Dilation sessions last almost exactly as long as anime episodes, and I'm almost out of episodes. Give me your recommendations for anime and other "half hour" episodic content!
Other animus I've enjoyed:
- Pokémon Horizons (I'm just a Pokémon dork)
- Dragon Pilot (currently making my way through)
- Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (I love the intro, and I love the sharp turns between stupid humour and actual emotion)
- Way of the Househusband (maybe there's more episodes now?)
- Spy x Family (ditto?)
- BNA (Marxist propaganda, actually)
- Made in Abyss (favourite emotion: crying and throwing up at the same time)
- Rise of the Shield Hero (ditto.)
- Cowboy Bebop (like Firefly)
- Death Note (I too was once a teen who thought these characters were smart)
probably others I'm forgetting.
I like western stuff, too, but there just isn't that much of it anymore. I've watched all of:
- Daria
- MASH
- Bojack
- Tuca & Bertie
So yeah, based on all this, if anyone has 'half-hour' stuff to recommend me for while I'm sticking plastic rods up my cooch, I'd appreciate it!
I've given this a lot of thought.
With decades (and decades) under my belt, what is "fun" for me?
It ain't going to parties like it used to be.
Nor is it being the first car to go over the waterfalls in Disney's Pirates of Caribbean ride - that isn't it anymore, either.
I have concluded that laughing is what I find fun.
It's not easy to make me laugh, but when someone does, it is earned and appreciated.
Now, to be 5" taller.

From April 2027, every saver will have to hand their National Insurance (NI) number to their bank under new rules signed off by Rachel Reeves. It’s all part of a drive to make it easier for HMRC to work out who owes tax on savings interest, and to take it automatically.

The Chancellor has a lot of tax to collect, and doesn't want to miss a penny.Harvey Jones (Express.co.uk)
Under current rules, banks already report the interest you earn, but HMRC admits that as much as 20% of the data it gets is “unreadable”, meaning tax can’t always be collected.
That’s the loophole Reeves is closing. HMRC isn’t shy about it either, saying the changes will make it easier for people to “get their tax right first time” and help stop fraud “on behalf of the honest majority”.

In the process of fixing some issues with Sonatype Nexus's Yum repository indexing, I discovered that they silently moved Nexus from Open to Closed Source in a point release!
Since downgrading wasn't possible either, I made my first attempt at using Claude Code to write software that would extract all my Nexus packages and restore them onto the original open source version.

Stallman has openly said that networked services don't count as software and that nonfree software on routers, servers, and switches only affects the people running said devices.
You won the gamble this time, but looks like slop.
The only generated parts where the OpenGL/MpvRender context handling and I've heavily modified it/rewritten it. So that's my code you're calling slop asshole.
links to gitlab.
Where do you hose your free and non-proprietary code? You have anything up and published anywhere? or do you just complain a lot without writing any software?
Such weight/parameter mappings appears to work out as an undocumented form of lossy compression where the code is stored.
There's a whole field of research dedicated to how information or facts are stored in neural networks. "lossy compression" isn't a good analogy. Token relations are stored in a very high dimensional space. 3Blue1Brown does some great explanations of this. Not sure if using yt-dlp
goes against your ethos:
I refuse to run that, as arbitrary JavaScript execution is always proprietary software no matter the license, as I don't have control over the software.
Do you drive a car? Was it made after the 1970s? Does it have an ECM? Did you rewrite the software on the ECM? Maybe you only take trains. Is the software for the ticketing system or for the signal controls non-proprietary? Maybe you just bicycle. Did you make sure the CAD software used by all the component designers was non-proprietary? Have you ever flown on an airplane?
At this point, I can't see you as anything other than a troll. There's no way you could be this way in real life. You're obviously using the Internet and not a hermit in the woods. You're literally using dozens if not hundreds or proprietary routers and hardware to get and receive messages on the fediverse instance you use.

