My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the β€œB.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel. #GearHunter #MusicProduction #Analog #ReelToReel #Tascam #TEAC
My TEAC 32-2B reel-to-reel tape deck back from repairs in Vancouver. Also complete with warning about using shitty tapes (ie older ones) that will clog up the tape heads very quickly.

Well, it depends on what you mean by 2D--like--YES, I can imagine that I would generally be drawn in an instinctual and even conscious, PURPOSED, manner to the archtype of bewb, even mommyism. And that's like, okay, fair enough.

Now do I like them flat? Well, I mean, I certainly like them pressed. Is that 2D? Perhaps you mean more specifically do I like them drawn? Well, are they not masterpieces--how would you say?--drawn flat, as in moving in one direction?--and by that I mean in Time. You see? Even 3D bewbs are then, you could say, pressed ALWAYS in a certain dimension.

And just as flat and unreachable! The memory image one can conjure of the 3D mommy milkers one has witnessed or is currently witnessing--beholding!--that very second are as drawn as the 2D Fern Funbags. It's truly, truly remarkable the... the lack of clear distinction.

There are identity dimensions and there is history surrounding us all. Now our collective moral compass guides us to show respect and grief for the groups history's dictators belittle and murder. It's a show of goodwill for all humanity to show remorse for our history's mistakes, and decisiveness about the groups which we choose to pay the most attention and respect now. It's an act of solidarity and the least we can do to mourn those immeasurable losses and heal our most hurt family members.

I remember working with colleagues who regarded syntax highlighting as a cognitive crutch to be discouraged.

I'll admit I never fully bought into it -- color schemes are fun! -- but I did try shutting it off for good while. I can't help thinking about how one arrives at such views, and what I might learn from them.

The principle I took from it (intended or not): highlighting desensitizes your eye and encourages skimming over code, jumping from symbol to symbol, rather than really seeing and studying it more deeply and carefully. If code is too noisy in plain monochromatic text, it can probably be made simpler, more concise.

I think about that principle a lot these days.

Time to add Nike to the list of companies to boycott.

A company that terminates a business contract because of someone’s view on Palestine isn’t a company.

It’s a cesspit that condones genocide, ostracizes those who don’t support it as well, and doesn’t deserve to stay in business.

EU weighs downgrading ties with Israel

EU leaders are considering possible repercussions for #Israel in response to the situation in #Gaza, with a new review likely finding it falls short of human rights obligations. A broad coalition of 17 EU member countries, led by the Netherlands, pushed for the review β€” which will be presented at a meeting of foreign affairs ministers on June 23.

Diplomats are pushing for action, and the European Commission may be called upon to downgrade ties, particularly in trade areas, if violations are substantiated. While fully ending the Association Agreement faces hurdles, the Council aims to explore options requiring only a qualified majority.

The European External Action Service is actively assessing Israel's compliance with international law.

Small NAS home server woes

So, I currently have a Netgear ReadyNAS 314 with 1 SSD, 3 HDDs, Intel Atom D2701 and 4GB RAM, running Debian 12, and since getting it I've been getting more into self hosting. What I have now is primarily too weak in the CPU and RAM department, but it could also use more HDDs. I'm aiming for 5-6 3.5 HDDs, 1 Nvme, 1 2.5" SSD.

What I'm currently running:
* Samba and NFS server

  • OpenVPN
  • Jellyseerr/Jellyfin/*arr stack
  • Pangolin
  • Dawarich
  • Immich
  • rsnapshot
  • Homepage

And it's rather sluggish right now, and is almost filling up its 4GB of swap.

What I'd also like to be able to run/have:

  • Nextcloud
  • Transcoding (including ability to decode AV1, but preferably also encode)
  • Anything else I may want to run (working on degoogling myself)
  • ECC RAM (to prevent bitrot, I'm already running btrfs raid1 to prevent bitrot from faulty disks)
  • 1x 2.5G ethernet

If possible I'd like to have some room for upgradeability. I'm aiming for a low power build, that should be rather compact, especially not very wide unless I can find a better place in my office for it.

