Japan Daily on Instagram: "Residents in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district are reporting a surge in abandoned suitcases left in residential neighborhoods by foreign tourists. Security footage has captured individuals discarding old luggage late at night, likely after purchasing new replacements to transport souvenirs home. According to local regulations in Toshima Ward, items larger than 30 centimeters are classified as oversized waste and require a specific fee and advance reservation for pickup. Many of the abandoned items lack the necessary disposal stickers, creating a significant burden for local communities and sanitation services. Experts suggest that the rise of private lodging facilities contributes to the issue, as off-site owners may not provide guests with adequate instructions regarding waste disposal. To combat this trend, Haneda Airport has begun broadcasting multilingual warnings, and officials are currently considering new collection systems and potential penalties to manage unwanted luggage."

One of the typical scenes that we had throughout that day. The path wasn't always so well and broad like this. It often was narrow and more natural, but we also enjoyed walking along such sections.
The green was just amazing and calming. And I didn't even have to wait until there was noone else in the scene - it really isn't very frequented, so we could enjoy it all by our own

This image captures a serene and inviting forest path, evoking a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. A dirt trail, slightly uneven and covered in fallen leaves, winds its way through the lush greenery. The path is flanked by tall trees with dense canopies, their vibrant green leaves creating a natural tunnel that filters the sunlight, casting dappled light and shadow on the forest floor.
To the left of the path, a small stream or river is visible, its calm waters reflecting the surrounding…

Just finished "Future Home of the Living God" by Louise Erdrich. It's a beautiful and entrancing novel in many ways, but I couldn't bring myself to like the ending. I think in one of my most recent book posts I complained about a deus ex machina, so it's ironic that in this case as the pages dwindled I was fully prepared to accept and even welcome one, especially with all of the deus-related stuff going on already. I am left profoundly unsure as to whether Erdrich imagines a positive future beyond our current oppressions, or just futility, when for most of the book it seemed like the former, which is something I seek out in earnest these days. It is of course impressive that a book about innocents being hunted through the streets of Minneapolis & Saint Paul, while a volunteer citizens network organizes to keep them safe, could be published in 2017. There are strong echoes of Octavia Butler here, and in both cases I think it's a marginalized position which allows authors to see with clarity that most mainstream authors miss or don't even attempt.
I think I will seek out more of Erdrich's writing, but only after a bit of a break.

Lately I've been thinking about how #Gentoo is perceived by people. So often they're stuck in the "ricer" mindset: Gentoo is being built from source, so it must be ZOMG fast. And if it isn't, then what's the point?
If I were to make four points for Gentoo (to stop myself from making more), they would be:
1. Gentoo is independent.
There is no company behind Gentoo. There is no business plan. It's made and maintained by volunteers. Driven by passion and not profit incentive. And we want to keep it that way.
2. Gentoo aims to be secure.
We are maintaining our own infrastructure to reduce the risk of being hijacked. We're securing our distribution channels and mirrors using OpenPGP. We're only using Codeberg (which we really appreciate) and GitHub as mirrors (with OpenPGP commit signatures) and contribution channels. We have a dedicated security team, who works with the developers to keep packages free of vulnerabilities and our users informed.
3. Gentoo is made by humans.
We banned LLM contributions two years ago, and never regretted it. We didn't "wait and see", we took decisive action, and if we got left behind, it's only for the better. Unfortunately, in today's LLM-ridden world we can't stop slop software from being packaged in Gentoo without sacrificing our commitment to keep packages up to date, but we try to keep the worst offenders (like copywashed chardet) at bay.
4. Gentoo supports sustainability.
This may sound ironic when so many of us build everything from source, but we're actually trying to make computing sustainable. Gentoo's source-first nature makes it inherently flexible. We try our best to support a plethora of older and less common hardware. We go against the flow and still try to provide a workable system on hardware that is not supported by Rust or V8. And on top of that, we do our best to provide binary packages for a variety of configurations.
Of course, that's not all. I want Gentoo to be reliable and stable, to be oriented towards privacy by default, to be welcome and respectful.
And all these things ultimately depend on people working on Gentoo, and contributing to Gentoo. We always need more people that share these principles and want to help us achieve them.
What do you appreciate in Gentoo?

The Voting Rights Act ended Jim Crow. But now the Supreme Court — Chief Justice John Roberts’ Court — has effectively ended much of what’s left of the Voting Rights Act — setting the stage for voters of color to be silenced.

In 2018 while at baggage claim, I noticed signs about the new sexual offence laws — with a unique legal characteristic: these are extra-territorial crimes, i.e. you can break an Australian law for actions taken while entirely outside the jurisdiction, punishable when you return ("welcome home!")
While pondering the historic nature of this, who should wander by with his carry-on bags but Derryn Hinch (1944-today), Senator for only 2016-2019, but had a lot to do with this 👍

An electronic sign at an airport baggage claim, which states on a bold red background:

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
is an Australian crime even if you're overseas.
Up to 25 years' jail for overseas child sex offences and child abuse material offences.

Alright, finally done with the important bits. Got the scenes finished up for the most part, just gonna give up on chat. However, routing looks good as do the levels. Even the CRT line effect turned out pretty well though it's not gonna be exact. However, it does strongly resemble my JVC and I'd rather have that look on stream instead of the crunchiest/crispiest pixels possible.

This image captures a dramatic and enchanting scene inside a cave or rock formation, evoking a sense of adventure and mystery. The perspective is from the entrance of the cave, looking inward toward a natural opening in the rock wall. The cave's interior is dimly lit, with sunlight filtering through the trees outside, casting a soft, diffused glow on the rocky surfaces.
A stone staircase with metal railings leads upward, inviting the viewer to imagine exploring deeper into the cave. The stairca…

A wide-angle, low-angle shot of a vibrant blue sky filled with scattered white and grey cumulus clouds. In the lower right, a large, dark cloud partially obscures the sun, causing bright crepuscular rays (sunbeams) to radiate upward and outward into the clear blue expanse. Small, wispy cloud fragments are scattered across the center, and a faint, thin vapor trail from a plane is visible in the middle left. The overall lighting is bright and ethereal, suggesting late afternoon.

This morning I have mostly been truing the sawmill bed. The ground had obviously shifted a bit over winter, and it was no longer cutting perfectly true.
It's now cutting much better, although I am going to need to get my blades sharpened.
#TheJoyOfCrofting

The spirit level one of the bearers of the sawmill bed. The bearer is a rectangular section steel box beam, painted green. The ground beneath the sawmill bed is extremely littered with sawdust and scraps of wood.
Checking the alignment of the bearers, using a plank that has been cut to a straight edge. There are six bearers visible in the picture, of seven total. They span across between the rails on which the carriage that holds the saw runs. The carriage is visible at the left of the picture.
First timbers cut after truing, lying on the bed of the mill. The cuts are slightly wavy because the blade is not sharp, but it is cutting to consistent thickness.
