256 — Do you have any other writers in your family?

... It's distant, but my second-cousin, once removed, is this little known author by the name of A. A. Milne.

So, there's a bit of a children's author. He did do one murder tale, but mostly the yellow bear. I've only done one kids thing and holy hell I found it so much harder than adult things.

I'm sticking with adult.

    @feld You can stream just about anything to ffplay, which can forward it to just about anything else. So it shouldn't be hard to put something together.

    @shaknais@mastodon.social avatar

    @feld You can put it inbetween things. Turn it into the bridge.

    It's might be a bit messy, and require programming... But Pipewire can do the Airplay Sink, and then there's this which can bride it to IceCast: https://github.com/radio0but/PipeCast

    But yeah, getting messy.

    ahem. After a little more than seven and a half years, I can walk unaided, without a limp. Last time that lasted a week. The time before that... Was fifteen years ago?

    But eh... I CAN MOTHERFUCKING WALK!

    @melissabeartrix Not quite. But if I manage to get up to running... Wanna run one of the Melbourne marathons? 😁

    Long night so far.

    A call from my sister just after midnight that she’d taken mum to the hospital.

    Been holding bedside vigil while sister goes home and gets some sleep. Doctors running tests and whatnot. Morphine for the pain. Machines that go “bing”.

    It’s about 4:30am and mum’s snoring with a plethora of tubes and wires.

    Eyes are heavy. Chair is uncomfortable. The nurses showed me where I could make a cup of coffee for myself.

    I worked hard on some 3D artwork. Before it will be ready to publish, I need to make a compilation of work-in-progress screenshots and wireframes, to prove that it's not AI-generated, and to avoid people asking what AI prompt I used to generate the image. 😖😖

    @glitchypixel @metin But if you do poison it, people scanning it for AI, will accuse you of using AI.

    This shop in West Melbourne stands out among the Victorian-era architecture. From the 1940s or so, perhaps?

    @melissabeartrix I'd suggest coming and hiding out in Ballarat for a couple days, but the fires are a bit close for comfort.
