A macOS Spotlight search window. The “Folders” search type is selected and the search text is the word “downloads”

I had a weird moment today while poking around Bandcamp, where I saw album art _I made_ in the 1990s for a then-friend's powernoise act. I never expected to see these again, given that that they only ever existed as 50 printouts that I stuffed into CD-Rs. (no […] [Original post on wandering.shop]

It's been just about 30 years (!) since I first saw PIG live. Tonight they played only 3 songs I really wanted to hear in a 2 hour set.... And still killed it.

@tailscale is there a reason why my laptop and phone keep seeing my exit node become unavailable? I see this "connection lost" all the time, and as far as I can tell my exit node has been rock solid.

I got a new #tattoo yesterday from the artist who did the #SeattleKraken Pride jersey design this year. The tattoo combines their love of bright colours and #Pride, and my love of those AND #Python

A forearm tattoo of the Python programming language log. It has a chunky black outline, and is filled with a circuitboard pattern, in all the colours of the Progress flag.

It looks really keen. 😀

Still one of my two favourite pages in all of “comics”

5 panels.

The left is a conversation between Death and Dream.
The second is Death saying “Dream? Give me your hand”. Her face is the focus here.
The next three are fingers touching and light filling the frame.

#iTerm2 / #fish shell users, what is this awful iTerm2 feature and how do I kill it with fire? I just upgraded my fish shell and now I get this junk in iterm2 and I don't know even what the popup feature is _called_ much less how to kill it.

A computer screen shows the terminal displaying the command "ls .config/" and its output showing the ".config" directory.

Recipe sites have gotten extremely aggressive at completely bailing when an adblocker is in play. I’m not turning off my clean internet for your bullshit, sorry. This seems to have started with seriouseats, and spread like a fucking cancer.

A dialog from kimchimari.com whose main text reads “Ads help me cover the costs of running this site, and I work hard to keep them nited and respectful. Turning off your ad blocker just for this site should fix the issue. Thank you for your support.”
