This post made me realize something quite funny. It is very important for me that you know that everything here is written by real human. I use this blog as a outlet for me to put my thoughs into text. I don't try to write posts that will garner readers or follow trends. I just whatever I want to explore or write...
Alguien está creando videos utilizando Inteligencia Artificial, donde un influencer llamado Oblyon, viaja a través del tiempo, relatando todo lo que ve en primera persona, narrando la historia en tiempo real. El trabajo hecho es tremendo, esto es cine. Les dejo uno de los «episodios»… View this post on Instagram
Use Rosetta to run Terraform as x86_64 on Apple Silicon and avoid provider checksum mismatches.
În cartea 1984 de George Orwell, la un moment dat este descrisă harta lumii și teritoriile controlate de cele trei superstate. Oceania cuprinde ambele Americi, Insulele Britanice, Australia, Noua Zeelandă și sudul Africii. Eurasia se întinde pe tot continentul european și pe întreaga Rusie, până la granițele Asiei...
Hace una semana y algo os conté que, casi solo por Shin Chan en Comedy Central, me había vuelto a suscribir a Movistar Plus+. Pues esta mañana leo que han sacado un plan a 5€ que quita el deporte, pero mantiene los canales de series y entretenimiento, que son básicamente los que consumo, junto con el contenido bajo...
“Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’ I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. – Through the...
Woah. My ship didn't explode. Twice. I've been roaming a bit of lowsec again in my hookbill. I managed to reach 6 killmarks today! So that's 6 kills in this one ship, which of 4 were today. Holy crap, my ships never stay running this long. I am flying back to base as I'm writing this, so I'm expecting it to blow up...
foofaraw.press The first anthology from Foofaraw Press has arrived.A little bit of self-promo here, but over on the litmag I run, we released our first full length anthology. It's a book of 30 stories that were submitted to us based on the theme of "foofaraw: a great deal of fuss or attention given to a minor...
He soñado que estábamos en un bar/pub y el DJ pinchaba Amesoeurs. Me acercaba al DJ para decirle algo y no me salían las palabras. Al final me marchaba frustrado.
It's a bit of a rough week in new stuff with the lone exception being the exceptional Friday of new music we had. There are too many albums to even talk about and even more I want to listen to again.But I did my best to get through a few and share a few I thought stood out above the rest. I hope you check them out....
I walked around Red Hook, Brooklyn, with a friend on the afternoon of May 3, 2026. Our walk took us to Red Hook’s Valentino Pier, which has what may be Brooklyn’s best view of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. My friend, who is known in these pages for having rescued a stuffed bird in Williamsburg in the...
I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive. Meta: New AI measures to identify teens. Meta will use AI to scan photos and videos and detect people’s height and bone structure in order to place teenagers in age-appropriate...
Veamos cómo podemos acceder al centro de control Cockpit en openSUSE desde otro equipo Desde hace un tiempo estoy probando cockpit, el nuevo centro de control de openSUSE para gestionar el sistema. Aquí escribí cómo lo instalé:...
I’ve spotted this in a couple of places over the last few weeks and find it an interesting approach. You post a bit of JSON script on your site, and then someone can ‘vouch’ that you are human if they have the required browser extensions. I think I’ve got that right. I am not convinced. […]Thanks for reading and...
In 1945, shortly after his release from the concentration camps where his mother and brother had been murdered in the gas chambers, not yet knowing the love of his life was ailing with the typhus that would soon kill her, Viktor Frankl (March 26, 1905–September 2, 1997) sat down at his desk to compose what would...
(image courtesy of unknown artist) when life becomes something that you feel that you're constantly running behind on, "putting off": are you really living for yourself, or at all, anymore? i, once again, have been faced with the crushing company of blogger's block for a good while now. i've been wandering,...

Je me suis intéressé au sujet des biorégions après ma participation à un MOOC avec [L'Archipel Du VIvant](https://archipelduvivant.org/le-mooc-bioregion/)
Jack in the Green attendees sitting on Hastings West Hill. Photograph by the author. Yesterday was the Hastings Jack in the Green festival, an annual event marked by strange costumes, drinking, and a lot of the colour green. I wrote about last year’s event, and posted a lot of photographs of the 2023 event. Jack was...

