I'm going to start using an @alisonwilder.net (my domain name) email address. I use Protonmail, and I'm not cancelling at the moment, but the current #proton kerfuffle makes me realize how dumb it is that I'm tying myself to anyone else's domain name, no matter what servers I'm using for my email.

But I'm feeling indecisive! Should I use:

If you start looking at the people behind this excellent article, there's plenty of support for the #fediverse, although the article itself focuses on the #bluesky AT protocol.

Curious to hear from coauthor @elipariser why the fedi isn't part of the conversation. My understanding is that bluesky is significantly larger - is it simply name recognition?

Dogs matching their environs

Apologies for the lack of alt text, the Mastodon app appears to be broken. The images show two small dogs, one brown and one black, nestled into blankets that match their coloring.

A quiet morning listening to Hildegaard von Bingen and reorganizing my Plex libraries/local server setup. Heaven.

Wow, I didn't know how bad the #DNC really is. As so many USians are, I'm trying to figure out how to act in the coming months and years, and this information is pretty crucial in imagining what might or might not be possible.

I was pretty much out of commission physically with back problems for a couple of weeks. My back is back, huzzah, but my world is a MESS y'all. I gotta get my business straightened up.

I've been so enjoying my new #Debian music studio install that I decided to switch my little lappy over today. That computer is a 6-yr-old Lenovo Yoga 9 w/ 16GB of RAM.

[#]Windows 11 at idle was using 92% of my RAM!!!!!

Debian 12 uses 5% of my RAM.

That's...a much lower number. The lesson? Install the holy fuck out of Debian, kiddos.

Bonus: touchscreen, wifi, bluetooth, and audio all worked immediately, right out of the box.

I finally got Daria in my Plex library. I LOVED that show in high school. So great to see it again after all these years.

Apropos of this fun thread, I made some vibey electronic music with a touch o' vocals tonight.

First jam using the EWI with the new Erica Synths Steampipe, which is UNREAL. I can't wait to get things really dialed in, the combo is unbeatable.

Multi-track recording done on MY NEW LINUX SYSTEM BITCHES, 32 I/O, can you believe that shit???!!!

Serious question: would you still love your favorite songs if they were just, like, a single verse repeated three times in a row?
