Abstract album cover art. Lines and swirls of vibrant yellows, reds, oranges, blues and greens. The album title can be seen in the lower right.

Still from the movie Flow. It’s a black cat looking at the camera while floating in the water.  The camera is looking up towards the top of the water. Fish can be seen.

Watched β€œFlow” tonight. 84ish minutes of no dialog and a beautiful film.

Album artwork. It’s green with abstract shapes and shades of green.  Text is β€œSnarky Puppy, We Like It Here”, in white lettering, in the center of the image.

Abstract album cover. Mostly white with a few cutouts of blue color squares and rectangles. The text, β€œBT This Binary Universe” can be seen, written in black.

Excited to see this remaster, but bummed it’s not ATMOS. Especially since the original was available as 5.1.

Album cover that appears to be looking up from a cave or crevice.  A clear light blue sky can be seen in the middle. On the left and right are brown shaped walls that change to black as you move towards the edges of the image.

Nice and chill for today. Whole album is good but this is my favorite track.

Is anyone running another full stack of the Bluesky/AT software stack? Bonus points if it communicates with the "official" instance.

Cover art for the soundtrack. In the foreground can be seen the title in all caps, β€œOBLIVION”. Behind that, Tom Cruise is walking on a mostly destroyed suspension bridge. A grey cloudy landscape is in the background.

Never fails. Once the weather starts to turn cooler and the days shorter, more and more deep dark electronica shows up on my playlists. And of course lots and lots of Hybrid.

Album cover with two people sitting  at a table. Four people are standing behind them. The back of one person can be seen in the foreground, also sitting. One of the people sitting,  facing the camera, is wearing an odd looking mask with two very tall horns.  The scene appears to be interrogation.

Watched this the other day and it is absolutely bonkers. If you like time travel movies and movies that do a lot with a little budget, this is it.

Have been using History Book for a while now and it’s such a great tool.

Excised Eero devices from my network a while back. Replaced them with a Firewalla and Deco mesh. Highly recommend.

A tree truck with a red plastic toy shovel stocked oddly out of it. It appears to be growing out of the truck. Green trees can be seen in the background.

An Eastern Shovel tree.





I do wonder how this happened.

Realized that the most janky website I visit is YouTube. To penalize Firefox or combat ad blocking, I guess Google thinks it’s ok to slow the site down or simply break it.

This misses any sort of package versioning and locking. My goto has been Pipenv+Pyenv and I guess remains so.

Starting a new little Python project. Step one, what’s the preferred packaging and virtual environment setup this week? Almost went with Ruby, just for this being long solved problem.

It’s too bad you’ve not explored Mastodon. That federation seems a lot more inline with your presented ideals than here. Glad you’re exploring outside of Twitter, regardless.

Maybe I am missing the joke but you don’t have to pick a server because it’s only one server?

Are you following these kinds of discussions on other open networks like AP? They are trying to answer these same questions and have been for years.

Maybe I am missing something obvious, but is it currently not possible to change your password here? #bluesky #meta