There’s a guy who occasionally publishes reviews on Reddit that are honest, informed and non-monetized. I trust him and have in fact bought one of the things he recommended. I use it often, and I’m glad to have it. Lately, though, I’ve noticed something different about his reviews. They seem to flow a little better,...
I have to preface this with the fact that I am objectively bad at shooter games. Worse when I am on a team where my job is to assist. Last week my husband was playing ARC Raiders after work and mentioned the fact we never play videogames together. We really haven't played a co-op game since Diablo III and even then...
Two new pixel art, one is a commission for Aidia of a deer in the rain and another is a Pixel Joint challenge entry of pupae and a butterfly.
Forgive me, Reader. It’s been five months since my last vibe check. That’s a lot of ground to cover and it’s not possible to get into everything that happened. Like in real life conversations, instead of telling you how I’m doing, I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing these past few months. A trip to Seattle An...
Been indulging Edie of late. She was curiously watching me mow the grass through the window, so I let her out on the porch to enjoy the sunshine, take in the breeze, and roll around. + 1 photoReply via email
Should you ever be worried that displaying just one glyph could take almost 2 seconds and slow down your website by as much? Naw, of course not. This wasn’t a problem already in the 1980s and, in the lord’s year 2026, computers are pretty good at rendering a letter or a symbol at a moment’s notice. Ha. I was just...
Readers will be familiar with Mask-Step-Index (MSI) hash tables, a technique for building fast, open-addressed hash tables in a dozen lines of code. If multiple threads or processes access an MSI table with at least one still inserting elements, care must be taken to avoid data races. This article will show how to...
The polite version of China’s economic debate goes like this: optimists emphasize institutional capacity and monetary sovereignty; pessimists emphasize real constraints and debt; reasonable people occupy the middle ground and wait for more data. This framing is not wrong so much as it is cowardly—a description of...
Recently I checked my iCloud storage and found I'd used 31 GB of my 50 GB plan. Most of it — 17 GB — was backups. When I dug into the backup list, I found one for an iPad I no longer own. Nearly 6 GB, just sitting there. Deleted it, got the space back immediately. Worth checking your own backup list if you haven't...
In my last two blog posts, I discussed how I use greyscale mode on my phone and night shift on my computer. These blog posts were inspired by discussions happening in the IndieWeb community about greyscale, and now, more generally, how we use our phones.My phone, an iPhone, is an invaluable tool to me. Last year,...
2026-05-05Hello! First, a technical note: the homepage now only loads 30 images instead of 50 images. It used to have an infinite limit, but I'm on Day 88 now and I really don't want people scrolling so long — it probably causes accessibility nightmares. As always, a linked-text list is available for all...
April 2026. Skipton. Loads of pubs of all shapes and sizes in Skipton, and loads of disagreement over “the best”, whatever “best” means. I wanted to show Mrs RM the canal basin, as it’s where folk gravitate for boat trips and ice cream. They’ve named one of the ships after my musical heroine of 2025 ! It’s so posh...
There is a lot of hype around Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, and I’ve always wondered why. I knew from the summary that it was LitRPG, and those are hardly ever “mainstream.” I’ll be honest and say that I was never really won over by the hype or the concept of the books themselves, despite having a soft spot...
This was previously published in the Artificial Divide anthology I remember the first out-and-proud fiction book I read that included an openly gay character. Actually, this book had gone above and beyond. It was a gay utopia for me because some of the characters are also openly trans and proud of who they are. What...
It's a small thing, but here's round 2 of me vs Claude. This time I'm directing the agent to clean up the code that does word counts, getting it to use the Markdown to plain text code that exists in BlogMore, rather than the regex-based Markdown-stripper it was using. The approach it landed on made sense to me,...
Most of my friends pull out their phones even in the middle of the woods. I tend to roll my eyes and tolerate this. Merlin and PlantNet are certainly useful. But I grew up on field guides and conversations with more experienced naturalists. Instant AI-enabled possible-answers feel more like junk food info to me....
Problem statement: An ArgoCD application’s sync operation is stuck in Terminating for hours. The web UI shows operation is terminating due to timeout.

Another great afternoon playing ultimate on the beach and another great sunset. Technically this photo was from last week but I was too busy playing to get the sunset pic tonight. 😄
As you know, this month I am taking part in a World Record attempt, as part of Conquer Cancer Australia. These legends have been moving a baton around Princes Park since Saturday, with runners, joggers and walkers taking one-hour shifts. Some are even doing multiple hours back-to-back. They are supported by an...
