It's art of Lenora Barkley, a yinglet, sitting with her head leaned back far enough to look directly behind herself.

The art was drawn by PerryThePeryton!

It's art of Lenora Barkley by PerryThePeryton! She's a yinglet with a raccoon-like fur pattern and eyes colored with a gradient of blue and pink. She also has a marking on her front shaped like an exclamation point.

She has raised a can of soup up like a prize she has won and she is so excited about it! (All she did was buy it from a store.)

@ai6yr @unlambda I took a chance that it wouldn’t just be listed (and if it was, I wouldn’t have shared it!). Most places that list filming locations only cover major landmarks, and as expected this mostly just let me narrow down the search to Hollywood, Burbank, Pasadena, and a couple more […]

@unlambda @ai6yr (Ironically, on Apple Maps, that Mobil is just a dirt pile, as it looks like it's being rebuilt... but enough of the other markers matched, and it had a billboard...)

@unlambda @ai6yr Ah! Good confirmation! My strategy was:
- Do a bit of reading on Spinal Tap filming locations (presumably it would be near another filming site.)
- Use Apple Maps' excellent 3D satellite view, searching for Mobil's near known film locations, ruling out ones that weren't on the […]

Nothing has been more damaging to my mental health lately than watching this decline, first with fascination, then revulsion. “AI” is another push away from sanity.

I want to build my own OS so badly. Get the idea of “computer” back on track.

I just don’t know where to find the energy […]

Modern computing is dead.

Microsoft killed it by filing it with ads and tracking. Apple killed it by forgetting why their products were desirable. Google killed it by locking down the open platform.

I’m just so depressed with my entire industry. These tools used to be limitless, fun, and clear […]

@korybing.bsky.social Shame. At least this version is well preserved for present and future archaeologists.

@korybing.bsky.social I feel like I encountered this ages ago, but I don't remember. It definitely feels like an internet classic.

The 240p video quality really doesn't do it justice. Amazing.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING CAT

A rather scruffy (positive) looking orange cat. He has extra long whiskers on his cheeks and eyes. His ears have big tufts at the top that look like flames, and his paws are polydactyl.

Ditto, reaching forward with the left paw

Blergh. The Portainer.io rebrand is one of the WORST rebrands I think I have ever seen. Sure, it was bland before, but now it looks like Robolox Discord wannabe neo-hip-trendy.

It doesn't feel like a dependable, mature container management tool anymore, it […]

The old Portainer.io website. Simple, if bland, blue and flat, with a stylized wave separating the hero from the page content.

The new Portainer.io website, with purple and grey color scheme, variable-width all-caps fonts alternating between condensed and wide styles that feels like it's yelling at me. Also there's an "Ask AI" button in the corner now.

As an aside, I've poked in the fandom a little, and have what most people would call a "fursona"... but I don't like the label either, and I also don't consider myself a furry. I don't post on furry sites or really interact with the "fandom" that much. I've got enough friends that are furries […]

A friend was asked if they were a furry, because of their cat ear bike helmet. I jokingly asked them "well, are you?", and they said something truly great:

"I don't want to be, so I'm not. It's not a label I want.

The problem is everyone that isn't a furry considers me a furry.

@Gauss I use this for my databases. I dump to the local filesystem which has snapshots, then a script uploads those to S3 periodically.

I could just go straight to S3 too.

I am strongly resisting the urge to make a fantasy retro computer emulator in JavaScript, then write an entire OS for said computer to act as my personal website.

No. Bad idea. It will never get finished. I’d need a compiler and libraries and determine a set of opcodes to build my architecture […]
