I've been trying to blog more and more again. After a nearly year-long hiatus, I've managed 3 posts in 5 days

It's not much, they were just weird genx popcult things that I liked and wanted to share, but I think I just have to get into the habit of firing up vim and typing a few thoughts on the things I find interesting in my daily travels.

Also, I want to look into how I can hook my Jekyll SSG into mastodon so that it will cross-post to mastodon and people can reply there.

In the early 90s, on the CBC one night, I heard a Hip song that the CBC had in their vault. They had recorded a Hip show at a club in LA. It was one of Gord's weirdest mid-song rambles. I've looked for that song for going on 30 years now. Not knowing the title of the song, or the date recorded, it was pretty futile, until they released the show last year. Turns out: "Highway Girl" recorded at the Roxy in LA. https://youtu.be/Tezk5eX0Xnw?si=wQSUb_0SI8f3-NIy

I’m with @camman18. The worst thing when you load a new survival is to get trapped in thousands of blocks of samey biomes. I might try rebooting my mc server with this seed. Looks promising.

Alpha Pack Theory is a crock
When I first looked at Dog Training when I got my first Siberian Husky ( a notoriously hard to train breed) 15 years ago, I started looking at Dog Training, and very quickly came to the conclusion that the only scientific basis for any training methodology was a study from the 1940s that was so inaccurate that the author retracted it a year later, and spent the rest of his life trying to correct that mistake.

I left Somalia in 1987 when I was 14 years old and then four years later in 1991 Somalia fell into an unprecedented level of chaos and anarchy. It is 32 years later, I’m getting close to 50 and Somalia is still slowly stumbling back towards a functioning government. Whatever happens though: It is, and always has been, a nation of poets and singers.

I’ve been frustrated by an inability to use Netflix and Spotify on all my devices. I have a bunch of ARM devices. Raspberry Pis and an M1 Macbook with Linux, and especially the raspberry Pis would be great media servers, except for the fact that most streaming services can not run on these devices.
Somebody finally figured out a way of getting the ARM version of libwidevine to run on Asahi Linux, and also has notes for getting it to work on Raspberry Pis. Legally.

For Lego Fans everywhere
An infinite domino ring made from LEGO. This knocks down and stands up 90,000 LEGO dominoes per hour, and can theoretically go forever, if plugged into mains power.
