Token the raccoon, and Jack... who might be a fluff, a sock, or... a mysterious little fluffy whose species no one can quite define... enjoying a quiet swing together. It's one of those small, still moments that seem to pause time for a while.

I Am Lucifer, the Devil, AMA

"Which of your many accomplishments are you most proud of?"

The idea that once your body is done growing, so is your mind.

"Wait, when is our minds done growing?"

You were never meant to be done growing, learning, examining. But you could be persuaded to give it up.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies.

My uncle died about a year ago now, and one thing my aunt is gearing up to get rid of is his music collection. He had *hundreds* of CDs of classical music, many of them near-duplicates, because he may have already had a piece but wanted a particular conductor's version, or a performance by a particular orchestra.

Is there anyone here who might be interested in such a collection as a whole, or knows of someone who might? I feel it'd be good to find a home for it as a whole rather than selling every disc off separately.

I read some years ago update from local record shop (that sells both new and second hand records alike), that they had gotten a similar collection to sell. They had no idea how to price the CDs, being mostly focused on popular music rather than classical, and apparently the family of the late music enthusiast was just happy to get rid of the collection and was not even expecting to get money of selling it, so the record shop was selling them for like 2€/CD or something like that.
Leea mastodon (AP)
they were also telling everyone to spread word so that people who are interested in getting some classical music could come and see if there's something they'd like. If I remember correctly, they got at least part of the collection moving pretty fast. So, if there's record shops that sell also second hand near you, it might be one option to ask them, if they have contacts possibly interested in the collection, or are up to a challenge.
zip mastodon (AP)
if I had a way to get them to Scotland, and after I've counted how many fit in one box so I can work out how much space "hundreds" might take...

Advice from a therapist: If you're stressed out, it's fine to fall back to older, comfortable things. Not all experiences have to be new.

If there's some movie or TV show that feels good to watch, watch it. Don't worry about new things you might be missing out on.

If you just need to veg on the couch for a few days, do it. Sometimes you have to let the chores and hobbies wait.

Basically what mine said too. I thought that this as a coping mechanism was bad. because nothing gets done.
But it's beneficial as it lets your brain stop and unwind a bit.
Zelus von Lila mastodon (AP)

Oh jeez, I don't know what I'd do without my comfort music of Trek in the background.

But you never want to run at 100% all the time. It's totally ok to veg when needed and not feel guilt about it!

Taking care of yourself mentally and physically (especially as we continue getting older) becomes more priority.

I turned on the oven earlier, and the RCBO tripped. I turned it back on, and tried the oven again and… it didn't work! The little top oven worked, but the main oven just sat there, no light, no fan, no heat. I thought it was broken (the very similar oven at the old house broke in a sort-of similar way a while back), and was about to either try to use the little top oven which probably wouldn't work very well for baking bread, or maybe even take the bread round to my sister's house to bake, when I remembered a particular stupidity of these Neff ovens. I set the clock, and the oven started working again. Gah! WHY!? Why does leaving the clock unset make the main oven not work!? Why would you design an oven like that? It — just — makes — no — sense.

Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
Wow, that's... bizarre. Is it digital or something and you can't set the temp without setting the clock first? Or maybe you can't use the timer function? Just kind of reaching for what might have been a reason.

Rien the raccoon and Sebastian the kangaroo are having a sleepover during a rainy evening, outside the sound of the storm becoming the background music for their video game marathon.
Despite they were told to go to bed early, the decision to keep playing more levels was stronger.

I truly enjoyed painting this piece, capturing the cozy feeling of wanting the night to last just a little longer, and the warmth of the moment of a good company.

This piece is for Sebastian Roo and Rien Raccoon.

Well that's nice, I just checked the graphs and noticed that the batteries in the garage haven't been charging properly yesterday or today. I'm assuming it's the cold limiting them to 800W. I spotted the IHD showing we were exporting 3+ kW around midday and was surprised the batteries were full, but checking the inverter app showed they were only up to 30-something percent and were only charging at 800W - the rest of the juice coming from the panels was going out to the grid. So I dug a fan heater out of the spare room and put it in the garage, pointing towards the batteries, to see if that would help. Turns out the batteries warmed up enough to increase charge rate to about 2.25kW about 20 minutes *before* I turned the fan on, but I left it on for an hour to see how long it would take to bring the garage up to the heater's "frost protection" point. After an hour it still hadn't, so I've turned the fan heater off - it can't be set to any lower temperature so it's probably counterproductive. I'll just have to live with the batteries being a bit useless over winter. Should have gone for the ones with heaters built in. In fact, the installers probably should have suggested them when I asked for the batteries to go in a garage. Oh well, not much I can do about it now. Selling these ones second hand and buying batteries with built-in heaters would be just a bit costly, I suspect. Hmm. I could build a little insulated box around them and just heat that, I suppose. Removable so it could be lifted away from the batteries after winter so they don't overheat. Hmmmm.

