After about a year of working on it, my #NerdStitch cross-stitch tribute to the 1985 Amiga Deluxe Paint King Tut is done! Created from the original image, I did have to scale it down a little. The stitched version is 180x200, about 34,000 stitches.

I'm going to be able to partially repair this by scripting the download of the matching *files.xml metadata files and then extracting the SHA1 sums. Most of the derived files will be out-of-date, but most of the originals are probably unchanged.
I attempted to download all items in an archive.org collection via torrents (>255 items, >255 torrents). Theory being: potential to get some data from peers, lighten the load on IA; built-in checksumming and repair. I've come to the conclusion that sadly this doesn't work very well. My torrent daemon struggles with so many; lots are permanently at 99%; IA torrents don't include any metadata identifying original vs derived files
Is OneDrive serious software used by actual people? I’ve been sent a share link to some files which aren’t numerous or especially large and it’s sending me ZIPs at about 10kiB/s which end up containing only half the files and an apologetic __all_errors.txt listing the missing ones. 🤡🤡🤡
A fantastically in-depth look at some visage remixes. I love this blog http://www.versioncrazy.com/2026/04/07/visage-fade-to-grey-1988-cd-single/ #music
Has anyone tried the nextcloud "AIO" container image? A friend wants to use it but it gives me serious heebie jeebies / 🚨🚨🚨
and now they're bouncing around to Rob Zombie. That one is not my influence at least
Eldest asked me to identify some music she was humming (ronda alla turca and william tell overture). Wife remarked I was "very knowledgeable"
Shall I admit it's my fondness for the Amiga Lemmings soundtrack to thank?
@rjek I love it. Is that their uptime or because you spin around and end up right where you started
