Me: Okay so due to a performance-optimizing hack in my music-making tool, if you hold a rest for longer than thirteen and a half hours, the engine will glitch and there will be an audible clicking noise. No one will ever run into this case

Part of the response to #Enshittification, I believe, is to make NEW things on the web. When things you used to run are no longer under your control, you can a) make sure you leave a record of how it used to be, and b) start a new thing and create what you want to see on the internet. That is what I’ve been trying to do in 2024, in any case. #OpenWeb

Bad idea: build a captcha library that embeds DOSBox so it can make you beat levels/puzzles from DOS games to continue.
Prove you're a human! Beat Lifewater Oasis from Commander Keen 4! Defeat the Yeti in Kings Quest 5! Make sure 15 lemmings survive! Get the sword in Prince of Persia!

Coming up this afternoon – the fifth Mercury flyby of the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission 🛰️🌚
Closest approach is at 14:23UTC, but at 37,630km, it’s 200 x further out compared to September’s fourth flyby 😬
So no spiffy close-up pictures or movies this time 😢 but several science instruments will be on taking data, including the MERTIS thermal-IR camera 👍
Next & final flyby is on 8 Jan 2025, before Bepi enters orbit in Dec 2026 🙂

Starting today, I'm on a quest to make a… pomegranate dusting sugar. What's that? Something looking like granulated sugar of red color, to dust over whipped cream on top of a cup of festive hot chocolate.
Today's attempt: tried to reduce pomegranate juicy with sugar but let it boil for too long, so sugar caramelized and almost burned. Trying again tomorrow!

I did it. I made the frigid trek through the dark empty to arrive at the theater…only to discover it was completely sold out tonight. So I trudged back through the cold dark empty to my empty house. My wife is working a double shift tonight, so it's just me and the cat.

I should be clear that I admire and respect people who set up Fediverse servers and let strangers join. That is an amazingly generous and thoughtful thing to do. People who take on this and other tasks for running Fediverse servers deserve our gratitude and support.
