First patch of #weekOfPatching. I'm traveling this week and forgot to bring anything to record with. Will need to sort this out... Here's a photo.

Hah! This sounds like fun. Sad I missed it. https://arstechnica.com/culture/2026/07/inside-the-luddite-festival-harnessing-gen-zs-rage-against-big-tech/

Unsurprisingly, JFK today is full of people who have never interacted with TSA before. I feel for you, welcome to our dumb system. #theVent

Uhm. I somehow missed this 14yo RFC. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6648

https://floating.farm/ is so cool. I did not expect to learn about this from Clarkson's Farm.

When a sandwich place doesn't label sandwiches, it's always very easy to tell which is mine versus Mel's. The heavier one is mine, because the more toppings the better in my opinion. #theGalley

For friends of #recursecenter, I'll be in the space all day tomorrow. Come say hi! #nevergraduate

It's the 15y anniversary of Recurse Center (@recursecenter@mastodon.social). Still one of the greatest things I've done is go to RC to spend time writing code and building things. Highly recommend. If you have any questions, happy to answer.

For #BandcampFriday, I just published my new album Natural: https://subalpinedrift.bandcamp.com/album/natural

This is the culmination of my work in #theStudio during my residency in Patton, PA. Thanks to everyone who supported and encouraged me to get this out. First real #music album I've ever done!

Over the weekend, I created https://robot.villas using @fedify@hollo.social 2.0. Not knowing how activitypub worked made this a lot harder than I expected, but did get there in the end.

Each bot mirrors an RSS feed. @nyt_travel@robot.villas as an example. You can add your RSS feed for funzies at https://github.com/icco/robot.villas/blob/main/feeds.yml

Let me know if you run into any issues with my new little bot farm of news.
