At the temple of the goddess while desert wind burns through your skin become the mirror that reflects light towards the heavens where the twin sisters claim their dominion And remain steadfast in the knowledge that shifting sands...
Had a real good time at the Marine ball this year. This one felt way more ‘connected’. Probably because we knew almost everyone? Had to head back home around 2130 right around the time the music was kicking in. The souvenir coin looked...
I have not ridden a motorcycle for than a couple of kilometers since my neck pain started. Now, I don’t have pain. But I wanted to take a test ride with a heavier helmet before I go on my planned long ride. Also, I have not taken Yamaha...
Ever since starting my own music collection I have wanted to try streaming it with Navidrome, however hosting it on a VPS was tricky for a couple of reasons. First, the bandwidth would be a lot higher because I would be streaming high...
At some point, every home server operator loses steam. After 6+ years running ~20 applications on a home server, I wish only for things to work properly and not waste my time. If you’re anything like me, docker compose is probably all...
Test Go subprocesses with the re-exec pattern: spawn your test binary as a subprocess to emulate real command behavior reliably.
TIL: Links in RSS feeds should be absolute 2025-11-16 So I recently got this site added to PowRSS, an RSS feed aggregator for Indie Web sites. Nice! Except, no. None of the links to my posts work currently: they all point to something...
He visto en el blog de Simon Joseffsson que ha lanzado el proyecto "Debian Libre Live" para producir imágenes "Live" de Debian GNU/Linux solo con software libre, vamos lo que era Debian antes de tomar la decisión de incluir cosas...
November 2025. Sheffield. A night in Sheffield between the statutory two in Waterbeach, just time for laundry, a read of the mail, a gig and a catch-up with James. He’d phoned to ask to catch-up, possibly to make sure I’m not investing...
I'm really behind in my blogging this month. The thing is, when I'm anxious about something, I just don't feel like writing. I read that writing it down might help with reducing the anxiety. Unfortunately, my brain doesn't work that way....

Why read the book? Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina follows Anna, a married aristocrat who begins an affair with Count Vronsky, leading to scandal and tragedy. Parallel to her story is Levin’s search for meaning in rural life and love for...
Wow. Wow. Where to even start? At a glance, Sinners is a vampire horror movie slash action film set in the Deep South during the Jim Crow era, about twin brothers coming back to their hometown to start life anew, but of course it all...
I'll put it out there: I have a hard time trusting The Process. Controversial, I know. But anyway, there's this deep-seated thing inside of me that makes me doubt all the time. I think that it's a fundamental thing that exists in all...
I actually love fonts! (Which might surprise those who know that I leave my webpage set to the browser default font, but it’s * I love good fonts so much that I think fonts should be a reader decision, not a server decision.) When my...

I was skimming through a children's book on demolition today (kids love construction vehicles) and read about the crew hosing the site down to make it less dusty. So, what's all that about then? Many of the materials buildings are made...
Posted on November 16, 2025 Remember roundups of links? That was the original web logging, my friends. And I’m feeling old-school. This poem by Denis Welch really stuck with me. Denis Welch! A byline you don’t see much these days. I...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. Record scratch; freeze frame… Spoiler Alert / tldr: I didn’t, technically — although it depends on how you define the industry — but I sometimes think the book side never really considered me part...
Howard Oakley DS_Store files contain a folder’s custom attributes, data like icon positions, and in more recent versions of macOS custom settings for the display of file metadata. I first encountered .DS_Store files in my 11ty projects....
Finished reading Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. A friend suggested I pick this up; I’m glad I did, as it contains snippets of wisdom that I needed to hear. I love the idea of treating my reading pile “like a river, not a...
I’ve had one of those wonderfully serendipitous encounters today, that I wouldn’t have had if I wasn’t maintaining a personal website and wouldn’t be interested in other people’s websites: I went to the Discover section of Bear...
Introduction I’ve been enjoying standalong MP3 players! The Innioasis Y1 kept coming across my radar, I like the the form factor, it was $50. What the heck, why not. And Then The community for this thing is insane, it’s just as active as...

As members of Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, we get to see the annual Christmas light display at no extra cost the weekend before it's opened to the public. It was light jacket last night, so certainly not "Christmas weather," and last...
The Story The drama is technically xuanhuan with some wuxia-ish elements thrown in: it’s both genre-bending and experimental. At its core, it revolved around Tang Lici (Luo Yunxi) and Liu Yan (Alen Fang), two characters with a...

A few days ago, Manu posted about his internet input diet where he shared his thoughts concerning what he consumes online, who is getting his attention, and how much?. He wrote: The topic of who is getting my attention these days is...
When people talk about Generative AI, the focus is usually on: But what I am missing a lot in those conversations are: If there’s a user interface: And the elephant in the room:
I had already been leaning towards simplifying my physical media collecting by ditching vinyl records, but a video with some startling information gave me the push I needed. Vinyl is Toxic I knew vinyl should be kept out of landfills –...
Zaanse Schans is a small village where the Dutch landscape remains more or less the same as it was hundreds of years ago. Windmills, traditional clogs, chocolate, and plenty of wind. Exactly. Camera iPhone 15 Pro Data 21/08/2025 Location...

I have been publishing a new post every day since mid September. I’ve had a good time doing it, and I’m going to continue on into next year unless something happens. But I do have to wonder, does publishing too much bug those of you who...
It appears that everyone recently discovered The Dead internet theory and agreed that it's now a fact. Slop takes over, there is nothing valuable left on the internet. If you don't care enough to click the above link: the theory states...
All this time Dorothy and her companions had been walking through the thick woods. The road was still paved with yellow brick, but these were much covered by dried branches and dead leaves from the trees, and the walking was not at all...
On October 5, 2023, I wrote an article about catching Dragonair in the Safari Zone in the Nintendo 3DS virtual console version of Pokémon Yellow in 2019. This article is intended to be a follow-up to my personal anecdote with new...
You can use Nix as a package manager for Emacs, like so: { home-manager.users.eudoxia = { programs.emacs = { enable = true; extraPackages = epkgs: with epkgs; [ magit rust-mode treemacs # and so on ]; }; }; } Today I learned you can also...
It’s been one of those weeks. I’m feeling the winter blues already and have this nagging pull to hibernate. I feel exhausted and have no motivation to do anything. And… it’s been raining for two days straight, making the short November...
We have been training visitors from Mmokc for the last two weeks. Despite Bennu falling on the last concentric of the core, we are usually overwhelmed with requests for training---most likely because of our location actually. Everyone...
This third installment of the magician heist series arrives 9 years after the last one so I had forgotten most of characters. The good news is that it doesn't really matter as the plot is light and pacing quick.Currently Listening: Balu...
