New blog post: Ladytron
https://jmtd.net/log/ladytron/
I write about seeing Ladytron live in Newcastle last night and provide a 5-track playlist of their songs to sample.
#music

@vadim doesn’t have to be album tracks. I don’t think I know that cover, thanks, will listen!

And at least one Daniel singing song. New album good for that

The set has to have at least one mira song. Would “he took her to a movie” count? I’d include it for other reasons

Thinking: don’t over represent witching hour. Actually I think I’ve picked one track from velocifero that would “cover” witching hour

I’m going to try and do a five track playlist of ladytron for a friend. How the heck do I distill them to 5?

Ladytron were *awesome*

A full 18 years since they last played Newcastle, and the same venue (Digital night club)

that Nazi punk toot landed in my timeline right between people arguing about the age verification stuff in free software

How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:

1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.

2. All the harasser's buddies join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.

3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.

4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.

5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."

Got a cold, Blergh. Supposed to go to ladytron tonight

For some reason I’m imagining a weird mash up between the communications from uk water companies and the IDF.

“Dear sir/madam, defence operatives will soon be operating in your area. During the works your normal services will be unavailable. IDF endeavour to complete works as soon as possible and will contact you again when it is safe to return. Please complete our customer satisfaction questionnaire”

The Journal of Functional Programming (JFP) is open again! https://jfp.episciences.org/

I must be an unusual (neo)vim user. I just want stuff to open new buffers in my current window. Stop fucking with my windows! That means you, nvim-tree; that means you, :Man, that means you :help, etc etc etc

New blog post: My Prusa Mini+ is broken
https://jmtd.net/log/prusa_mini/broken/
Where I lament my broken 3D printer, and consider what to do about it. #3dprinting

@RogerBW it’s to do with changing a path from a symlink to something else. Let me find the -devel thread…

I also discovered that there are certain types of file changes that are not representable in patches within Debian packages. This wasn’t a problem but it was an eye-opener to me.

I got dark mode working on https://ikiwiki.info today!

I think the nozzle has sheared off inside the heatblock of my Prusa Mini+. How screwed am I? #3dprinting
