You know the term sensory hell probably.
But there's also sensory bliss.
For me that's often from certain kinds of music.
Sometimes I get into a good kind of trance from that.
One example I found today:

Just listen at those beautiful harmonics, the nice overtone rich sounds of the santur (makes me think of getting one and learning to play sometimes).
But also that flute like instrument (if you know what it is exactly, please tell).
And the interesting clearly not belcanto but beautiful in a very different way voice.
(And what's the other string instrument? Oud?)
got an email about a price change to my bitwarden renewal a couple weeks ago, but was traveling so didn't look into it in depth. did think it was weird i didn't remember a broader announcement though. charge hit today which reminded me to take a look and eesh, this doesn't sound promising? 😬
@carolou Hi there, more on the commitment to the free plan in this blog post: https://bitwarden.com/blog/my-first-100-days-at-bitwarden/
Inclusivity and transparency are still part of the Bitwarden values under Gratitude and Trust (they weren't removed): https://bitwarden.com/careers/

Proposal to use “shree” as shorthand for “large shrub or small tree”

Purchases from Uline fund this. If you didn’t know, I’m glad to hopefully ruin that company for you.
@sudelsurium @jean
Mir fällt noch @LandesarchivBW und @bsbmuenchen, aber da ist das Sammlungsgebiet wohl nicht getroffen.
@PiiiepsBrummm @sudelsurium @jean @LandesarchivBW @bsbmuenchen Bei der @ddbkultur konnte ich es nicht direkt finden. Auch ansonsten recht schwer recherchierbar. Ich versuche es gerne Morgen nochmal, derweil habe ich folgendes gelernt: https://ahnp.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/journals/rihajournal/article/view/70295/70099
BusPatrol plans to scan the license plates of all vehicles the buses drive past, and then let law enforcement search that data. The plan would essentially turn school buses into roaming surveillance vehicles.
@404mediaco Just NO. Nope. Nopety-nope nope.

Abandoned since 1959, Flekkuvík now belongs to the Icelandic State. Apparently, there were plans to build an aluminium plant there, but thankfully, nothing came of it. #Iceland #photography #streetphotography #nature #landscape #naturephotography #landscapephotography #abandoned #decay #concrete

No, not you too 😭
@Gargron @JMarkOckerbloom and there goes any chance I will renew my yearly donation

finally got a close up look at some puffins on Staffa last week 🖤

kudos to this researcher who noticed with his butterflies the same thing I notice with my bees (i.e. that they love him) and then set out to demonstrate, with serious and careful research methods, the persistence of caterpillar memories after metamorphosis, and also cross-generational epigenetics?? reminds me of those flatworm memory studies, impressive science. also the researcher is 10 years old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhESxrqPjfU
Illustrating environmental tipping points via an LLM-generated image is… an interesting choice 😒
Ambitious plans for space-based solar power face steep costs and engineering hurdles, making them far less practical than rapidly advancing terrestrial renewables. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/05/26/world/solar-in-space/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #meta #overviewenergy #spacex #space #solar #internationalspacestation #spaceforce #starlink #blueorigin #jeffbezos #amazon #starcloud #alphabet #china #elonmusk #satellites
@thejapantimes Maybe it is a front for creating space-based weapons.
Nearly ate a ladybug in the middle of a meeting, as the poor thing thought it would be clever to crawl into the straw of my water bottle. 🐞🙈
unfortunately, signal has more recently taken on a new cryptographer who keeps saying really odd shit. and he decided to move away from double ratchet and go all-in on lattice methods: https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/078.pdf.
if you scroll to page fucking SIXTY you'll see him admit that moving away from the elliptic curve crypto of the double ratchet protocol to FULL QUANTUM actually lost protection against adversarial randomness, in order to be safe from the quantum boogeyman
in fact, double ratchet was actually the first protocol to demonstrate resistance against adversarial randomness. you should read this 2020 paper on ratcheting!
in fact, this paper actually introduced adversarial randomness for the first time, discovering it as a specific property of the double ratchet cryptosystem.
isn't it cool how we can discover new theory from applied math? i love that type of shit
