If I have time at some point, I might make it into a tutorial.
Enjoy!

The ecological impacts of "AI" are bad but if people only used it intentionally, they'd stay there. But with every provider, every search engine, every website firing up some chatbot or summarizer even when not asked it quickly turns from bad to monstrous. "Just integrate an LLM, see if people like it" is like leaving your ICE-powered SUV running because someone might enjoy some cool air inside.

Was in Japan übrigens so nebenbei zum Thema gemacht wird:

Japan Daily on Instagram: "For the first time in Japan, foreign nationals have begun driving local bus routes under the Specified Skilled Worker program to address severe labor shortages. Tokyo Bus launched the initiative on December 23 in Tokyo and Okinawa, hiring five drivers from the Philippines after long-term training. The company says even higher wages have not attracted enough domestic drivers, making outside talent necessary. New drivers initially operate with support from Japanese staff and are expected to work independently after several months. Industry leaders hope the move will stabilize bus services and ensure passenger safety. Public understanding and continued training will be important as Japan adapts to workforce shortages in essential public services. @YAHOO"

The case for my 28g QRP dual-ported (9:1 and 49:1) unun cracked from tightening one of the terminal screws too tight, and from having printed the box with too few perimeters, so it wasn't really strong enough. I had designed it so that the coax was integrated into the case, so I had to cut the case apart to remove the still-functional electrical components for re-use.
At least this gave me a chance to confirm that I hadn't blown up the ferrite from overheating it!

I figure even if it is someday possible for the transhumanists to upload themselves into a machine, it will be a nightmare attempting to later transplant themselves into the new improved updated wow machine that will someday replace it!
Folks who balk about Mastodon not letting you migrate your entire presence elsewhere likely have never tried to extricate their personal workflow from a 15 year old laptop! 😅
That is, of course, AFTER previously spending an hour or so to weed out the about:config AI functions and add no-AI search engines to the fresh Firefox install 😞
Yes, I have contemplated installing Emacs and nothing else. Would seem the only sensible thing to do, but 'sensible' was never listed on my report card.

In the final instalment of Recommendations From a Fat Guy (I've Eaten More Than You Have) for 2025: *THIS TEA*. Do you enjoy flavors that are like a sock filled with pennies delivered directly to your lower jaw? Is Anchorage, Alaska in reach for you? Or can you afford to order tea on the Internet? Good news! Go to `The Kobuk` and buy this! And if you can't get to Alaska, buy some SERIOUS black tea (Barry's, etc., not your weak American bullshit, or use like 4 bags bullshit/cup) a…

Wow! I just received a report from another mastodon instance for violating that instance's rule against "Profiting/benefiting from the destruction of the planet and society." That's a little extreme.

#Upcoming Help kickstart a release of “Symphony No. 4” by Glenn Branca! This piece has never been released because there was never a good enough recording. A live performance from 1983 has been found, featuring Glenn’s custom built Harmonic Series instruments with Stefan Wischerth, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Dan Witz, the late Barbara Ess, Margaret DeWys, Amanda Linn, and Greg Letson.
