Ferris Bueller's day off seems to have been on June 5. I took the day off, as appropriate.
June 6 is the national day of Sweden, a national holiday. I spent it slightly hungover after having attended a concert with Covenant the night before.

I spent most of the long weekend with stomach trouble. The usual IBS thing, I think. Dammit. I slept a couple of hours during the day on Friday and Saturday and spent most of the rest of the time reading "Harrow the Ninth", Tamsyn Muir's wonderful followup to the hilarious "Gideon the Ninth". Necromantic sword lesbians in space!
Chaos Communication Camp, Chaos Computer Club's summer camp, is coming up this year. I've never been to one of the summer camps, but as you know I'm a regular at the winter conferences. Apparently some people would like to see me go to CCCamp. I'm not sure yet. I seem to have missed the last opportunity to get tickets because I hesitated so much...
Do you think you're the type to dismiss? Dismiss... thoughts, feelings, hobbies, people, work, education. Literally anything. The Problems. I would say I came to that realization recently, but it wasn't *new* information... It never was, when you're too self aware for your own good! But that's the problem too. You *think* you're self aware, but still don't even realize... you've dismissed that you're dismissing SO much, so much that you got it locked in the subconscious. Behind some foggy wall you cant even bear to swim through after over two decades of living.
Ok it's a clickbait. But hey, you might as well keep reading now!
I've been using vis[0] as my main editor for a few years now, and decided to make this post to bring attention onto it. But first, let's have some context.
I mean, it’s obvious to anyone who’s paying attention when someone’s faking this kind of thing. But some people don’t want to pay attention. Some people just want to be angry.

is apparently done in a 1980s style. The apparently is because the site is broken in w3m, and displays nothing but a blank page. Rumor has it CSS is used. A look with ftp(1) shows JavaScript and some shouty caps.
I wrote a simple assistant for my blog that extracts the description of images from the Markdown source of a post, and embeds it as EXIF in the file. This way, when the blog post gets announced to Mastodon they should have ALT texts automatically populated.
There have been a number of phosts I have read about people getting ready for version 3 of solene's old computer challenge [1], which takes place from July 10th - 16th. I think want to play.
There is a Sun Sparc Ultra 10 in my garage that needs to be rebuilt. It was originally disassembled to be installed in a rackmounted server case since the original case wasn't in great shape. That rackmount case was repurposed for a different project and the parts have been sitting in a box the whole time. I still have the old case, which has turned an ugly, aging plastic color and is a little worse for wear. I think I want to use this machine for the challenge. I'll have to get'er goin' if I am to go the gettin' on July 10th. Hopefully it ain't b0rq'd.
