@ass.golf Not me lawling my face off on the floor copter reading that you had no idea about Taco Time.

We even had one up here in Anchorage (Alaska!) way back in the late 80's early 90's.

I think the last time I had them was in '93 in Eugene, Or.

Nost. Olgia.

All the love to my transgender friends and family, no matter where on the spectrum you land, or where in the journey you are.

You matter to me. I love you.

Any person who continuously and maliciously weaponizes willful ignorance is perpetuating violence against all those around them.

I refuse to interact with violent offenders, and I will purge my friends list.

This is my line.

Make it yours.

So, trump is jacking up the prices on Americans with his idiotic 25% tariffs that CONSUMERS pay, but hey, at least you got to openly show your hate of immigrants and got Black History Month, Women's Month, and Pride Month events canceled, so there's that.

Hateful jackasses.

Latest version of my picoSysMon port has been stable for the last 24 hours, so that's a nice milestone.

Now, does that mean that it's been up the whole time? I don't think so. I should probably track uptime as well, so I'll have to add that as an enhancement: github.com/akhepcat/pic...

Lots of fun playing with the new Pi Pico 2W + an early release of micropython

Porting my sysmon scripts over to python means implementing lots of things that were easier in bash!

The most "fun" one is dealing with requests failing & not recovering, and working around that micropython library bug

Long week of rehearsals leading up to a 3-day musical event this weekend.

Do i feel ready? No.

Will I be ready? Maybe.

Will it somehow all turn out? It's a possibility.

Will I continue to do too-short-of-rehearsal-time shows? Absolutely

“No on 2” just took the lead. Alaska voters may be on track to reject the repeal of ranked choice voting after all. No is at 50.03%

Trying @openvibe.bsky.social for my mobile client.

So far, looks good, but I can't figure out how to add a second bsky account

But otherwise, good times!
