Kirby CMS is great, but I’m struggling with having to add links to images using markup like (image: file://sksm5mi13dg0aexn) because the normal relative markdown link format doesn’t work. How’s that portable? Makes me itchy.
I needed a break from operating system fatigue, so I farted around with the Rolleiflex, the self-timer, and a roll of HP5
I’ve been on the Mac all day. This whole time a voice has been whispering, “There are sooo many fun things to play with if you’d just plug in that other monitor cable.” Ugh! The temptation is incessant!
I’ve noticed that I prefer dark modes in Linux, I can’t stand them in macOS. Is that normal?
I love analog stuff, especially office supplies.
Keeping one foot in macOS and the other in Linux is a terrible idea, but I’m doing it anyway.
Tahoe, you left me no choice: Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast. I’d rather it hurt my eyes a little than be unreadable.

I stood there for the longest time but this stupid horse refused to look at me.

Nikon FE2 / Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 / HP5 @1600.
Vuescan under Linux steals window focus the entire time it’s scanning. Makes it impossible to do anything else while scans are running :). Things like reviewing the completed scans. I thought maybe Cosmic would be different, but it must be a Wayland thing.
After a few successful days with Fedora 43 Cosmic spin on the laptop, I wiped Omarchy from the Beelink and installed Fedora there, too. I should’ve written more notes, because it’s taken me about 5 hours to get things where I want them on both machines, and I’m sure there will be more.
I’m on the couch, reading blogs and writing notes on my laptop. The whole time, I’d forgotten that I was using Linux. That tells me something. Linux is fine.
Spent hours searching for how to proxy my NAS services so “normies” in my family don’t need to figure out Tailscale without me needing to open a port on my LAN. I could’ve just guessed and would’ve been right. VPS/Caddy/Tailscale/DNS and boom. btw Caddy and Tailscale are miracles.
Fedora with Cosmic Desktop
Installed Fedora’s Cosmic spin this afternoon, then saw that Cosmic has gone 1.0 so that was nice timing. I want tiling windows without the fidgety-ness of something like i3 or even Hyperland. So far, so good, but it’s only been a few hours. linuxiac.com/pop_os-24…
All this cross-posting and ActivityPub and mentions, etc. might be too much.
I’ve been using the Lofree keyboard for a while now. I’m used to it, but I still don’t love it. Having real function and arrow keys sure is handy, though. This morning I plugged in my beloved HHKB and…it felt weird and clumsy. Back to Lofree for now.
I impulse ordered a Kodak Charmera when I saw one in stock because they’re never in stock. I wasn’t expecting much, but it didn’t take long to realize that I’m not nostalgic for bad 1.6MP digital images :)
Darkroom print of Alice in snow. Stylus Epic / HP5.
I wanted to print this with the snow completely white. Meant dialing contrast to #5. It’s more abstract than I’d planned, but still fun.
