down for 3 hours 40 minutes. The cause: the system SSD (Kingston NV2, SM2267XT) controller hanged and never restarted. It has been hanging periodically but always recovering in less than a minute. But this time it hasn't recovered. It looks like I will need to replace the system drive

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

We've released a self-hostable reference implementation of a PLC read-replica service to make the Atmosphere ever more decentralized. @retr0.id has details on what this all means. atproto.com/blog/plc-rep...

Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime: www.404media.co/leaked-email...

Remember if you find a battery that is swelling it’s just trying to moult and you should help it by poking a hole with a soldering iron.

feels cruel for Bluesky to have a Popular With Friends tab, if any of us were popular with friends we wouldn't be on Bluesky

Is there a HTML embed/similar so I can show my recent @teal.fm listens on my site? ^^

welcome to the bathroom

In a proper world our country would move the heavens to launch an emergency space mission delivering these dudes a case of frosty Tsingtaos

I’m cooked.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

it's time to jail the people who don't use headphones on the subway

It’s The Weekend!*

we just rolled out an experimental integration with @germnetwork.com, an E2E encrypted chat app that integrates with atproto. Germ users can add a button to their profile so others can message them from Bluesky. we're exploring ways to connect your profile with other apps in the Atmosphere.

My HomePod mini has fell victim to the ghost touch problem and this is very annoying; you can "fix" it by unplugging the touch sensor (which is fine) but now the fabric all looks a mess because I'd have to re-stitch it :/

15 years ago today, Lady Gaga released “Born This Way.”

Because of his begging emails in the latest Epstein drop. Jesus it's not hard people. Epstein drop was two weeks before. A week later he is being roasted for begging for party invites. He pivots SpaceX on Sunday. Yesterday y'all stop covering his Epstein appearances.

The full illustration I did for @bsky.app !!

Would never ask you to verify your age

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet: www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

Ok that's .. weird, I was having some issues using api.pop2.bsky.app directly on my PDS and- oh I just saw the status graph, that's why!

No Microsoft, I promise - this PC is set up, and I don't "need" to do any of those things!

Everyone so excited by the Apple Lockdown mode in WaPo reporter story tends to skip past "So they unlocked her Mac and read her signal conversations there" part.

On this day in 2001, Microsoft officially announced that Windows XP would be the name for their upcoming OS release.

Tomodachi Life stream going great so far

Yes, and you say "no drugs" despite the fact that your pre-workout contains what are obviously several gas station amphetamines

Please send me 5 coins ty /S

Whoever put this much detail into the telephone inside the phone box in ACNH, I love you so much. This is scarily accurate 😅

Raymond has a fax machine in his house (home office?) and honestly, same. #ACNH

"yeah i'm a cybersecurity expert. signal isn't safe don't use it. privacy isn't even actually real at all, the governmemt has an orb that shows them what you're doing at all times. anyway just use discord or email or something normal."

*old man voice* the youths don't know the pain of migrating to your own PDS before PDS MOOver

@animadoria.com and I had a 11 minute phone call on a real (VoIP) landline - what year is this?!

Starting Sex and the City, finally, now that I have my Series X as a Blu-ray player!

Cool to see @letsencrypt.bsky.social's support of IPv4/IPv6 'shortlived' certs - only valid for 6 days! I set mine up out of sheer curiosity: [2603:c025:2:91bb:c6b7:be7b:c257:83ed] (or 129.151.64.135)

"the uk can't just ban vpns" is a very frustrating attitude to see. they can and they will, if they decide to. it's important that they don't decide to.

no, you're wrong. using one of these books is infinitely preferable to someone using nothing but a reused password 9,000 times. they're especially good for older people who don't go out much. if your book is at risk in your home, you have bigger problems than "they're going to steal my amazon login"

Thank you for your resilience, your persistent brilliance...it transformed how the world navigates & understands our planet. Your work touches nearly every modern device & journey and more people should know your name. Goodnight and godspeed, Gladys West.🕯️ thezebra.org/2026/01/18/d... #WomenInSTEM
