Live Streaming a Macintosh Plus
Since recording a handful of C Programming on System 6 videos, I’ve occasionally wanted to live-stream the more casual daily programming being done on my Macintosh Plus. After getting all of the pieces together, I now have a working self-hosted broadcasting setup. ⌘ Read more

🤔 👋 Reconsidering moving Yarn.social’s development back to Github: Speaking of which (I do not forget); @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com and I were discussing over a video call two nights ago, as well as @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org who joined a bit later, about the the whole moved of all of my projects and their source code off of Github. Whilst some folks do understand and appreciate my utter disgust over what Microsoft and Copilot did by blatantly scraping open source software’s codebases without even so much as any attempt at attribution or respecting the licenes of many (if not all?) open source projects.

That being said however, @fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com makes a very good and valid argument for putting Yarn.social’s codebases, repositories and issues back on Github for reasons that make me “torn” over my own sense of morality and ethics.

But I can live with this as long as I continue to run and operate my new (yet to be off the ground) company “Self Hosted Pty Ltd” and where it operates it’s own code hosting, servicesa, tools, etc.

Plese comment here on your thoughts. Let us decide togetehr 🤗

We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced.

In-reply-to » @lyse LOL. Some days I feel like Forrest Gump, wanting to mow just for fun. Others is a chore. The other are way more frequent than the some. LOL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org
Not anymore 😭. I still have a self-propelled one, and electric, which is very nice. But when you live under an almost constant 32-35℃, with super high humidity, you cease liking working outside pretty quick.

The features that macOS Monterey will bring, albeit minor, will made for a better “quality of living”. I am looking forward to Notes, and the iCloud+ integration (Private Relay, Hide My Email). It also bring macOS cohesively close to iOS. My work 2015 iMac and M1 Mini will get it, so looking forward to it!

@adi@f.adi.onl Oh boy… we don’t want to go down that route. There is plenty to know about the Taliban, not just from the news but from people who lived—and still lives—under their “governance”; all of which is, I am afraid, much more accurate than your highschool girlfriend story telling.

not a big fan of retributive justice, but considering the fact that mosquitoe-borne diseases have killed half of all humans that have ever lived, we might consider exterminating the fuckers just because they deserve it.

The classical book reprinting site is live! LindyPress.net
For a while, I’ve hinted that I’ve been contributing to a project to reprint out-of-print classical and medieval texts that are of hidden value, sometimes even in their original languages. I’ve worked on this project for a while and now it’s live and you can browse the first five books available.

See the site at https://lindypress.net. All works have been reformatted in XeLaTeX so that … ⌘ Read more

Modern “Freedom” Means Being a Slave to Impulses

What does freedom mean?

See this article in video form here.

Which of the following two people is more free:

  1. A drug addict.
  2. A average man who is only not a drug addict because he lives in a country where drugs are regulated or shamed in a way to make them hard to obtain.

Most modern people will have a kind of cognitive disson … ⌘ Read more

Stay frosty: possible test stream on PeerTube and YouTube in a bit
I’m going to probably be doing a test livestream in a bit. Hopefully I fixed the issue in the previous stream with Pulseaudio and buffering.

I’ll probably go live on PeerTube first, test it there, then test it on YouTube. I’m mobile and on limit battery though, so it won’t be a super long stream if everything works out.

PeerTube stream will be at this link: [https://videos.lukesmith.xyz/vi … ⌘ Read more

Hedonism, Asceticism and the Hermetic Answer
The modern world more or less gives you the philosophical choice of either Hedonism or Asceticism.You never really hear it in those terms, but that’s how it is.

Hedonism living for pleasure. Your default lifestyle is eating whatever, watching Netflix and playing video games irrespective of how late it is.You watch porn, masturbate, have sex as much as you can and any consequences of any of this are just facts of life which you view a … ⌘ Read more

2x3: {lives in social/physical reality}×{views things generally as positive/zero/negative sum}. To be honest, I think there’s relatively few people in social positive sum reality frames.

@(frogorbits.com) “@niplav Seems like most of the (radical) life extension people are interested in adding years to their lives, but agnostic about adding life to their years. “Be old longer” doesn’t appeal to a lot of people.” -> I disagree, the people who i know that are interested in life extension look to me more engaged in life than the ones who are not (though that hinges on definitions of ”adding life to their years”). i agree that “adding life to your years” is underappreciated, though.

@adi@twtxt.net “I usually seen the opposite. Women are more interested in longevity and happy that studies show that they live more than men.” -> I probably could have been clearer: It seems to me that women are on average much less interested in life-extension (methods beyond usual health advice such as the old “exercise, eat vegetables”) than men. This might just be founder/sampling bias (life extension comes out of the relatively male dominated libertarian/techno-optimist cluster). Actually, maybe there’s just a variance thing here: median man cares less about his longevity than the median woman, but the variance for men is higher.

PeerTube v3 is now live with Live Streaming abilities
PeerTube has recently released version 3.0.0, which has added many things, including the ability to livestream. I’ve already updated by PeerTube instance to version 3 (it is linked from this RSS entry), but the link is just videos.lukesmith.xyz .

I’m not sure if I’ll end up immediately using the livestream ability, but it is certainly nice to have a non-YouTube option which is, in fact, self-hosted.

Aside from that, I strong recommend you … ⌘ Read more

The ‘paradox of tolerance’ is not a paradox, any moreso than “my car requires gas to run but if I drive too much I run out of gas” is a paradox. Abstract machines are still machines. Society is a machine for living in, & if you break it living gets harder.

Hot take: if you can ‘vote with your wallet’ that means you live in an aristocratic oligarchy, because some people inherit large numbers of extra votes & other people start out with negative votes.

A house is a machine for living in, & a haunted house (after Jackson) is a machine for dreaming in. Hill House is architectural LSD: it reflects psychic energy inward, causing people to haunt themselves.
