I didn't know about Beeper when I set up my Matrix Synapse server... but I'm still very glad I did it.

Unfortunately it's unlikely that Bsky stays good. Who knows when, but at some point greed leads to bad decisions. It doesn't have the built-in protections of Mastodon.
I wrote about ditching Trakt last year, and how things are going on Yamtrack (much better thank you).
Just a delight to chat with my best pal in the whole wide world, Meta support <3

@ironicbadger@techhub.social It's the primary thing that helped me get into self hosting in the first place, so I'm quite grateful for that. I probably won't stick with it forever, but it's doing a reliable job and I'm not hurrying anywhere else.
This year I'm very excited to be directing a play with a great company in a beautiful theatre. A modern existential horror, no less.
Here's the magical poster with graphic design by Bonnie McAllister.

It's a pity so many are still hung up on the messy ending of Game of Thrones.
They're missing out on two excellent seasons of House of the Dragon and four really really really brilliant episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Some of the world's finest TV-makers doing their thing here.

This is absolute insanity.
If it's all over, this is surely one of the biggest game crash-outs of all time.

Why stop there?
- [x] started selfhosting old podcasts on castopod
- [x] set up filebrowser quantum for remote file access
- [x] deduplicated a bunch of photos on immich
Yes there are more important things I'm supposed to be doing.
My YouTube channel is very much in its awkward teens, full of dreams but unsure about everything.
Just realised Instagram has an AI translation feature which was automatically dubbing Spanish vlogs into English AND even changing the way the person's mouth moved so that it matched the dub. It took me ages to clock it wasn't real.
Thanks I hate it!
Better late than never, here are my favourite 25 soundtracks from 2025.

Thankfully THE DRAMA is still really good even if it's been spoiled for you.
And as a bonus, getting spoiled by Facebook's feed might be the thing that finally gets me to stop browsing that loathsome website.
It's surreal to have a voice as familiar to me as Bertie Carvel's become such public property with the popularity of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
The intimacy of hearing him voice my Imperial Agent over hundreds of hours of decision making in Star Wars: The Old Republic is profound. His voice became mine.
And I see he'll be Fudge in the new Harry Potter. Glad to have to share him with the wider world.
To my surprise, Wonder Man's depiction of "yearning for Hollywood" outdoes both The Studio and The Franchise.
Plenty of similarities between these three recent shows, but Wonder Man has the biggest heart.
