Hey I rebooted the server and the mastodon database didn't get deleted! Lucky me!

Still wish I could understand why that periodically happens, but at least I have regular backups to recover when it does....

Progress pic

This belt is long (something like 5 feet after it's been stretched from not having this done earlier) so it's taking quite a while.

A small section of a leather strap which is in the process of being reinforced with a thick thread. The strap sits on a 2x4 with a bunch of holes in it from the awl poking holes through the leather on it. The board sits on a black table with stone-like texture.

Alright, this took way longer to make than I am willing to admit. But the fact it didn't exist bugged me.

I found a lamp-table on the side of the road yesterday way out in the countryside where you don't have to worry about bedbugs so I grabbed it. Turns out it was busted (bad switch) but I had the spare part on hand so now I have a nice new lamp-table. :)

Random thought: if you have a wildcat strike, you don't have a union. Or rather, the people who were negotiating with management weren't your union, your union is the folks who organized together to form the wildcat strike.

72 years later, this image still seems to resonate.

[Original post on mastodon.online]
'In America - At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served' (Krokodil #4, 1953) by Yuliy Ganf. This restaurant scene “…where waiters serve piles of money to a soldier, labeled ‘War’. Judging from the types of money they serve, the four waiters represent four Western countries. The man with the knife slices U.S. dollars, hinting that he is an American, perhaps former U.S. President Harry S. Truman (who was already succeeded by Dwight D. Eisenhower by the time this cartoon was printed in Krokodil). The obese man with monocle serves British pounds and could either be then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill or the British national personification John Bull. The man with a whole plate with money, decorated with smelly cheese, is a Frenchman, possibly French Prime Minister Antoine Pinay. The wrinkly green man with swastika badge is West German chancellor Konrad Adenauer (who ironically was active in the German resistance movement during World War II). While 'War' is fed with delicious Western financial nutrition, four other customers wait in vain for service. Their tables are labeled 'Education', 'Health Care', 'Libraries' and 'Art'” - https://www.lambiek.net/artists/g/ganf_yuliy.htm

A social media post by user “quillmatiq” reads: “I dunno, man – if you’re going to do a tariff on Apple, at least have the poetic justice to make it 30%”.

Often people say "we couldn't possibly have the modern world under anarchism". And of course they're right. But I got two responses to that...

We can't have the modern world anyway. Not for long. The modern world is already crumbling, energy consumption **will** stop growing, and then turn […]

Rewatching Disco, some thoughts:

So about Tilly being allergic to polyester, it makes me wonder if someone on the crew was allergic and they were just working it in for 'awareness' or whatever (or just because they needed a legitimate-sounding reason for her to have a specific bunk that Michael […]

TIL that antifascist historian George Rawick, during a period of low cash flow, decided to stop paying his phone bill reasoning that the #FBI could not stand to lose the opportunity to tap his calls and that they would make sure his service would continue. His service continued after he stopped paying.

You know, I literally was just going back and forth between redis and valkey the other day and settled on Redis. I don't think the SSPL preserves software freedom, but it seemed better than Amazon and Google's BSD-licensed stuff, which would be a walled-off, "take what you get or fork off" sort […]

I'm sick and tired of being unable to gig, or even go to gigs, due to the lack of COVID cautious events with sensible mitigations (masks, LTFs, ventilation etc)

I'm not the only one, and I know such events are starting to happen in the UK and elsewhere.

Thinking v seriously about trying to put […]
