ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white image of a utility pole overwhelmed by a chaotic tangle of wires. The wires loop, twist, and hang in various directions, some appearing disconnected or frayed. The dense mass of cables creates a visual maze, suggesting poor maintenance or infrastructure overload. The pole itself is weathered, and the scene hints at potential hazards. The image emphasizes the complexity and disorder of urban electrical systems. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了一根电线杆被大量杂乱电线缠绕的…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome image of a deteriorating urban area. A brick wall with peeling paint stands in the background, partially damaged and surrounded by scattered bricks and debris. A concrete curb runs along the bottom edge, and a manhole cover is visible nearby. Overgrown weeds and plants emerge from cracks in the pavement. Electrical boxes mounted on metal frames and a chain-link fence suggest infrastructure. The scene evokes neglect and decay, contrasting nature’s per…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A close-up black and white photo of a morning glory flower blooming on a vine wrapped around a metal railing. The flower is on the right side, its delicate petals and central opening clearly visible. The vine’s tendrils and leaves intertwine with the railing, creating a contrast between organic curves and industrial lines. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the flower’s gentle beauty. The image captures a moment of quiet resilience in an urban setting.…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black and white photo of an outdoor tiled surface made of hexagonal tiles. The tiles are worn and uneven near the top edge, with some broken pieces and scattered debris. In the upper right corner, a small stack of square slabs tied with string sits atop a short stand or stool. The slabs appear heavy and utilitarian, possibly construction materials. The scene captures a gritty urban texture, with strong contrasts between the geometric tile pattern and the roughn…

Now officially shopping for an organization, ideally in Canada but absolutely out of US jurisdiction (Europe OK), to provide Web & DNS support. We have a few mostly-dormant WordPress blogs and static sites, a bunch of identity-supporting DNS records, and that's about it. Nothing very high-traffic, should be an easy ask. Would prefer something that demonstrates resilience and stability by having been around a few years.

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo shows a metallic electric kettle partially hidden among a dense tangle of leafless branches and twigs. The kettle sits outdoors, possibly on a wooden surface, and reflects light off its smooth surface. In the background, a concrete or stone structure adds to the impression of abandonment or neglect. The contrast between the modern appliance and the natural overgrowth suggests themes of decay, forgotten objects, or nature reclaiming space. …
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph shows a stack of cut logs piled outdoors. The logs are arranged horizontally, with rough bark and visible rings. Above the pile, leafy branches from a tree extend into the frame from the upper left, casting soft shadows. On the right, part of a building with a balcony is visible, featuring a hanging plant. A wire runs diagonally across the image from the top right corner. The scene feels rustic and natural, suggesting a rural or semi-…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A grayscale image features the upper portions of two buildings with traditional-style rooftops. Both buildings have air conditioning units mounted on their exterior walls. A cluster of electrical wires connects to the building on the right, and several power lines run diagonally across the sky. A utility pole is visible on the right edge. The architectural style and infrastructure suggest an older urban setting, possibly in East Asia, with a mix of tradition and …
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A monochrome image captures a metal gate with wire mesh, set within a fence made of similar material. The gate is closed and slightly weathered. Behind it, dense vegetation and trees fill the background. In the distance, a faint mountain peak is visible through a hazy sky. Several utility wires stretch horizontally across the top of the image. A piece of cloth or paper is caught on the gate. The scene evokes a sense of enclosure and quiet isolation in a rural lan…

Rent-Only Copyright Culture Makes Us All Worse Off
In the Netflix/Spotify/Amazon era, many of us access copyrighted works purely in digital form – and that means we rarely have the chance to buy them. Instead, we are stuck renting them, subject to all kinds of terms and conditions. And because the content is digital, reselling it, lending it, even preserving it for your own use inevitably requires copying. Unfortunately, when it comes to copying digital media, US copyright law has pretty much lost the plot.
