Was on a flight today. Tried to play #PillarsOfEternity in the #SteamDeck and the default controls were unplayable. Switched to #BaldursGate3 and started a new drow barbarian. Fun to play but it drags on the Deck.

I'm slowly (very slowly) cleaning up and removing my presence from US cloud companies.

Today, I'm addressing the amount of potentially sensitive personal information out of Amazon Glacier. Once, it was an ideal "3rd place, offsite" backup solution to pair with my local machines copies and my in-home NAS. Now, it just seems like an ongoing expense and honeypot for exploitation.

I log into the AWS console - and you can only delete a vault via the API or CLI? Are you kidding me?

I treated myself to a new game for my Atari Jaguar!

Jumping at Shadows by the ever-prolific Reboot Games is a wonderful platform adventure game with some beautiful level design.

I highly recommend buying this one from AtariAge!

Knocker Kit
Yep, it does what it says.... It knocks on doors, and other things too.

A kit that will drive single external solenoid to "knock" on doors, tables or anything. A range of different cadences are available selectable by the 'prog' button. Selected knocking cadence is saved even when pow... Read More - https://extkits.co.uk/door-knocker-kit

This morning I thought, hey nobody is using the Internet, I can do a quick update of my #pihole to version 6.

Welp that went sideways. While the upgrade worked for the most part, my custom DNS didn't get transferred over so that broke most of my internal services. I coudn't find any simple way of re-importing it. I could tell pihole to use the generated list from DNSMASQ but it doesn't show up in the WebUI.

I forward to my DNS to a local unbound services and always thought I should have my local DNS there so I figured I would take the chance. A few bash one-liners later to convert the files to unbound config. A records works but not CNAME. Found out that between unbound just gives DNSMASQ the CNAME then does nothing else with it, it doesn't follow through to resolve the A record.

Another one liner to convert the CNAME to A records and everything is working....

Now, do I table flip and try replacing pihole with something like adguard? Would be easier now then ever.

This new @TechConnectify video is fantastic; it may start slow for some not familiar with Alec's style. However, those that stick with it will see a fantastic connecting-of-the-dots to so much current event dysfunction.

@jjesse I'm not a memes person, the sports, especially NHL & the Blackhawks will be tough, but my favorite sports analysts & writers are on Bluesky so that is nice. My only problem with Bluesky is it is just another doom scrolling echo chamber, though the #3dprinting and #fountainpen crowds are legit there.

I've seldom seen a meme capture an entire ideology this well. Kudos.

A portrait of a stellar jay.

Came across this beautiful stellar jay during an autumn hike up in the alpine. The fall colours of the foliage provided such a pleasant background.

@pluralistic "$10,000/gallon, meaning that you print out your grocery lists with colored water that costs more than the semen of a Kentucky Derby winner." Nothing beats a great analogy.

Everybody needs a paper hex calculator. Make yours today!

Stop saying “artificial intelligence”. (And “neural networks” too.)

Be more specific. Say “reinforcement learning”. Say “generative modelling”. Say “Bayesian filtering”. Say “statistical prediction”.

These are incredibly useful tools that have nothing to do with “intelligence”.

And say “model trained on plagiarised data”.

Say “bullshit generator”.

Say “internet regurgitator”.

These are also nothing to do with intelligence, but they have the added bonus of being useless, too.

Any #pdx folks have favorite places to volunteer? A friend of mine here in #Portland wants a list of volunteer opportunities for her birthday, which I think is awesome.

For #marchintosh and #globaltalk , I am running a RealAudio and RealVideo server. If you wanna remember and experience what streaming in the 90s was like, head on over to http://68kradio.ddns.net ! The site has been tested on MacWeb 2.0 and NetScape 2.0, and yes, you can listen on a 68k Mac! A PowerPC is recommended for the best experience.

There are some serious reasons why you still need to be on Meta platforms: it's your last link to family members, or your support system, or you live in a small town.

I wrote about how to stay on while limiting Meta's ability to surveil you or use your information against you.

tl;dr Boring users, who don't generate clicks or behavioral data, are unprofitable users.

I just released a new episode of my musician podcast talking with one of the creators of @mirlo an alternative to established platforms like Bandcamp, providing musicians with an easy way to upload their music and sell both albums and merchandise. https://www.lorenzosmusic.com/2025/02/simon-vansintjan-of-mirlo.html

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

The Starlink threat connected to the so called mineral deal (=extortion, robbery) is the last drop. The US appears to be in an alliance of sorts with the russians - and against Ukraine and Europe. An alliance of autocrats. It's just disgusting beyond belief, and incredibly dangerous.

Fiddling with improved Open Graph support for hosted blogs. I’ve never liked how most social platforms use Open Graph previews. Sometimes they’re great, sometimes they’re redundant, and sometimes they’re plastered over a timeline like ads. But bloggers need more control over this.

Goal: make a chicken coop for <$200

We have a lot of leftover material and our neighbor had to replace their roof and are letting us have a piece of their old one so we really think it's possible.

Anyways I'm more confident about the budget goal than the goal to finish before the end of March lol

Prepping for this season by making seed tape 🥕
While somewhat finicky, it ensures good plant spacing and cuts down on the low to the ground work that can strain your back.

The seeds are attached to the paper with a homemade starch glue (1:1 flour and water)

Starlink är helt avgörande för Ukraina. Detta innebär att man aktivt ger Putin enorma fördelar i kriget. Det finns en särskild plats i helvetets rövhål för den som utpressar ett angripet land för egen vinnings skull. Fy fan vad jag känner avsky