@Matt Sqwrl @Ret ah thanks both, you're right, a bit of lagging might help! I have dust sheets and foam and stuff I could just pack around the sides and see if it helps. (Need to keep any vents clear, of course.)

Pity. If I was more than one person my business would qualify for this kind of thing. (I don't actually have any customers with managed dedicated hosts right now, but could easily do so - I colo machines for some customers, and I do OS-level management for other customers. Could certainly buy a machine, colo it and manage it for someone. But… I don't have a twin. 🤷)


Still struggling to find a secondary hosting provider in the UK who meets the following criteria:

1. Dedicated hosting (i.e. a server to ourselves)

2. Managed hosting (OS-level security updates, monitoring for disk use, failure etc.)

3. Enough members of staff to be resilient (not a one-person business)

4. Front-line staff who answer tickets know what they're talking about

5. Small enough to care about fellow SMEs

6. Not Mythic Beasts (because they're the primary provider)



There was a lot of gossip. Not because they were both very old, and famous. Not only because both used the same pronouns. Mostly because they were different species.

How do they do it?

"Like everybody else," the heir to the Elven throne said.

The dragon smiled. "With love, care, and enthusiasm."

During BLFC, Kibou was sitting next to me taking commissions with crayons, something truly adorable to see.
I understand that feeling, just drawing for the joy of it, not worrying about perfection, not overthinking, but simply enjoying every color and line, and sharing that happiness through it.

I was trying to remember whether I posted this link before. A search suggests that yes, I did, a few months ago, but I've made some edits since then. As I'm mostly happy with it now, here it is again! A short (approx 12 minutes to read), fursuity, time-travelly, cuddly, science fictiony story. See what you think!

Holy flip… and this guy's 23 years old. Twenty-three. And I can still remember the excitement of the first time I took Kelsey out (my first time ever in fursuit), at Megaplex in 2003. How time flies.


I just realized that my fursuit turned 10 years old a couple of weeks ago.

I have now watched A Minecraft Movie. I really am not sure what I think of Jack Black. While I can't imagine anyone else voicing Po as well as him, most of the things I've seen him in, he's just so over-the-top it doesn't seem credible. My disbelief just doesn't suspend far enough. Pity, because by all accounts he's a really good guy.

Winter Flu season apparently is gonna be bad.

If you don't qualify for a free Flu vaccine on on the NHS, you can get one cheap from plenty of places.

Try supermarket pharmacies like in an Asda. They usually do them fairly low cost.

When I had a stroke I was actually quite shocked at the lack of information from NHS when discharged.

When I had a fall I had like four separate "you broke, or nearly broke, this that and the other" type advice sheets. Very good stuff.

For a stroke I only had one thing on speech issues (with a number to call if I had problems, yes, really!). Nothing on what is a stroke, or why, or what to do next.

But it seems that if ever I have a hip replacement the NHS has detailed advice for me... Phew.

That moment when you can't quite remember how long your NAS spends in firmware mode after reboot, but you do know that:

a. It has done some sort of update
b. It is not responding to pings on any of its Ethernet interfaces
c. The status lamps indicate something involving disks is happening inside the box

#FossilFuel companies are killing the planet and everyone on it. We’ve known this for decades.

They lobby and pour poison in the ears of politicians of every persuasion. They do this in person at events such as #COP, so there is no paper trail.

You cannot negotiate with wolves.

Freeze them out of all discussions and impose and enforce laws on them to act in the interest of people, nature and climate.

Welcome to the new me. :) The new suit had its grand debut last weekend and I couldn't be happier. Having a full suit will make me overheat and get tired faster, but being fully covered in fluff and softness is a wonderful and immersive feeling. And oh my goodness all the new fluff and the life in that face... I'm so happy. @selkiesuits absolutely knocked it out of the park.
