Exactly one year ago today, a feral cat who liked to hang out in our back yard allowed me to pat him on the head for the first time. I got a video of this moment! He seemed to like it. We got to this point over a few months, from him running away instantly when he saw us, to hissing at us, to accepting food, to this. Over the last year, he's learned to meow and purr (did neither for a looong time) and just this week he jumped on my desk while I was working for the first time. This is Meec...

Dunno if anyone on the fedi is interested in these musical "synthesiser" things at all but on the off-chance one of you might be, this would be a good watch. ๐ https://youtu.be/dPonomCew5M

If you picked up a 6 year old laptop recently, and it's missing a screw from the bottom cover and looks like someone may have cracked it open at some point, maybe have a look inside and see what they did in there.

I was going to make a joke post like "I like the sound of this Macklemore fella, is any of his stuff on Bandcamp?" but it turns out some actually is.

Most of this setup has been progressively pulled out of ewaste piles over a period of several years and I think it's finally time for it to run NetBSD and fulfil its true destiny. Is a computer from 2012 actually "retro"? Well ... it will be when I'm done with it. #retrocomputing #thinkpad #NetBSD

The cord retractor thing on my vacuum cleaner is extremely weak and unsatisfying and nothing like the amazingly fast ones I recall from my youth and I blame woke.

Watching The Mandalorian and Grogu has convinced me that the time is right and the technology is here for an epic reboot of Fraggle Rock.

My new keyboard has a little screen in it, so I'm now hiring it out as advertising space to myself. My daily rates are astronomical, but the amount of money I am now owed to myself is going to make my 2027 revenue forecast look great to the investors. This keyboard is also tax deductible now! Follow me for more excellent financial advice. #RainbowHeadcleaner

Computers were good enough to do everything we need them to do ten years ago. Everything since then is bullshit. If you can't do your job on a computer from 2016 you're just bad at your job. That's a fact, I don't make the rules. There are enough computer games to play now too. Your life isn't long enough to play all the ones we have, it's time to stop making more. Just play them. Stop making more computer. Immediately.

@mwl@io.mwl.io can we have a "Goat Farming for System Administrators" guide in the near future? I'm probably not the only one feeling like that's the most appealing career progression path.
