@aphyr i’m listening to this album on youtube, intermittently breaking out into uncontrolled laughter. then reading the comments, sounds like it had a real… effect on lots of lads / lasses.

@pamelafox @timbray for fried eggs we’ve had good success with cast iron, for scrambled eggs i use either this 8 or 10” all clad which are heavy and a bit awkward around the handle but fine for what they are (the handle was really designed for a much lighter pan) https://a.co/d/25oCtRh

@stillmoms @siracusa renting an a6600 or an fuji x100v or what have you would go a long way especially if you only pack two lenses (can’t speak to the ricohs). i loved the rx100 but the biggest flaw is the “startup time.” if you’re mostly shooting wide a cheap pancake gets you pretty far when you’re in a dense area like tokyo or kyoto and makes it a lot easier to carry one-handed and then you only need to worry about recharging at night. when you get out of the city a longer lens can be nice but you’re basically only packing that, not really a whole lot more gear. i wouldn’t bring a full sized a7 unless you’re committed, i brought one to hawaii and it felt like too much most of the time (i still liked it, but i knew what i was getting into), but the a6000+16mm and 35mm that lived in my backpack i took to japan felt just right and never really got in my way. for context, here are my lightroom stats for that trip, almost entirely 16mm the whole time. https://flickr.com/photos/72809415@N00/sets/72157667936868875

@joeatwork are the nulls in the room with us right now, joe?

i am haunted by the phrase “one source for all things horse”

@quinn im sorry but for better or worse i read “ted nelson addresses this” like “bitcoin solves this” and i couldn’t stop giggling

this is a spiritual continuation of an old tweet thread of mine https://tweets.generic.cx/1538343171305906177/

til that using capset to give node port 80 privileges prevents it from using the node_options env var to, eg. set max-old-space-size. i assume this is a security thing in v8?

@siracusa @joubin paprika is great but also worth checking out mela. i migrated my 8 year old paprika library into it with no problem and tend to prefer it, but honestly they’re both great!! https://mela.recipes/

You know what? I think Oquonie is complete.

For the past two months @rek and I ported a game of ours for its 10th years anniversary since iOS updates broke it beyond repair.

It has been rewritten to target a virtual machine, which should(hopefully) help us keeping it playable. In the next few days I'll release a document that explains how to write an emulator to run the game.

@quinn i’ve had a set of technics 1200s since 2002, the tonearm is the weakest part (naturally) and it plays records just fine imo. all my audiohead friends kinda dismiss it or politely say nothing, but it’s a solid build and great quality, feels the opposite of the delicate you get from Actually Nice turntables, i only worry about the needle getting bounced around by houseguests and even not that much tbh

lmao at my cocteau twins nostalgia inadvertently being part of some cratedigger segment/facet in the spotify dw algorithm https://www.vulture.com/2023/04/spotify-discover-weekly-songs-essay.html

@bryanjclark (grover voice) oh no

free mental image: (furry, lovable) grover during a performance review

@jeremyosborn to be clear i’m absolutely sympathetic to the author/book, but ya know, it’s a real hilarious move which i’m sure is not daunting once you do it or if, you know, your restaurant’s daily prep work involves this
