How reading books regulates your nervous system
Books don’t just stimulate the mind — they trigger physiological changes throughout the body.

640,000 have now watched my analysis on Trump. If this gets to a million, drinks are on me. 😀
@randahl
You know Randahl, all regimes eventually fall and Trump’s certainly will. But the at what cost…

No one warns you when you adopt a long-haired cat
How many times you’ll vacuum every day
How you’ll see ghostly fur tumbleweeds skitter across the floor
How you’ll get the fine hairs stuck in your eyeballs and on your tongue
How no surface will ever be completely free of cat hair, despite your best efforts
That is the price for all this softness
Happy Thorsday!

would you still morge me continvoucly if i was a feature branch
@jerry1970 @zelf @solarcast Yes, much better! A bit louder than some of the other podcasts I listen to, a bit quieter than others, so about perfect I'd say.
Interesting episode too!
@gmc @solarcast tack så mycket! 😊
Fedi people, do you have a website or blog or personal wiki or some other kind of online Thing That You Control Yourself that other people can find you on that isn't paid for / maintained by someone else, meaning YOUR THING is at a web address like you.whatever, not at you.someonelse.whatever or someoneelse.whatever/you, I mean are you paying the tenner a year or however much for a whole-ass domain name all for yourself (or for you and a small group of IRL friends), and if not do you want to be, THE POLL, and here is the guidance and elaboration on options:
1) No and I don't want my own site, Fedi and/or other social media scratches that itch for me just fine and I'm content with this arrangement
2) No, but I have a Vague Yearning or a Curious Itch and I wonder sometimes what it would be like, but so far it's just feelings and not plans, I haven't taken any concrete steps towards making My Own Website a real thing that exists, but I'm comfortable saying that I would probably *like* it to exist some day when I'm ready
3) No, but more of a Not Yet than a no; maybe I've bought a domain name and not put anything on it yet, or I haven't yet bought a domain name but I'm researching my options (whether I do it in a lazy few minutes here and there or in focused making-notes sort of study, both count for the purposes of this question), I've spent some time thinking about this With Intent, and I feel less "*wouldn't* this be nice" and more "*won't* this be nice" about this endeavour
4) Yes I own at least one domain name, come on Dan this is Fedi, and at least one of my domains even have websites or services associated with them
@ifixcoinops I have a Neocities site, and I keep meaning to get my own domain

This year, Pikachu turns 30. Zelda and Link hit 40, and Donkey Kong celebrates his 45th. How did Japan's gaming icons reach middle age, and what's in store for them once they're officially over the hill? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/02/20/digital/game-pokemon-anniversary-nintendo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #nintendo #pokemon #zelda #donkeykong #anniversaries #videogames
@thejapantimes I’m guessing pulled muscles and sore joints, but what do I know?
datacentre project status so far for those who give a shit:
- agreed to pricing and terms from interactive (42ru rack, 4kw power & 1x cross-connect) & aussie broadband (1gbit DIA & /28 subnet) for a total of $2626/m inc. GST, been waiting all week for them to send me a contract to sign, silence since monday arvo
- will have 30RU & 2kw spare for a while, worked out I can sub-lease this out to anyone interested for about 60c per watt per month (e.g: if your server uses 150W it's $90/m inc GST) with unlimited fair use of the 1gbit link, your own IP address, OOB/console access via tailscale and your own access card to the rack/DC
- waiting for CPUs & RAM to arrive from overseas to fill up one of the supermicro servers, ETA for CPU is 5th March, ETA for RAM is monday
- waiting to hear back from various aussie supermicro partners if they can get me an NVMe kit for my server, going to keep scouring EU & US sites in the meantime
- mucking around with virtfusion instead of proxmox for the BYO HDD idea, seems great for what i need, hope it doesn't throw any surprises at me while I'm testing it
- catching up next week with a former colleauge who is the smartest network engineer I know to get some tips & sanity check my network design so I don't fuck it up when people start paying me (i've been off the tools for a while!)
- pretty much decided on an Arista 7050TX-64 as a switch (48x 10gbps RJ45 ports & 4x 40gbps QSFP+ ports) and OPNsense as a router, I still need to decide on a cheap, but power efficient 1RU box to that has at least two 10gbps SFP ports to run it on
- building a website & community forum, along with some documentation
- eta for starting to move gear into the DC is april 13th
most urgent thing i want to sort out is the NVMe kit for the server, these are the parts I need
BPN-NVMe4-228N-S4 - backplane
4x MCP-220-00178-0B - drive trays
CBL-PWEX-1093-26 - power cable
2x CBL-SAST-1049 - SlimSAS (SFF-8654) to SlimSAS (SFF-8654) cables
the drive trays are easy, they're on ebay but the rest is a real pain - will cost more in shipping than the parts themselves from various european vendors

I remember thinking this one was really funny when it came out, I'm pretty sure I'd been reading the comic for a while by this point, considering it's from 2006

This might be the quintessential pre-ai era questionable content comic, it's absolutely hilarious, it's all based around word play and jokes and yet it is building towards a major romance arc
