For those of you who got a notice from Keybase this morning, saying your Mastdon proof just broke, it should be back working now. We had a site outage. I've been looking into what caused it, and I have a pretty good idea.
The answer is... jean shorts. AKA "jorts". It's a long story.

The ancient hard drive whirs under the apprentices right hand, as the others' fingertips rest over the keying board. The kernel ventures to the dead sectors, fragmented and distant from the seek head though they may be. The codec, deftly won in a game the evening prior, lays open on the desk nearby.
Runes suddenly flood the screen. Attention is closely paid, notes are taken. Within moments, the drive succumbs to its oxidation and the screen darkens, but the secret has been told. The apprentice utters a small gasp. "The rumors were false," he says. "Rust really does have a specification."

#Inktober2019 day 7 „enchanted“
How to combine my hands #Inktober with this prompt? Why not draw an enchanted forest/landscape on a hand!
I fear the next few drawings have to become a little simpler again. This is getting out of hand! (Haha)

A new episode of the #audiobook #podcast I narrate. "UNSONG Audiobook - Interlude Kaph: The Outer Gate" http://traffic.libsyn.com/unsong/UNSONG_interlude_kaph.mp3
One year ago today, I played my #boardgame "Overworld" with Amy and Kevin, and we were photobombed by Dana.
In Michigan, Columbus Day is now officially changed to Indigenous Peoples Day.

The development of space travel technology is often preceded by tinkerers and hobby engineers hammering away in their garages. The most prolific group of these DIY builders call themselves the Dragons, and their goals are simple: Building the most visually striking ships in existence. The famous annual Dragon Parade on the Jupiter moon Ganymed is truly a sight to behold: some of the quirkiest and strangest designs in the solar system as far as the eye can see.

Then this young guy comes a-ringing, my most slothful feast he's bringing,
For the grim and grave travails of the kitchen do I shirk,
“With a pie of cheeses shredded, thou,” I said, “bring sticks a-breaded,
Slices plenty, sausage sizzling, carried with a knowing smirk—
Let me tip you with a tenner so I don't seem like a jerk!”
Quoth the pizza man,
“fuck work"
Google's new #Stadia console platform will run a simulation of your mind and personality on their cloud servers to play a video game. It thens streams the resulting video to you over #YouTube, while you make the same motions with the joystick that it predicted you would make.
This is how they achieve what they euphemistically call "negative latency".
How do you know you are not the simulation, you ask? The answer is, you usually figure it out pretty quick. Then they just reboot you.