I'm looking at a Jonsbo N1 chassis (17cm wide) , but I'm also following a Readynas 626 (19cm wide) in an online auction. Options:

Intel N100 board

Pros: cheap, low power, quicksync with av1 decode

Cons: boards with 2.5G ethernet have to be ordered from Aliexpress and have no support and uses the JMB585 chip that prevents low power C states, limited pcie lanes, no AV1 encode, not very upgradeable (1 DIMM, soldered CPU) , no ECC, I worry it may be too slow

Intel 13100

Pros: AV1 enc/dec, quite fast, upgradeable

Cons: No ECC, relatively expensive

AMD 8500G

Pros: AV1 enc/dec, ECC, relatively fast, upgradeable

Cons: relatively expensive, not as low power as the 13100

Readynas 626

Pros: enterprise grade HW, less DIY, ECC, may be relatively cheap

Cons: high power for its performance (roughly that of the N100), wider (19cm) than a Jonsbo N1 (17cm), not upgradeable (no CPU or mobo swap), expensive DDR4 2133 ECC UDIMM

I'd love to hear what you think about these options and whether you have other concerns that I haven't thought about.

So, anyone uses controllers on PC? What controller do you guys use?

I'm asking for both Windows and Linux, by the way.
When I did use controllers, I used PS3 ones and I had to go through all the hoops for them to work on Windows, I kind of lost that Windows installation like 3 installations ago and obviously the bluetooth dongle doesn't work anymore, so I stopped using a controller ages ago.
I was thinking of getting some because I'm kind of getting impatient, I can't really learn action games anymore on Keyboard, which is normal, I mean, you get used to it, but it's also true controllers have it easier.

Captured with the Phase One IQ4-150 Achromatic back and the Rodenstock 138mm/6.5 HR Digaron-SW lens, which, unusually for large format lenses, employs a floating element integrated into the focusing helical.

This view is literally a construction site (to become the new JP Morgan building), but abstract at the same time. We see the new skyscraper, and the buildings in the background, essentially as a Mondrian-esq deconstructed tangle of lines and rectangles.

Down to 17% body fat now, according to the body fat calculator.

Did 3 sets of handstand today. 3+2+3
I don't think mine are perfect in any way but it is going in the right direction.

Somehow I am doing mostly Calisthenics now. Because I had cut back on push ups and I felt it as if I was regressing. So I am doing push ups daily again. And adding some chin ups and now handstands.

Was already restricted to body weight squats due to some older Disc herniation and problems with my knees.

Perhaps when I can do, lets say 10 of those handstand that I will be able to walk or such.

I pretty much mastered the balance to stand still. But walking, not even close.

I really think I was just too weak in my shoulders.
Measuring my strength now. I am still behind in shoulders and ahead in back strength and biceps. Am slowly geting more balanced. As if the body really want to.

Or it could just be newbie gains in my weakest, lesser developed muscles.

Nextcloud in 2025: How 25 Million Users Escaped Big Tech’s Data Prison


Nextcloud logo featuring three connected circles above the word "Nextcloud," set against a gradient blue background.
β€œNextcloud powers 400,000+ servers worldwide, giving organizations like the German federal government complete control over their data while escaping Big Tech surveillance. Discover why millions choose open-source collaboration over Microsoft and Google’s data-mining platforms.”

β€œToday, ITZBund operates Nextcloud for 300,000 employees across the German federal government. The French Ministry of Interior runs it for their 300,000 staff. Schleswig-Holstein deploys it across 25,000 systems. Swedish federal agencies, Dutch ministries, universities across Europe, hospitals, law firms, and millions of home users rely on Nextcloud for file storage, video conferencing, document collaboration, email, calendars, and now AI assistance. These organizations discovered they could have enterprise-grade collaboration tools while maintaining complete control over every byte of their data. No surveillance capitalism. No vendor lock-in. No data held hostage in Silicon Valley.”

NextCloud actually has way more functionality inside it than MS Office will ever have. But the real point is you have ownership and control over your services as well as your data.

But what about AI? For better or worse, AI now comes in a lot of applications. Nextcloud Assistant 3.0 also brings AI agency features to everyone, and not just those who pay for OpenAI. It is supposedly more than just chatbot functionality.

It’s true too though that apart from data sovereignty and cost savings of around 50-80% you will also miss out on Microsoft license audits, and surprise price hikes (remember Microsoft moving from per CPU licensing to per core licensing).