I trust #InternetArchive with government documents more than I do the government! (Or #AI for that matter...)
Internet Archive is now an official #USGovernment document #library
by Steve Dent
Fri, July 25, 2025
"The US Senate has granted the Internet Archive federal depository status, making it officially part of an 1,100-library network that gives the public access to government documents, #KQED reported. The designation was made official in a letter from California Senator Alex Padilla to the Government Publishing Office that oversees the network. 'The Archive's digital-first approach makes it the perfect fit for a modern #FederalDepositoryLibrary, expanding access to federal government publications amid an increasingly digital landscape,' he wrote.
"Established by Congress in 1813, the Federal Depository Library Program is designed to help the public access government records. Each congressional member can designate up to two libraries, which include government information like budgets, a code of federal regulations, presidential documents, economic reports and census data.
"With its new status, the Internet Archive will be gain improved access to government materials, founder Brewster Kahle said in a statement. 'By being part of the program itself, it just gets us closer to the source of where the materials are coming from, so that it’s more reliably delivered to the Internet Archive, to then be made available to the patrons of the Internet Archive or partner libraries.' The Archive could also help other #libraries move toward #DigitalPreservation, given its experience in that area.
"It's some good news for the site which has faced legal battles of late. It was sued by major #publishers over loans of #DigitalBooks during the #Coronavirus epidemic and was forced by a federal court in 2023 to remove more than half a million titles. And more recently, major music labels filed lawsuits over its #Great78Project that strove to preserve #78RPM records. If it loses that case it could owe more than $700 million damages and possibly be forced to shut down.
"The new designation likely won't aid its legal problems, but it does affirm the site's importance to the public. 'In October, the Internet Archive will hit a milestone of 1 trillion pages,' Kahle wrote. 'And that 1 trillion is not just a testament to what libraries are able to do, but actually the sharing that people and governments have to try and create an #EducatedPopulace.' "

