The reason the Faewild is the Faewild is that it's a git repo where the owner just accepts every single pull request reflexively. The only thing which stops a Fae from getting accidentally poofed from existence is a contract with beings on another plane (it's a legacy dependency, can't delete).

Nabbed a few storage bins for the space. Unsure if this is enough to accommodate all member projects at a typical hackerspace.

my tv station is now broadcasting from a raspberry pi in my garage, and being controlled from a little webapp I hacked together that lets anyone on my network schedule videos off my media server or YouTube or whatever
It's basically a homemade analog chromecast as a UHF tv broadcast

Sometime late in the Bush administration we as a country stopped illuminating rooms with a floodlight placed directly behind a slowly rotating industrial fan and our nation has been floundering ever since.
One of the absolute dogdick shittiest things to be nostalgic for is how I miss big warehouse sets with a fuckin' huge flood light blasting on the windows

Offering Received: No-purpose flour (a bag of flour that serves no purpose) (#643)
this flour doesn't get wet, and it doesn't mix with anything, it doesn't make a cloud if you throw it... it just never does what you want it to do! weird...

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

I would especially like to encourage people to pick up heirloom or landrace strains, because decreased seed bank availability in a time of increased commercial monocrop growing is likely to make them more endangered than they already are

PSA: if you are a cannabis grower in the United States or have been thinking about starting to grow, get any seeds you’ve been wanting to buy online before the end of the year. The new changes to the hemp laws make buying seeds online illegal again as of January 1, 2026

Freezer Queen TV Dinners (1958-2004):One of the pioneers of TV dinners, offering options such as salisbury steak and chicken a la king. At one time, the Freezer Queen factory was one of the largest employers in Buffalo, NY, until it was shut down due to a failed health inspection. That bad? a 🧵
