Oh, today is my iTunes Match-iversary. I pay Apple ~$30CAD annually for them to store and sync my 30 year old digital music collection of like ... 100GB and counting.
Looks like I wrote about it last year.
Most of my music purchases are Bandcamp/indie these days and uploaded to my home Ampache. https://bsky.ap…

Green banana flour. This was made from Cavendish bananas, green but fully rounded out, sliced about 5mm thick and dried at 58C (dehydrator using solar power) for about 8 hours, then milled in my new (to me) op shop Vitamix. It's a lovely fine silky flour. It takes about 40 Cavs to make a kilo of flour, so well worth it. #permaculture

My brother has a bunch of old family photos. He’s taken pics of some of them and used photoshop’s AI nano banana pro on them.
This is my paternal great-grandmother. Name and dates unknown, but definitely sometime in the 18th century. I’ll add a name and dates if/when my brother sends them.
