Pepper jelly! Who knew you could make such a thing!
I’m trying to learn about the old folk ways like #canning and making jams and jellies. I took a class at the local botanical garden and learned you can make a jelly with jalapeños. 😮😋
Next project: champagne jelly…

“They’re not responding to a lack of an operator. They created a lack of an operator,” Reyes said. “You can’t say, ‘I set my entire house on fire, & now because my entire house is on fire I get insurance proceeds.’ You’re the one who set the house on fire.” -- damn straight Ana, damn straight.

The admin has claimed it must close the property because of “safety” concerns, including a “deteriorating” seawall, & because National Links Trust, the course’s longtime operator, will cease managing East Potomac after Sunday [admin’s doing]. It has continued to insist that the closure is separate from #Trump’s plans for a drastically redesigned #GolfCourse on the peninsula.

US District Judge Ana C. Reyes, who is weighing #preservation groups’ emergency request to block the admin’s planned closure, did not rule from the bench after >5 hrs of argument, leaving the fate of the facility unresolved as the deadline approaches.
But Reyes repeatedly expressed skepticism about the admin’s stated “safety” & operational justifications for the shutdown, pressing #DOJ lawyers on why the #park had to urgently close & openly considering whether — & how — she could keep it open.
Judge Ana Reyes 💪👩⚖️⚖️💕
With <2 days before #EastPotomacGolfLinks is “scheduled” to close, a federal judge on Friday pointedly questioned the #Trump admin’s rationale for shuttering the historic #public course & surrounding #parkland, which Trump wants to turn into a “championship” 🙄 golf course.

The process of finding pristine disc images for Windows XP is so much easier than it is with older systems, because back in the 2000s, these ISO files were already widely distributed through the Internet and there are still loads of trustworthy sources with SHA-1 checksums and ISO downloads.

==== Sunday, November 22 2026 ====
all day starting 10:00 – #PDP-12 #hackathon
The PDP-12 is a laboratory computer introduced by #Digital Equipment Corporation (#DEC) in 1969. Only few dozen remain in existence today. Datorföreningen Update owns a PDP-12 called "Elsa", but it stopped working. You can read more about it in Update's newsletter Uptime 8 2023 (in Swedish).
https://wiki.dfupdate.se/_media/uptime:uptime-8-2023.pdf
In this hackathon, we will try to bring Elsa back to working condition. We will flip switches, read schematic diagrams, swap circuit boards, and observe signals. If this sounds intimidating, don't worry, we will learn from each other as we go. Everybody is welcome to participate, regardless of previous knowledge. Join us in this quest to bring Elsa back to live!
Drop in whenever you like. Food plans will be made spontaneously.
