finally got a tattoo on a cruise! amazing work too!

this Reddit ad really packed a lot of mismatched jargon in. Bubbles are great!

i have nothing to offer but this cat picture. did I buy a domain for them today? idk maybe. will i make them an account here? yes probably.

it is finally the weekend and we couldn’t be more pleased

pov you have dangled an esoteric debugging problem before me

with the new Pope being from Chicago, can we assume the Vatican will *finally* get a Portillo's? a bit of beef dip during mass would be great

i know i do not post enough these days but just wanted to check in and ask an important question ... is it just me or is the discord 'wink' emoji kinda... weirdly horny-looking?

i'm listening to Revolver today because the first song is "Taxman" (happy tax day!), and there's a "2022 mix" in 🍎🎶 and they have either inserted or really emphasized a yawn sound in "I'm Only Sleeping" and it is SO UNSETTLING WHY DID THEY DO THIS link: youtu.be/sAG3m3p9UeI?...

i have been informed that writing software is more boring than tending to her needs, and i should take a break

very excited to play die on this hill! also it’s just really nicely made, physical quality feels great. so many funny card combos I am excited for

the PowerShell DSC team has rewritten their core in golang and said "you do not need PowerShell at all to use this" which is... idk. something. smart to embrace industry-wide/cross-plat standards, but also quite a look devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/a...

for fun (and as a leetcode-esque exercise) i wrote a wordle solver that would do a given wordle using a provided dictionary of five letter word candidates, determining the frequency of letters and optimal next move given the state of the board coincidentally, that was the last time i played wordle

every time I click the little 'remember me' box on a login page I hear in my head a planet-scale statue of Bender screaming 'REMEMBER ME' into the unfeeling void of space happy monday or whatever ig

sometimes in life, weird things 🍃happen🍃, and sometimes that involves you and @wd.teleri.net, Bluesky royalty, in Mexico with a keytar player slaying Sweet Caroline 😭😭😭

hey 90s kids remember this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=syir...

not often you see a game literally end with insult added to injury

sorry neighbors. also wow this sounds great after a decade+ of playing electrics only omfg

i really need to stop getting new keyboards, but hear me out ... www.keychron.com/products/key...

musically inclined friends, do you have opinions on digital pianos/keyboards? i am very novice, but interested in taking lessons, and especially learning music theory more formally. can play drums well, and guitar ... acceptably, but piano is new to me. recommendations/brands would be appreciated!

as a person who has done his fair share of these for work, i contend people never appreciate them as much as they ought to

installed balatro over our holiday trip so i guess 'being a balatro guy' is in the cards for the next month or so it doesn't have me as bad as vampire survivors, but it's still ... pretty good

the Coffeezilla three part video on CS:GO / Valve-enabled online gambling is fascinating. and kudos to him for taking shots directly at Valve for profiting from and willfully enabling underage gambling. i do not think the Valve fandom will treat him kindly for it p3: youtu.be/13eiDhuvM6Y?...

wishing a very happy Boxing Day to all who observe

merry christmas y’all! ❤️💚🤍

the secret to computers is basically: we compressed base 10 into base 2, and it's just been compression all the way down since then

huh, this looks new! or at least i haven't noticed the estimate. i actually really appreciate this since it can (hopefully) disambiguate between 'i need to do a tiny lil update' and 'maybe go watch that new episode of dragon ball daima champ'

i am declaring myself the biggest Unleash the Archers fan on this here website. come at me, power metal nerds

underrated bluesky bonus is the resurrection of truly excellent vanity domains. IRC truly reborn here

i think we can all take some solace in knowing that there are some writing gigs AI will never be able to take away from real humans

in one of the vernor vinge books (i'm going to say "a deepness in the sky") there's this bit of a chapter about computer archaeologists in the far-flung future dealing with shitty time_t timestamps and trying to make sense of them and i think about it ... a lot, way too much probably

wait did a new windows 95 cd just drop?

me: hey lmk if you wanna do some stuff @kitty.teleri.net: oh yea i wanna play ffxiv actually but first i need to correct somebody about buffy on bluesky me: k going back to compiling shaders

they replaced the windows 11 mail app w/ a nice modern outlook (it's a PWA and i like it a lot), but when you launch 'mail' it opens the old one which then opens outlook. it's weird, it's been like this for like a year or two and it's really confusing to me why the mail app isn't just outlook now?

this is actually a really good video about the history of darkwing duck if that floats your boat? definitely gets my seafaring vessel buoyant af. lot of stuff about IP rights which is grimly amusing www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkUJ...

I uh… i picked up ffxiv.social on a whim. i have some ideas, most of them are bad probably

went to a bar playing football in Key West with my wife and BIL and lmao the disgusted look @wd.teleri.net gave me when i excitedly saw it was the chiefs and asked “is Taylor Swift there?!”

we are so back! 7-9 LFGGGG

when you have a tsundoku of dragon ball manga 🫠

it is important both that Bluesky provides a standardized voluntary mechanism for users to opt out of scraping, but also for users to understand that “robots.txt,” and other similar mechanisms remain … voluntary. the public internet is public, your wishes may not be respected even if expressed!

lonely single Azipods at port forward are looking to leave YOUR dock en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azipod?...

there's a lot of division and displeasure in the Dragon Age community over Veilguard, and (having not yet finished it) i am firmly in the "DA:V good" camp. knowing they managed to turn the bones of what was going to be a live service game into DA:V makes it that much more remarkable imo

I generally do not cheer for people to lose their jobs but the fact Matt Eberflus remains the head coach of the Chicago Bears breaks my heart every week

outdoor run tracking on a moving ship yields comical results i had to delete but i have run my first Virgin Voyages 10k on the outdoor track on deck 17. I hope to do this again when not rather hung over because the last 8 laps or so (250m lap) were … not very nice

cruise ship wake looks really cool

i guess there is a bomb cyclone outside or something. i really want to go for a run right now. wish me luck

decoding base64: bash/zsh/fish/whatever: > echo 'base64text' | base64 -d powershell: first, go look at whether someone has bothered to make this less crazy in 2024. no? ok, let's ask ChatGPT. ah, yes, it's four lines of code invoking .NET System.Convert and System.Text.Encoding APIs. Of course.

getting real 2007 Chargers energy from the City of Kent, WA account. what a time to be alive

a lot of my TL tonight has nostalgia for the site that was, a year or 18 months ago. but also celebrating the site that is here right now, which is different and better and worse all at once. I’m excited to see next year, and reminisce over how small and cozy the site was in 2024 once more

hi friends! for those of you with doggos and or puppers, what do you think about dog food meal prep packs/services? specifically for a (quite old, 15 years!) dog who is maybe not thriving on science diet anymore?
