We drove about 450 km to get a new female alpaca today. She’s very cute, but uncertain about us so far. She’s staying put in the trailer for now, but I hope she’ll venture out into her new home soon. Two new alpaca friends await her. She came without a name, so I’m expecting the right name to land in the next few days. #alpaca #homesteading 😊

GM Happy Equinox! ☀️🌎

apt update && apt upgrade is all I need. 😎

Wait a second… Why would you want normies on Nostr? Wouldn’t you want people smarter than you here? More passionate than you? More moral than you? More inspiring than you? I would.

This makes me happy. 😀

Good luck on your Python journey! It’s a very expressive language. Easy to use to get things done. 😀

That was my first thought, too.

I default to 100 sats.

I know all the cloud types and can identify them. 😀🌥️☁️🌧️

How about SyncThing? No server required. Just run the software on both endpoints, and authorize them to connect to each other and set which folders to share.

Astro-Compass MK II Used by aircraft flying in arctic regions where magnetic compasses don’t work. With a watch and an almanac, you can point this thing at the sun, moon, or bright stars to get your true heading and set the heading indicator on the aircraft. I’ve used it for surveying and mapping out things on my property. It’s a cool piece of historic tech.

Eyewear should not have a brand name. 🤓

10 copies of Lawrence Lepard’s _The Big Print_ to give away An Ecowitt WS69 weather station 🌧️😀

I can’t relate to people who choose to rent their music. Anything you love can be taken away, completely out of your control. I spend a lot of effort to own my music collection, living by the ethos, “Not your flac files, not your music.” I guess the common behaviour is people choosing convenience over security, even freedom.

My home server does lots of things people here have already mentioned that they do. So what might be unique to me, I run about 4 streaming radio stations, personal to me and my LAN. One is a long-off-the-air local gospel station that used to play some really weird shit. So much of it was singers who were way out of tune. I’m really glad I recorded a month of it before it disappeared. One is a 12 GB collection of techno and other electronic music my friend M gave me. I call it “M Radio.” It took about 10 years of listening to really get to know the collection, but having it as a streaming radio station really helped. One is an archive of about 15 years of the “Mysterious Universe” podcast, playing in a loop. Whenever I want to hear some good storytelling, I tune in. The fourth is a live stream of my local campus radio station, with a secret radio receiver in the city that sends the stream back to my location where the FM signal isn’t so strong. I stream it at a very high fidelity. I have a Squeezebox Boom in my kitchen with preset buttons on it that can call up any one of these “stations” at will. I love it!

Ah, yeah… I won’t be doing that. 🤨
