This year, all hallows and Halloween happens on the same night. One is a spooky feast for children and the other is a solemn time when we're remembering those who have gone before us.
We can do both. Because that's life.
The graveyards are incredibly beautiful and quiet, and the candles are burning in the darkness. Now it's time to get the child from her party.
Because we can, and must, hold both joy and sadness with the same hand, in one heart.

“we might have framed out a boat or a buoy or gone: ‘Oh, actually … the water conditions are not really good enough for this.’” Instead, this time they’re leaving it all in to show a more authentic, organic version of the oceans.

@… Would it be more of a mindfuck if they realized the fake 3D world was itself a re-creation of real life, meaning we’ve gone full circle?
I am at loss for words.
Sir Patrick Stewart will always have a place in my heart, even if his voice has gone quiet.
Watch Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5, Episode 25, 'The Inner Light', and Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 2, Episode 9, 'The Measure of a man', and think of him. Look at the brilliance he brought to the series.
The dignity.
One of my absolute favourite actors of all time has left us, and the world is poorer for it.

Do I become a bit more cyborg or not?
Endo says my excuse about pumps and tubing is gone with the Omnipod 5 and really wants me to consider it. Says I will love it once I get used to it.
So what say those who use one?
Not real sure I want to trust tech to keep me alive or not but am tempted.

Yes, important to note that the plot is entirely from a Confederate POV. It’s a throwaway plot — not as problematically soaked in Confederate Lost Cause nostalgia as, say, Gone With the Wind, merely an absurdity situated in Civil War Georgia — but it’s definitely one of those films you see for the filmmaking and not for the story. And it’s definitely one to skip if you’re not willing to compartmentalize that (which to be clear is a perfectly reasonable refusal to make).

My only unpleasant encounter in France was with a taxi-driving vatnick who said that in his past life he visited Vilnius in the 1990s, how dangerous it was, and how beautiful modern-day Moscow is. I corrected him, pointing out that in the 1990s, Vilnius was under the siege of the Russian mafia, and with them gone, it is safer than Bordeaux. I agreed Moscow is indeed more beautiful when Ukrainian drones set fire to it.
Hmmmm, most of the day (and a pot of coffee) has gone, and I've only knocked a few items off the DO TODAY list...
(There was an interesting rabbit hole involving #RepairCafé https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bse.70789 that absorbed a little time...)
Time to empty the dishwasher!
Also shows the risk of #selfhosting - all my services are gone for the moment. Good: I have backups of the proxmox VMs. Bad: The proxmox cluster doesn’t have a quorum anymore, so I can’t start them on the remaining machine 🙃. May have to drop an old Pi into the cluster to get back to quorum so I can do stuff again until I the machine gets repaired or replaced.
I feel like a new human being back to work after a vacation. Burnout gone! Everything feels easy! Tasks are exciting!
Rest is great. I am so glad I’m not as much of a workaholic as I used to be.

I don't really understand what Omarchy even is, other than a front for corporations to donate money to fascism.
It sounds like it's not even a full distro really, just Arch with a bunch of config files?
I mean: If you can get millions of pounds for your config these days, my config is:
Three-key keyboard shortcuts for:
They are all ctrl-alt and keys around J on the keyboard. I move my windows around like a wizard.
5x2 virtual desktops. Move between them with ctrl-alt left/right/up/down. Shift to carry the current window as you move.
The desktop configuration is:
Main:
One-Desktop-left, messenger screen:
Telegram will be phased out. Nearly done.
One desktop right, lights.
One desktop down: Godot-coding.
Diagonal right-down: Steam.
Diagonal left-down, spreadsheets.
Rarely active really.
The other desktops are for sundry tasks as and when they might arise.
The OS is on the root of the hard-drive and /home/pre is mounted from a set of zfs drives that frankly need rethinking and reorganizing.
Directories in there:
In /pub we have basically the Jelly-fin formats with side-directories.
In /doc we have
Vimwiki is my opinionated choice for personal journal and reference notes. It is amazing and I should have gone with markdown from the start but it's still all in vimwiki syntax.
I will post the basic structure of the vimwiki only if this post gets 50 boosts or thousands of dollars in donations.
It is several levels deep with symlinks into the project directories.
Then of course there's the server-config which there's flavours of, and the way those servers are backed up, and the themes for the things.
Nextcloud, ttrss, goto-social, mastodon, peertube. I got servers running 'em all.
Can I get me some of those fascist dollars if I publish my config for mixing gotosocial with a static website to combine a social and web identity into one?
It's basically just an nginx config and a hugo run and some scripts.
If I install all that and snapshot it can I have the millions of fascists money please?

And Rubin is completely correct: if you’re looking to make money through business, then Trump is an •enormous• risk to your wealth. The only way to enrich yourself in his world is as an authoritarian lackey, a loyal vassal of a mafia state. He’ll tank this wealth-pumping juggernaut we call “the economy.” Even if he’s gone in 2.5 years, the damage he’d do to civil society through an election goes up in flames would harm business interests for…a generation if we’re •lucky•.

So Labour's down only four points from the general election, from 49% down to 45%.
The Green's have tripped their vote from like 10% to like a third.
Massive swing towards green, but not enough to take the seat. Needs another 1500 people to change their mind.
Obviously all the media will say this means Burnham is winning and Zack has to go. I hope not. He's doing great.
No way to really find out how it would have been different if the Zionism motion had gone the other way.
