I think they are all using lapel mics because they are cheap, good quality, and don’t take up a lot of space in the frame. Not sure whether they hold the mic as an aesthetic choice or because they don’t know how to wear it properly, but I assume it’s the former
A bike in front of the closed portion of the lakefront trail at Ohio St. The path is pretty icy in the background.
Ice around the curve of the lakefront trail near Oak Street.
#chiLFT mostly clear on this beautiful (fake) spring day, though still technically closed between Ohio St Beach and the curve. The upper level sidewalk is almost entirely clear if you can get your bike up the steps, however, and walking the icy patch around the curve isn’t bad if you don’t mind mud
What sorts of venues did Hyde Park bands play in the mid aughts? I wonder if WHPK would have recordings in their archive
“Odor” is a nice way of capturing this feeling, and I also think you’re right that the logic I’m being made to internalize is the logic of a frontline manager and not a middle manager
This quality is also unique to the “agent” metaphor imo, which is a major pivot in the intent of the tools. Chat felt like discussing with a colleague, albeit one who is often confidently wrong; autocomplete felt like pairing. “Agentic” tools make me feel like I’m bossing around an underling
As a knowledge worker I find it unsettling how explicit the current crop of LLM tools are in their attempt to get me to internalize the logic of management. Like personally I do not want to review PRs and tell other people what to do all day, that’s why I’m a programmer and not a middle manager
The suburb of Harvey has 6 alders serving ~20k residents. For comparison, Chicago has 50 alders serving ~2.7m residents, so Harvey has ~16x more alders than Chicago by population. If Chicago had Harvey’s ratio of alders to residents we would have 810 alders www.cityofharveyil.gov/city-council/
As far as I know, the current trend started with the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest in NYC in October 2024, organized by a YouTuber theface.com/culture/anth...
I saw this too, it’s a nice overview but I’m interested in the whole plan in detail!
Hmm when I tried to open the Internet Archive snapshots on my phone earlier it was only returning a web preview, not the whole PDF. Now it seems to be returning a 503 error. If you managed to grab the PDF, DM me, I’d love to arrange a transfer!
Perhaps @pjdubs.bsky.social, who wrote this story!
Does anyone have a copy of the Friends of the Parks’ complete “Last 4 Miles” plan from 2009? The only direct link I can find is in this 2022 WTTW story, but the link is broken and it wasn’t archived properly by any archive services I’m familiar with because it’s a PDF news.wttw.com/2022/06/20/c...
Part of this is that the Eagles fandom crosses divisions of class and race in a way that no Chicago sports team is able to do, in my view
This is true, though the main goal of the project is to avoid subscribing to a streaming service in the first place
Sounds comparable to AWS pricing — I had thought I needed 1TB storage which would be prohibitive for me at that price point, but it seems like I actually only need 100GB. Will give this a try if I can’t find a hosted solution!
This is a cool idea, thanks for the pointer!
I’d be curious to know if @macwright.com has a sophisticated setup for mp3 streaming, as one of the biggest advocates for buying music that I know
Yeah, I get the sense that YTM has the best support for personal libraries of any of the big players. But I’m hoping to avoid subscribing to a licensed streaming service entirely (if it’s at all possible for the level of effort that I’m willing to put in)
My main concern with self-hosting is the cost of mounting a large volume to the filesystem on a rented server, though it’s possible I may be overestimating that cost! bsky.app/profile/jean...
This looks great! Seems like it’s Android-only for now, is that right?
Very cool, what’s your monthly cost for that server? My main hesitation with running something like Subsonic on a rented machine is that it seems like they require your files to be mounted to the filesystem, which I believe is expensive for large amounts of files using a service like AWS EBS
Have you liked using iBroadcast? Sounds like maybe the main downside for you is it’s only for music, so it doesn’t support the other file formats on your drive that you’d like to stream?
Do you rent the server from a cloud provider or is it a physical box in your home?
Thanks to @raphmim.bsky.social for this helpful blog post, which seems to describe exactly what I’m looking for: blog.raphmim.com/how-to-build...
Is there a cloud service I can use to upload and stream music files that I own without subscribing to the company’s library of licensed music? Plex seems to be the stock answer to this question but I don’t want to deal with any physical hardware and that seems to be a requirement for a Plex server
Speaking as someone who has met neighbors who were probably avoiding me for a long time, I don’t think they will mind! When it happened to me, I just felt glad to finally meet them, and I didn’t think about it otherwise. Unfortunately I think most people avoid neighbors so it’s not a weird situation
That’s so cool, please pass along the message that Johnny made my day! Does Motoworks often plow the sidewalks on Western?
Immediately after posting this I got absolutely drenched by the 49 barreling through a big dirty puddle
