I have been working on a Comic Strip called: No Penny.
Something to get published on the Fediverse.
I am trying to keep its style simple, so that there is less work to create each episode.
So, for example, it is black-and-white, rather than being colored. It uses static images, rather than animations. Etc.
I chose to go with a (modern) anime-like style to it.
굿모오오오오

How many different people's work do you think you've seen since you've been on social media? Like how many different individuals have created the photos, videos, and words that you've looked at since you started scrolling timelines on your phone?
Why is vanilla coke the best fucking thing ever??! 🤤
I’m not gonna lie.
I legit bust out laughing when I see Bluesky’s leadership making the same excuses as Mastodon’s leadership concerning why their moderation is so awful.
I think that’s my favorite comedy right now.

People seem interested in my question about cyberdeck building, so I'll write out what I want to do in case anyone else has resources or suggestions:
In 2024, I started performing solo improvised-electronic music shows (as Void Femmes) with a modular synthesizer and a typewriter, connected via a contact mic. The takeaway is that having the typewriter in the setup gave the audience something to focus on and come up with their own narratives about. It was weirdly powerful!
For the next iteration of the live Void Femmes project, I want to incorporate a computer of some kind so I can play the techno I've been releasing.
I don't want a laptop on stage because I just don't like what they do to the "diorama" I have in my head when I envision what this might look like.
I think some kind of lightweight Linux DAW that can play back sectioned stems with a synced clock output (for program change messages to pedals, etc) would be amazing IF I could run it on a computer that makes the audience think "what the fuck is that?".
A cyberdeck (pelican case and 40% ortho mech build probably?) would do what the typewriter does, in that it becomes a narrative focal point for the audience. I'm clearly focused on aesthetics but I really do like the idea of a lightweight but odd-looking computer to act as a _functional_ set piece.
Does that make sense? I'm curious if people have tried this kind of thing before and have suggestions for things like what flavour of linux to use, which software might do what I need, and if they know of a good / complete build guide (hahaaaaa...).
For context, here's what the typewriter set looks/sounds like:

Wow. Friedemann Mattern found my "Who invented vector clocks?" blog post (https://decomposition.al/blog/2023/04/08/who-invented-vector-clocks/) and sent me a wonderful email full of historical context that I hadn't known about -- including some scans of pages from his own notebooks from 1984! ❤️

The ability to "tap" / "click" using my laptop's track-pad doesn't work well anymore.
Sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Sometimes it works only if I hit the track-pad very hard.
It makes using this laptop very difficult.
I may need to switch to another laptop as my "main" computer.

I wrote a whole bunch of words and code about learning how to build a small #Kubernetes cluster on top of #NixOS step-by-step:

And you can spin it up in some QEMU VMs with only a couple of Nix commands:

Google stopped letting owners of early Nest themostats remotely control their devices last month. But it's still remotely collecting extensive surveillance data from them: https://www.theverge.com/news/820600/google-nest-learning-thermostat-downgraded-data-collection #privacy
Chrome now wants to store and autofill your driver’s license and other ID info.
From a cybersecurity perspective, that is a hard no from me. Info-stealer malware already targets browser autofill, and you cannot rotate a driver’s license number like a password. Putting high value IDs in the most targeted consumer app on the planet is a bad trade for a little convenience.
I wrote up why this feature is such a risky idea and what I recommend instead:

Chrome’s New Driver’s License Autofill Is a Terrible Idea
Chrome can now store and autofill driver’s licenses, passports, and vehicle IDs. From a cybersecurity and privacy standpoint, putting government ID numbers into the world’s most-targeted browser is a bad trade, no matter how convenient it feels.

So, in December I will be rebuilding from scratch the third PC I ever owned, back when I was a teen.
An AMD Athlon K7 Slot A PC, with a Voodoo 3 3000, Soundblaster Live with Live Drive and a huge, two foot tall case.

🇨🇦 Green leader will support budget, says PM heard her 'pleas' on climate
👉 Updated8 minutes ago as of this timestamp👈
Carney's minority government needs opposition votes — or abstentions — to pass the budget
#News #Cdnpoli
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/livestory/federal-budget-vote-2025-9.6981042
CBC reporting that Elizabeth May has said she will be voting for the budget tonight. Which means the Liberals only need one more vote for it to pass, or for two MPs to abstain.
Seems unlikely we will have an election from this budget vote... but you never know!
