Dark Forest 2024: I went a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. This happens every year (I think?) at Powell Gardens. It’s about a 40 minute drive east of Kansas City.

The worst part about selling stuff online is the immediate flood of low-ballers. Especially concerning are the dudes that will squabble over $10: offering $290 for a $300 item. What the hell is wrong with y’all.

I’ve been playing around with Bluesky’s personal data server, and of course, I’ve been using it wrong. There is a big emphasis on “personal” here. It makes sense to set one up for yourself, but not for a community of people. It’s all about personal ownership of data, which I guess makes sense.
