I’ve already posted most of the following photos in my first post about Sicily, but here they are all again, along with the ones I’m not using as header images. Colours and shapes… you know what I mean ;)
Well, my impulse purchase of Damien Wilkins's Max Gate turned out to be a good one. Since I last mentioned it, I have finished reading it (at my usual snail's pace), and found it thoroughly enjoyable (apart from a few jarring anachronisms – 'Okay', 'in denial', 'basically'). It's actually the second Thomas...
I asked my wife this morning to have a look at my Astro site and to give me some feedback. She said it was easy enough to navigate and that she liked the light mode colours. She didn't understand the purpose of the /Style page, but concurred she wouldn't be in the audience of people who would find that sort of thing...
There are two wolves inside of me, lol. Some days I want to be a “designer”. Other days I want to be a “developer”. On the days I find myself wanting to feed the developer, it’s often because making something “work” seems easier (and more impressive) than making something “good”. Making something function often...
I. The Height of the Mark The soil-reader came to the Vask terrace on the third morning after thaw, chalk in a tin box, an assistant to carry the ladder. Odrun stood in his doorway with Sennet beside him and watched the man measure the wet ground with a bare foot — heel to the channel, toes to the sill, the old...
"A great deal of feminist theory and literature has nevertheless assumed that there is a 'doer' behind the deed. Without an agent, it is argued, there can be no agency and hence no potential to initiate a transformation of relations of domination within society." (Gender Trouble) The feminist problems which, at...
Setup a Simple, Self-Hosted Web Server with OpenBSD 2026-07-18 This website is being served to you from my HP T630 thin client, running OpenBSD and httpd. Pretty cool, right? And best of all you can do the same! I’m going to walkthrough how to host your own websites locally on OpenBSD. This guide is going to be kept...
Re: The most American thing about me is the coffee I told him I think of coffee the same way I think of beer. Is it the best tasting? No. Can it be bitter? Yes. But it's weak enough that you can drink several cups of them and get a nice buzz without overdoing it. I would never, for example, drink 5 shots of vodka,...
Ideea de a scrie liber despre viața de zi cu zi, fără să porți mereu grija consecințelor, e atrăgătoare. Dar anonimatul real pe internet nu se rezumă la a alege un pseudonim. E un lanț de decizii, iar orice verigă slabă anulează tot restul. Mai jos e o parcurgere completă a lanțului, de la sistemul de operare până...
The second part with the free wedding ceremony is now also finished. It was such a nice day, thanks to everyone who was there, helped, and made this day the best day in our lives! Cheers on our love and now also our marriage! 🥂♥️ Interactions & Comments
Canon de cámara oscura crea en el lector una tensión sutil, pero persistente: ¿Está Vidal Escabia, el narrador, construyendo realmente su Canon literario personal e intempestivo, o hay otra inteligencia junto a él, trabajando en la oscuridad? Quiero creer que, cada vez más, mi obra es un puente entre la lógica y el...
Currently reading this book and enjoying it so far. In here a facist party seize power in Ireland. It’s told from the perspective of a woman with multiple children. Interesting and current topic in our political situation with the rise of racist and facist parties around the world.
Are you nervous? / There's no point in being nervous now. / Ha, you're right. / It's like, I'm already here, so I might as well get on with it. / Well, that's one way to look at it. / So it is. / Come on. / Oh, wow, you're right, there really is a huge sign. / You just don't pay attention. / Or maybe I'm just new. /...
On day 4 we spent less time driving and more hiking! Starting from Gößweinstein, through lush forests, discovering a cave and walking along the river Wiesent. And some history on the way as well!
Robert Jon & the Wreck at The Tin Pan I have lived in RVA, and before that Fredericksburg, for over 20 years. I have looked at shows at The Tin Pan on multiple occasions. Every time I passed, because the idea of seeing a loud rock and roll show in a dinner club atmosphere just didn't appeal to me. A couple of months...
Set in the near future, a detective accused of murdering his wife has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge. Welcome to the future. Set in a future where you’re considered guilty until proven innocent, under permanent monitoring in a surveillance-ruled society, it’s in a very-near future that is...
A photographic journey through the design principles of a whimsical wonderland.
Opettelin kirjoittamaan fiktiota, selittämättömiä tarinoita. Se on mielestäni fiktion ja asiatekstin, tai tietokirjallisuuden suurin ero. Fiktiossa tarinaa ei selitetä ja kirjoitus ymmärretään tarinaksi.
Fazia tempo que eu não via alguns filmes de terror ou suspense, mas na última semana eu acabei vendo dois filmes do Kurosawa Kiyoshi que é um diretor que tem filmes extremamente interessantes, não necessariamente bons mas, novamente, EXTREMAMENTE interessantes. Kairo e Cure estão entre os mais famosos e ele também...
I tend to punish other people in a very specific way. If they do me wrong, I want to let them know. I want them to owe me one, even if it doesn't make the situation better. It is purely because it puts me in a position of power. Now they have to redeem themselves; they have to gain my favor again. And I can decide...

Imagine, just for a moment, a world without White people. If you’re White, this will be an exercise in empathy… That’s exactly what the book Sky Full of Elephants invites you to do. The story takes place one year after an event causes every single White person in America, children included, to mysteriously walk into...
2026-07-18Hello!I wanted to capture how rays of sunlight can serve as a highlighting marker, drawing my attention to certain areas within this forest.Sunlight shone through the leaves and found this open spot, hitting the leaves and branches on the way down. It made for an interesting shot, with bright spots and...
I close my eyes and listen to the church bells reverberate through the city — the air, the street, the park; the hearts.Usually when I go into a bookshop, I find myself looking at all the books. Often, for nothing in particular, but rather to see what is new. Who knows what I might find; what stories might stand out...
In this ~22-minute video I explain how Emacs performs completion in a buffer. I cover what happens behind the scenes with the variable completion-at-point-functions. Then I also go to the frontends, which affects the modalities of interaction. I cover t built-in Completions buffer, the packages Corfu and Company,...
Have you head of the Swiss Cheese model? You see it sometimes in descriptions of how complex systems fail. The visual usually goes like this: The whole idea is: even if you have multiple layers of safety – like many slices of cheese – there are always holes in each slice. Typically, a hole in any slice is covered by...
♠ TIL: brew pin. For reasons to be elaborated in another post, I am currently prevented from upgrading LogSeq to its latest version in homebrew: % brew outdated [...] logseq (0.10.14) != 2.0.1 [...] LogSeq v2 introduces breaking changes to my workflow. I found this out the hard way. As put by Valodim in HN: And now...
Rogallo v0.10.0 is now available. This release has a number of changes, including some new features, some changes to the user interface, and a couple of quality-of-life improvements. Maximum document width Amongst some feedback someone left on a slightly unrelated post over on station there was mention of how a...
Acabo de implementar algo en mi blog: un pequeño indicador que dice “Respondiendo a” cuando un post mío es en respuesta a otro post, ya sea de alguien más o uno propio. En algún momento pienso platicar los detalles técnicos de cómo lo armé, pero este post es más bien para hablar de la idea en sí, porque son esas...
