I should setup a finger server. Just because I can. And so I can say “finger me” 👈 instead of a /now page.

I’ve been thinking

But the day ended before I wrote about what I was thinking.

Apple refurb’d Mac mini M4s came into stock. I thought about it for a while. But I don’t really want it. What I actually want to do is redo the server again and install immich. Migrate all my photos to that, and then sort them out - ie delete stuff that’s pointless. I don’t need to keep 200 photos of someone’s xth birthday.

Feels like I’ve been so busy I’ve not had time to write anything anywhere!

Plus playing Diablo 4 with my friends means the whole evening is already accounted for.

But I don’t mind.

Hoping to find a great deal on an e ink tablet. Because I’ll never use it, so don’t want to spend much. Looking on eBay but options are limited here.

Friend at work got a X100VI. Can’t say I don’t want one. Sell my Fuji X-E4 and lenses and get one? Probably would cost to do so. Not sure what the used price of X-E4 are but no doubt not much given the 5 is out.

It has IBIS and 40MP. Pretty much makes the 23mm f/2 usable in just about any conditions. Had the X100F for a long time and used it as my only camera. Shouldn’t have got rid of it, or should’ve went to the V. I’ll look up prices and see.

Although maybe I should just buy some rolls of film. A lot cheaper than a £1600 camera.

Pika seem to have fixed the issue with importing posts via micropub and image captions not being in the right place. I’ll try my script tonight and see if that’s the case. They were pretty quick about doing it, which is nice.

Bought Diablo 4 as it was in a very good sale and two of my friends got it. So we started playing together last night. Which is mostly chatting on Discord and repeatedly clicking the mouse.

Buying a used car is a hassle. Maybe I’m making things worse by wanting a very specific model, and also by living far away from the population centre. I thought I had to perfect one, then it was sold. Spent ages looking for others then that perfect one came back but then I noticed weird marks on the leather seats. Looked like mould but I think the lighting was just terrible, and so I should probably avoid it. Seems like every time I go to look I suddenly start looking at more expensive cars. Then once you go up, you never come back down.

Or I can just put it off and play D4. Except we’re on a countdown as the lease one is booked to go back.

I’m enjoying pika. Maybe the honeymoon phase but adding posts and writing up drafts that I’ve literally had for years.

It was similar when I signed up to micro.blog, however, using pika makes me realise how strangely organised mb is for images and even adding categories to posts. Also I always found images very slow to load on micro.blog, whereas they’re lightning fast on pika.

A funny aside is the work firewall blocks the pika cdn so pictures don’t appear on my posts. I’m fine with that as then people at work won’t look at it! I can still add stuff, and see the images when I’m writing the posts. Maybe because of different urls of pictures to my domain? Not really bothered.

Was also looking at the micropub API to post to pika, and how maybe there’s some system to transfer micro.blog posts to it programmatically. Or I just chip away at the past stuff manually…

I did wonder if I should take some of the past stuff and repost it as new. Rather than filling a back catalogue that no one will read, make it a new post, that no one will read. I’ll see, I’ve thought of about 6 posts I want to write anyway and just publishing one per day.
