I have an old thinkpad that's survived a decade and a half and been retired to siting alone next to some speakers and sometimes playing music. Well tonight, completely out of the blue, I found the whole thing COVERED in a solid black layer of ants.

Sure, there's probably a couple ancient crumbs under the keyboard but like WTF? There are ants nowhere else in the house. Did they try to form a colony in the laptop because it was warm?

@rechelon … as described in Termination Shock : fire ants destroying AirCo-s because they love ozone generated by on/off switching & die for it…

The poem: Vergeet hen niet
Wanneer je over straat loopt
En de fluitende vogels
Jou niet herinneren aan suizende kogels
Vergeet hen niet
Wanneer de laaguliegende vliegtuigen
Jou doen denken aan vakantie Maar hen aan dood en verderf
Vergeet hen niet
Wanneer je doden van toen herdenkt
En jouw stilte en geld
Mensen van nu ombrengt

Don't forget them

When you walk down the street

And the whistling birds

Don't remind you of whizzing bullets

Don't forget them

When the low-lying planes

Make you think of vacation But them of death and destruction

Don't forget them

When you commemorate the deaths of then

And your silence and money

Kills People of the present day'

Did an end-to-end test. Towed the kayak with my bike 5 miles to the lake, then disassembled the cart and stowed it in the kayak. Folded up the bike and bungeed it down on the rear deck. Went kayaking around the lake for a while, then reversed everything and biked back home.

It's a lot slower than putting the kayak on the car, but... I gotta say, it felt pretty awesome to head out knowing I could go anywhere there's water or a trail. And switch between them as needed.

My kayak out on Lake Natoma. Some shallow submerged rocks are on the right. The water is an unattractive greenish-brown.
The assembled kayak cart with my kayak on it. My fold-up bike is attached in the front, ready to tow the whole thing.

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

@molly0xfff thanks for calling it a “web” & not “Internet” ! I love the gardening analogy ! Myself, I’ve lamented this loss in 2012 & dreamed of a better future networks : decentralized, meshed, participatory, altruistic, “free”… utopian. here’s a link to that old article, still hosted on my (rented) place on the web: https://becha.home.xs4all.nl/hackers-philosophers-utopian-network-dec-2012-becha.pdf
