"Gothic Christmas" by Within Temptation This has been on my Christmas playlist for so long. Straight up Scandinavian viking symphonic metal with operatic vocals and Norse mythology but it's all about Christmas. Firmly tongue in cheek and...

L’autocomplétion de nos intentions Lorsque j’ai commencé à utiliser mon premier smartphone, en 2012, j’utilisais évidemment le clavier fourni par défaut qui proposait de l’autocomplétion. Il ne m’a fallu que quelques jours pour être...

Number 9, turn me on dead man! And... grids again. While the first part of today's puzzle is easy to implement, the second part got me down the rabbit hole of the shapely library, GEOS computational geometry, DE-9IM matrices, ray-casting...
Escludendo il solito mondo social-centralizzato (Threads, Bluesky), Misskey è uno dei software più utilizzati del Fediverso dopo Mastodon
Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge’s name was good upon ‘Change...
The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading. Why read it? The Letter to the Colossians is Paul’s short but powerful answer to false teaching in Colossae...
2025-12-05（金） 回数：93/100 時間：19:45~21:00 地稽古：FM老师・KT老师・HT老师・YO老师 心得：一步甚至半步也好，要学会先于对方进攻。和同水平的人比试的时候，基本就是谁更先进攻，先手必胜。 可以看《剑道日本》的杂志封面来研究架构。左手要从正上方握（虎口对准中线），右手从侧面扶着剑就可以。左手手肘不要张开，尤其是抬剑的时候更要注意。 挥剑打击的时候，左手要再抬高一些，同时右手不要有意识地弯曲，不要提刀，随着抬高的左手自然弯曲就可以。...
Sticky comicsIn fashion language, white suggests luxury, like, you don’t have to work, because if you worked, you’d wear a more practical color that won’t get stained within 5 minutes. Staying clean is a privilege — the aristocracy keeps...
Most days, GRC feels less like “governance, risk, and compliance” and more like alphabet soup with lawyers attached. HIPAA for one client, PCI DSS for another, NIST CSF for your program, FTC Safeguards for the finance folks, NIS2 for the...
The mouse click recording feature in macOS video recording is really helpful for showing what you're doing (and something that I've used for videos for this blog previously, such in my writeup on how to set your screen time passcode...
Editor’s note: Job openings are a recurring topic in the Manual supporters’ WhatsApp group. In a recent conversation there were so many useful LinkedIn tips that we ended up with a kind of playbook for doing well on the platform. Thanks...

For a while, I have had an idea for Artemis – the calm web reader I maintain – to have a page that shows your feed and feed settings on the same page.I am interested in this idea because there is presently a distance between the settings...
It's not much but it's pretty Growing up in California, (specifically in the bay area and then spending adult years in the Coachella Valley) most of my life has been framed with the old expression "Snow is a place you go, not a thing...
For the ultimate IndieWeb Carnival of 2025, V.H. Belvadi asks us where we think the IndieWeb will be in 2030. I saw the term IndieWeb being used for a time before I decided to dig a little deeper. Pay a visit to the IndieWeb homepage,...
Moving from Firefox to Orion has been a success in all respects, except one: I've lost the ability to send tabs from one device to another. I've tried several approaches, but most of them were too kludgy to be practical. Last night, I...
This quote comes from A.T. Willis, Jr., The Biblical Basis of Missions, chap. 2 (p. 13 in the document I have): The Old Testament sketches God’s efforts to form a holy people. Holy means to be separated unto God. God called Abraham to...
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. - John Muir Yesterday, my daughter (who will graduate from college next week..yay!!!) and I drove in the direction of the Mogollon Rim to cut the family Christmas tree. We...
My Setup and the Problem I use Linux on my main work laptop, where remote access is effortless: I can SSH with Kitty’s remote edit kitten or mount remotes via KDE Dolphin. But at home, my desktop runs Windows 11 for gaming (thanks to...
“I have always felt that a human being could only be saved by another human being,” James Baldwin wrote in one of his finest essays. “I am aware that we do not save each other very often. But I am also aware that we save each other some...
Probably not a popular thing to say today. The zeitgeisty thing to say is that we should all log off and live terrible cottagecore solarpunk lives raising chickens and being mindful. I wish people were more online and more public. I have...
It’s Blogvent, day 10, where I blog daily in December! I often get asked about food and things to do in Chicago! There’s sooo many stereotypical things to do and get, like the architectural boat tour and some deep dish pizza. And...
Like a deer in headlights, I saw it coming as my semester was winding down. I needed to keep pushing. There's money riding on my education. I think I'm burnt out. I used up every bit of energy just to get over the finish line. Bringing...

You know the ones... They go on easy, fit just right and don't pinch around the ankles. They get washed the most and when one goes missing there's a real pang coupled with hope its mate will re-emerge.Reply via email
The mice weren't so lucky. A connected brain seemed like a requirement. Wemly and Utsab went through mice like batteries in a particularly demanding device. Wemly was able to repeat her initial maze experiments but could do nothing to...

Musings on three things — Nairobi, gorillas, and gorilla suts — en soi (as “just stuff:”) vs. those things serving as symbols, with various values / evoked associations, which are tyically conventional: cultural meanings. With specific...
Normally, it takes until about the middle of February for me to get sick of Winter. Usually, in mid-December we still see some 40 degree days. Almost never are we under 20 degrees. This year, we’ve seen -8 Degrees (these are all in...
Roshan: Created page with "The word "trespass" is interesting in what it has changed to. Like many other words in the law enforcement or legal space, "I will charge you with X-ing" or "I will eject you for Y" has become "I will X you" or...

December 2025. Folkestone. Leaving the Old Neptune, and the glorious sunset Mrs RM had just missed, we headed over seashells and pebbles towards Whitstable’s oyster beds. I’ll eat (and drink) anything, but I doubt oysters could match...
So I already made a post about this on TikTok/Bluesky/Tumblr/YouTube (because I am, if anything, distributed these days), but I wanted to talk about it here -- as it feels more permanent. This last weekend I was at a convention, and like...

The clouds cascade above you in incredible detail. In places, their bases form an impenetrable ceiling, but that ceiling is temporary. Wisps of shadow float against glowing shards of the sun, illuminating another layer behind. The effect...
