owl feet

I seem to have acquired a 3D printer. Making a pair of red test owls now.

Put Sumatra back on the coffee list on the shop's web site. We weren't out of that long enough and the flavor of the new lot isn't different enough that I'm making a mention of it on the main page. It's just available to buy through the site again. For anybody concerned about going there and risk scabbing on the whole YouTube thing going on right now, video embeds on that site all come from my PeerTube server and nothing auto-plays. https://wilsonscoffee.com/

So apparently if a server running Mastodon runs out of disk space it just spits 500 errors everywhere. Problem solved, sorry for any inconvenience.

@goat@hellsite.site You'll never make money like that. Should add a camera and microphone ostensibly the catch the cat unrolling the paper but really to sell that sweet sweet data to big TP and scat fetish sites.

Good dog.

Sometimes my car radio also picks up other drivers navigation systems. What does the FCC even do?

While driving to lunch yesterday NPR had live coverage blah blah impeachment blah blah while the car was in motion, but when the car was stopped it was some woman singing in not English with some minimal piano accompaniment that was beautiful, and if the car was going <15mph I got both. Kind of wish I knew who the singer was. I might've bought an album.

@yomimono Good stuff. I wouldn't have thought of the power strip. Thanks.

Email supposedly from some hotel I've never heard of with a completely unrelated .top domain with a "DocuSign" link going to some .br? Yeah, I'm sure that's legit. Not. <2 hours later another company I've never heard of with an email from another weird .top pointing to the same .br running a different scam, but this time with an address at the bottom that claims to be a US address except it has a postal code for London (UK) and no city/state. Yeah, *plonk*

She's had enough cuddle time to calm down now.

The cat yelled at me a lot after work today. I think it's because there were roof repairs happening while I was out.

@yomimono Bought my tickets, got the roomette. What are your top tips for the trip?

In case anybody is wondering, the trip from Sturtevant to Portland takes a bit over 46 hours on the way there and about 47.5 hours on the way back (longer layover in Milwaukee).

It looks like other people are starting to preferentially link to my stuff on PeerTube instead of my stuff on YouTube. This is good.

Purchased train tickets to get to/from the event in April. Am not doing the full Chicago-Portland Empire Builder route because nobody wants to drop me off in Chicago when I could take the train from Sturtevant-Milwaukee and transfer on there instead. Same route back. Have a roomette for the Milwaukee-Portland leg.
