Today's listen[3], especially at `1:56:35` onwards. This one will keep me entertained for weeks, I like music(?) like this A LOT.

Biked A LOT. Read about genetic programming on a bench outside.

Planned hike did not go well. Two hours in it started raining with thunder. I did NOT have ANY rain protection, but decided to go further with the hope it's going to stop. It did not. Deeper in the forest I started hearing frequent gunshots. Guess it's a hunting season. Because I really do NOT want to get shot by accident, I decided to call it a day and turned back home. Until next time.

Potted nine stratified apple seedlings. Replanted peace lilly, I think the old soil had too much salts, hope it gets better soon...

I do not feel good about myself today.

0626

Another late night bike ride, now through the city as well, crossing two bridges and back. Lots of small parties at the shores next to one of the bridges.

0625

Took a bike ride all the way to the city at 1-2AM. Fun!

Vaxxed, first shot. Second in a few weeks, hopefully.

Soon no more `youtubedr` constantly being broken: nvi[11]. It downloads using Invidious public servers, and is written in C (unline `youtubedr`, which is Go). Test, enjoy and report any bugs of feature requests.

npe[12] got a bit more stuff.

Fixed uxn[13] to build and run on 9front again: npe[14] update is required.

Also I am a bit lonely and bored to death today. Maybe that's why I've written this much code with +30C outside.

0619

Outdoors all day long: on a lake in a forest with barely any people several km around. I tanned quite a lot. And got a lot of mosquito bites on my way back through the forest. It was a much needed "get out" day, though, in +30C.

And I built a nice structure from stones gathered around. They were all big and heavy, by the way.

Can't even remember.

Added my mashed potato recipe[15].

If Pixelfed allowed to edit ANYTHING after I post, it would be nice. I always forget to add a description and stuff.

Updated FastTracker 2 Plan 9 port[16] from upstream. Required a few small changes to npe[17].

I got tired of `youtubdr` constantly breaking and decided to start on a native Youtube downloader for Plan 9, using Invidious API:

; ./6.out bdtTy_kAEyA
title	9front screencast Drawterm into 9front and watch youtube
description	Finally I can watch youtube on 9front using treason.
	Note that the reason it seems a bit sluggish is because the
	connection is via drawterm.

I'll put it out on Sourcehut as soon as it can download.

Probably will add support for Peertube as well, should be easy.

Sizing paper.

Created a channel[18] for my videos related to analog photography. Not sure exactly how much I am going to be uploading there (since it's about still photography) but oh well. Felt like it!

Pictures are still going to go to my Pixelfed and Instagram.

Processed two of the rolls from the photoshoot after trying semi-stand development with 510-pyro developer[19], which I mixed myself more than five years ago. It worked well[20] and I went immediately onto other rolls. One b/w roll to go. Slide film will have to go to a lab for processing, I don't have the chemistry nor the necessary equipment at home.

After the shots are done I will make contact prints (cyanotypes, because I like them a lot and have my own DIY UV printer[21]).

A street photoshoot with a few friends. I used analog: Mamiyaflex C2 (~1960) TLR with 50mm lens (wide angle) and all kinds of b/w film. Shot one slide roll as well. That resulted in 48 shots which I need to process.

0608-0612

Mostly no computers, really. Was outdoors a lot - walking, biking, grilling, etc. Also found a person I like talking to a lot, will see where it leads.

0607

Listen of today[22].

Getting more into makeup. Didn't have an eyeliner so used a pencil instead, but it turned out pretty good anyway. Some mascara, red lipstick and brow pencil in addition. Going to wear more makeup from now on, I like it.

0606

No computers. Just chilling.

0605

No computers. Going to be dancing outdoors all night today!

That was nice. Despite not all night.

0604

After >2 years break I'm going to try this dating (men and others) thing again. I expect absolutely nothing.

Enabled two more voices in flite port[23] and fixed a bug that caused it to exit randomly.

0603

Text to speech for Plan 9, flite port[24], is working now. Just one voice, going to enable more things later.

A bit of work on pdffs[25]: additional deps installation and conversion of images to Plan 9 format. Few other issues fixed.
