So farewell then Pinetime Watch 🪦.
It isn't showing any signs of charging. even after a completely-flat battery reset. Last hope gone.
Now nobody at all is running my custom software I think, and I have no way to fix the bugs.
Could replace it, but I'm not really paying any attention to the things it measures anyway. Heartrate is too unreliable to be useful and steps seems likely to be counting my leg-jiggles since I tend to hit 10,000 most days without trying or leaving the flat.
The software which tracks my time and mood is probably better running on the phone really. Easier to add notes and detail. Can't really input text from a watch. Location data can be added in ways the watch couldn't.
So back to not wearing a watch at all I think. Who needs it now we all carry pocket watches with internet and telephony.

I really know nothing about babies. I'm not like, a fan or anything. A friend just had a baby and I thought "I'll sew a bib, babies drool a lot!". I printed a pattern, cut it, and sewed it. It came out pretty good! Until I looked a little more closely and saw that I had somehow printed the pattern at 1/2 scale. Unless this baby has a 2" neck, this thing isn't going to fit. Ooops. Back to the cutting board.

Well I'm glad I got one NAS backing up to the other last week because I accidentally wiped my Jellyfin library last night.
A long running rsync command got everything back in place. Whew!
I'm 37 years old and I finally finished a #JRPG game for the first time in my life ( #SeaOfStars ).
I like them a lot, but I often get bored of the grinding, or I have to leave it for some time and when I come back I don't remember what I was doing.
Why I managed to finish it this time? Because I had more important, stressing and boring things to do instead, and my brain demanded procrastination. #ADHD
Some thoughts:
- While the "mini" part of minirack might be debatable for this build, the footprint of my Proxmox cluster has become miniscule when compared to the size of three full-sized ATX builds.
- The Minisforum MS-A2s are very warm bois. Keeping the cables clear from behind the server nodes will pay off tons later as the hot air is unobstructed.
- Putting those massive power bricks into the bottom of the minirack is not going to work. I'm not sure exactl…

After the recent Giant Bomb news, Vinny, Brad, and Alex went into the ups and downs of the site and pulled back the curtain: they were shareholders and reluctant to sell to CBS, profitability, the motivation for Papa Vinny's Pizza Party, how Vinny found the money to hire Abby and Ben, shutting down GBeast, RV acquisition. For a longtime fan, it was an interesting trip.

Hi, it's Representative Jasmine Crockett.
I really hope you read this -- not for me, but for my friend.
People are scared, frustrated & downright mad about all that is being taken away from us.
Some people are just sitting around and letting it happen,
but not Esther.

The Klamath has long been my favorite river in California (and a bit of Oregon.)
A week ago I was at the mouth of the Klamath in Redwood National Park/Prairie Creek State park.
I'm glad the Coho salmon are returning to the Klamath so quickly (of all the varieties of salmon, Coho is my favorite. The creek behind my house once supported Coho, but they are essentially gone, although there are occasional reports.)
"My experiences of connection with God and others in the church have kept me coming back. I am hoping against hope that the 21st century church can be an experiential community for the future, a place that more and more people can turn to for a mysterious experience of eternal resonance."

Trying to validate as many things as I can on kup-lulz before copying most of the schematic onto the switch engine board.
Something funky is happening with the QSPI boot flash and I'm not sure if hardware, software, or what.
I can connect to the flash and detect it ok, erase and blank check OK, and even read back.
But when I try to *program* it, Vivado hangs at 1%. Have not yet tried programming from my own gateware/software or booting from it.
Way back in 2022, as the world tried to readjust back to "normal" following COVID - I helped to co-organise a bootcamp with sponsorhop from the @… IASC, @… and a generous dollop of help from @… and @… colleagues.
We gathered 10 senior scientist mentors and 22 students in an old torpedo research station (now used by Roskilde University) for 10 days. It was an extremely intense period but the 4th paper produced by this talented group has just come out.
I consider facilitating #EarlyCareerScientists to work on important science problems an extremely rewarding part of my job, and I'm looking forward to the next one already as part of our PISCO project.
In the mean time, go and read this extremely cool work, collecting together a huge number of radiosonde observations going back to the 1950s over the Arctic Ocean and using them to assess how well CMIP6 models represent lower atmosphere.

I'm mad at websites that use code that make Firefox unusable. I'd prefer to use one browser, but at some sites I've found that links don't work as soon as one link have been clicked. All links are unclickable when I go back to an earlier side in the browser. Hi cromium, and thus, hi second set of plug-ins/extensions...

How the Bochum dish lost the signal from #Resilience at 19:15:33 UTC which would be 1 to 2 minutes before the nominal landing time. It never came back - while on the webcast, which just aborted, they didn't say *anything* and refer to a news briefing in a few hours. Same crisis (non-)communication as two years ago, I'm afraid ...

MORAG: What we need is something to discredit him. If he could be deported to Cygnus Alpha .... Doctor, am I right in thinking you can create experiences, implant them into a subject, who will then believe that they really happened?
HAVANT: Of course. In fact, creating an illusion of reality is quite simple.
As a long-time user of BSD-derived Unix environments (from BSD 4.2 to Ultrix to NeXTSTEP to macOS), I confess that one of my biggest annoyances with non-BSD systems is that they don't support Control-T to report the status of the running command (via SIGINFO).
(Thinking back, I suppose I originally got used to this on VMS. I'm surprised nobody has added Control-T to Linux yet, but with their System V heritage they never had SIGINFO and I guess folks don't miss something the…
Getting packed for a week long motorcycle camping trip. I leave tomorrow. This is a much much needed break.
First night I'll be camping in Point Pleasant, WV and visiting the Mothman museum. After that, heading over to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, then looping down through Tennessee, North Carolina and back into West Virginia where I'm planning to spend a couple of days exploring sites like Audra State Park and Blackwater Falls. I'll be posting photos from the trip here…
So, all decks red alert. It seems for my future job I can't use but need to use either Mac or Windows.
I can't be assed to use that go back to that pile of sh*t that windows it nowadays and I have no experience with Mac and honestly don't want any.
So I guess Mac would be the choice, right? At least its said to be stable and most stuff can be done with the same shell.
I'm just a bit horrified by the outlook and would appreciate any tips on how to approach …

Back when I was living in Bristol it was barely conceivable that one day through traffic might be removed from Park Street. And, on top of that, real segregated cycling facilities through the Triangle!
Drivers nearly killed or injured me many, many times on these sections of road. I'm happy that future users will not have to go through that.

I participated in a Stacks #crypto test a few years back and was granted a small amount of #STX for my participation. It's not much, but I was keeping it at #Okcoin.
Recently I received an email informing me that Okcoin was rebranding as #Okx and what is odd is that I have to withdraw
all my crypto from Okcoin and then deposit it into Okx. Ummm, why? Isn't it the same business?
In any case I'm going to withdraw it but planning on moving it elsewhere.
Weird.
