Never bothered to code it before, but I can now mark episodes of the Podnews Daily as "explicit”. Today will be one of those days.

I just want to do a little podcast where we talk about neat things that we like and maybe get to rant a little every so often and have everyone on who wants to be kind and scheduling isn’t hard and enough people listen that it’s validating but not so many that it’s mentally exhausting.

Slow Vacation

As an experiment, I did a vacation recently where I went somewhere warm with bodies of water and did basically nothing but read books by those bodies of water the whole time. I know many people had figured out this kind of vacation long ago, but it was my first time, and I can report that it ruled. Try it if you haven’t.

Yes! I’m returning to the States for a week or so in September. If you’d like to meet up I’m trying to gauge interest as to where and when. Details here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/arizona-2024-103650329

@scottaw Hey Scott, Just doing a tidy up of Fediverse Cyou and the last post from your account there was Nov, 2022. Pretty sure you’re active on Social.lol these days so is it okay if I close out the old one? Let me know. Thanks.

For those running a Raspiblitz at home and an LCD using the WaveShare 35a driver (that’s probably about 0 other people) be aware that v1.11 switched the base OS to Debian Bookworm and the display driver stack is completely different. Practical upshot: when running the Blitz the LCD is now black after boot up. Everything else works fine thoug, so there’s that.

Happy Bitcoin Halving! Not sure how to feel about it to be honest…but it just happened…again.

Other: “I disagree with that logic”

@DanDud Hey Dan! Just cleaning up this instance and noticed you haven’t posted anything since Nov 2022. Are you still using the account?I think you’re active on Twitter under CtrlAltDud, and if you’re not using it let me know if I can archive it. Thank you!

@Ronnie Hi Ronnie, Just an FYI that I’m tidying up unused accounts and your old Fediverse CYOU account hasn’t been used (ever). Seeing as how you’re pretty active on App-Dot-Dot-NET-Dot hopefully it’s okay if I deactivate the unused one.

For the record, I no longer use an iPad Pro. I got rid of it and switched to an iPad Air 5th Gen with a Smart Keyboard Folio and Apple Pencil 2 for editing my Podcasts in Ferrite. I got 64GB of storage and the WiFi only model, and it’s M1 chip is almost as fast as my M2 Macbook Air. The new iPads hold zero interest to me. This will be my iPad for the next 5 years minimum.

Wow this is getting tiring. No easy way to automate it either. I’ve made it up to 2015 in the Substack import. On the plus side, I’m also taking the opportunity to correct minor glitches on TechDistortion directly as I have to look at each article one by one. So that’s a plus I suppose?

I’m enjoying the Aurora from Brisbane, or rather I WOULD be, if these STUPID CLOUDS WOULD DUCK OFF!!

Believe it or not…the entire TechDistortion Archive has now been added to SubStack and are in the correct order with all images added and thumbnails created. So ends Phase 1. More to come, but I need a break.

Mona compliment: I love timeline sync between devices as well as Mute lists. So great! :)

A man walks past a sad Bitcoin miner in the street and asks, “What happened today, are you okay?” The Bitcoin miner responded: “I’m sorry…it’s just now I’m half the miner I used to be…”

I’ve had some requests from fans of my work to publish to Substack. As a first step in that direction I thought I’d start by importing my TechDistortion feed (324 articles). And I posted a new one about it: https://johnchidgey.substack.com/p/techdistortion-parallel-posting-in?r=2lm8y7

43 posts in to the Substack import and ready for a break. Until I’m finished, the posts will be out of sequence…oh well.

chidgey, 1 month ago to random

Almost done, now up to October 2020 and I’ve done more than enough today. Will finish TD import to Substack tomorrow.

For those interested, I’ve now finsihed back-importing all TEN Posts to my Substack. The next step is to try Patreon posts. This will be interesting…

I’m struggling with the latest season of Doctor Who, I’m not gonna lie. Curious about @vichudson1 and @cwdaly thoughts on it.

For those following along after the Causality Callide C episode, this was published today but behind a paywall: “Lawyers for Dr Brady said the forensic engineer had been willing to hand over his documents to the court, but had been restrained from doing so by the privilege claims.” https://www.couriermail.com.au/business/qld-business/stateowned-cs-energy-wants-the-federal-court-to-keep-callide-c-explosion-report-secret/news-story/68dcf1992fea3f7a3de1fa4f0cf30e95

As I said in the episode, I’m not convinced we’ll ever see that report made fully public. They’ll probably release a redacted version but god knows when.
