Welcome back to the 90's!
This one's from September 1991.

Wandering around in my digital storage and stumbled into a folder containing ~170K midi files. A lot of them are pretty good!

My buddy Bruce started with my company this week back in 1977. He’s a sharp cowboy who could’ve retired years ago, but loves his work. He’ll probably hang on another year or two. Congratulations on 45 years!

We’ve been whining about these newfangled hard hats for a bit, but won’t be after this week. One of my friends and coworkers was involved in a serious accident on Tuesday when a tower crane somehow swung and caught a column form he was on top of. The whole 1000lb mess fell over on him and his body is badly broken. He is expected to make a full recovery, but that probably wouldn’t be true if he had an old hard hat on and fell the way he did 14’. They cost $500, but worth every penny.

I have a few hours to myself today. Getting some work done without distraction is amazing!

@Big_Diggity There's honestly just less messing around to get a working system with Mint and you can still customize it if desired. I use I3 a lot and enjoy Cool Retro Term. This box is connected to the living room TV and we all use it for everything. Most visitors think it's weird, but it works for us!

@tanjaostman That sounds tough! Where I live now is only a little higher in latitude from where I grew up and difference in sun is noticeable. Do you just hibernate?

Our pastor has been caught associating with the AI's.😂

@atyh Freedom and profit are directly proportional if you look beyond a financial quarter...I hope.

@atyh I'm not sure what I was expecting with Starlink, but they could do a lot of interesting things to promote freedom inside their network while still connecting to the internet. Why couldn't they have their own "space" domain system and extend that to the moon and beyond? Throw out the restrictions like hosting from a modem that we have on land.

@atyh This absolutely! Being able to sift through history to grab the good and learn to avoid the bad is such an advantage. Cars are great and I've never really understood the hate they get. Yes, they pollute and yes, they kill and maim a lot of people, but look at what they enable! Freedom to go and see all sorts of places, to expand work opportunities, emergency shelter, etc. I've know folks who had to live in their car for a season. A person with a cell phone and a car are capable of a lot.

@GettingCooked@noagendasocial.com I’ve never built a cob oven, but it looks good! The cracks have to come from drying shrinkage right? Either that or expansion from heating. I work with concrete and it is a given that it will crack, the trick is managing where the cracks will be. Does the cob slough off on the inside over time?

@GettingCooked@noagendasocial.com Honestly, my guess is that drying lots of thinner layers would result in fewer large cracks than one big pour.

@rhett There are lots of XMPP clients that do that, but I don’t know of one app that works well for both platforms. Conversations for Android is good and Monal for iOS is what I use.

I think awk is the best tool for a project I’m working on, but I’ve never really learned it. Mostly I’ve just copied what others have done. It looks like the sort of thing that I’ll be able to wrap my head around in about an hour, but will have to re-learn in a year because I will have forgotten everything.

Well the new Willow show isn't very good. Gotta keep pushing "the agenda" rather than focusing on writing something good.

Is there some trick to cleaning out a French press, maybe a rubber spatula or something? It’s a pretty ungraceful process that I’ve been doing longer than I’d like to admit.
