Infinite Music Machine is a project by Michael Forrest, a generative composition which arranges human-played loops algorithmically. Originally an iOS app, its output is now available online as a kind of endless radio station.

Saying the quiet part out loud: billionaires don't want the little people around, they want us to quietly go away and stop existing on their dime (because obviously all the dimes belong to the deserving poor, er, billionaires).

This is eliminationist rhetoric, aimed at you (and me).

Very nice! Makes me want to reprint the covers for my clock with hex infill instead of the thin solid layers I have.

@seth It’s such an easy upgrade but I really think it helps a lot!

The image is a three-panel comic strip titled "How TTRPGs Proliferate." The first panel, labeled "SITUATION," states, "There are 14 competing TTRPGs." The second panel shows two stick figures, one saying, "14? Ridiculous! We need to develop a Universal System that covers everyone's use cases." The third panel, labeled "SOON," reads, "SITUATION: There are 15 competing RPGs. Half are D&D 3e retroclones. The other half are GURPS. But worse." The comic humorously illustrates the paradoxical situation where efforts to create a universal system for tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) lead to an even greater proliferation of competing systems.

Sure, I'd prefer a V30.

Look at this gorgeous 3d-printed iambic #MorseCode key! Definitely looks like you'd only want to print it with a resin printer, but with the magnets installed, I expect it would work great with a jeweler's block base.

Open source, comes with a complete BOM from McMaster, has STEP and STL as well as the original SW files. Very nice work.

I'd use longer screws and thumb nuts to lock them (I mean, for my key I did use longer screws and thumb nuts) instead of thread locker, but that's a personal choice. 😀

Anyone have issues with @Tutanota not receiving email notifications from Mastodon or is it not supported? NOT. EVEN. A. SINGLE. EMAIL.

I wanted to ruled out before my instance admin keep digging any further.

"The Far Side has countless comic strips featuring animals. Moreover, it also has many strips that show the fight between animals and humans. The Far Side creator Gary Larson has definitely made it no secret that he prefers animals to humans in his comic strips."

To save money, maybe we should eat the rich for breakfast.


I wrapped up last night by baking a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Each cookie is 90 grams and I used techniques from the Levain cookie recipe. I think I forgot to add the full amount of oats (did 3 cups instead of 4?) but they turned out well. I have a few ideas for next time as well.

28 March 1935 | A French Jewish boy, Leon Ramo, was born in Paris.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 892 people murdered in gas chambers immediately after selection.

Having pulled out from parts of Kursk, Ukraine is now attacking the Russian Oblast of Belgorod, and there are indications they are holding at least parts of the settlement of Demidovka, which Russia is now bombing and trying to take back.

Russian channels claim, Ukraine has thousands of troops in Belgorod, and I would not be surprised as leaving large areas of Kursk may have freed up Ukrainian troops.

in reply to Randahl Fink

When Russian sources claims Ukraine has "thousands of troops", that's probably somewhere between five guys with a farm tractor and fifty soldiers with a couple of armored vehicles.

Unless Russia has changed their exaggeration scale recently.

in reply to Randahl Fink

had there been thousand men in that area, they would have pushed far further into #Belgorod oblast, this is the typical #soviet style warfare where you fear the ones above you, so you make up things so it will not look like it's your fault things went badly.

🔴 Wir haben die #Porschegate-SMS von Christian Lindner freigeklagt. Das Finanzministerium muss die Textnachrichten mit Porsche-Chef Blume an uns herausgeben #uig #ifg

abgeordnetenwatch.de/blog/in-e….

in reply to Shred

@shred grundsätzlich natürlich ein Risiko, aber aus dem Text:

"Während der mündlichen Verhandlung gab das Finanzministerium an, dass die Textnachrichten auf dem dienstlichen Mobiltelefon von Lindner gespeichert sind. Mit diesem hatte der Minister in einem "ungeschützten Bereich" mit dem Autolobbyisten kommuniziert. Die SMS seien im Zuge des Gerichtsverfahrens zudem ausgedruckt und so gesichert worden."

Klingt für mich relativ zuverlässig, zumindest besser als auf dem Handy.

in reply to EyesOnNature

@EyesOnNature Es wäre echt zu wünschen, dass die SMS öffentlich wird. Aber so oder so: Das Vertrauen in die Demokratie wird es nicht gerade steigern.

#ProjectHotsauce2025 is a go, I repeat, Project Hotsauce 2025 is a go!

6 x each of Habanero, Cayenne, Tabasco, Jalapeño, Reaper and some bell shaped one I don't know the English name of, and 4 x Lemon Drop.

in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

The Reaper won the race, and by now we have some baby plants from most of the varieties. Only Tabasco and Habanero are still letting us wait...

#ProjectHotsauce2025 went into the next round today, the plants are now in proper pots. Sadly we only have one Cayenne and one Tabasco, and 20 all in all - not the best result but we'll see. We started with 6 Tabasco even, but all but one died 🙁
in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

Update on #ProjectHotsauce2025 - most of the plants have been growing nicely, I'm just worried about the teeny tiny sole Tabasco and slightly worried about the Habaneros at this point.

Time will tell. They'll move outside soon.

in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

i like those grow lights! i’m always looking for nice solutions on a window ledge. what are they?
in reply to Dan

@dfraser Frankly just some cheap generic "full spectrum" LED grow lights I found on Amazon years ago when we started with the chilli growing.

Have them running 12h per day from 06:00 to 18:00

Update on the chillies for #ProjectHotsauce. We've just repotted them into their final home outside.

The Tabasco is probably not going to work out, it's alive but tiny and I don't really see it producing even if it survives the summer. Also worried about some of the others being a bit too unstable (hence a bunch of help).

Most of the Jalapeños are showing buds though, so it really was time.

in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

I just learned last year to trim the first chili blossom. ✂️ 🌸

Doing so the plant will sent more growth power to the other blossoms. This should result in a better crop 🌶️

in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

Current state of our #ProjectHotsauce2025: the Jalapeños are fruiting, the Tabasco has grown a TON and currently I'm winning against the aphids!
in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

what are you doing to fight the aphids? We’re having a problem with them now 😕
in reply to Gina Häußge 🔜 #WHY2025

Holy cow, this Tabasco is really doing its best to catch up and it might actually overtake our Reapers soon 😳

The first picture of the two below is freshly taken just now. There are flowers coming up!

The second picture shows the same plant back when we put the chillies outside in mid May.
