I think it's because we're still in a cultural and economic whiplash from 2020

Private data was the first thing I looked for. It feels like a pretty big gap in the atmosphere in general now it's grown to the point that something like @aetheros.computer even exists

Ah it's beautiful there! I stayed in a house there once that was basically a mirror image of the one in your video, indoor braai and all. With that, and such a recognisable coastline I had to ask!

I think a lot of Capetonians would disagree with you there! 😂

An Accuweather report for Gardens, Cape Town, showing a forecast of hazy sunshine. The weather is currently 36 degrees centigrade, 38 for the real-feel, 34 for the real-feel in shade, with a cautionary "very hot" warning of a high of 37, and a night time low of 22. Air Quality is listed as unhealthy.

Cape Town has no mercy today, and I live in one of the cooler parts of the city. No four-seasons-in-a-day today, it's just the one!

You're only giving me hope! Bit of downtime here and there can't be the worst thing. It's cool to be able to check out the stats there on blueat too, gives me a nice idea of what I'm getting in terms of bandwidth.

Makes sense, thanks for the pointers! It does seem like it will be simpler than I'd expect to do, but I also wonder if others have gone down this road before and that there's a reason I can't find any other attempts online

I thought this was a silly idea but thanks to this post I'm now thinking it's a silly idea that I might attempt

We would probably need to stick to posting from our phones to avoid pushing to a repo that could be offline, but I feel like most of us wouldn't have too difficult a time with that either way.

We don't need it to be fully available since Tap can handle backfill. We already store a lot of blobs on our phones, probably the same ones we've uploaded to our PDS.

I'm seeing all this PDS talk and I keep wondering, could you run a PDS from your phone? I feel like you can't get a more personal than a data server in your pocket.

Toumani Diabaté also has some wonderful recordings with his son, Sidiki.

Would love to check out some of the films you're talking about if you have any recommendations.

The latter two are both using Raylib by @raysan5.bsky.social, which is unmatched as always in terms of being a pleasure to work with.

Literally the only dependency for the dungeon crawler, which I think speaks for itself.

A screenshot of a black-and-white video game. The user is looking down from a bird's eye view onto a relief map made up of text characters. There is a crosshair off-center with indicators on the top and bottom, and left and right of the screen which are tracking the crosshair's horizontal and vertical positioning.

I've updated my website with some projects from the last while

- Option / Result types for PHP
- A dungeon crawler poc
- A simpler game poc / art piece

To be fair, I might have put off reading both Brave new World and 1984 a bit longer than I should have. Both, while fun reads, have felt pretty clumsy overall.

I feel like the state of the world right now is making reading Brave new World a little less exciting than it could otherwise have been.

it's actually crazy the number of smaller artists tiktok has put me onto in the last few years. it's almost become what I used to use soundcloud for in the 2010s
