@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaLately, I’ve been feeling burned out by how much people in my life assume things about me and my beliefs, so let's talk about it.
I spend some parts (not all) of my evenings online, usually from around 20:00 to 22:00 or sometimes even until midnight (00:00), not because I am consumed by politics but because I like to learn and reflect on how society could be better. I enjoy exploring ideas about justice, solidarity, and human rights in a way that feels meaningful to me. For me, spe…

@brian_gettler@mas.toThe university holiday break :
In theory: A two- or (if you're lucky) three-week break for some much needed rest before diving back in in January.
In reality: There aren't enough hours over the break to finish what you didn't have time to finish in the fall and what needs to be done before the next term starts. Whatever you do, you'll come back more burned out than you left. Happy New Year!

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioA movie that is forever burned into my brain is Conspiracy (2001), which is a recreation of the Wannsee conference, were the Nazis decided to kill all Jews is Europe.
The banality of it while they haggle about questions of "legality" and having turf wars while they plan one of the biggest genocides in history is suffocating.
A very timely movie right now if you can stomach it.

@mlawton@mstdn.socialCold front arrives late tonight and the wind was certainly keen to hasten its arrival. Spitting rain at times, but happily any serious downpour never arrived.
Ran a quiet, pensive 7.5 km on the HS track. Heart ❤️ and lungs 🫁 felt great, but legs 🦵 were less willing. In all, the 4/1 run/walk intervals are helping. I look forward to being further along, but in the interim I can feel progress.
7.51 km in 59:30 for an average pace of 7:55/km.
@brichapman@mastodon.socialEver notice how you're watching your own life from a slight distance?
Not depressed. Not burned out. Just... slightly absent.
When overwhelm lasts longer than we can process it, we adapt by feeling less. We function but don't fully inhabit our days.
The long dissociation kept us safe when feeling everything wasn't possible.
But survival was never the same thing as being alive.
What would it mean to gently come back?

@teledyn@mstdn.caFinding a crate of ancient but precious CD-R and DVD-R's is like finding a chest of scrolls in the basement of a temple that burned down. There's a welcome prize, but many frustratingly missing fragments.
Back in 1994 when asked about the (very popular) bank of Compaq gaming machines packed with latest CDROMs being a core of the Information Highway exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre (god rest its soul), I would explain that the CDROM was a proxy for the bandwidth that was to come.
I think I got that more right than I knew: the CD-R/DVD-R is a TRANSPORT media, and certainly absolutely NOT a STORAGE media. It's charm is transport over very very very slow baud rates of perhaps 4GB/20 years. 😅

@pre@boing.worldThomas voegtlin talks about nostr spam. It's very censorship resistance means spam can't be stopped by moderators.
One way to stop spam is require proof of work before your client accepts a message. A large difficult hash.
But big hashing machines are more available to spammers than people.
Can't use likes or zaps cuz they can be faked with sybil attacks.
Instead: notaries and proveably burned satoshis.
Your public messages are classified as ham rather than spam if you burn enough money.
Nostr event types to prove it are suggested. Including burning to upvote others messages
Don't think I like deliberately burning the money, and seems to me a web of trust might work without doing that? Pay to post also peanizes there poor.
But it isn't really burned here, it's shaed out to miners to continue a subsidy when the block rewards run out. So paying miners and these notaries rather than really burning. Okay. Maybe better, but still makes messages mostly for the rich?

@mlawton@mstdn.socialTook a couple of rest days b/c I could feel my hamstring & feared possible injury. After a consideration of time spent in each HR zone over previous runs, it was clear that I was overdoing the pace, even with 4/1 min run/walk intervals. I ~could~ do that pace, but I ~should~ dial it back a bit & build fitness. Anaerobic all the time wasn’t helping.
Cold tonight, just below freezing and 25 mph (40 kph) winds gusting to 50 mph (80.5 kph).
@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaFinal tests in and the quality is outstanding. Going from the stock `svt-av1` encoder to the `svt-av1-psyex` encoder is already a nice bump in quality, and the encodes are faster using `av1an` due to using every ounce of the CPU. The `lsmash` speedup is nice as well as the stock method for chunking took a bit longer post-detection.
Also, can't say enough about the Ryzen 9 HX 370: did a great job with the encodes and only burned through ~24W during the encodes along with the Think…

@pre@boing.worldYou see a detective on the TV and he’s interviewing all the suspects asking them what they were doing on the night of the murder a month ago last Tuesday night.
And on the TV, the suspects all know. Right away.
If you asked me ten years ago though, I’d have had barely any clue. If you’re lucky it’d have been something planned in my calendar but mostly, dunno. Watching TV maybe? No idea what show. Was that a night I was in the pub?
As we all get older this problem increases I’m told. Eventually full on senility sets in.
But what if you have already built the habit to record what you’re doing? To be able to look back and revise and review how you spent your days? An external aid as a crutch to your own forgetful brain’s cortex?
So I started this Exocortex Log over a decade ago and now I can answer: Ten years ago on Tuesday I was having dinner with the guitarist from my band and his girlfriend and they burned the pudding.
The app has been half finished and barely able to even record let alone review for most of that time, but now it’s ready enough that someone else might use it too if they want.

@mlawton@mstdn.socialIrked because my watch showed 7.5 km (not that I was looking at it desperately or anything…) 😉
An afternoon meeting prevented my running in daylight on the greenway, so I headed over to one of the high schools to use their track. (My favorite track at the middle school is still all torn apart for some sort of culvert work. 😤)
One end is all pine trees and the fragrant smell each lap was lovely.
