it feels very fitting that Tom Scott basically retired to be a games show presenter. It's very British.

Ive successfully installed Immich, a self-hosted Google Photos-like. Very happy with it so far, gonna take a little while to transfer 200 GB of backed up photos, but it's chugging along.
Also, I know what a docker container is now! My power is unstoppable!

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

My favorite machine at work is the paper scruncher. Its a machine that you feed a big roll of brown paper and when you press a foot pedal, it spits out pre cut lengths of crunched up paper for packing stuff. And yes, it does make a wonderful noise not unlike a chuck e cheese ticket muncher.

I think it says a lot about me that my first time full send slipping and falling on my ass was because I was going down an alley to better photograph a building demolition

idfk man, I think the picking up an extra hour at work + the early sunsets is doing something to my brain. I have mental energy for just about one task after work, which usually ends up being an errand, and then I come home and stare into my computer like this for a few hours, and then go to sleep.
