Beating the heatwave with fun!

What would be a secure minded way to utilize an instance to be a digital scratch pad, a time keeper maybe, journal, or other personal items? Just lock down a home spun instance on a VPS and single login? Riffing thoughts is all. I get that there are services for these things, but it doesn't mean ActivityPub would be off table for it I guess.

Happy Goose Value Day (7/1) to all who celebrate and/or use month-day date formatting! 🪿

Did I post these photos from yesterday's hikes? Washington Pass and Rainy Lake. #HikeWashington #Cascades #NorthCascades

The Korean alphabet, called Hangul, is the only major writing system in human history with a known inventor and a documented design rationale — created in 1443 by King Sejong of the Joseon dynasty, who designed each consonant to physically represent the position of the tongue and lips during the corresponding sound, and published a companion document explaining exactly why each letter looked the way it did

Good job #tidal, I hope that gets you more people from spotify.
Got an email stating Tidal will not tolerate AI gen music impersonating others, and will put notifications on music that uses it. It will also not allow monitizing on full AI music. I like transparency on this. They won't slop. :D

when I was on reddit that one time, I did like r/place. My main mission on that was to help propagate John Dillerman's enormously silly red and white dong. #random

Look. Life is chaos. But right now, right here, a rare moment in time so still. Every one of them, in cold and contemplitive harmony, reflecting a version of the world around them in unison. So. *exhales . . .serene. #toolbox
Yea, I remember doing this the other day, I am just not used to opening one of these and all of a set is in it's place. Sometimes organization is DISTRACTING. Blame it on my add baby.

I made a little cardigan (blowfish for scale)

And then Sandra Clause was there the whole time as a female cohort to the winter fellow.

That simple cargo strap winder was well worth making!

Got my ratchet straps rolled up in seconds after using them today.

Before I'd just chuck them somewhere to deal with later and then next time they had become some kind of entangled knot of great annoyance. Or spend ages winding them by hand.

I have dubbed it "Jonas Winder" 😀

It also has since passed the firehose winding test, although you need a strong drill that can go slow enough (such as this one) for that.

"There are colors that I want to show you, but I can’t. They exist in the real world. You probably saw some of them today, but I can’t show them to you on a screen. A digital photograph can’t capture them, and your screen can’t display them. No game you’ve ever played has contained them. Unless you have specialized equipment, they are entirely absent from the digital world.

Most of them are cyans."

Did I totally overengineer winding embroidery floss onto a bobbin? Maybe.

Did I have fun? Absolutely.
