Two silkworms had a race.
They ended up in a tie. -
The biggest issue I have when I do digital support for anyone is that they DON'T READ their messages - they blindly bumble through their emails clicking all the links. #groan #talesfromtechsupport

Do me a favour. If you have to include someone in emails you send. Don't start having purile chit chat that fills up that individual's inbox with your verbal diarrhoea. #Groan

This is a beautiful bit of prose talking a bit about the state of Western cinematic art.
(from the description of Best of The Worst: Plinketto #12 by Red Letter Media (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGki5Lr_ISw).)
As the age of movies draws to a close, the boys at RLM are happy to have a very large collection of trash films that have been produced and released in the decades past. Films made by weird independent studios, cheapskate con-artists, and legit insane people. Exploitation films, movies with confusing plots, weird filmmaker visions that make no sense, embarrassing performances, terrible films made for the sole purpose so a perverted old man can open-mouth kiss an uncomfortable and disgusted young woman, awful discount and often reused visual FX, and some of the world’s ugliest people. Needless to say, unless you’re Donald Farmer, they don’t make them like they used to. Films today are made by Studios, Netflix, Amazon, etc and undergo a rigorous procedural vetting process. Algorithm compliance, plot beats calculated by computers to maximum engagement statistical sever product farming, actors and actresses that are “comfortable” and “safe” on set (if there is a set). Committees of lawyers, writers, producers and input content analytical engineers who have MBA and degrees from MIT to computer calculate the ultimate streaming product that will provide maximum efficiency for the data and number crunchers to release and stream said products to shareholder satisfaction.
Thankfully, time has not eroded away our VHS and DVDs that showcase a magical time when artists took risks. Made a movie based on a singular weird idea that wasn’t tested before a focus group. These movies are real, raw, and disturbing, but often magical. When we pop a tape in or a DVD we never really know what’s going to happen. I’m glad you are all here to join us on this seemingly never-ending adventure into 1s and 0s and magnetic tape stock to discover what humans have created before the dark times. Before the Empire.
Also Rich Evans is now wearing a toupee. Now THAT’S embarrassing.

I'm currently listening to:
𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲
A story of how money, vested interests and digital skulduggery are eroding trust in democracy.While it was interesting and, I suppose, inciteful to start with, I've started to get bored shitless with it. I'm not sure if it's the narrator's Irish accent or the fact that the author sees conspiracies at every turn of the page, but it's becoming very dull.
#Opendemocracy gets a few mentions. I've still got 4hrs 42mins to go. #Groan

Set up notifications in #omv (Openmediavault) fail to get it working last night.
Read this guide https://docs.openmediavault.org/en/latest/administration/general/notifications.html and then every security system in the universe starts emailing you!"Did you allow this?"
"Was this you?"
"Did you log in?"
"You logged in from a web browser!"
"Failed!"
and thirty seven thousand "Update" notifications (OK, slight exaggeration.)Let's see how long I keep notifications enabled. #Groan

For some reason, I'm subbed to South Australia's CFS reports (I deliberately subbed, but I'm still not sure why).
Today brought news of a disaster...
"PRECOLUMB ROAD, ONE TREE HILL (Tree Down)"
I guess it's just "Hill", now...

I don't know why the fediverse or Mastodon specifically I guess, eschewed quoting instead of just implementing "unsubscribe" really well.
There are so many of the posts I don't respond to because, I don't want to mention the original poster by replying to them. And quoting doesn't really do justice.
And a lot of pople still quote post, it's just annoying that I need to click the link and navigate to another instance's page to see the context.

Ok if you read this far, I am sure you would like to know how long that piece of wire was. My tape measure shows it as 497 cm. Bit short for 40m but some of my tuners had the extra picofarads necessary I suppose. Ok folks that’s it thanks for “tuning” in ;) #groan 8/8
