Had a look at my Pi Hole blocked queries list and there are entries for:
incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org
I thought I had disabled all the 'phone home' functionality in Firefox, but it appears to be still sending telemetry. about:telemetry claims it is disabled but there are several telemetry settings set to true in about:config. I don't know how to turn these off in settings, the only option seems to be to set:
toolkit.telemetry.server
to an empty address.

🎵 Cities
There seems to be a strong theme emerging from some of my latest songs. I was born and raised in cities, and while I lived in them for most of my adult life, I knew I would be more than fine living in the middle of nowhere (having tested that assumption on occasion).
So when the opportunity arose a few years back, I jumped ship.
If you listen to Entangled, Let Me Off, Bercée d’illusions (in French) and to some extent Living The Dream, it’s pretty easy to figure out that my apparent fixation on cities stems from both personal and philosophical/political/environmental considerations.
Regardless, I hope you’ll enjoy this new chapter in what is maybe shaping up to be a concept album, and which you’ll find on these fine, non-corporate sites:
(Still debating whether I should keep posting on bandcamp. In the meantime, if you want to pay for Cities, you can do so on Mirlo).

There's just nothing better than coming back from a trip to my room of #ShittyGear, listening to the brilliant makertube.net/w/k1CsnE3ABr3txv… by @bgm and scheming how to make best use of it.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Well it’s me playing various lower quality instruments in an effort to demonstrate that you can make okay music with inferior equipment. Don’t know if I demonstrated that successfully but there you go. Done for a Jamuary challenge a few years ago.

Le rapport «Planetary Solvency» indique que si on continue à ignorer le climat et les limites planétaires, on fonce vers un réchauffement moyen de 3°C, chute de 50% du PIB mondial, chute de 50% de la population mondiale et un tas d'autres problèmes politique et sociaux... Tout ça avant la fin du siècle.

#EPA administrator announces huge rollback of #environmental regulations
Promising to drive “a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion,” Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin outlined plans for an aggressive rollback of #environmentalregulations.
Zeldin announced that he intends to reconsider more than a dozen core EPA rules and regulations.

Gaaah, what did I get myself into here with this 46 kg monstrosity…?! I can hardly lift it myself. This will be interesting to get through the bandsaw.
I really gotta learn to say no to such things 🫣 But it's one nice long cherry log…
(Oops, did I say one? I meant three – the other ones are hiding out of frame. Luckily they're a bit lighter!)

I’d like a whale saw. Hard to find. Reflecting on it, I’d prefer over a frame saw from the standpoint of handling/balance.
For ripping smaller milled boards, though, like done in the vid, it’s easier done with a primed panel saw. Sellers shows a great technique, and it’s fast.
Short logs, like Daniel is cutting, poses the problem of holding them without special vice builds.
Longer logs are ideal for the whale, I would guess. And no need for a rowing machine. 😀

She stabilised the country for long enough for it to hold a free and fair election.
“I accepted the position in the name of Haitian women. I did it as a service to my country. I did it with love and determination.”
