One Beat (2002) by Sleater-Kinney on CD.

Another powerhouse release where they double down on riot grrrl punk, but slip in just a hint of blues. Every riff and drum hit feels locked in—tight, fierce, and deliberate.

My only gripe is the mastering. The CD pushes so hard that it loses some breathing room, which makes it fatiguing after a while. A record this good deserves more dynamic range.

Viene spento l’ultimo IBM 7030 “STRETCH”, supercomputer IBM nato nel 1955 per essere 100-200 volte più veloce dei concorrenti. Primo con transistor, dischi veloci (32 MB), memoria rapida (2 MB) e innovazioni come pipelining, lookahead, multitasking e autocorrezione. Ne furono costruiti solo 8, usati da enti governativi; la NSA ebbe la versione “Harvest” per il codebreaking.

Know Your Rights in Encounters with Law Enforcement and Military Troops | ACLU


aclu.org/news/national-securit…

If you’re in a city where law enforcement or military troops are present, it’s important to know your rights. If you are stopped on the street, you may ask, “Am I free to go?” If the answer is “yes,” you are free to walk away. If arrested or detained, you have the right to remain silent. In certain circumstances, you can also refuse searches of your belongings or car. If you witness or document police or military activity, you generally have the right to record in public spaces as long as you do not interfere with law enforcement activity.


In addition to "Am I free to go?" and "Am I being detained?" and "Am I under arrest?", I would add "I do not consent to a search of myself or any other person, place, or thing."

If the answer to "Am I being detained?" is "Yes," I would ask "Where is my lawyer? I can not afford to hire one, so one must be appointed for me before any questioning."

This is a really great read that's a little misleading in the title: It's more "You don't need as many animations as you can possibly stuff into your app", and it's got some really useful examples of when animations do and don't make sense emilkowal.ski/ui/you-dont-need…

The image shows a social media notification. The notification is displayed on a dark background with a gray bar. On the left side of the bar, there is a small profile picture of a pixelated face, resembling a character from the game Minecraft. Next to the profile picture, the username "herobrine" is displayed in white text within a gray oval. The text "now follows ..." is also in white, followed by "9 hours ago" in smaller text. The overall design is simple and typical of social media platforms.

#Journal of a slightly busy Dutch Pixy :pixy_party: (Thursday, 04/09/2025).

I woke up a few times during the night and then I got up around 0:45. A little early, but I was wide awake so I best start my day.

According to the watch, I slept about 8 hours in total. My sleep score was at 89, so not too shabby. My energy score was low, at 59, as my "rhythm was off". As I mentioned yesterday, if you don't sleep between 23-2, my watch will take off points because it thinks you're disrupting your sleep routine. You can't change that for folks that are doing better on a different time schedule... 🤔

I got up and went to the scale. It showed me the same weight as the previous day. I took my meds, got dressed, and got ready to head to the gym. When I saw the moon shining rather beautifully, I got teary eyed. I thought about my grandma. But also, all the nights where I walked with Arwen and where I took snaps of the moon 🌕 during those SniffiVerse™ walkies...

I got to the gym safe and sound and dried my eyes and headed in. As I was scrolling a bit on Masto, my stomach started to cramp. Damn! Not here... Not now... 😔 Of course there were several people still around, some of whom would use the ladies room... Full of shame, I headed to the furthest, smallest, loo and did my terrible thing... 🫣 Ugh! That's always the downside for me, coming back from vacation where I enjoyed (white) buns. It always affects my bowels. The joys of IBS. 😔

After that, I headed to the seated bike. I rode on a low level at a slow speed for half an hour. Then I headed to the treadmill. I walked in it for ten minutes, most of it at 2,8kmh with a 2% incline. I still feel like I wobble, like my right leg seems shorter than the left one. Maybe it's true, maybe it has to do with my muscles? I definitely need to ask my PT next Tuesday. After the walk, I used the massage chair for ten minutes and then I got ready to head home again.

I changed my clothes and then headed upstairs to work on my blog a bit. After that I relaxed with some telly. Around 5:30 I tried to quietly pack Skoosh with my recycling cans and bottles. A short walk after that before I got into Skoosh and I headed to Nijmegen.

The steets were less busy than I thought, so I was at my parents too early, even though I had filled up Skoosh at the gas station. While mum was getting ready, bestie called me, so I had a chat with her while waiting for mum.

When mum was finally ready, we headed towards Kleve. First Penny, where we tried to get the recycling ♻️ bits handed in. Unfortunately, they didn't accept it all, so we were left with a few bits. Still, not having been there for a while made it that we got €50 for all the bottles and cans! That goes into the "puppy saving tin" 🐾.

