On a break from my 5 year world tour.

Recently diagnosed with colon cancer so a lot of my posts now are going to be about that. I’ll CW any super graphic stuff but consider this a CW: cancer for my entire feed.

Currently: 🇺🇸
Previously: 🇯🇵🇰🇷🇹🇼🇳🇿🇳🇱

I love cats. And dogs.

I love that I spent over $1000 on a tv and I use it to watch TV shows from the 90s in standard def

In Norway, while recording a broadcast, a huge fish crashed into the journalist’s face

A video has gone viral on social networks in which a correspondent from a Norwegian TV channel talks about the strongest storm in the country in the last 30 years.

After a sudden meeting with a fish, the journalist lost his footing and fell, after which he was covered by a wave.

What happened only amused him.

ok, last post from me

I went to a keyboard meetup a couple of years ago and brought a bunch of the fam with me.

Then I went to a different meetup all the way in DC and brought a bunch of the fam with me PLUS lots of others did. Huge pile of keyboards on the table.

Some day I should bust out the whole collection and lay it out. I'd need a much larger table though haha

same table later, some keyboards have changed around. there’s a large plush mx switch and keycap and a couple of beverage bottles.
my setup at a meetup: going row by row starting from the top left: Osprette by S’mores, choc robin switches, mbk rainbow color caps reviung41 with chocv2 switches and some random kbdfans NP caps an apple magic keyboard with touchid “because everyone needs a gaming keyboard” 🤣 corne with choc mini switches (they are completely terrible), “band of rejects” mbk keycaps absolem with zilent v2 switches and some random kbdfans NP caps A typematrix 2030, the board that got me away from pain rectangles way back in 2010 or so zaphod with choc robins, mbk colored and “holo” (prototype) keycaps cornelius with boba u4 and MT3 extended 2048 caps architeuthis dux (aka a.dux) with choc robins and mbk keycaps, mounted to manfrotto mini tripods using splitkb tenting pucks corne-ish zen with “clurpz” (choc purpz switches modded with clickbars to make them clicky) and mbk various color caps reviung34 with durock t1 silent and KAT cyberspace keycaps reviung41 with boba u4 and random kbdfans NP caps zaphod “lite” with choc robins and mbk color caps

Really awesome that so much of Reddit’s automated moderation features and input validation is done by you submitting a post and then hoping it doesn’t get deleted and then trying again when it does, from scratch.

comically, the way to enable "true color" support in neovim is apparently to set your TERM to a -256color variant. So all of those shenanigans I did with termcap dbs and setting TERM and such to get emacs to work with tmux-24bit, etc... yea just throwing that away.

computers, sometimes.

Has anyone at any of the streaming services done any piracy lately? Do they realize what they’re competing against? And that shoving ads into people’s faces is just going to push them to piracy?

It’s so trivial and such a great experience. I download a file, add it to my torrent client, and a little while later I just boop and watch it on my tv, phone, iPad, laptop, fridge, whatever.

No ads.

Glorious.

@dantleech yea the fact that I can use my UI of choice is also really nice.

And honestly Plex is so good. Like it even has the friggin theme song playing in the background when I’m browsing a series. And all it is is a folder full of video files haha

But sure let’s put some more ads in haha

Looks like I might get Day 1 of Dry January in the bag.

Also, picked up my phone to use the calculator 15 minutes ago. Need to buy a separate calculator

@dantleech oooo not even a PLUS! My high school had hundreds of these!

@dantleech I was the weird kid who had the TI-92 instead of the 83 so it was like I had a mini laptop on me.

I never made the leap from writing (terrible) BASIC to writing asm programs for it even though it fully supported that. I did have some fun asm programs I could load up on it though!

Just watched Oppenheimer.

It’s amazing how much they got scarecrow to look like Batman at the end.

A long time ago a read a book called “cooking for geeks”. One of the things it kept harping on was “experiment, the worst that can happen is you order a pizza”

I just ordered a pizza.

No.

I will not pay for a service and continue to get ads shoved in my face.

You get to choose:

  • Ads.
  • My money.

Not both.

And if you have ads you won’t get my eyeballs either because ads can go die in a fire.

The craziest part of chemo is when the nurse walks in with full body PPE to hang the bag of liquid that’s about to get pumped directly into your heart.

Hey what are your favorite n95/kn95 masks? I’ve been just using surgical masks in places where I needed a mask but now that I’m a chemo patient I definitely want to make sure I get as strong of filtering as I can get.

Comfort is the most important criteria.

One thing I hate about mastodon not having full text search only hashtags is the proliferation of instagram style “5000 hashtags on every post”.

Really wish hashtags could be metadata rather than in-post so they could still be searched but at least not shit up the actual content
