I finally got off my butt and migrated to a community server.
But I know why you’re all really here.

A while back I saw an r/woodworking post where someone was asking for resources for woodworking plans. A few people told them to Google it.

If you Google it you get absolute horseshit. Just page after page of useless results. So we need to stop the fucking "let me google that for you" era and recognize that search is entirely broken in the modern day. We NEED human recommendations and information sharing now more than ever.

The more you learn about how cheese is made, and has traditionally been made throughout history, the more you realize how many of generations of humanity were just trying literally ANYTHING to see what happens.

The kids always wonder why the dog barks and it's like man i don't know, he has dog reasons for things

waiting 20 minutes for a single task on an OS that will eat shit and dare you to restart it if you annoy it too much comes with a certain sense of calm that is missing from modern computing. I am exactly where I need to be, this moment in time will continue until it doesn't, simply here and present

I haven't deep cleaned the house since my parents were here. The price of a clean house is eternal vigilance and an aching back.

Going to bed with muscle aches, a headache and a lot of dysphoria. Hopefully sleep will sooth the aches, get rid of the headache, and make me forget about the dysphoria for a while.

Been feeling very homesick of late, despite the news about the worsening situation in Texas for trans folk. Be it ever so fucked up, it's home.

Was doing some map road-tripping and came across Click, TX. The town my car is named after (I promised I'd name her after the next ghost town we got to, if she could make it to Bluffton, TX...no easy feat as Bluffton hadn't been above Lake Buchanan for 100 some years.

There used to be a few buildings here, in really good condition. Someone either had them demolished, or moved. I hope moved. Now all that's left of Click is a lonely windmill.

We can't go back, but we can go on.

Someone posted the trailer to Phase IV (one of my fave movies) and it got me thinking, with a lot of the video editing I've done lately, could I tack on the full deleted Saul Bass ending to the DVD? Turns out: Yes.

Needs some work on getting the brightness and contrast to match, but I'll wait on that for when I re-encode the DVD, whenever that is.

The terrorist attack in Moore County, NC knocked out cell towers, internet and phones. People had to drive to the neighboring county to find out what was going on. They couldn't call 911. As I'm writing this, some towns are still without power.

I can't stress enough how important amateur radio is in situations like this. Handhelds run on batteries, and most hams have several batteries charged at all times. Base units often are run off grid with battery banks, solar, etc. Mobile units run in vehicles. Repeaters are usually powered by solar batteries, the ones based on mountain tops are around here.

Having a license, practice and experience with the radios and nets and having a way to talk to others, call for help, or assist are invaluable.
