a tiny portable CRT tv is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi, with a keyboard and mouse. The CRT is displaying some lines of text about DietPi OS.

One small step in eradicating the Unix virus today.

After talking with a friend about drafts of The Wrath of Khan, I decided to watch it along side the one shooting script I have for it.

Still lots to mine in here, even if it's not an early draft. I'd forgotten Saavik was originally half Romulan, which is why she has flashes of emotion in the movie:

"She's half Romulan, Jim.  The admixture makes her more volatile than...me, for example."

all these software people obsessed with “shipping” and “deliverables” and “package managers” should consider the possibility that postal work might be their true calling

i think the chinese might even be able to offer some interesting solutions to exactly what microcontroller platform to target, this is a curated list of what ulisp supports natively.

bren thinking very deeply about @permacomputer

but have not had the time to write anything down

i have been exploring collapseOS and it is rich in ideas. it is largely complete as a project and DuskOS has taken over, it seems.

oh look! a cracked version of god of war ragnarok already exists! it's been 90 minutes since release! and they've already converted legit paying customers to pirate customers cuz of their stupid DRM

sony, was it really worth all the man-hours you've put into creating DRM? and worth the sales you've lost?

What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds!

Absolutely mind-boggling that of all the new source code forges being made, all but one (1) maintains github's firmly locked 1:1 correlation between a “project”, “source code repository”, and “issue tracker”—the latter of which is really “general support channel” rather than an actual bug tracker since there's no other option for a general support channel integrated into the forge.

Seriously, this is the sole reason I use Sourcehut (I'm not really all-in on the email workflow although I don't mind it).

is it normal to be tired all the time

Anybody sell merch/shirts in AUS?. My charity is looking to sell shirts at PAXAUS and we've tested a few places to print out logo