‘We Will Not Leave Gaza City’: Palestinians Vow to Resist
After 22 months of war, approximately 1 million Palestinians, already displaced, living in tents or ruins, and suffering from hunger and lack of medical care, face another crisis as the Zionist regime’s security cabinet plans to seize control of Gaza City, forcing them to flee southward toward an uncertain future.
Umm Ibrahim Banat, a 55-year-old mother displaced four times from northern Gaza, expressed her fear and anxiety to The Guardian after hearing about the evacuation order for Gaza City, “Where will we go with the children and the elderly? I swear we are exhausted from displacement, starvation, and being driven from one place to another.”
“Now,” she said, “we are the walking dead.”
The regime approves plan to seize Gaza
Following a 10-hour overnight meeting on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that his security cabinet had approved a plan to seize control of Gaza City, further escalating the occupation’s war on Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of at least 61,000 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians.
Zionist Channel 12 reported that the plan, involving the deployment of ground troops into the territory, could displace tens of thousands of people, worsen the already strained aid delivery efforts, and push around 1 million Palestinians in Gaza City and surrounding areas toward evacuation zones in the southern part of the strip.
Heartbroken after losing her daughter’s entire family, Banat denounced Gaza’s unbearable conditions, the disease-ridden tent camps, undrinkable water, collapsed hospitals, and endless suffering, demanding to know what more could be taken from a people who’ve lost everything.
Already preparing to leave
Abu Nasser Mushtaha, a 35-year-old father of four from Gaza’s Rimal neighborhood, expressed his fear for his family’s safety, stating, “If we are ordered to evacuate, I will leave everything and go, fearing for my family and children. The cost of staying would be too high. I have already lost enough; my mother was killed at the beginning of the war when the Israeli occupation bombed a neighbouring house.”
Mushtaha revealed he had begun financial preparations to cut costs while planning to take only essential belongings, grimly predicting that this impending crisis would undoubtedly mark the final destruction of Gaza’s population.
With over 90% of Palestinians already displaced at least once during the war and nearly 10% suffering injuries from Zionist attacks, the population now faces even greater suffering as the decimated healthcare system collapses further and the regime blocks most aid agencies like the UN from delivering critical assistance.
Defiance despite desperation
Hossam al-Saqa, a 46-year-old father of two from Gaza City, told The Guardian he couldn’t comprehend how authorities expected to relocate Gaza’s entire population to the already overwhelmed south, declaring his family’s determination to remain on their land despite the mortal dangers, vowing he would stay even at gunpoint.
“I see Netanyahu’s and ‘Israels’ propaganda as nothing more than media fireworks meant to intimidate and spread fear among the people,” al-Saqa said, adding, “This will not scare us, for God is with us, and He is stronger than everyone.”
Al-Saqa, echoing sentiments widespread across Gaza City, interpreted the occupation plan as a coercive tactic to force Hamas into surrender following the collapse of last month’s US, Egyptian, and Qatari-mediated negotiations.
Ibrahim Abu al-Husni, a 47-year-old man who lost his 23-year-old son in the war, defiantly declared his attachment to his homeland, stating, “This is our land where we grew up since childhood, and we will not give it up easily. I will not leave this city.”
“I will live here, and I will die here,” he assertively stated.
Resistance factions respond
Palestinian factions condemn the “cabinet” plan to occupy Gaza and impose full “security control.”
Palestinian Islamic Jihad treated the decision as a complete escalation of genocide, fearing more massacres. They described it as “Nazi-style terror” and held Arab and Western governments, alongside the U.S., responsible for enabling escalation. They stated the occupation torpedoed all exchange talks and “those betting on a settlement got slapped.” They vowed to continue resistance.
The Mujahideen Movement stressed continuity, stating that this is the same ethnic cleansing war of the last ~2 years. They blamed full U.S. cover and global paralysis for the new plan. They also accuse the enemy of gambling with its own captives for Netanyahu’s personal agenda. They asserted that resistance weapons the people’s trust and called the Arab-Islamic street to mass mobilization.
Popular Resistance Committees casted the plan as proof of the enemy’s political and battlefield failure. They issued a sharp red line: any foreign force stepping into Gaza will be treated as an occupying enemy. They affirmed that “the day after” is decided by Palestinians themselves and insisted that captives can only be freed through negotiations, as the army has already failed. Directed towards the Palestinian Authority, they urged them to end reliance on the U.S./‘international legitimacy,’ end division, and unite. They also called the region to general mobilization and to besiege U.S/zionist/Western embassies.
Hamas focused on Gaza City. They called the plans to occupy it and evacuate 1 million residents a war crime. They highlighted the linguistic gymnastics between “control” vs. “occupation” as a tacit admission of Geneva convention violations. Hamas stated that this move sacrifices the enemy’s captives and explains the occupation’s sudden walkout from near-final talks. Hamas showed real flexibility, even openness to a comprehensive all-for-all exchange that ends the war and lifts the siege. They blamed the U.S. for cover and arms and urged UN/ICJ/ICC to act. They warned any further invasion would be met with resistance.
While the combined factions released this statement:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Regarding the leaked information circulating about the enemy government’s intention to decide on the full occupation of the Gaza Strip, and the statements of the criminal Netanyahu regarding imposing military control over the Strip, we, the resistance factions, affirm the following:
First: These statements and leaks reveal the enemy’s political and field impotence, after two years of dismal failure in achieving its goals, despite committing massacres and crimes and relying on unlimited support from global colonial powers.
Second: The threat of a full military occupation of Gaza is a declaration of genocidal intentions and a desperate attempt to subjugate our people and their resistance. These intentions will not pass without a heavy price, and the field will be the decider, as it always has been.
Third: Gaza is not a vacant geographical area looking for someone to fill it; rather, it is a land saturated with the blood of martyrs and the strength of mujahideen. Any attempt at direct occupation will be a new quagmire that burns whoever penetrates it, and the resistance will enter a phase of more severe and painful confrontation for this enemy.
Fourth: Netanyahu is trying to cover up his political and military defeat by marketing illusions of control. We tell him clearly: Gaza will not be managed from Tel Aviv, nor from any foreign capital, but by the will of its resisting people.
Fifth: The Palestinian resistance, with all its factions, is united in the field of confrontation, and any occupation decision will send it back from where it came, defeated and broken, as always. The enemy is deluded if it thinks it will free its prisoners from the grip of the resistance by military force. We affirm that its prisoners will only be released through negotiations and at heavy prices.
“And those who have wronged are going to know to what kind of return they will be returned.”
Palestinian Resistance Factions.

I have been using Nicotine+ on the Soulseek network to locate some hard-to-find media like movies from the 30s and 40s. I find the content there often leans more towards music and sounds rather than movies and TV, but it does still function. Depending on what you are looking for it might work out well for ya. I do run in to the occasional wanker, but you're going to find that on any P2P network right?
Side note: I believe some folks have a script or addon that auto-checks your library when you download off them, and blocks you if you have "too small" a share list. In other words, a purely leech based approach may not work well.
