I will never forget the day. The day my TOTP - those Six random numbers in an App - were a sequential fragment... Of my phone number. A million permutations. Functionally random. And Valid half a minute only. And yet, right there, Those digits unique to me. What are the odds? Really? Of an authenticator spitting out A sequence from within The number you'd dial only To reach me, and me alone. About six in a million. Asterisk1. If you watched your phone for About forty days straight, You'd…

In a time before social media follows and RSS subscriptions, you'll find a website that you enjoy reading and you save the URL into your bookmarks list. You will organize your bookmarks into folders, and, if you can remember, you'll visit these web sites on your computer whenever your family is not using the phone. The web was new, and everyone was figuring out new things to create. There were two 'magazines' that started around the same time that generated a lot of excitement back then that…

Lately, a person in my life could not stop explaining the results of 2026 US Mid Term Election. There is nothing wrong with listening to someone who has opinion to share. It is the pretentious that got me thinking. When the Iran War started, he is the middle east historian. During the AI data centre debate, he is the environmental expert. Now, he is the political commentator. Google and AI Agent are convenient, but what we can learn is like drinking from a firehose. Parroting what the internet…

This is what happens when I search through photos on my iPhone: I’ll repeat and emphasize the last frame below, because it’s a resting state that doesn’t offer much rest. I am happy with the train results and I just want to look at them in peace – but now there’s a pop-up in the way. What would you do to get rid of it? Trying to swipe it away doesn’t work: Tapping on the available largest surface – the photos – makes the photo you tap on take over the entire screen, which doesn’t help: Tapping…

Qt Creator is tricky to set up for RP2040/Pi Pico development, but fairly quick once you know the steps. I was unable to make Pico projects run correctly under VS Code using Raspberry's suggested editor extension. Note: These are personal notes from setting up Qt Creator for Raspberry Pi Pico 1 development on a new machine, organized into an article after the fact. They are specific to my machine (Arch Linux, fish shell) and may have missing or outdated steps, which may not fully succeed on a…

What kind of screanshots are we going to get from an eptic film like this. I found one that might suffice.

Saturday, November 7, 2026 - 07:00 lhmpodcast.jpg Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast - Episode 356 - On the Shelf for November 2026 - Transcript (Originally aired 2026/11/07) Welcome to On the Shelf for November 2026. With apologies to my non-US listeners who may have only a tangential interest, was that an election or what! Ever since 2016 (when Trump’s win stomped all over my book release for Mother of Souls) I’ve approached elections with an underlying sense of dread. I wasn’t daring to hope for…

Storage devices such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and NVMe drives are reaching increasingly ridiculous prices and becoming more difficult to obtain. With hosting services raising prices throughout 2026 and possibly more increases coming in 2027, I have to ask: why aren't hosting providers doing more to support newer and more efficient formats such as AVIF and WebP for images and AV1 and AV2 for video? Hetzner, for example, has already raised prices multiple times in…

Matthew Marx: This evening I brought my eyes to the sky the near exact moment a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) perched around twenty meters above me. The omen, if I am permitted one… The note ended there. I did not finish it. I did not yet know what came next.

log dating choice since we no longer live in small villages, it seems like we have an endless choice of potential partners when dating i think that’s wrong. let me explain no matter who you choose, you’ll always be with an imperfect human being. you’ll always have to take out your toolbox and work on the relationship that doesn’t mean you chose the wrong person; it means relationships take patience, effort, and care dating often just gives you new perspectives on inner conflict, but it won’t…

Quandary Peak stands in the Tenmile Range of Colorado, a few miles south of Breckenridge, 14,265 feet high. The story goes that in the early 1860s a party of prospectors found silver-bearing ore on its slopes and could not work out what it was. After much debate they gave up on identifying the ore and […] Source

SCHOOL BUS COFFEE STOP NAKAMEGURO is a cafe along the Meguro River near Ikejiri-ohashi station. The cafe is owned by an “American-style” renovation company named SCHOOL BUS, hence the name. Quite charmingly, they lean into their school bus theming with little bits of bus-related decor about. They also had branded Aroma mugs, which are from a Japanese brand called Origami (that also do the famous origami coffee drippers). I wouldn’t recommend buying it from here as you are paying quite the…

Knowember, getting to know the person behind the website you're currently looking at. Note, I say website, mostly because I don't like the word "blog". It is, as is very common, an idea from Robert Birming.

As I skip over Martha for now in telling the stories of Jason and Lucy Williams’ children, we arrive at Charles H.C. Williams, the first born son of the family. Charles was thought to be born on August 22, 1830 in Salem, Washington County, NY. Sometime by 1860, he moved to Whitingham, Windham County, VT. Perhaps he had lived with his father before Jason’s 1858 death? On March 21, 1860, Charles married Mary J. Snow (known as “Jannie”) by Baptist minister Amherst Lamb. Charles had listed his…

The first recording today starts with the end of OOglies. There’s a trail for the Sarah Jane Adventures. Then it’s What’s New Scooby-Doo? – A Scooby Doo Halloween. This episode starts in media res with the end of another adventure. But Shaggy is keen to get away. To such an extent that he drags the rest of them into the Mystery Machine and drives himself. This makes Fred very anxious. They get to where they’re going, Banning Junction, and are met with an angry mob, but Velma’s aunt, who they’re…

Next is Order #137, which is dated 14 December 1784 (here the day is clearly visible) and is signed by James Edgar (top signature), Basil Cochrane (middle), and Adam Smith (bottom). Once again, we see the commissioners’ attention to detail: “We have received your Letter of the 27th of last Month [i.e. 27 November 1784], with the Report of Mr. Gabriel Hay Officer of Excise relative to Return of Seizure No. 289 for 462 [or 1162] lbs of Tobacco seized by him. And We acquaint you for your…

I don’t normally re-watch lectures to study, but I spent today going over half of my L314 Digital Signals Processing lectures in preparation for an upcoming test. The Cambridge terms are quite compressed, so it’s helpful going over content to help piece it all together. I’ve been reading through Digital Signal Processing by Thomas Holton to supplement the coursework, and I’m finding it quite helpful. I selected the DSP module somewhat on a whim: I wanted something that was a bit more…

In gleeful collaboration with Tim Mainstone of Mainstone Press and Joe Pearson of Design for Today, I am hosting our annual BLOOMSBURY JAMBOREE, a festival of books and print, illustration, talks and seasonal merriment on SATURDAY 14th & SUNDAY 15th NOVEMBER from 10:30am until 4:30pm. It takes place at the magnificent ART WORKERS GUILD, 6 Queens Sq, WC1, which was founded in 1884 by members of the Arts & Crafts movement including William Morris and C R Ashbee. These oak panelled rooms lined…

I had my little Smashburgers in Bend website on Astro on Cloudflare Pages. While I 💜 both of those things, CodePen hosting is more than capable, and that’s obviously extremely fun and satisfying for me. I had the Smashburgers site on Astro way back when because they supported multi-page view transitions in a really nice way, polyfilling it in browsers that didn’t have it yet. But time has moved on, and I consider it a progressive enhancement anyway, so the Pen now just uses native multi-page…

Toss it away -- or let it sit?I spent part of this afternoon pulling up dead tomato plants, dumping out the Walls O Water (at this altitude, we use them all season long), and putting away the wire cages.But should I have done that? There is a good eco-friendly case to made for saving all that work until spring — although the plastic "walls" need to be stored out of the weather.From the Give a Shit about Nature website — also an account on X.com:The Fall Cleanup Instinct and Why It’s Worth…
