Over the past year or so my fatigue has been getting significantly worse. It’s almost always brought about by post-exertional malaise, which is one of the keystone symptoms of ME/CFS, which has no known treatment, just mitigations at best. And the core mitigation is to not overexert oneself.This presents a problem,...

Recently, James Hoffmann conducted a coffee fermentation project, along similar lines to his previous decaf project. Since this project was based entirely around caffeinated coffee, and I am quite caffeine-sensitive, I opted to just do this as a risky “drink one cup every few days” thing rather than a formal...

I’ve had the same phone for the past five years, an iPhone 13 Pro which I bought for two reasons: My previous phone’s (iPhone 12 Mini) battery was worn out and had become worn out super quickly I wanted the LiDAR sensor for the work I was doing at the time Anyway, it still does everything I need in a phone (which...

I mostly love the town I live in, except that I really miss living in a more urban area with good walkability and transit.I also love being in the Seattle area, except that everything feels so far away because of the transit situation. And when I do end up in the city I get so fed up with the constant presence of...

I made some changes to rss2discord, most notably: Now it batches updates into a single post It lets you provide a custom message which can be used to send a role ping or the like I am mostly posting this blog post to test the latter in production on my server, but also it’s nice to have more visibility for...

So the Steam Frame pricing is finally announced. 256GB for $1059, 1TB for $1299. I have Thoughts. Currently I use a Bigscreen Beyond and a bunch of basestations. The basestation tracking quality is awful and has been getting worse over time, and I definitely want to switch to inside-out tracking. Also I’ve been less...

I will be performing at Song Fight! Live!, which is in Seattle again this year, on Saturday, and I am also looking forward to seeing those who are coming from out of town this year. (And the in-town folks, who I seem to only actually see at Song Fight! Live! anyway.) I am woefully out of shape and in so much chronic...

So, I’ve been no fan of Gumroad for quite some time, and now they’ve gone even further all-in on using AI for everything and being especially gross about it.Here’s some alternatives that are worth considering. Ko-FiIt’s what I use for my main shop these days. Their pricing is quite nice: 5% cut for transactions on...

A couple days ago, the fucking crawlers ramped up their efforts to get past my 429 error page, so I finally set up a fail2ban rule that would block anything that kept on poking at things.Hoo boy that was the wrong thing to do. When the bot farms started to detect that I was blocking them at the IP level, they...

Folks were looking for a centralized website for Chorus which wasn’t just the repository, so today I threw together another site, MecaGorp, which will be hopefully where I put all future information about Chorus/Canimus and its related efforts. There’s a lot more stuff to add but in the meantime it’s at least a...

xkeeper posted a blog post about their issues running TCRF.On a related note, here’s my webserver’s HTTP response code stats for today, across all of my websites:fluffy@nautilus[/var/log/nginx] fluffy$ cut -f3 -d\" access.log | cut -f2 -d\ | sort | uniq -c | sort -n 3 408 4 502 4 503 10 410 20 504 56 307 60 403 165...

A few days ago I happened upon this video about visual snow syndrome and I watched it even thinking that it was kinda clickbaity, since I always figured that visual snow syndrome is something that a lot of people have and it’s not a big deal.But it actually made me realize that there’s a lot of stuff that’s possibly...
