I collaborated with the Internet Archive to make a new 24/7 lofi livestream!

By day, you can see scanners scanning and what they're scanning. After hours, you will see public domain silent movies and pictures. Sorta like an Internet Archive TV

Some WIP pics. Highly recommend if you have a few hours to spare. Plastic material actually feels *better* than stock 😅

Translucent Switch 2 done! The Joycons were easier to do than I thought, and the results look pretty awesome IMO 😋

“Edited” with the iOS 26 “pause recording” button. Honestly pretty goated feature!

Tonight's Switch 2 modding progress: got the main console backplate done! Pretty easy, but not looking forward to the joycons…

I prompted GPT5, Claude, and Gemini (nano banana) to complete a sticker image from my regretti spaghetti sticker pack. Here are the results.

This is a reminder to enjoy take an evening, black out your room, and enjoy that OLED panel you bought. Modern technology is incredible but sometimes we don't properly appreciate it.

They watched Interstellar btw so that's why the subs

3D printing nerds: are there any reputable services in the US that will do *large* 3d prints? Think 1 meter long

Halfway (?) checkpoint!

Only 2nd bag of pieces in and I’m already missing pieces… also the quality of these Mattel bricks are way worse than Lego…

Oh the bluegrass is free? Nice I might! I’m already out and about on my wheel

Sophia @sof.is · 5d

Damn you were right I wish I read this before I went 🥲

Salt & Straw putting actual bugs in their ice cream is something I never thought I'd see in the US.

Creepy Crawly Critters flavor has chocolate covered mealworms and candied crickets with matcha base. Pretty good but I'm not a fan of matcha
