    My wife shared a really thoughtful post about the concept of “nice”.

    “At times it feels as though, “be nicer” is on equal footing with the much loathed gibe “you should smile more,” and it feels mildly paternalistic and insulting to me”

    The computer is built. Now I just have to design and print a box for it!

    Really enjoying this Jazz arrangement of some familiar tunes from Final Fantasy VII. Would love to see this for 6, and 9 as well.

    Looking through some of my old archives, and stumbled on this fun cornhole board project I did a decade ago. I never did build this thing. Maybe this is the year?

    I’m building a custom PC build for a Linux-based home media center!

    Kate and I decided we wanted a Blu-ray player because we’re tired of the antics of streaming services and want to regain a modicum of control over our media again. I shopped around and didn’t find one that didn’t have a bunch of baked-in streaming services that was any good.

    So with this incredibly flimsy excuse, I took this as an opportunity to finally build my first custom PC, complete with a blu-ray drive. It will be a Linux-based media center on either LibreELEC or Debian + KODI, and will be able to connect to my PLEX server upstairs.

    I ended up spending about what you’d spend on a decent mid-range Blu-ray player today, but I’d wager the hardware I got is much better, and I’ll actually be able to control the software.

    Oh, and I plan on 3D printing the case.

    Really excited about this project!

    What are y’all using for background removal these days?I have a large batch of images I need to remove the background from. I’m more than capable of doing it myself (I literally published books on how to do this with GIMP) but it’s tedious and I’m thinking maybe AI can do it.

    I love building sites that are dark mode first. Siren’s new site is looking so…so good.

    Can’t wait to share!
