Got My Time at Portia a few days ago. It has soaked up all my free time since then. It often happens that I spend the holidays playing more video games than usual, and this year seems to be no exception.

Does anyone else start new projects by writing out a readme detailing how you want the tool to work? I think I've come to depend on this technique to help me clarify what exactly I want to build.

I like cooking without recipes. Tonight I decided to make a "fall-inspired" stir fry. Started with roasted butternut squash and improvised my way into a dish consisting of apples, chestnut mushrooms, kale, lentils, vegetable broth, butter, curry powder, cinnamon, "chicken-seasoned" seitan, and a bit of milk to keep things moist. I measured nothing.

Been stuck on my FoodBot project (now PyMeal) for a while. Have finally come unstuck after reading a couple detailed papers on the problem. Now the problem seems to be that I've been doing everything with shell scripts for so long that I've lost my intution about how to organize Python projects. 😬

Finally got access to my server back. Turns out OpenSSH 8.9 breaks the software that interfaces with my signing dongle. 🤦

Finally read William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. Glad to have read it, if only because I'd been meaning to for some time now. It certainly suffers from the "Seinfeld is unfunny" phenomenon common to most seminal works, unfortunately.

Feels good to resume my inventory project after a long hiatus. I've identified the bugs in sc-im as a friction point for myself, so I'm working to replace it in my workflow with a collection of shell scripts.

Working on paring back my possessions again and cataloguing that which I want to keep. Having a bit of scotch along with it for the first time in a long time. My hair's going gray and I'm becoming less ambitious, which is probably for the better. I have too many half-finished projects about. Found this gemsite today: gemini://d.moonfire.us/ The author's idea, picking a surname when starting a family, seems like a good one to me. I'd independently come to the same conclusion. Was nice seeing someone else had as well.

Finding myself trying to pay more attention to how much energy I'm using and when I'm using it. Trying to shift my more energy-intensive activities toward the daytime, when my solar panels are providing most of my electricity. It's proving an interesting exercise. I think I might start carrying a USB stick with media I might want and using that instead of my local NAS in the evenings...

Last night I watched "Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda." It's a documentary about a Japanese composer who, at the time, was battling throat cancer. It was a nice, calm, meandering film. I enjoyed it.

Been prioritizing buying fertilizer, so it took me a while, but I finally got enough coins to buy a synthesizer for my Astrobotany plant! gemini://astrobotany.mozz.us/app/visit/a76b6a12acf0444e8a8155c9a5984c5f

There are not many ideologies today, it seems, that encourage consuming less in order to reclaim more of one's free time for oneself. Yet I think this is a necessary plank in our transition to a greener future. I feel this could be helped along by encouraging simple, maximally inclusive communal activities. Much of our consumption today seems directed toward compensating for a loss of non-consumption-oriented community. I say this as one living in a relatively affluent Western country, granted.

Last night I referred to my own post on Station from about a month ago (linked below) to make another tempeh-and-rice concoction. Had to use honey because we were out of maple syrup. Still turned out alright. I think some ginger would've made it even better, though gemini://station.martinrue.com/lykso/82c7fc62e52a45d48331bf006ae4c370

I had a Raspberry Pi 4 I wasn't using, so last night I flashed LibreELEC to an SD card and set it up to connect to my backup box over Wireguard. Now I don't have to spin up my gaming box to watch things! Haven't plugged it into a Kill-a-watt yet, but I suspect the Pi is using 1/4 to 1/10 of the electricity my gaming box does. Also, no fan noise.

Sorry about the weird posts earlier! I was testing out a script for using Station on my e-ink Kindle and it had *appeared* to fail entirely. Guess it only failed partially.

I've written a post summarizing some of my thoughts lately, framing retro gaming as a counter-"Jevons' paradox" activity. I'm curious about what some of you might have to say about or add to it. gemini://lyk.so/gemlog/011-retro-gaming-against-jevons-paradox.gmi

After a period of low-energy, of the sort I'm learning to ride out by taking some time to relax and play games or read things (rather than trying to force myself into "productivity," which really never seems to work), I've spent today almost entirely productively. Wife has termed this "business mode." It's been nice.

I find my engagement with video content and text content is different. Video content "goes down" easier, but tends to not engage my thinking as deeply. Reading text *feels* more difficult, but I also feel like it forces me to consider every detail more thoroughly. I could easily spend all day consuming visual content, and I have in the past, but I find myself working to cut out that kind of content lately. I must be getting old. 😜

When I was a kid, Myst looked amazing. I never got a chance to play it, but I really wanted to. Now I'm on a resource-constrained laptop with ScummVM... seemed like a good time to finally give it a go. I'm stupidly excited about it. 😂

People with experience using screen readers: what is it like when people use Unicode superscript numbers¹ to create footnotes in their gemtext documents? Is it a better experience if they use parenthetical statements instead? What about using these footnotes to simulate inline links? ¹ Like this.

Continuing the "experiments with tempeh" phase I'm going through: just fried up a whole bunch of tempeh strips, and then my wife and I sat there and ate 'em with ketchup. This was not the plan when I *started* frying the tempeh, but I'm not sad about how it turned out. :D

Small annoyance in Lagrange: Shift-Ctrl-v clears the text box that pops up for "input" server responses. This is the same key combination that you use to paste in most terminal emulators. I keeping finding myself writing posts in Lagrange and trying to paste in a URL or emoji at the end, only to see all my text disappear. 😛
