"residential proxy network" is what you call a botnet when it's run by a corporation that will never be prosecuted for doing something that would land a 13 year old in jail for the rest of their life

I once worked at a youth hostel where there was a sign in the kitchen saying "Do not let Timmy dry his socks in the microwave." One night the very Timmy talked me into ignoring it.

Reader, his socks caught fire.

Moonlight surprised us all with stellar blood work and physical exam. She surprised the vet with teeth and claws. #catsofmastodon #geriatriccat #sweetandsour

so let me see if i understand this correctly. the big selling point of your coding assistant is that [checks notes] it "accidentally does cybercrime." did i get that right

Smoke is rolling back in. Had to switch the CR box back on.

First night having to use the CR box due to smoke. I would say it worked pretty well! We had it running in the bedroom and it really made a difference.

Decided to move the 3d printer from the garage to an attachment shed. Think it's going to work out nicely!

@nynros31415926 @rebane2001 no, please don't use Brave and stop promoting it. The founder is a bigot. It was funded by Peter Thiel. They were caught stealing creator donations, and injecting affiliate tracking codes. And they're connected to a bunch of shady crypto stuff. https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/

Was making coffee this morning and the Skyrim theme popped into my head. 🎶

Sewing friends, Costco is selling the Singer Heavy Duty machine for $179.99, which is a great price. This is a really nice general purpose machine for starting your sewing hobby! It'll make crafts, clothes, bags, quilts, it's a good little tank.

- It can easily handle things like denim or canvas, two fabrics a lot of beginning sewists using for things like bags and totes

- It has a strong motor and with regular maintenance will last a long time (I wish I'd kept mine!)

- Specialty presser feet can be a hidden expense with sewing, sometimes they're hard to find in different brands (my Bernina's feet are hard to locate). But Singer's feet are generic and you can get variety packs for $20, very nice!

So far so good.

Summer thunderstorm rolling through!

Audio books need to stop including "previews" of other books. It just padds the listen time and makes a short book seem longer.

The toilet repair yesterday was a success, although I didn't get to the one in the master bathroom. Also got the weather station setup. I got a pretty nice ECOWITT Wittboy Pro Weather Station HP2564. It comes with a 7-in-1 solid state sensor suite WS90.

My brother ce over with his tractor with post hole driller attachment. The hole took about 10 seconds. Then used a gas powered post driver to pound in the pole. Took about another 10 seconds.

I did have to 3rd print a little adapter because the pole was slightly too big, but that turned out great.