We managed the other groceries we needed, so we headed back to Nijmegen. Two stores there to visit. But at the Appie, I got a very painful entrance. The gate closed a tad fast and rather hard, and of course it smashed against the most painful bit of my leg. 😢 So after some pain and tears, mum and I told a worker there, as mum also got the gate smashed against her... Of course this didn't take away the ouchies, so I hobbled through the store, trying to get back on track.

We got back to my parent's house and I helped unpack the car and bags. When mum was ready with her bits and bops, we headed to the small woods with Bas. It was a bit hard for me to be there, as some of the last snaps of Arwen were made there. 😢 But the walk was nice, although a tad sore.

After the walk, dad wasn't up yet, and I didn't have the time nor the energy to wait too long. So mum and I gathered the needed things to head to the city's center to pick up the two laptops for dad and me... We couldn't park at the usual spot, unfortunately, so we had to park in a further away location which was also more expensive. But the pickup went well, payment went OK, and before we knew it, we were heading back to Skoosh again.

When we got back, dad was up. So I handed him the bag with his laptop and mouse. After that I gathered my groceries and laptop and packed up Skoosh to head back home. Fortunately, "my spot" was still free, so I could easily park behind the house and get my stuff inside.

I fixed some food and then I unpacked the laptop. Slowly started to install things and bits and such. But I was rather tired, so after a while I just gave up and got ready to head to bed. My leg was very sore and I needed some extra meds to be able to lay down properly so I could relax and be able to fall asleep.

I didn't wake up too often during the night, and in the end, I woke up at 2 when the alarm went off. I had slept for about 9 hours! Which was a long time for me... Ready to start the night 😉.

The image is a vibrant pink poster with the title "Cynni's" at the top, indicating a music-related event or summary from August 24 to 30. The poster features three circular images of artists, with one in the center showing a group. Below the images, there are two main sections: "2,646 Minuten Top tracks" and "692 Streams Top artists." The top tracks list includes "One Is Such A Lon...", "I Love The Sound...", "Beautiful Boy - St...", "Fingertips '93," and "Love Spins - T&A...," while the top artists list features "Roxette," "Per Gessle," "Feuerschwanz," "Mono Inc.," and "Rammstein." The bottom of the poster states "You're 77% energiek," suggesting a user's engagement level. The URL "stats.fm/cynnipixy" is provided at the bottom left corner.

After what seems like an age, we released v0.31.0 of the Rust geo crate on Monday. The major new feature is performant geometry offsetting (or buffering if you prefer) which completes the trifecta of boolean and affine ops. We now also provide an efficient Bentley-Ottmann implementation underlying our line-line intersection functionality, and more perf improvements aimed at efficient processing of large geometries are now landing regularly: docs.rs/geo/latest/geo/ and github.com/georust/geo/blob/ma….

Just noting that Gorka here suggests that anyone who believes Kilmar Abrego has basic due process rights is an enemy of America who they can kill. Normally, that would be a story.

Trump will "Kriegsministerium" statt Verteidigungsministerium

Der selbsternannte Friedensmacher und US-Präsident Trump plant eine symbolträchtige Namensänderung: Im Pentagon soll bald das "Kriegsministerium" sitzen. So hieß das Ressort schon in zwei Weltkriegen.

Nur wer mit Krieg rechnet, benötigt ein „Kriegsministerium“.
🤔 ... US interne Konflikte?
🤔 ... oder doch nur ein Verunsicherungsmanöver, ähnlich diverser Zollankündigungen?

🙀 Vor und während Reisen nach China, Russland, Nordkorea, Iran, Jemen oder Grönland sollte man Trumps Ankündigungen vorsichtshalber aufmerksam beobachten.

Selbsternannter US-Präsident? Habe ich etwas verpasst? Herr Trump ist mit deutlicher Mehrheit gewählt worden. Er hat jedes Recht, Unsinn zu machen. Leider.


I looked at the sky and I could not understand what I was seeing. I knew what it was, a red moon, tinted by the wildfire smoke. But I could not feel in my body the understanding of what I was seeing. No previous point of reference for something as unchangeable as the moon. A part of me tried to negotiate: maybe it was a moon eclipse! (It was not).

We know what's happening, but I'm afraid we can't understand it.

@sunumbral here it was the Little Kid who pointed it out. I was surprised. The air quality (at ground level?) is not the worse we've seen.. we're barely in 50-70 AQI, but it is having quite an effect on the light.

I caught a glimpse of the sun earlier today, and I honestly turned away.
