Feeling a sudden urge to have a classic poetry anthology by my bedside, I took a look in one of my local charity shops, and straight away found this beauty. I believe I already have it somewhere, in its familiar large format and in a...
It’s been a good week. I have made good progress in general. I continued with my workouts as planned and played Pickleball on Wednesday. We played five games in 90 minutes. We’re all getting better and have started enjoying the game more...
As I got to the bus back home a couple days ago, paid my ticket and got in, I couldn’t help but notice a girl at the second to last seat at the back of the bus. She was reading a book. It was a long one, I couldn’t really read the title...
One day the flock was out in the mountains. All the sheep were happy to eat fresh grass from the sunny slopes. “Such a lovely day to be a sheep!” they said and danced along. Suddenly, a white wolf came out of the nearby forest. Nobody...

TIW: How do I get Nix to cache tarballs? 2025-11-15 Today I wondered: every new code project I create has a file called shell.nix starting with something like: let nixpkgs = fetchTarball...
Traditional contemplative practices come wrapped in cosmologies most secular moderns can’t honestly adopt. You can’t just extract “mindfulness” from Buddhism without noticing you’ve gutted the thing. The four noble truths aren’t optional...

I briefly mentioned the network setup in a post about starting my homelab, but wanted to describe the steps I took to get connectivity to the machine and the VMs within it. Proxmox creates a basic network configuration during...
Lunch with Wendy and Anne often feels like a little reset / admission of where things are and where we hope them to be. It is always most appreciated. Thought about asking someone to take our photo after the meal to recreate one of...
This post describes my experience using Linux on the Fujitsu Lifebook U729. The tl;dr is that it’s a delightful laptop, and Linux runs flawlessly, and all the hardware things I’ve needed run OOTB. The only difficulty I had was in...

Introduction My Shanling Q1 died after a couple of years of heavy use and I think it was probably fixable with some soldering but I don’t have time for that. In a rush, I bought an M0s not reading the page and thinking it was the...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop I'm still not fully locked in on what the posting schedule for this project will be, so here's the latest three. As long as I draw them every day I feel like I've...
If tack .atom onto the end of a GitHub releases URL, you now have an Atom feed for the project releases. For example: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases (webpage) https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases.atom (feed) I'm hoping...
I am currently working on a project that requires localisation for providing native language content to various diaspora and migrant communities. As a curiosity, I wondered just how many distinct languages there. According to Ethnologue,...

Why read the book? Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek’s I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist builds a step-by-step case for Christianity using reason, science, and history. The authors start with the idea that truth exists and can...
When Dorothy awoke the sun was shining through the trees and Toto had long been out chasing birds around him and squirrels. She sat up and looked around her. There was the Scarecrow, still standing patiently in his corner, waiting for...
AI is creeping into my beloved Firefox: Introducing AI, the Firefox way: A look at what we’re working on and how you can help shape it. Right at the bottom of the announcement is a link to take part in “shaping” how Mozilla integrates AI...
A sunny morning. An oasis of peace and tranquillity, steps away from the crowds. At the garden of Hogon-in Temple, a sub-temple of Tenryu-ji. 晴れた朝。人混みから少し離れた、静寂と安らぎのオアシス。天龍寺の塔頭、宝厳院の庭園にて。
Inkwell Games bills itself as “Daily puzzles worth thinking about” and that’s a great tagline. Right now they offer two daily puzzles: Stars and Fields. Both are enjoyable but I rank Stars as a bit above Fields but as I get better at...
Flicks list of Australia’s twenty-five most beautiful cinemas is almost enough to tempt me back into going to film screenings instead of streaming from home. Of those on the list, I’ve been to Golden Age Cinema and Hayden Orpheum Picture...
Stopped by the Campost office earlier this Monday and bought a good ton of stamps. Added them to my digital stamp collection. The Post office received a fresh coat of paint last month for the Presidential election. Staff were super...
错误发布的订阅流 之前不小心把 Zine#45 标记成了发布，导致错误发布到订阅流，当我在订阅流里看到的时候已经晚了。说是不小心，其实也是故意的，标记成发布，我可以在首页快速找到文章入口，方便我预览，但部署时忘了。 一旦发布出去，好像也没有什么撤回的手段。不过还是可以做一些补救的： 将错误发布的文章从订阅流中移除，避免更多的人获取到未发布的文章 对于错误发布的文章，从博客中移除，当别人访问时返回 404 尽快地更新（但我还有很多东西没整理，时间上来不及）...
Last week someone on Mastodon posted a link to an article on NPR.org looking for people that wanted to talk about health insurance. I happen to have some very recent history in this area so I completed the form. Earlier this week NPR...

I subscribe to Anime News Network’s feed. I saw the following headline: My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha TV Anime Reveals 5 More Cast Members, 2nd Promo Video. I have a problem with this headline: One “9” too many. The late great Herman...
Updates from the bridge: Got my portable cassette tape player this week and absolutely love it 🥲 Feels great in the hand and I could spend so much time just sitting and listening to music with this thing. My kids love it too, and there's...
I listened to The Anthropologists over the last few days while doing my laundry at 10 pm and making charts of little poems for children at the anganwadi I’m working at. At several points, I thought that I must buy a physical copy of the...
I woke up this morning very sore from all the walking I did yesterday. I ended up walking several miles because I felt motivated to do so, but I feel that there was a certain amount of desperation I was trying to quell yesterday with all...
At this moment, I'm feeling exhausted. I've had a cold or something for last 15 days and am now on some antibiotics to try to clear up any bacterial infection. I've been making a sizable dent in a Costco-sized bottle of generic Mucinex...
Ma quelli che finiscono in copertina -una qualunque- di una qualunque rivista di settore, specializzata. Dico. Ma quelli della foto pettinata, quelli del pugno sotto il mento stile yuppie milanese anni ’90. Dico, ancora. Ma quelli che ci...
So, I’m in the process of rebuilding my music library so I can finally get away from music subscription services. One of the things that I’ve noticed is that I download albums, but I don’t really listen to albums. I used to, obviously....
I heard fourth hand with citations long forgotten that too much boredom can be dangerous, cause depression etc (and some sprawlbrained people like me are extra sensitive to that) but too little boredom is also unhealthy and is much more...
We had a decent VHS tape collection in my family when I was a kid. Some were store-bought. Some were recorded from TV, like episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation or Disney Sunday Movies. Sometimes, when we were in the mood to watch...
We’ve been dealing with a sick bunny around the house this past week. Rabbits have fragile systems and can go from “OK” to “really bad news” quickly, so it’s important (and, at times, exhausting) to stay on top of things when they come...
The tagline of The New Leaf Journal is Where the leaves are perennially virid. I will concede that some articles are more evergreen than others. But sometimes something I write at one point turns out to be unexpectedly relevant at...

How do you respond to “Have a good one”? Seriously, what’s the correct, and quick, thing to say? People here are aggressively friendly, holding the elevator door open and asking “Which floor” and pressing the button for me? Uff. Everyone...

November 2025. St. Leonards. Sussex. There’s lots of unexpected things you learn about east Sussex after 30 years of ticking pubs and 3 staying in a caravan down there. Rye isn’t as genteel as Mermaid Street suggests, Hastings has an old...
