It is once again time for the winter tires.
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.
Ok I ended up ditching the Sony XM5 for Bose QC Ultra. Very happy with this change. The XM5 were not comfortable and the noise cancellation was wack.
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 yβall.
Tomorrow Iβll get a proper PDS running for myself. As for Mastodon Iβm thinking about migrating to a community instance rather than using this large general purpose one. Iβve been thinking about some of this wrong.
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.
One interesting use of Mastodon specifically is that itβs basically a go-to shop for RSS feeds. I subscribe to a lot of different companies there with my RSS reader.
