Happy 1021 to those who celebrate.

Thanks for the tour! Looking forward to taking the new train up to Vancouver sometime 😄 @amtrakcascades.wsdot.wa.gov

E-ink display for the front of the Steam Machine is tempting… Wonder if it can be used with @trmnl.com somehow 🤔 jsaux.com/products/fac...

Spun up a little thing to create and serve an iCalendar for solstices and equinoxes for the past 5 and next 5 years. Available at 2bit.b-cdn.net/solar_calendar if anyone's interested.

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm just not excited for folding phones.

There, fixed up my EV charging plugin too 😄 @trmnl.com

Been poking at making an AQI plugin for @trmnl.com using IQAir's API. Pretty happy with it at the moment trmnl.com/recipes/407459 (ignore my other broken plugin in the picture...)

Does the new suit 'fuel low' warning irritate you like it does me? If it does, this mod fixes it: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... If it really annoys you and/or it annoys you that Keen think this is how it should behave, here's a feedback post to upvote: support.keenswh.com/spaceenginee...

How do you shoot a basketball... in 3D... on the NES? Let's find out! A dive into the 3D ball physics of Double Dribble and a technical explanation of the infamous CORNER THREE! glitch. youtu.be/P_iWYyssJ0g

Woo, FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE! www.freebsd.org/releases/15.... #freebsd

I switched my Roku boxes out for Apple TV a while back, but this still sucks. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

So, I was watching this videos about finding the landspeeder from Spaceballs (youtu.be/y3U63r9bpbk) and I think the plates over the headlights might be the metal frames from a couple of 5.25" floppy drives. Could use a second opinion. #retrocomputing #movieprops #spaceballs

Another solid month of exercising!

Putting this here too, got it from twitter. I doubt sony would listen to player voices ever but hey

Got to ride the Seattle Monorail, Link light rail, and Sounder all in one day! @sound-transit.bsky.social #traingeek #transitgoals

Looks like an interesting read. I don't like a lot of what's done with LLMs, but I also feel like I should have a better grasp on how they work. hackaday.com/2026/05/04/t...

Fourth month in a row of exercising every day.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Irasutoya, Japan's popular free clip art library, has released its latest creation in honor of the United States President, Donald Trump. It's a clever play on TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and the Japanese word タコ for octopus, which also means "idiot."

Three months in a row! Pretty sure this is the longest I’ve stuck with an exercise plan in my life.

Best railcar graffiti I've ever seen

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Automation stuff in Timberborn 1.0 looks interesting, wonder how long it’ll take for someone to rig it up to Home Assistant 😄

Second month of exercising every day! (except one, but I did a lot of walking that day)

Meanwhile at the TPUSA show.

Over a month of doing half an hour on the elliptical every day 🏃

Abolish the Republican Party.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

For the next time I need to find it, `about:config` set `mousebutton.4th.enabled` to false so Firefox stops trying to go back when I hit my push-to-talk button.

I've completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

I have serious questions about the definition of “recent hits” here

"A little party never killed nobody?" Clearly Trump never made it to the end of "The Great Gatsby"

@destiny2team.bungie.net something changed with the RSS feed on bungie.net so it now just has relative URLs in the <link> elements, which means the links don't work from RSS readers anymore. I think it changed sometime in the past week.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Getting back into using mutt for my personal email. Forgot how much faster I can read email in a terminal, and how much better it is at threaded mailing list conversations.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Love these deep dives into old games, and Metroid was a childhood favorite

The title cards from Batman: The Animated Series are sublime.

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar 2025: ohhh ok

Getting my home automation stuff set up again after doing a clean reinstall of Home Assistant. Using Node-RED to map some Zigbee buttons to control Hue lights.
