PSA: just because you CAN pick up the 200 pound generator by yourself doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Especially at my age apparently.

I had a dream last night that Linux was renamed “systemdOS”. My reptilian brain seems to be too in touch with reality. Bring back the man eating snakes made out of rolls of insulation. At least that was tolerable.

Reminds me of a meme I’m still proud of all these years later.

Been rearranging my office and the place that I record from. My orchid wall has been banished to the family room and that gave me a nice corner to point into.

Here the the view from my side.

@InsiderTreat @badnetmask @j4yc33 @liaizon thank you! I will go with that till I feel adventurous again

My wife and I just finished our mandatory winter storm French toast breakfast. I still don’t understand why it is mandatory, but i will say it was delicious. I hope y’all are safe and warm.

Google released its plan for opting out of its AI https://youtube.com/shorts/qnBWMcKKkKE?si=MnLxFNzzX8n3JAEo

If you run a mastodon instance, it's time to upgrade. There are some security issues fixed in the version released today: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.5.5

This gimbal is pretty cool. It’ll help me record my photography videos. https://youtube.com/shorts/hz4n0ZlJNIU?si=bBInH9qiH5KbU5FM

Gnocchi and Cruzan just went home. For the first time in 31 years, the Bell House has 0 cats 😢

And just like that, my kids are all grown and gone 😢

And just like that I have my own recording and photo studio 😁

My son has had so many drone deliveries over the past week that the novelty has worn off. He can’t get them at the place he’s moving on Friday so getting it all out of his system, I guess.

I typically see one or two deliveries to other houses each time I walk my dog too. I can wait till FedEx realizes they can fling packages out of the back of a cargo plane as they fly overhead.

Saying goodbye to the cats is super hard. I’ve grown to love them very much, and while I’ll get to visit them, they won’t really remember me, at least the way they know me now. 😞

I’ll be an empty nester a week from today. That makes me sad. I am losing a son (and someone that has become a daughter) and their cats, but I am gaining a photography and recording studio. I am definitely looking forward to having a dedicated space for that. Fair warning for your timelines, though.

There are kids zipping around the neighborhood on their mini e-mountain bikes that they (presumably) for for Xmas, and I’m torn between “they’re going to get themselves killed” and “damn, I was born at the wrong time”

I’m thinking about buying one of the harnesses for my dog that will let me support her back end while we walk and on stairs. I am a little skeptical on how comfortable it is though. Anyone have experience using one of those with their elderly dogs?

I remember when the FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something
