Hey there. In the post I just wrote, which contained a link to a post by dhh – link given as an example as to why people hate him for those not aware. should I not have included a link? (It’s linked to web archive not his actual site) I’ve been messaged about “not posting shit” so I’m […]

For fuck’s sake. Digital Ocean have joined the other numbskulls and have given a bunch of money to the Facist-ware set of dotfiles that it omarchy. Millions for a set of configs on top of Arch Linux. Now I need to find an alternative. For those not sure why people are jumping ship from […]

After about five encounters in the past couple of weeks, I finally managed to destroy the pirate freighter attacking the civilian fleet.

I’ve got such a growing collection of pocket notebooks that I’m considering adding a new section to my site, just to share the covers of each. They’re kinda like collectors cards at this point. Mostly “Field Notes”, but some others too.

Oh my god I am being surrounded by videos / people etc going on about Omarchy being the next big thing and how building your own arch install is a “waste of time”… hmm. Also what’s with d_hh essentially crapping on all the people who built gnu/linux in really back-handed compliments. “…nerdy […]

The moons always look great in No Man’s Sky. But something with the birds flying in front of this one made me want to capture it.

A dark red sky waith a lighter red moon giving a fiery feel. Two birds fly between us and the moon, still very far away.

Today I had an idea for an interactive REPL for local PHP. Like similar to what TInkerwell does, but written in bash, tmux and linux builtins. I think this will be a fun little project. 🙂

After spending way too long faffing with individual category template files and customizations for various parts of my site, I’ve finally said “fuck it”. I’m back to just the standard archive and single page templates and going to try and just concentrate on writing more. Less developer faff — […]

I think the UK government’s ban on social media for under-16s is a good thing. In writing. However, there’s more to this as I think more about it. I had a back and forth on Mastodon on my alt account which made me have a bit more of a think. I still think it’s a good thing — I made the […]

Okay I’m going to finally write my #Introduction. I’m a programmer who mainly works with PHP in my day to day job. I work for a UK-based bed manufacturer in their in-house development team. I have a wife, two children, a dog, a cat and a tortoise… …and I still have time to run Arch Linux, BTW […]

## In the fire and the flames I’m super proud of this one. Taken at the village in the north of the map – I’ll update the post when I find out the name again. The fire used to save progress was used to almost show her walking through the flames.

Aloy from the game Horizon Forbidden West. A close-up of her face, surrounded by flames. She is beyond the fire and the camera was positioned so the flames frame her face.

I got sucked into using Gemini ai to help restructure my website and I’m ashamed of myself. I have not generated any writing or images for it – just advice on the structure of categories and noindexing certain things. For a brief moment of time I thought I could make parts of my website really […]

I’ve been making some alterations to my website today. Not the design or anything like that — things like adding a footer and “noindexing” short text pages. Gonna be redoing my virtual photography pages too. I will still post single shots now and again, but I’m also starting to create some […]

I recently ran a script on all of my Virtual Photography posts. It may have spammed the fediverse with the changed posts. I’m sorry if I just spammed your feed :S

The new No Man’s Sky update — swarm — looks so much fun. I keep getting obsessed with NMS for a couple weeks then I stop for months. 🙁 I need to start committing, I think.

## Gliding down to the Tallneck Aloy glides down from the Cinnabar Sands satellite dish, towards the head of the Tallneck. I died far too many times from the two Scrappers and Skydrifter — with no metal shards left at the start of the encounter no less.

A wide shot from above in the game "Horizon Forbidden West". Aloy glides down from an unseen high point, down to the top of the head of a tallneck machine. The dusty desert sprawls beneath.

Sorry to all the people who follow me. I’ve been indecisive about which fedi instance I want to keep as my home. I have now settled on my WordPress website with the ActivityPub and Friends plugins. I did switch to YunoHost with a mastodon instance, but that server is already costing me too […]

## Climbing Post I’ve been trying to get some PlayStation time in again. It’s been a while with two small children about. I took this shot of Aloy just after the battle at the Forbidden West gates near the start of Horizon: Forbidden West.

Top of a climbable post with the strong orange sun about the set in the background. The silhouette of a long-haired woman in make-shift armour, Aloy, hangs off the top.

im not sure whether to make my website just a long-form content site, then set up a self-hosted mastodon for notes/fediverse connections. 🤔

So let me get this right. I installed #Vivaldi browser to get away from #google. Then I go to install the bitwarden extension, and I have to agree to google toc’s in order to use the chrome web store? #Dafuq

I think I’m fully onboard the #YunoHost bandwagon now.

Finally got a Casio F-91W watch. Similar, or perhaps the same, as I had as a child. Does pretty much everything a watch needs to do, without all of the modern “smart” rubbish many “watches” have nowadays.

## Geralt Took me a few hours to realize that The Witcher 3 on Playstation 5 has a photo mode. Albeit limited. Still, I should get some decent shots out of this, my first full play through of the game. This was taken as I was walking into the abandoned […] [Original post on davidpeach.me]

No. I’m not gonna rebuild my website core. But i think I’m gonna try to build my own classic theme, based loosely on an old version of my site. Could be fun?
