In my attempt to wean myself of cloud music services, I've been delving through the game OST list I have, and a relatively recent addition really hit it out of the park.

A fun mix of cyberpunk Ghost in the Shell influences with a dubstep beats, on top of definite NIN and Mick Gordon Quake and DOOM FPS roots:

REVEL - Sprawl OST

It's a bit outside of my usual tastes, but it is very fun and I think it matches the game to a T.

Part of my frustration with #ActivityPub and one of the things I find baffling giving everything else in it: the lack of tools for backpressure.

Backpressure is fundamental in building reliable distributed systems (c.f., Notes on Distributed Systems for Young Bloods). From a C2S perspective I get why it wouldn't need to be specified, but from a S2S federated protocol perspective its absence is frustrating.

All that it says is to take care not to overwhelm others and a bit on rate limits

I'm going to Paris in a couple of weeks for #OW2con and trying to get excited about stuff to do in Paris but failing. Any suggestions on how to get hyped about this trip?

Challenges include: being gluten free, not being able stand or walk at museum speed for very long, needing to avoid COVID, not liking superciliousness or disdain, thinking most France-adjacent movies are sexist garbage, and being far too large to buy most French clothes :)
