Today on NovaLandia: mkultra.monster Now Acts as a Single-User ActivityPub Instance

It was wild, it was nuts, it was the most ambitious project ever! It was refined urani--er, I mean. The backend of this website is now running, and you read that correctly, running, ActivityPub. What the hell? What the heck? What do you MEAN this website is running ActivityPub? This ain't no Mastodon! I don't see a timeline! Where's Johnny 2 Fingers talkin' about Linux Mint?!

I guess it might be time to start self-hosting more services, so I thought about something simple: Miniflux as RSS aggregator. So far so happy 😀 #blogged https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2026/05/10/self-hosting-my-rss-aggregator/

Over the last couple of months I had to do a lot of number crunching in order to write some #designdocs. While writing such docs is always useful, I recently added a lot to the fun-dimension with #Jupyter and #DuckDB 😅 This might be useful to others, so here's a quick summary of my setup with a simple example: https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2026/05/03/simple-data-analysis-setup/ #blogged

I'm afraid I've #blogged again.

It's a new #OneSongOnePlaylist about Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love.

The post is about why this one was harder than usual to put together, how it ended up being a Christmas song despite not actually being one, and why it matters to me a bit more personally than most of these daft musical sorting exercises.

No Huey Lewis and The News. Absolutely no Jennifer Rush.

If you have an #AppleTV box, are you also still waiting for a new version and why? https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2026/03/29/still-waiting-for-a-new-apple-tv/ #blogged

I #blogged again! It's getting to be a regular habit these days.

I think I've reached the limits of GTD for me right now and am now using a mix of #BulletJournaling in #Kanban for personal projects. For work this has already worked well over the last couple of months 🙂 https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2026/03/15/bullet-journal-plus-kanban/ #blogged #productivity

I've had a Kaweco Piston AL Sport for a couple of months now and it's become somehow the favorite pen in my collection ❤️ https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2026/03/08/review-kaweco-piston-al-sport/ #blogged #fountainpens #stationery

On Friday I #Blogged about running #GitHubActions locally using #act, with a particular focus on #DotNet and #Azure.

I done #blogged again, you lucky lucky lot.

My #ShallowAFReview of Dust Bunny is up. Think Léon and Pan's Labyrinth blended with a "fistful of Grade-A nutter-bastard" & "Jim Henson-on-a-bad-acid-trip" monster effects.

A weird, violent, balls-to-the-wall belter. I gave it 5 Bunnies and a dead one out of 6. Full sweary takedown here.

I done #blogged and shit. Again.
I've stared into the brine once more. This time, it was Bartons. A journey into aggressive mediocrity and unwelcome 1980s buffet flashbacks. My soul needs a holiday. The full, harrowing account is now on the blog.

I don't know about you, but I find it fascination seeing what software other people use. I've just #blogged a list of some of the tools I use regularly. Other people's lists have helped me find new tools in the past.

I recently needed a decorator to turn a regular @pytestdotorg fixture into one which only executes once when run with #pytest-xdist. It took me a while to figure it out, but here it is:

https://www.katzien.de/en/posts/2025-11-11-run-fixture-only-once-in-pytest-with-xdist/

Usage:

```py
class Something(pydantic.BaseModel):
...
@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
@xdist_run_only_once(return_type=Something)
def something() -> Iterator[Something]:
yield Something(...)
```

I've #blogged again....

The people (well, two of them) demanded I review Garner's pickled onions. Who am I to deny my adoring/tolerating public?

I've done the hard work so you don't have to. Prepare yourselves for the latest, and arguably most crucial, chapter in my entirely unasked-for, pickle-based odyssey.

Full review is up. Try to contain your excitement.

I've once again #blogged. Sorry.

I have inexplicably dedicated another portion of my finite time on this planet to the serious business of eating pickled onions and writing about them. This time, it was two from The Funky Food Co. The results of this vital research are now available for your consumption. Or not. It's your life.

I done #blogged again....

Some are called to greatness; others have it thrust upon them. After an overwhelming groundswell of popular demand (from two people, to be precise), I had no choice but to take up the mantle and review the legendary Garner's Pickled Onions. It is a heavy burden, but one I bear for you, the people.
