TFW your spouse's iMac has 20Mb(!) free out of 2Tb because they tried to use Adobe Cloud for something and now all attempts to reboot keep hanging (filesystem is okay, though) so the next step is to try for Target Disk mode and a cable to a laptop in order to delete cached junk and logfiles until it will boot enough for them to clean up properly …

UNIXen have never been great about coping with full disks/SSDs, but this is a new nadir, and fuck you very much, Adobe Creative Suite.

@jwz @cstross I still have my 2012 Macbook Pro because it has a Windows 2000 VM where I can run my old student-license Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 8.0 installs from 1999!

good, even with the glue seams from assembling four tiled sheets, it folds pretty well into a reasonable size (4 3/8 by 6 1/2 inches / 11 by 27 cm)

I mean, not that anyone’s going to use it that way, but it’s nice to know it works.

ugh. no matter how long i cut the thread, it is never enough for the portion i have sew by hand.

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@blogdiva I absolutely don't try. Unless it's like three or four stitches, I thread a needle with an arm's length of thread and if I have some left over I tie it off and use it next time. (Yes I'll have a few needles threaded with different colours at times. This actually works out for me so now it's kind of a mending hack. xD )

LB: If Musk is claiming Signal has unpatched security vulns while he at the same time is pushing Telegram (which is not E2E encrypted by default and does not support encrypted group chats), I have a two word explanation of Elon and his claims for you:

Russian Asset.

That's really all there is to say. Witting or unwitting.

@grrrr_shark Musk backing the extremely fash- and literally-Hitler-friendly Telegram is indeed the opposite of surprising.

First round of dried spinach! It’s amazingly little! xD

I should end up with about 2.5 times this and I think that’ll be enough to try it.

Not quite 2.5 times as I had originally. A little less, but more than two and a third times.

Weren't they supposed to travel to the center of the Earth which is 6000 km from the surface?

I doubt they travelled more than 2 km down. 🤔

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@kcarr2015 we know they made it over 1.6km because that fake-sky underground ocean had a ceiling > 1 mile up so

They aren't biological clones, they're time clones. He's either doing short loops through time for work efficiency, or he's making some sort of time paradox clones. Or he made them by accident trying to get 'home' to his time.

@lytta yeah i was thinking they're all little time loop selves, some rick and morty shit without the morty or the humour

Comparing the Wells adaption to the Verne adaption, I have to give the edge to Wells.

But my sample space is 2, so more research is necessary.

AMAZING FACTS

Your homebrew filament dryer can also be used to dehydrate food if you didn’t homebrew it too much!

( xD )

(I want to make a particular kind of spinach feta bread but I have to dry a bunch of spinach first ^_^ )

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@jigmedatse It's a good secondary use!

They should make devices for drying food, I'm sure there'd be a market.

What Your Piano Says About You: A Thread

1/🧵

You don't play the piano and you don't know anyone who does. What you do have is money. Lots of it. You are either a doctor or a lawyer by profession. The piano is likely placed in a prominent location in your expansive house, such as tucked under the stairs, where the sound can be muffled, or next to a bay window, where it can echo weirdly off the glass. The lid of your grand piano is always closed. There are photographs of you and your wife and kids arranged tastefully on the top and a soft accent lamp on the left hand side of the music desk which absolutely will not illuminate any part of the music adequately.

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@Lana Here, can I offer you one?

: You fucking hate keyboards but go ahead, what else are you gonna use for midi input, a tablet? Oh no, no no no. That hell comes later.
