I aim to be more human. I aim to be less apathetic as a human. Apathy grows, like a tree, and I aim to prune my own.

    I didn’t go for a walk, but I did get my small flock of chickens outside in a run for my mental health. I got sunburn pretty badly for the effort, too, and it took me well over a week to get the whole thing built. But they were getting annoying inside. Every time I passed the bird room they’d get excited and start launching themselves at the side of their tent. It really set the quail off.

    I’m just waiting for someone to complain. I have a license, one of 10 in my town of 15,000. I shouldn’t qualify because of how far into town I am, but I do because I have a unique property and one neighbor who consented (the rest don’t matter, the one is the only within 100ft of the coop). This is all above board, but some people tried keeping geese several years back and had to rehome them because of complaints, so I’m just waiting…

    I magneted my license to my front door so hopefully any complaints just sort of go away without my intervention, even if they don’t check city records… but I have one too many because my friend who got my chicks got one too many in case of deaths. I’m good with birds and have never had one die, including quail and conures, so now I just have an extra Buff Orpington.





  • Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.

    Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….

    (I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)






  • This came up as a plot point in some other animated show, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it was…

    Like the realization that they were hurting so many people so they could survive and save the world or whatever it was… and it just killed them inside…

    (And I’m fairly certain I’m not thinking of Rick and Morty, although that does sort of happen as well… and I don’t think it was bojack horseman either…)


  • Thanks for this!

    Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…

    I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use tor, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!

    I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using BOINC crowdsource computing for research in the early noughties. :)



  • I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.

    I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers that, like, make me feel better.

    I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension (idk shit about docker and don’t really want to learn rn), like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?
