Welp, I think it's best if I go back to lurk mode here for a while. Sorry folks, I don't feel welcome.

Y'all have fun without me :)

I'm being more selective with who I let follow my account - especially people I don't really know.

I'm not eager to discuss some topics here - especially politics and other "hot button" topics - especially with people I haven't gotten to know better. This is more my sanctuary than the average Twitter account.

If I don't know you and you follow me, a predominance of those subjects in your TL is more likely to get a reject from me, at least initially. Sorry, try again later.

I am back! With a very important announcement!

not sure I ever did an #introductions actually

I'm a living-type person with one foot in my #tech job (open source, #CouchDB, #OfflineFirst), one foot in #electronics (analogue design, synthesizers, etc.), another in #music (currently participating in A Whale's Lantern) and another in relaxing stuff (#comedy #scifi #cats).

Oops, that makes me a quadruped Well, you get the idea.

My timeline is mostly politics free and inclusive. Come here to #relax. Look forward to meeting you!

OK, I just saw Sorry to Bother You.

Very good, enjoyable, fell short of my top rating for some inconsistent storytelling and cinematography.

But I liked it.

Preacher S3 really picked up. I feel like they thought hard about how all the episodes would tie together, rather than just worked backwards from the comic books to figure out how they'd put those scenes into a different storyline.

You get the rope.

You fall to the floor. The rope was made with open source documentation and it is too flimsy to support its own weight

You'd print out your key, bring 2 pieces of ID, and then we meet up for coffee and cross-sign our keys

Anyone in #Toronto want to do an impromptu GPG key signing party?

POSIX should define an I_AM_AN_ADULT env var that turns off emojis and animations in shell commands

The drive needs new capacitors before the power supply will power up again.

These are some HUGE capacitors. They are NOT CHEAP to replace.

Here's photos of: the back of the drive, 2 of the caps that need replacing, and the main controller board in the transport itself.

For scale, the large round cap in picture #2 is about the size of one of the new, smaller cans of Diet Coke.

OK, time to get back to discussing weird electronics.

This is my PDP-11's 9 track tape transport. I have a stack of tapes that need to be read in.

It's a CDC model, and that front door hinges open to the left. It interfaces to the PDP-11 with an Emulex TC05, though I also have Dilog DQ132 (both QBUS) I could probably use.

I saw Charlotte Rae as Mrs. Hannigan in Annie when it toured nationally in...1979? Before Diff'rent Strokes.

Even though I was barely sentient, I could tell she stole the show.

An amazing performer. She is missed.

RIP Charlotte Rae
