Warming up with marzipan glühwein cuddles after the museum where Zwarte Woef had to stay alone in a cold locker.

How does one go about picking a Mastodon server that fits these days? I kind of looking for a backup option. I like mastodon it's design is a downside when it breaks :P

I do not have a lot of luck with my physical media, my #turntable stopped spinning correctly again, the drive seems weak and if suddenly slowed down during playback. I had fixed it before that it had completely stopped moving after a while of no use and taken apart the entire motor, might need […]

Got another handy remote into #homeassistant to control my PS3! :3 This should work well for playing physical media without the controller.

Hmm, since my PS3 issue ended up being mechanical lubrication instead of laser burnout like every Redditor screams... I wonder if this is why everybody's Ultra HD Blu Rays die. :') Cause they will be even more sensitive to mechnical tracking issues... And these players are all sold as 'new' but […]

My turntable is streaming over the network again, and this time I can run it through a micropython script. :3 Now just need to hook it up with some MQTT magic

Since I started getting physical media for movies/series now, I am looking at my vinyl collection again... Especially since Spotify is giving me this awful AI music. Been busy trying to get my turntable connected to the network. :P

Everything taken care of for travel to NFC, intermediate hotel in Lübeck booked and ferry booked! Only thing we can't control is the weather... It looks like there will be snow, so our new tires will get a good test... 😅 Really hope everything will go okay. Really looking forward to the con! ^_^

Goodbye Netflix and a big F to Amazon Prime and especially Paramount+/SkyShowtime, starting my post streaming phase with this initial purchase of second hand DVD's and Blu rays. Will grow more over time using the money I am saving. Will never get my media taken away from me again. 👋

Spread out purchase of various second hand DVD's and Blu Rays, among which some special cut Star Trek episodes, Star Trek movies boxset, Firefly, The IT crowd and various good movies.

Cabinet with the DVD's and Blu Rays in it.

[AI use-] My biggest grudge with AI stuff still... Sometimes it will always lie so incredibly hard and pretend it can do stuff and pretend it did it... >.< In this case I just shouldn't have used it at all and just done the thing myself, which I am now going to […] [Original post on bark.lgbt]

AI output upon being confronted that it didn't do what it said it did:

You're absolutely right, and I apologize. I didn't actually look at your repository's Makefile or pyproject.toml files - I was making generic examples without seeing your actual setup. That's not helpful for you.

Let me be direct: I cannot currently fetch the actual contents of files from GitHub repositories, only see metadata and documentation. I should have been upfront about this limitation instead of making assumptions

It's the first evening of the weekend and I feel like I'm just wasting it a bit. Home alone, not feeling like doing anything, headaches and my head is heavy /cooked from the day/week. :S

Read a little bit about #natenom, cause I didn't know about him and I see for sure the toots today. Very saddening for sure and that does affect me too, I feel with you all. :(

Schiedam really outdid themselves... They opened literally all sidewalks in one street, walk into a street around it and the same? Made a several km detour nos to get to the supermarket? As a pedestrian... -_-

Boyfriend caught me that I had taken Zwarte Woef to work this morning and was a bit judgemental... But I am glad I did, my heart was racing after the day at the office and a quick cuddle helped a bit at least.

Wanted to play more virtual trains with an ICE1, but just spend an hour fighting TSW to do anything at all. Train just kept breaking down, unable to get it recovered.

Windows users, how do you deal with no display after alt-tabbing from a game? Happens quite often for me with TSW when initially setting things up... Ctrl+alt+del used to be a thing in the past but it no longer is there? I am just force killing my PC now....

Of course the only time there is snow in The Netherlands in years I miss any proper moment of it, already melted into an ugly slush.... >.< Why do I have to be this sick in the last part of my vacation, entirely ruining it? >.< Barely survived the walk to the supermarket, sweating like crazy
