  1. Kennt ihr diese #RabbitHoles von denen immer mal die Rede ist... 🫣? #MeshCore ist so eins.

    Schnell mal einen Heltec V4 als Repeater aufsetzen... mit 'nem kleinen Buck-Converter davor, damit das Ding an den 12V-Akku kann, der von einem Victron MPPT bedient wird.

  2. One of my favourite #feeds in my #RSS reader is #Wikipedia's "On this day..." #feed. It always includes something interesting to read and delivers several deep #rabbitholes per week. Highly recommended!

  3. Radio station 91.7 KXT played Mississippi John Hurt’s “definitive” version of “Stack O Lee” which has been re-made many times (with versions named “Stagger Lee”, “Stagolee”, etc.) and led me down a rabbit hole to the cosmic horror novella “My Heart Struck Sorrow” by John Hornor Jacobs and now apparently I must find a copy of “A Lush and Seething Hell.”

  5. The rabbit holes that I love to follow are often started by someone -a friend, a random post- suggesting something new. Or familiar. This is both.
    Enjoy!

    ps. This rabbit hole started when someone posted a video of Bonnie Rait and Richard Cantrememberhisname… this song has nothing to do with that song.

  6. When you have many #rabbitholes in your life, here is one that the #whittling community might enjoy: atlasobscura.com/articles/ches

    Maybe yet another project for me to carve a complete #chess set!

  7. Rabbit-Hole: TikTok – die mächtigste App der Welt (ARTE)

    Rabbit-Holes sind Tik-Tok, YouTube und die ARTE-Mediathek gleichermaßen. Während ich erst gestern dem Verweis einer sehr vertrauenswürdigen Quelle nachgegangen bin, bin ich auch gleich mitten hineingestürzt. Und dieses Mal konnte ich tatsächlich sehr viel lernen. Denn TikTok kannte ich vorher nur als Thema. Und auf eine eventuelle Nutzung kann ich nun wirklich auf alle Zeiten verzichten. (ARTE)

  8. So I found gemini:// through mastodon...does that make activitypub, or mastodon the gateway drug?
    In any case, TCP is the only 3-way I need.
    #audhd #rabbitholes #geminiprotocol #httpness <=C what I did there? :P

  9. @mmeier @stfn I should not have read through this… 😂 Now I am thinking about how to make use of ansible in my small little homelab #rabbitholes

  10. I mean, I could've used that 20 minutes to eat the dinner I just made while it was still hot.

    But suddenly it seemed like a great time to identify my silverware pattern, which I'd forgotten the name of since it was first bought for me in 2006 or since I purchased it again in... the mid-2010s I guess?

    (Cambridge Madison, which is now Lenox Madison, because Lenox bought Cambridge in 2022. Vital info 🙄)

    It is the plainest possible silverware.

  11. You might not subscribe to seasonal madness nor like pumpkin spice lattes, but #spooktober can be fun. At least with the #ologies #science #podcast .

    In the episode on #momiology , for example, you can learn fun words like decerebration and get to know what disgusting things (rich) victorians used to consume. Also: Is religion magic?

    enjoy a thousand new #rabbitholes

  12. And then I realized what I might be getting into for a …a product shoot, and I walked away from this idea:

  13. How often do you dive down rabbit holes?

    After reflecting on recent essays, I thought it would be useful to make a single webpage with literature on echo chambers & rabbit holes.

    Know of a useful paper on this topic that I should include? Let me know.

  14. The #Cryogen static website builder, which I like and use, requires embedded EDN-formatted metadata at the start of Markdown files. Standard WYSIWYG Markdown editors don't understand this.

    I want to get a group of non-geeks comfortable with using Cryogen.

    So, I thought, how hard could it be to clone an existing open source Markdown editor, add a metadata tab, and create a simple forms-based editor for EDN?

  15. Thanks, "Kindness is contagious" @qurlyjoe
    for the link to the latest philosophy doping scandal, existentialcomics.com

    From Philosohy Bro (re Karl Popper):
    philosophybro.com/archive/karl
    "Look, there’s been a lot of controversy lately about what is and isn’t “good philosophy” and what we can and can’t say, and opinions on that are like assholes - everyone’s got one, and no one knows what to do about Wittgenstein’s."

  16. Bought a used copy of Chekov's plays from 1935. Looked up the name written on the original book plate and found her marriage certificate.

  17. But the good thing about #RabbitHoles are they lead you to new places. I started listening to #LuzmilaCarpio as I reviewed her discography, and I kept listening even after I thought it might be a dead end.

    Her recordings are often very simple, with just an acoustic guitar, some percussion, and some other harp/stringed instrument. She sings with a very distinctive voice and is often accompanied by several other singers.

    It was while listening to a self-titled release this morning that the tune of "Mariposita" floated up to my ears --- is this it, I thought?

    I listened closer --- yes! The tune is from Carpio, indeed, but under a different name, "Pilpintu," which you can hear here:

  18. I poked around a few other search results for "Mariposita" on different platforms but had no luck.

    So I went back to the credits to the Elhajli album on Bandcamp --- which are not present on the front page of the album, but songwriting credits are given on individual tracks.

    That's when I noticed a name, #LuzmilaCarpio. Carpio is an artist whose work also catalogs and represents Quechuan traditions and language -- cool, so I'll look her up.

    But as I looked through the tracklists for different albums I could find from Carpio, I didn't see the name "Mariposita" anywhere --- bummer, especially considering she's released a lot of albums.

    So the search was still on...

  19. Have been transfixed for the last week by a song played by Miriam Elhajli on her album *Brand New Mexican* -- the song is called "Mariposita." It is based around a very simple refrain, sung here with two vocal lines and two guitars.

    miriamelhajli.bandcamp.com/tra

    Elhajli plays some traditional/folk tunes, many from Latin American lines, and I wondered if it was a cover or interpretation of another tune. So I went a-lookin'...

  20. And one more in #rabbitholes for the week, I was reading about how extinct creatures are drawn/imagined in popular media and look what turns up! We have to probably imagine T-Rex with “lips” now: science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc
