For the last few years, I’ve been pondering whether I overthink things

@slightlyoff and page numbers! (My pet peeve)

Oh, today I fixed a mail bug on a host within an IPV4 only network. And the problem was IPV6.

It's been a weird day. I feel kinda unfulfilled. I've actually had some good progress on work stuff, and some side-projects, but I've failed to progress fixing my 3D printer, and that's vexing me I think

The recent RoboCop game is now macOS native

When someone asks me what the , or is I'll use this illustration from UNIX Review, April 1985.

Illustration showing multiple beige desktop computers floating among clouds in an open sky, connected to each other by thin golden lines forming a network, with one large computer in the foreground emitting a burst of colorful rainbow light rays from its screen.

@metacosm I get it yeah! I deliberately avoided seventeen (and “destroy”) because I figured it’s likely people will have had exposure to them already. Apparently seventeen went viral on TikTok recently

@metacosm I picked five very different ones :)

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 followers 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”
