As a somewhat popular blogger, plenty of random stuff is sent to me via email from people that want me to try stuff out. To be honest though, a lot of the time bots keep spamming services and tools that nobody cares about. This makes surfacing what’s actually good from all a bit annoying to sort out. Therefore, I am doing the bare minimum here, which is sharing some links, writing what they are supposed to be, and leave it there! Some of them I’ll keep in plain text because I have doubts about…

If you want to read a book that makes you feel lots of different emotions, then this is your pick. It includes everything from rage bait, confusion, amazement, some sadness. And you even feel a bit pity. In here, you will follow a young woman, that turns into a trad-wife-influencer. And suddenly she finds herself in the glorified past and is confronted with reality. Would definitely recommend!

At least for me. I grew up using Windows. Since the early days of Windows 95, it’s been the de facto OS that I worked on day in and day out. It was the place for games, the place to browse the yet-to-be-bloated web, the destination for fun ICQ and MSN Messenger chats, and undoubtedly the place for all sorts of hobbies, from building with Visual Basic 6 to tinkering with 3ds Max and Photoshop. Granted, a lot has changed since then. My preferences have evolved towards more open and extensible…

If your man Peter is right here, and these numbers are from Companies House so I presume they are, then the average salary at OpenAI is over £2.3 million! 🤯This is complete madness, but it’s the gold rush to end all gold rushes so I guess they’re throwing everything at hiring all the people they believe can make them win. Whatever that means1.End of civilisation?

Did some minor updated to my website. So it seemed like as good of a time as any to reshare it here. It's part of the indieweb so you can send me webmentions if that's what you get into. 😉 Fixed a few bugs, added a link to my pleroma account, moved a few things around. Nothing major but needed to be done. https://mycabinetofcuriosities.com/ #indieweb #website #smallweb #html #css #eleventy #11nty

I don’t know how I missed this James Bond-themed Heineken commercial from back when Skyfall came out. It’s pretty funny, and the Doctor No cameo is witty.(I might be dim, but I had to watch it twice to realize that the guy and Bond are wearing the same clothes, and it’s a case of mistaken identity.)It’s on YouTube.

A mysterious door spotted on a building in Downtown Bonham, Texas. The post The Keep appeared first on 75CentralPhotography.

My inner contrarian nature is always sorely tempted to adopt, I don’t know, Perl or such, as my main hackery language. Why? Because if almost no one’s using it, it must be awesome, says a broken part of my head.

At first, meditation was hard.Then, meditation became easier, and things became easier.And here I am in a season where things have been very hard, and the practice of meditation has made it easier. Or at least easier for me to remember who I am and how to be that person.Recently: I got laid off from my consulting job. The company was a rudderless ship, smashing into the rocks into a storm, with people overboard, including myself. A career adjustment is underway. I’m actively developing my next…

We're going live a day early with this one as I'll be at Gamehole Con through the weekend. This Month on Table 46No new posts this month!

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Previous contributors include Jesmyn Ward, Lauren Groff, Bret Easton Ellis, Celeste Ng, T.C. Boyle, Dana Spiotta, Hanif Abdurraqib, Andrew Sean Greer, Roxane Gay, and many others. Will Maclean’s Solace House melds a gothic novel with dark academia brilliantly. Kirkus wrote of the book: “Maclean proves to be a master at pacing, creating suspense with ease; nothing is…

What could possibly go wrong?

I joked when we got our own place that we’d have the freedom to build a server rack of some description. That’d still be the dream, but we also don’t have the space. Or… do we? This is a DeskPi, made famous by the likes of Jeff Geerling, and recommended by a few friends. These are much smaller than a standard 19-inch rack, but large enough to fit all the comms an enthusiast would need for their home network setup. This is one of the smaller units, but they have taller ones. There are also a few…

In the early years of the 20th century, the medium of choice for large-scale conversations was the newspaper — at least, it was something newspaper-like, in some form or another. You saw this in the various ideological struggles of the time period, from fascism to communism to anarchism to republicanism. Of course, the nature of the printing press (speaking very broadly here) was such that you had to have some sort of resources to print a paper. It was theoretically possible to do it on a…

The documentarian Alex Gibney has never shied away from controversy. His filmography includes Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, Taxi to the Dark Side, and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. Musk, a three-hour-and-45-minute look at the world's wealthiest man, continues Gibney's immersion in the universe of hot topics. Yes, you read that right. Musk runs for almost four hours, serving as a comprehensive look at a career that began with Zip2, a company that provided online…

In the year 2086, Earth and the Solar system are governed by the Federation, a supra-national organisation that evolved out of the United Nations. In a world of advanced robotics, artificial superintelligence, climactic disturbances and natural disasters, it falls to the International Rescue Organisation to fly to the rescue of anyone in trouble on or off the planet.I think I can guess what you're thinking here: what the hell is Thunderbirds 2086? You've heard of Thunderbirds, the 1965 original…

Visiting the exhibition with works by Désiré De Lacy and Guusje Slagter.

Browsing the internet, I landed on the IndieWeb site and went exploring that philosophy. I wasn’t new to the concept, but up until then I hadn’t taken the time to dig deep and really understand what it was all about. I knew it had to do with microformats — conventional HTML tags bloggers use to annotate information on their sites — and POSSE — which in practice for me means posting here first, then syndicating to Mastodon. But beyond that, I didn’t fully grasp the point. So I grabbed a cup of…

You can now download the Epic Launcher's preview Linux client. This is wild to see and I'm definitely going to be messing around with it here. Though, do note that they openly admit to "vibe coding" this new Epic Games Launcher.Paying programmers is expensive. Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we fired 1,000 of our skilled developers vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look because we couldn't convince our…

Inspired by small_cypress's topic on 32bit.cafe. Up top: I accidentally saved over my custom css. I am definitely a late sleeper and late riser and my morning routine tends to change depending on what time allows. Wake up: 7am~9am (lol) Morning check on socials/emails. Try not to get on reels. Feed cats - they are hungry!! Prepare lunch (trying to be better about that habit) - I really like making a bento-type of meal where lots of components are already prepped. Breakfast is sometimes here but…

Long time no Pokras. It’s been a while since our last encounter, and I am glad to cover his new giant piece again.Pokras Lampas writes cities into existence — this time, in two languages at once. The calligraphy artist has spent years scaling up letterforms to architectural proportions, but the rooftop of Barkli DAN Residence demanded something more than spectacle. Here, Russian and Tatar interweave across 177 square metres — three concepts, six words, two languages — each stroke a negotiation…

It was 75 years ago on this date, October 14, 1951, that the anthology series Goodyear Television Playhouse debuted on NBC. The series was critically acclaimed. It was also nominated for its share of Emmy Awards. Goodyear Television Playhouse was also relatively popular with audiences. It ranked at no. 16 in the 1951-1952 season, no 15 in the 1952-1953 season, and no 22 in th 1953-1954.Of course, in some ways The Goodyear Television Playhouse could simply be considered the same show as The…

The latest craven betrayals of Dumpty Trumpy and his brain trust will not make Ukraine submit to Russia’s terms. They will only kill more people. May these grifting war mongers choke on the billions they plan to earn from Russia, an ally of Iran, the country they are fighting an illegal war against.

As with the previous post, the images here are not arranged chronologically. That’s how the fall colors develop … in no particular order. There might be some green mixed in here, and then trees that are past their prime there. I’ve included a few intimate landscapes of aspen arrangements that caught my eye. And, with … Continue reading More Autumn!
