I couldn't decide what to do today and where to go. I got up too late for a longer hike due to the heat. In the end I just got on my bike and followed the road and pushed myself for some training effect.
It was a really enjoyable ride except for the last 10km where the heat got really annoying.
Is this a #silentsunday contribution? I think so... No talking, less thinking, j…

fuck man, kane parsons is actually 20 years old? the director of a franchise i've loved watching for years, now creator of a24's top grossing movie of all time, is actually two years younger than me? my understanding of growth and self worth is limited to a faulty capitalist logic of so-called meritocracy, ignoring all privileges, advantages, or even luck, fueling an inferiority complex in which i can only justify me being less successful than him by thinking of myself as lesser, despite tha…

Folk who've been following me for a long time will remember that last autumn I was posting pictures of doing the joinery for a new workshop. And then I went mad, and got ill, and for most of this year there's been no progress.
But my friend Lucy has been here for a week, and between the two of us the frame is now erected. Now I need to sort the timber stack (which hasn't been improving while I've been ill), erect a roof, and build some walls. But the bit I couldn't …

How Trump and Musk made the Nepal disaster worse, by glaciologist dr Heïdi Sevestre:
"What about early warning systems?"
SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya, a joint initiative by NASA, USAID and ICIMOD monitoring, had mapped landslide and flood hazard in these valleys since 2010.
The Trump administration’s aid freeze cut it in January 2025."

I want to throw companies who force login via emailed timed codes over a bridge. If they only have a username/e-mail field without a password field ready right away, I want to light them on fire. If they offer the option to add TOTP 2FA but still do the previous two, I want to crush them in one of those things for compacting trash. Kickstarter would be a little burning cube falling from a bridge, incidentally.

Want the world to change? That's easy from the couch.
But do you actually enjoy the changing part when it shows up in your own life?
The uncertainty we fight against is the same thing as the possibility we want. They're not separate. They're one thing felt from both sides.
What if the falling apart is the doorway?

A temporary pool pump, a replacement pump, some major menu changes, and the beginning of a project I’ve wanted to tackle for years: digitizing my old 8mm home movies.
The first reel dates from 1961 and includes my parents, my infant brother, and several other relatives. I’ve had these films since around 2000, so finally seeing what survived all those years—and seeing some family members who are no longer with us—was pretty special.

Sometimes I run into a bug and it takes me a solid hour or more to convince myself that it’s a bug. I do not want to believe that someone made such a mistake…
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2261 for example, has been “fixed” at least twice. but it’s still broken.

What a morning and long day it was last week! Was already out & about for 3 hours when I got to this place, earlier mostly taking hundreds of images of the nearby (~500m away) Breslauer Hut and vicinity during sunrise... The first large (and loud) group of people already got up at 4AM, getting ready for climbing Wildspitze, another group left an hour later, as did I. Maintenance/repair works on the hut continued at 08:30, taking lots more pictures to document, interviewin…

Had quite an adventure in hardware debugger land at @… Mesh Night, last night, but we managed to get the bootloader onto this board by way of a Pi Pico Zero and the debugprobe firmware (after failing to make the Tigard do what we needed—certainly our fault, not Tigard’s).
Fun little project. Really rewarding to see it work, despite being way out of our depth on …
