Join up!
I've had a bit of a break to recharge, and I'm now available for work again.

I'm available for a maximum of 20h per week. I'm based in the UK but I've frequently worked with US clients in the past.
Please boost!! 🙏 I'd appreciate any leads!
✏️ I'm back to building my own digital music collection
a new blog post, and I'm curious how others do this!

@hdv I highly recommended using https://beets.io/ to organise all your files.
It is great for keeping them in a consistent folder structure. Also gives you a nice library to work with if you want.
@CartyBoston Apparently docker is the alpha and omega these days but I don't want to use it.
Probably just me though
@paulk I still don't use it when I can choose not to.
I can see the appeal but as always there is a tradeoff and I have come to understand myself as a bit of a control freak.
Nächste Woche geht es los: Vom 29.1. bis 19.2. laden das #StabiLab und das #GeheimeStaatsarchiv zum #Editathon "Koloniale Spuren an der Spree - Ein Editathon zum Berliner Seminar für Orientalische Sprache" ein. Jetzt anmelden und dabei sein! Alle Infos 👉 lab.sbb.berlin/sos/
Firearms from a leftist persepective
You should buy a gun and train with it.
I'm no longer convinced this will lull over without mass violence.
You should make friends with your neighbors and friends and train with them
You should stock on bullets
The best time was 10 years ago, the second best time is now!
@Nagaram It's pretty fundamental to anarchism that we're all responsible for protecting one another. We can't leave it to a "protector class" or they eventually become the oppressors.
The spouse and the older kid and I have all had firearms training at this point and are arming up.
Bellingcat has further analysed videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents. The footage shows an agent wearing a black beanie step behind Pretti. His right arm then appears to recoil at the same time the first shot is heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqqUzXiXptk 🧵

I'm not sorry for advocating against VC-funded alternatives like Skylight and Upscrolled
We don't need more dangerous exits (see Elon Musk and Twitter), we need more open platforms, that can't be bought.
Period.
On my way to #fosdem. My hair is greenish blue, I was aiming for turquoise but it ended up more green. Still happy with it.
Any #pokemongo folks going to #fosdem? I've got lots to trade including regionals and unowns.
@spot me
@theorangetheme @davidgerard @zzt I’ve seen compelling arguments that, here in the U.S. at least, the normalization of gambling via the legalization of sports betting really opened to floodgates to a lot of this brain-pickled bullshit.

Our NEW Convergence Hub is now available. https://furilabs.com/shop/convergence-hub/
Prepare to be shocked.
You will think I am kidding.
I still use Google Cloud Platform for a bunch of services I could easy host locally on spare machines lying around were it not for my dependence on static IPs.
Not #Mastodon! Mastodon requires tons of fast network as well.
Wow.
You've spent 1452 hours or 60+ days of cumulative continuous watch time on https://loops.video For You Feed.
Let this be known, people do want and use algorithmic feeds on the fediverse.
@davidgerard The “gatcha" model is definitely a part of it. Last few weeks I’ve been up close and personal with people deep into this shit in multiple ways (vibe-coders, chatbot fanciers, etc) and their brains are utterly pickled. I haven't seen so many disorders on display since the last serial killer convention.
@angry_drunk you must understand they've never been so *effective* get with the programme or be left behind
