Games! I’m spending a tiny bit more time playing games now I’ve submitted. I haven’t picked up No Man’s Sky (not enough time left to do the current expedition Imho); but I’ve spent 2 hours in “citizen sleeper” and it’s great

@paulxthompson ooh they have their own zine (ish) https://bantamtools.com/products/machine-arts-magazine-no-1

@paulxthompson Plotter-friend replied. AxiDraw creators moved to NYC, and the Bantam Tools ones are the same people with more resources behind them, and the Bantam ones are improvements. He said, A4 is a bit too small (!)

@paulxthompson I've been pointed at some suspiciously cheap things on Ali Express https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005005763451182.html

@paulxthompson on Fedi, #plotterart seems to be the tag to watch. Nothing much on my instance but e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/plotterart has some interesting things

@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

@Diziet @Diziet Thanks -- it hadn't worked in my case. My instance is running Pleroma, rather than Mastodon, which might be why.

@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

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

@mcc periodic reminder (to me) to dig out my Kastle (v1) and have some fun
