My whole presence in the #fediverse is predicated on POSSE (and PESO) principles along with federated posting and SNS. I'm a semi-active part of the Indieweb community where this grassroots methodology sprang forth. It's one of "build your own website and have others comment on it -- that's the network right there" simplicity.
Just like email is still the most universal messaging app, websites are still the least silo'd SNS app.
I usually go and buy a new computing device once every 6 years or so. This year my trusty Late 2017 Apple MacBook Pro i5 8GB/500GB is officially sunsetted. While I’ve been eyeing a new Macbook to take its place, it would be one of the newer Apple Silicon M2 joints. But I really want to jump back into doing all my computing in Linux full time and also game more so… I’m taking a chance here.
I’ve always dreamed of a modular laptop since it’s kind of the only way I can get the specs and ports I want. Framework makes it possible by having this form factor that should never be obsolete; all the parts are user serviceable and replaceable including the motherboard, ports, screen, keyboard, and so on.
My config is the 16 inch Ryzen™ 9 7940HS - Radeon™ RX 7700S - 180W. That’s right, there’s a kick-ass discreet graphics card in there and it’s user swappable! Whenever the new hotness comes along, or other modules like an extra battery or whatever is needed, its a simple 10 minute swap out needing only a screwdriver (which is also included).
The bad news: I gotta wait until Spring 2024. The good news, I can save up the rest of the money by Spring 2024– this thing IS NOT cheap; about $1000 more than my current Mac was when I bought it new in 2017. BUT it will basically become the workhorse PC as I plan on using it for work, home-labbing, and gaming. Any tool you use to make your livelihood off of should have no expense spared (within reason.)

The whole reason the Beltline even exists is because it was meant to be a transit corridor. A multiuse trail was also part of the design, so both need to be constructed.
But also, since the land developers jumped into the fray and built their car-oriented buildings off the trail, OF COURSE they want to keep it this way.
I’m sick and tired of the false notion that transit BRINGS IN undesirable effects when the exact opposite has always been true.
Well that does it for me tonight. I got a lot done on this here ol' site.
I’ll continue to kick the tires and fill in the gaps but so far so good.
Indieweb stuff seems to be working as seen at micro.blog and tested with some good friends. Will run thru the tests tomorrow to make sure. ActivityPub stuff is 70% there; @starrwulfe@starrwulfe.xyz is using plugin and @starrwulfe.

Looks like it isn't going to do any damage... Always a bit vigilant every time I see anything about seismic activity around the Izu Trough.
I too also had a crazy meltdown involving my lack of skill at writing Go code and paying attention to changes at my VM provider. So here I am back with a Wordpress version of my digs here.
I remember someone once stole the REFLECTORS off my second (third?)-hand mama-chari 3 speed bike somewhere in L5P back in the day. All in the span of the 15 minutes it took me to get a milkshake from Zestos.
We were on a different set of tracks leading nowhere and everywhere at once.
