@paulxthompson I remember: at the time the AxiDraw looked really good. <https://www.axidraw.com/>. I'll ask for an update from my plotter-using friend.
I was considering a mod to my 3d printer to repurpose it as a plotter.

TIL that Avalon Emerson co-created "Buy Music Club", a place where folks can curate lists of music on bandcamp to buy. Bandcamp playlists is a problem I've faced before so this is interesting to me https://www.buymusic.club/ #music
@ttyS1 @highvoltage I’ve been meaning to look into that. Do you not use something like rEFInd either?
@davidgerard for the last ten years, in-place upgrades of Debian. I’m due to do it again soon, but I’m considering the method you outline this time to get away from some technical debt. In the general case I’d probably attempt in-place updates for Ubuntu, assuming it hasn’t wandered too far from debian’s legendary stability
Oh, this is interesting (and a little scary)
tl;dr don’t use SSDs for long term, offline storage. The data degrades after as little as two years without the drives being powered up
Freshrss feature idea: periodic aggregated report on broken feeds, *as* a feed
I wrote a work blog post about using OpenJDK's jlink/jdeps modules tooling to build really small java application containers for OpenShift: https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2025/04/17/jlink-integration-openshift-tech-preview-release

@JoshuaACNewman @mcc I have a PO-33, a Korg Monotron Delay and a Kastle v1 doing nothing. I have/had fantasies of designing and 3d-printing an itty-bitty eurorack-style enclosure/stand to house them, and to aid in hacking on them: common power input, expose more controls off the PCBs, etc.; in my head this started to resemble something from Ghost in the Shell
@david_chisnall @GoblinQuester @jenesuispasgoth @futurebird “the lathe of heaven” is fantastic. “The left hand of darkness” is good, too.
Randomly remembering wetrix, an underrated puzzle game from the n64 era. There was a sequel but I’ve never played that.
My toolbox is overflowing, not with tools, but with screws, nails, nuts, rawl plugs, etc.: where do you keep those things? How do you organise them?
Just git bisecting my thesis. Totally normal.
I can't wait to be done with LaTeX's glossaries package.
@hyperreal I’ve not played it but I was struck by how similar it looked to No Man’s Sky. I expect the similarity is mostly surface level but the optics of that (billion dollar studio ripping off beloved indie) put me off it at launch time.
