@sundogplanets neither did I. I knew the action but had to look up the (english) word for it. My cat does it to me too.
May I remind you of earlobe nibbling? It seems to be a cross-species phenomenon.

Sooo I wrote two NekoDeck services, one to receive video notifications from YouTube, and one to pull the details and send events like "stream-scheduled/started/stopped"...

"In practice, most alternative search engines are backed by Google or Bing, or authoritarian states such as Russia and China. The lack of diversity in search engines makes it terrifyingly easy to censor information on the web, even if this is not intentional, having every major search engine be based in United States imposes a significant cultural bias on the rest of the world using these services."

Wake up, babe. BASH is back.

This is a reposting of a 2024 piece from an unpublished 2023 piece. It was a test case on the old NoBlogs site and is, once again, BASH's first piece.

The new site is a little different, slightly updated, but should feel familiar.

We'll be moving the old archives over for a while and then we'll probably put something together about the moment -- the death of NoBlogs -- that necessitated this move.

Ah well, la lucha sigue. 🖤

Did someone make "goose was not valued" stickers yet? I might be in need of some.

(And I'm napping, can't search from bed!)

This I Learned: to confuse invaders, Brussels ofen has two names for train stations and posts their signs at least ten meters apart.

Your travel app gives one, and you see another out the window. Until of course you disregard the station and see the second sign after the doors have closed.

Diabolical.
