Good news, success! Apparently the new rim came WITH a motor. I was futzing with getting the old motor out and then said to myself... That new rim is pretty heavy... And already has a cable dangling out of it Bad news: I have a date with a wire stripper and a soldering iron to fix my brake light cable. I missed it on rear tire insertion and didn't realize it until I started moving the wheel. *sigh*

Big day today. I'd already moved my photos off OneDrive onto local server storage and imported them into Immich. Worked with @ToniaThomas@swingset.social today to move her photos off of both OneDrive and Google Photos and onto local server storage, and imported them into Immich. t-minus a month and a half until we finally stop paying for Microsoft services / storage! (our #immich setup has it running in a docker container, with ml enabled with access to a modest gpu for processing)

I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. https://screenrant.com/stargate-amazon-new-series-canceled/ This is why I won't trust things I love to corporations anymore. I want to love stories and story telling universes, but I just can't deal with Amazon owning Stargate and having the power to just kill something. Same but with Paramount and Star Trek, and Avatar, both story universes which I love FIERCELY. I won't allow big fucking faceless corp to hook my heart.

Do you remember when Weird Al had 100 gigabytes of ram?

I remember.

speaking of warm temperatures... the most important thing i learned last year when I started commuting 25 miles each way to work on an ebike was that it was important to check my ego / sense of "justice" on following the rules of the road.

For example, when in car, if other car do bad, instinct to use car to bracket or otherwise limit other car ability to do bad strong. (still a bad idea, but lizard brain make me want do)

In bike, it better to be safe then right.

Temperatures: warm

AND ANOTHER THING

I'm not sure I'm behind the B2B trend, it's just resulted in some more ~diluted~ generic sounding sets. It takes two halves and ends up iwith less than a whole.

But i'd love to get some recommendations on some sets to change my mind!

I listened to a YeeDM mix today.

I did not hate it.

I'd be willing to stretch a bit and try some Drum N' CountryBass if I can find some.

I don't know how people do this whole "have a nesting partner with a opposite schedule" thing long term.

I / we are seven months in and it feels like forever.

@andnull@social.nouveau.community more facts are always good. I'm 100% in support of undoing our car infrastructure ways. even bought an ebike last year for commuting to work which i absolutely love.

@andnull@social.nouveau.community I'm going to remember you in quote. "Do not help build the new car dependent infrastructure or everything you care about will be paved over." thank you for this.
