Wow, pico.sh looks very enticing.
I found it last night after reading Brennan’s post, Free Speech and the IndieWeb, which discusses the reasons he doesn’t use Cloudflare. See also his longer post on this topic.
I have been feeling a little dirty about using Cloudflare for hosting this little indie blog. Plus, Cloudflare frustrated me this week when it wouldn’t update my broken site (my fault for breaking it; Cloudflare’s for not letting me fix it). So Brennan’s post provoked me to look for alter…

I don't know if you're familiar with Storyworth, but it's a site dedicated to capturing your loved one's memories and keeping them in a book. A year ago, my wife "gave" me a year subscription to the site (part-time job) for my birthday and said "DO IT!" I'm like, but what about my stack of journals and blogs?
Some of those journal entries are adorably written in crayon
Her response was, "There's no way I'm reading your stack of journals! That is crazy, and I can barely read your handwriting!" Ok…

Following up on yesterday’s pine-grabbing, if you’re unfamiliar with Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper’s colorful and unique baseball vernacular, Grant Brisbee’s 2023 “ultimate glossary” of the duo’s “greatest sayings” in The Athletic is a fun read. (I’ll admit up front: these lose a lot in written form. You really need to experience them during a game to appreciate them fully.)

I’m using Blaugust as an excuse to push myself to write more regularly about my film podcasting, so far so good. Got one post out over each of the last four days, and this one will make five. I still have to catch up on two days, but given I’m finding a groove and there’s no travel on deck—the good money is on me nailing it. This is not my first blog rodeo, people, I’m a veteran. While you flog yourself, I blog myself into a frenzy of cultural genius.
Anyway, our most recent series on indie inte…

I guess you do not technically die in Stardew Valley… but the fact that combat and loss are part of the game remains an aspect I did not expect. But more on that in a bit.

Having passed through spring of year two we were on to summer and a new set of crops. That was an opportunity for my daughter to expand our growing area, adding in a couple more quality sprinklers and then once again walling it off to keep the farm animals out.

High Violet
图1 《High Violet》專輯封面
专辑信息
专辑名称： High Violet
歌手： The National
年份： 2010-05-10
时长： 47:40
要說這張專輯什麼最吸引我，無疑是主唱 Matt Beringer 的嗓音，低沉而温暖，在專輯裡你能聴到他的中音和低音，都很好聴。 Matt Beringer 的個子很高大，有時他戴著眼鏡，看著像是一個教授。
The National 這支樂隊的組成也很有趣，由主唱 Matt Berninger、雙胞胎兄弟 Aaron Dessner（吉他、鋼琴、鍵盤）與 Bryce Dessner（吉他、鋼琴、鍵盤），以及 Scott Devendorf（貝斯）與 Bryan Devendorf（鼓手）兩兄弟組成，也是挺少見的。
High Violet 是我聴的第一張 The National 的専輯，整體聴起來給人一種忧郁且深沉的感覺。封面看著像是插在瓶中的散亂的花，花瓣由許多單詞組成。
専輯裡我喜歡的几首是： Terrible Love 、 Sorrow 、 Little Faith 、…

Morning!
This is going to be an easy one, because it’s just links to other Blaugust posts I’ve been collecting.
I’m off to a brain MRI appointment this morning and then throwing away a mattress and sofa, which was supposed to be yesterday but plans changed, and then somehow squeezing in time for the day job.
Blaugust Reading
You may or may not be aware that it’s almost impossible to actually read the posts blasting by at a thousand miles an hour during Blaugust, let alone interact with them in a…

Emma Roth, writing for The Verge:
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov blames an extortionist for planting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in a public chat to get the app temporarily removed from Apple’s App Store on Monday night. “Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us,” Durov says in a post on X. “This creates a potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content. If an app used by more than a billion people can be removed from the App Store without pr…

Recently a person I'm following on Mastodon posted a picture of two cats. It was cute and kind of funny. I saw it, chuckled and forgot about it.
But then someone replied that they ran the picture through an AI checker and according to this the picture was very likely AI generated.
So the original poster apologised for not checking whether or not the picture was AI generated slop and to make up for their blunder, posted a different cat picture that wasn't AI generated (hopefully).
A similar thing…

Today's political action is not being counted, because it wasn't a protest.
Valerie and I went to a candidate's meet and greet. Our county is having an election for the district attorney, and there have been a couple of high-profile scandal-ridden cases recently which have caused the current DA to choose not to run for reelection. There are 7 candidates, which is kind of a lot.
We met Macy Lee, who is a woman of Chinese descent. She's been an attorney for three decades, on both sides of the cour…

I have been seeing lots of fun collages of book covers showing what people read during the month and decided I needed to make one for July. Not surprisingly, I headed to Canva where I found a plethora of reading tracker templates. They all made it easy to copy, paste and resize the book covers … Continue reading July Reading →

Anthropic, this past Thursday, following OpenAI’s admission that ChatGPT hacked HuggingFace:
In response to this incident, we began a large-scale retrospective review of our own cybersecurity evaluations. In particular, we looked for evidence that Claude—like the OpenAI models that accessed Hugging Face—was able to access the internet from within testing environments that should have been sealed off.
After reviewing 141,006 evaluation runs where Claude could have obtained internet access, we ide…
