at some point the music provider APIs got less useful.. iirc you used to be able to stream the pcm data from Spotify and play it yourself. harder to build now. tomahawk player was a natural successor, and now @jherskowitz.com is building a player with similar capabilities. don't know of any others.
First time trying clonezilla in broadcast server config, it's pretty neat. Booted the golden image machine off clonezilla usb, into lite-server mode. It spins up a dhcpd+pxe boot setup.
Fresh machines on the same isolated network netboot straight into writing the image. A++ would clone again 💯
absolutely
Devastating news, Rob was one of a kind 💔
ah i see, yeah. too bad they won't just stream you the raw audio bytes... pretty sure an old version of the api did that, and one of the ancient playdar plugins used it.
cool :) are you using the js framework to integrate with spotify (and if so, how nice is it to use?)
do me!
I'm also optimistic, not to mention amazed, at how useful ai coding tools are. many caveats, but still an incredible productivity boost.
I don't understand why driving tests are transferrable.. just link the booked test to the provisional license used to book it? What am I missing here, it doesn't sound that difficult to stop touts when everyone has to present ID anyway.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
yikes
I set up policy based routing on my pfsense router at home, so now traffic to imgur egresses via tailscale on a cheap german vm. All that so the embeded screenshots load while i'm browsing minecraft mods.. The state of the UK internet is heartbreaking.

piles of old hard drives next to big drill
Mission accomplished. Got the Big Drill out. Goodbye old hard drives 🫡
I'm getting hooked on Minecraft (because of my kids). It's fun. I know I'm late to this party. ⛏️
now do the uk
good old fashioned percussive data removal techniques are always an option..
not really. also now I think about it, I'd like some kind of visual confirmation of data destruction.. magnets might not be trustworthy 😒
I'm going to have to hit them all with a large hammer aren't I
What's the least effort way of destroying a load of old hard drives? I don't want to power them up. Is there someone who will drive an industrial shredder to my house so I can toss them in?
trying to learn Minecraft with the 7yo is making me feel *old*
a few more years and a robot could make it for you!
those of us who were born in 1982 grew up in a unique time and have had some really interesting life experiences, but what really makes me laugh is when people born before or after 1982 claim that they’ve also had life experiences. get serious. no you haven’t

A screenshot of MusicBrainz’ Release rate of change graph, from 2020 to 2025, which jumps from about 700 releases being added a day to ~1,800
I recently caught someone talking smack about how many people use MusicBrainz, and it made me go check. Just to reassure myself...
To my delight, I was reminded that our editors are killing it!!
~700 releases added /day in 2020, up to ~1,800 in 2025: beta.musicbrainz.org/statistics/t...

Check out this excellent interactive blog post demonstrating bevy_behave, my #rust behaviour tree crate for @bevyengine.org Good use of compiling to wasm and embedding bevy in a webpage ⭐

the 15th anniversary remaster cover for the fat of the land just adding more crabs is one of the funniest album covers I’ve ever seen. i think about it all the time
also, i'm now fully ready to steal the identity of all the neighbourhood cats
Replaced a faulty microchip-reading catflap. Didn't even have to grab that cat and shove him through to train it this time: used my Flipper Zero to read and then emulate his rfid chip, and configure the catflap while he was snoozing
Wrote a low-overhead behaviour tree crate for @bevyengine.org that does dynamic spawning for tasks.
Here's the chase demo from the repo running 100k behaviour trees (second video in the README)

my Amazon account is more than 18 years old, and I still had to produce ID when getting a small knife delivered..
