• Some stats:
  • 24 posts written
  • 123 links (not counting links to my own blog or fedi account)
  • 76 links to actual blog posts (not counting links to things like fediverse accounts, wikipedia, git repos, and other "general information" links)
  • 11+ new blogs added to my rss feeds :)
  • 7,242 words written
  • 1 exhausted Dane

I started off writing a post that had three entries. I wanted to continue that for the whole month. That was a mistake. XD
It was just a bit too much work to find and write about three blog links every single day, and I quickly exhausted my RSS feeds, and had to work harder and harder to find new (I'm going to say the hated word, I'm sorry) "content." (ugh 😆)

There were some things I really wanted to write about at the very end, but I just ran out of steam, physically.

All in all, though, it was a wonderful experience. I met a lot of really neat bloggers and fediverse people, and made some new internet friends. Yay!

Thanks to Robert Birming for getting this party started. ;)

A reconstruction of the Commodore 64's BASIC prompt, adapted from Wikipedia

I loved computers before the internet was a thing, and I will continue enjoying them long after the internet becomes an unusable hellhole of mass surveillance, age verification, deplorably invasive technical "standards," and hyper-aggressive advertising.

I've seen truly enormous …

My current Android setup with IodéOS, KISS Launcher, and grayscale mode

The other day, I was watching a Techlore video while folding laundry, and became increasingly annoyed as it went along: not at Techlore or the video, but the Wired article he was responding to.

Welcome to the PADDING.

This blost is a part of the interstitial spaces that make up my blog. It's here to support other blosts. Think of it as one of the glial cells supporting the superstructure of the twisted online brain that is https://rldane.space/.

One of the things I hear people on the Fediverse celebrate is its incredible transience. There's no one big central network, so posts have nebulous reach throughout the network, depending on how well-"connected" your instance is, and many people set posts to auto-delete after a set period of time …

Background

One minor foible of the fediverse instance I'm on is that searching (for accounts or hashtags) can be quite slow. As a workaround for now, I've saved a list of accounts I've followed for easy reference, but I also wanted some way of saving a list of hashtags to …

I wanted to take some time out today to acknowledge some folks on the fediverse that are remarkably prolific, just for fun.

Oh holy moly. This fella has words. Lots of words. Many very fine words. Just look at bro's output for 2024:

I was on a Signal video chat with my siblings today, and when I mentioned something about RC flight as an analogy for a person's health (being "three mistakes high"), my brother looked confused and then amused when I explained what I was talking about.

Oh, quick explainer, I'm not …

The Linux Cast is one of my favorite Linux youtubers, as he usually posts very interesting videos and isn't afraid to share his off-the-cuff opinions of things in the Linux world, yet is usually not toxic, unlike some of that space's more infamous members.

He published a slightly ranty …
