you ever look at something and go, wow i wonder what has this thing seen?
like when i see graffiti on trains, who drew that? where? when?
it's just so interesting to me
this, i suspect, at some point belonged to a german school/university or business, so it just makes me wonder, what was it used for? what were they pointing at, presumably creating those scratches? how did it even end up here?

way back in 2017, jackson lango started writing a dev log about his passion project: an ascii/ansi adventure called Terminal Rain.

i was instantly in love with his lighting and animation. in an era overloaded with knockoff cyberpunk aesthetics, he had a keen eye for atmosphere and mood

it broke my heart when the blog went defunct a year later, and then disappeared entirely by 2020. waybackmachine sadly didn't archive any of his artwork.

these two images are the only surviving examples of his game as it existed back then.

@hazelnot It might have a separate m.2 and SATA/2.5" slot in that case!

@cato @Violet Unfortunately not; "vacuum razor" and "vacuum trimmer" seem to be common names, but I don't think any name brands have a thing like this so it's entirely down to tracking down "trimmers with sucking functionality" in whatever generic terminology the specific seller chooses to use...

@hazelnot If you have a spare slot for an SSD then another possible option is to get a 128GB SSD or so (doesn't need to be a fast one, just any) specifically for swap, they seem to be around 10-15 EUR now

Kans is groot dat ik zelf met dit idee aan de slag ga. Moet nog wel even kijken of ik andere mensen kan vinden die mee willen doen met organiseren enzo.

@cato @Violet They're really neat! Don't expect it to suck all the hairs up perfectly, it's not strong enough for that, but it's still miles easier than normal trimmers, and nearly clog-free.

You know what? No. A team I've never heard from cannot invite me to a 9am Monday meeting out of nowhere. What the fuck?

Idee: website waar je gratis activistische stickers kunt bestellen, en waar je zelf als ontvanger de postzegelcode koopt en bij je bestelling invult. Dan hoeft er helemaal niets met geldstromen en administratie gedaan te worden.

De hoeveelheid zitplekken op Nederlandse stations is echt heel karig

Asking for a friend (genuinely): can anyone in the UK recommend a therapist (with availability) who's queer, kink, polyam? For remote sessions. Friend is trying Pink Therapy but no luck yet, and some other org that I can't remember, but I figured I'd ask here too :)

@Violet @cato For body hair I got a separate (cheap) trimmer, one with a little built in vacuum so that it pulls the hairs away, and I've found that so much easier to work with than normal trimmers, I think it was 15 EUR from Lidl at the time.

(They're also on AliExpress but given that the first revision of the Lidl one got recalled for battery safety issues I'm not sure I would trust that particular version)

medical 

@rune Ah, in my case this is more my own definition 😅

I have so many physical and mental ailments that "there is something wrong" is pretty much the default state for me (and will be for some time) but also it's something I've learned to live with to some degree, so it doesn't keep me from living my life.

I'm still working towards solving what's solvable, of course, but that's more from the perspective of "constantly improving things" than it is some sort of quest for being "healthy", because realistically with ADHD + an organ transplant that's just not achievable.

Doctors have actually been relatively positive about things here; warning me where appropriate (eg. "don't *assume* you will return to your old condition after transplant because not everybody does"), but overall they've communicated a lot more in possibilities than in problems. Perhaps a bit too much for my tsate, even.

Anyway, their conclusion after my appointment is that it's almost certainly fine and they see no indication that deeper investigation is required 🙂

It was probably just a minor technical defect as the train was just delayed by 5 minutes in the end; it sat a small distance away from the station for those 5 minutes

@njion I just looked up what that train is and... yeah that's got the design where if any water gets into the HVAC duct area it gets launched in passengers' faces. That's not nice.

vague medical 

@rune "Nothing that'll kill me with any particular urgency", ie. the new definition of "good" that one adopts after going through a transplantation process

(In all seriousness, got a referral to get something odd checked out, but it's probably fine)
