The new No Man’s Sky update — swarm — looks so much fun.

I keep getting obsessed with NMS for a couple weeks then I stop for months. 🙁

I need to start committing, I think.

Gliding down to the Tallneck

Aloy glides down from the Cinnabar Sands satellite dish, towards the head of the Tallneck.

I died far too many times from the two Scrappers and Skydrifter on site — with no metal shards left at the start of the encounter no less.

I should add that I’m playing on ultra hard mode (not new game plus). So I’m essentially naked at this point in the game. :S

Sorry to all the people who follow me. I’ve been indecisive about which fedi instance I want to keep as my home.

I have now settled on my WordPress website with the ActivityPub and Friends plugins.

I did switch to YunoHost with a mastodon instance, but that server is already costing me too much money and I need a new boiler.

So everything I post online will be on this website from this moment going forward.

So let me get this right.

I installed #Vivaldi browser to get away from #google. Then I go to install the bitwarden extension, and I have to agree to google toc’s in order to use the chrome web store?

Capturing the stories

I have an internet friend who was also once my boss.

He writes a lot over on his blog — he writes blogging tips, short stories, cyberpunk, funny/quirky tales.

I find it inspiring for myself wanting to create short stories too.

Not short stories in books — just blog-length ones.

I tend to get little ideas of “what ifs” pop in my head now and again, but most end up getting forgotten.

I need to start using my notebook again.

As I write this, the tap is dripping, and I am thinking “Maybe a story about the frustrations of a dripping tap”.

We’ll see.

This post is one of those thoughts too: the thought that I should start to just write the ideas that I have.

No filter.

No excuses.

Let’s see how this goes.

#writing #blogging

I’m back up and running with #YunoHost again.

This time for keeps.

Using #Immich for photos and video backups and viewings. It’s incredible.

Set up initial #PeerTube instance where I’ll prob share short Playstation 5 clips I make.

And #Forgejo for moving all of my public repositories out of GitHub.

Gonna try and write up some longer posts about it all soon.

The logic of reform UK (fash) party:

“We want to stop all the ‘foreigners’ from entering our country.”

Also: “we want to restore Britain to it’s ‘great’ days of ‘world trade’ etc” — obviously referring to the days of empire*.

*Yano, the times when we would be the “foreigners” invading other countries for their raw materials and riches.

Also: “Our Culture” as they refer to it, was mostly imported into Britain as the result of all that colonialism.

Prove me wrong.
