New Post: Video Guides
Video guides and tutorials are great for getting a quick overview of a process, but they're hard to go back to for reference.

Fun fact: when Sergei Rachmaninoff set this painting to music in his "Isle of the Dead" he was inspired by the black-and-white version. When he finally saw the color version he was much less impressed.
I had to think about it again
how crazy the world seems to me
and how not a day goes by
that I don't have to ask myself inevitably
where it will all end
Then I thought of one of my poems
Written long before these crazy days
This poem is a poem of sadness and despair
but also of resistance
Hand in hand
against storms and immense forces
Thus is won
Despair is counteracted
Always hand in hand
Always peaceful
Возможно, вы грустите из-за того, что lor.sh закрывается.
Но вообще, у этого есть и плюсы.
Например, некоторые его обитатели побежали искать себе варианты для селфхоста. Естественно, как это обычно бывает, незамутнённый взгляд под непривычным углом быстро находит проблемы.
Поэтому, например, @rayslava вон скоро будет чинить плагин для Emacs под Mitra, а мы с @iliazeus уже нашли несколько проблем в GoToSocial и одном веб-клиенте для него и Mastodon.
Так что может lor.sh летом и закроется, но тем самым даст некоторый толчок нашей федеративной экосистеме стать лучше.
Так что налейте мне полстакана да выпьем за лорш и людей, которые там собрались
I feel like alot of the despair I feel as an aspiring artist is from the disharmony between the statement of intent, "I want to make art", when really the true feeling is "I want to have had made art".
It's not that I might "trust the process", it's "the art is the process". Or "the map is not the territory" vis à vis "the artifact is not the art".
Hard not to be cynical when stupidity is so cyclical.
I told my wife that my understanding of Zen is that it's basically just realizing you're one with the universe. She suggested that it's like _The Secret_, that when you're enlightened you can manifest things with your mind.
I replied that it's actually the opposite. The secret is an extreme form of "grasping". That if you try and try and believe hard enough, you can make something happen. Zen is like, everything is going to happen or not happen, that's it.
I'd like to tell you
What I really think
And in my mind
What lives.
Flows the water
Of the river restless
And on the bank
I sit counting the drops
Like tears pouring.
And whisper I
Your name.
Because you are
The inhabitant
Of the land
That I call
My own heart.

Very disappointing is
Of the people the change
In behavior and manners
Just because of
Their envy.
Very disappointing...
Expecially when
You believe
And empathetic and good-hearted
Someone is.
A possible friendship fails
Talking about the void.
Nevertheless,
The Sun will shine
Every day.
