youtube video, cyberpunk music

"Hey Winter, what kind of music do you listen to?"
"well, it's complicated!"

this is a cyberpunk/darkwave version of a pop song from a 80s italian tv variety show 😅

old files, music, wtf, link to bandcamp

for some reason, since 2014, my "music" megafolder contained two songs from a band called Alice. i have no idea if i downloaded them, copied from a friend, or... idk tbh.

however! i just heard them, after 9 years, and OH BOY it is a alt/electronic rock album, and i found the songs on bandcamp, and how tf didn't i heard them before, "who are you" is my current obsession D:

experiments to avoid using the phone for everything

test one: replace my phone with an mp3 player, to reduce the need to actually interact with it.
most of the time, i change a song on deezer, then i see a whatsapp notification, i check it... in the end, i find myself wasting time.

slow enough to be painful to use, am missing the music variety of a streaming platform. i may fix the last problem by loading random LPs and daily podcasts during the night via usb

using one special sns at work

i noticed i started using a certain social network too much, even during work, just to distract myself. uninstalled that app as soon as i noticed it.
i need to work on my focus/deep work, and i kinda feel bad about it :/ i feel like a kid whose mother had to confiscate its favorite toy of the week, to keep them focused on their homework -.- but i can also see that it'll help me in the future, so :BlobhajSadReach:

hi #mastoadmin s! i'm planning to self-host my personal instance (#pleroma on a rpi 3+ at home or a VPS), and i have some questions.

* how much disk space does your instance uses? should I setup hourly media cleanup cronjobs?
* are there ways/settings to avoid downloading images/videos, or download them only on demand?
* may I miss messages/posts in case of blackouts?

any helpful reply or piece of advice, even about basic admin stuff, is appreciated :)

praising tiddlywiki for "journaling"

I am starting to use #tiddlywiki for both work-related and personal (emotional, journaling) stuff.

really, it is very versatile, it just works, and it has nice features (backlinks to a tiddler, seamless linking) that I just have fun writing and creating links between quotes, notes about people/topics and journal entries.

I look forward to get surprised by some unexpected connection or old journal entries looking way more recent ^^"

I loved this article, it left me... cozy, i think - we should strive to use, or create, something that really *just works*, and *works for us*. life is too short to try and force third-party services and tools to work as we say.

so, ok, commenting #eurovision votes - i was too sleepy to watch it until the end :(

* SUI getting zero points was heartbreaking :/
* low number of points for most countries is justified by the huge amount of points for UKR (deserved tbh)
* i don't get how UK and SPA managed to get so many points from juries - were they sleeping? 🤌
* eurovision does not like joke entries such as norway's :/
