#unpleasant — Public Fediverse posts

✮ Blinker ✮

We spend so much time blinking and looking away,
we blink so much that we don’t realize our fuse is alight.
A turn of the dial,
into another scene,
never rooted in the moment,
as transient as everything mortal.
We blink, to erase the unpleasant,
we blink, to jump forward,
coil our bodies around rest,
wrap paychecks inside our hands,
so, we can blink a little more.
We skip and jump out of the day,
when tomorrow is worse than today,
we blink it away,
as if we have unlimited blinks,
and soon enough we’ll hit a wall
and wish we could have kept our eyes open
more frequently.

Here today; gone tomorrow, never take anything for granted.

When complaining about long walks, someone is dreaming of having such luxury. Walks that people take for granted mean everything to someone else who is bound by a condition that prevents them from doing so. They could be bedridden; they could be hiding in fear in a war zone; they could be impeded by physical conditions that limit them.

You complain about tidying up. It’s because you have a home. You stress out over traffic. It’s because you have a car. You can’t deal with the noise. You have a family. Someone out there wants what you have but can only dream of it.

When frowning in dissatisfaction over a prepared meal, think about that person who took time and poured every ounce of their heart, hoping to bring you happiness. Think.

Be grateful that you are in school; not everyone is afforded such an opportunity. Not as a promise to secure a job, but to learn. Bitterness often comes from discounting what people already have. Contentment, as they say, is the key to happiness. Dream, but be forgiving. If it’s yours, it will come to fruition. If not, steady your heart and live with what you have.

Never neglect people or things that add, give, and bring value to your life. Blessed are those who can’t count how many people they love with their fingers. If you do, you’re already rich. Hurray! You will have someone to turn to.

At the end of the day, when all that you take for granted is gone, what will be left of you?

Squeals of horror over #PriceCaps – but how are we going to fix our broken #food system?

The news that the Treasury was asking #UK #supermarkets to cap price rises on #essential foods was greeted with predictable squeals of horror this week. Supermarkets were reportedly “furious”

A quick visit to #NT Dyffryn Gardens this afternoon.

We found this peculiar #orchid called Bulbophyllym rothschildianum
With #fimbriated petals and the most #horrid and #unpleasant smell.

Elsewhere, were an amazing selction of #pumpkins and #squash.

Strings of dried chillies made for a #festive touch.

A Bluesky Flame and the Case for Anonymity

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In the golden age of social media I went from tweeting with a pseudonym to tweeting with my own name. This was as true on Twitter as on Facebook. There was a sense of community that meant that we were safe to use our own names, rather than nicknames.

That age ended in 2020 when normal people, isolated by lockdowns, became familiar with Twitter and other social networks. In 2020 I was flamed more than once on Twitter, and eventually became private, after using a pseudonym. I was also flamed more than once on Mastodon instances and dumped them too.

Yesterday I was flamed on Bluesky and I looked to see if I could delete the troll but couldn't so I blocked one account, and a second, and a third, and then I pressed the big red button metaphorically and deactivated my account.

Someone had posted that they were crying regularly so I suggested CBT, not as a troll but because it's a technique I use on myself. I also clarified that as I don't know the person I can't offer personal advice. I did nothing wrong.

Although I don't like Threads because of who it is owned by when people ask for help with something, and I offer advice and help they actually thank me. They are not so complexed that they start a flame war against me.

By now flame wars are part and parcel of social media so I don't worry about being flamed. I worry about being flamed under my actual name. My fear, yesterday, was related to the reputation damage that these trolls could do.If they misread what I wrote, and what I meant, and defame me in their comments, then there is little to nothing I can do, except deactivate the account for a few days, or even a few weeks.

I have two main accounts on the Fediverse, one as myself, and one as a nickname. I try to post via the nickname so that if I am flamed, it only affects that account, not my identity.

And Finally

Social media is no longer fun. It stopped being fun years ago.

#Pleasant, e.g., spending time with a loved one translates into moving towards that experience and person. #Unpleasant, e.g., fear from a passing car, translates into us moving away from the car and experience.
In that sense, human beings are like amoeba, single-celled organisms that optimize their existence by moving towards pleasant and away from unpleasant states. The joy of being #human is that we have more #complexity layered onto this basic process. 🧠🔄

A Cold Walk

Yesterday I went out for my daily walk but within minutes I noticed that my legs felt cold and that I really did need the scarf that I wore. It’s exceptional for me to wear a scarf. My fleece and my inner coat both have neck protection built in so I usually feel fine. Yesterday was unusually cold so I was happy to add the scarf to really keep my neck warmer. I removed it for a few minutes because it felt itchy but I soon put it back on.

PhotoPrism is Still Indexing

In the meantime PhotoPrism has been chugging away, indexing tens of thousands of files and adding location information as well as other metadata. It has indexed 60,000 files of which 20,000 are videos. Most of the video files are junk though, stuff I saved that has no personal value. I’m marking the video files as private and I will probably delete them as they take teraybtes of space without having much value.

Migrating to a Linux Machine

I also experimented with migrating my blog writing from this mac to a Linux machine. I managed to gh clone the blog files from github to my local linux machine but struggled a little with uploading the test file from the linux machine to the web server. While writing this blog post I was reminded of the solution that should work.

My mac is old and I suspect that at some point the battery will fail and I will lose access to it. I already had to swap the battery once and soon it will die again, and that’s when I will stop using it.
I considered swapping the battery a second time but I saw that Apple is about to stop support for it. If I can use a Linux machine instead, then I save money.

And Finally

Walking in challenging weather is good. It requires us to equip ourselves better, to remain comfortable, whether it’s cold, rainy, windy, or a heatwave. By migrating from Google Photos to PhotoPrism I can keep photos and videos locally rather than in the cloud, and access them with ease, as well as slide from the cheapest service to the cheapest service without investing days or weeks in the effort.

Sliding from Mac to Linux is about learning, and cutting costs, but mainly about experimentation and learing about a different OS. It’s good to be comfortable on Windows, Linux and Mac. At least now if, and when, the mac fails I will be ready to slide from one device to the other.

Did some more backyard work with the self-propelled battery mower. I’m not able to cope with a plain push mower now. Even then, I overdid it. Now dealing with sciatica.

The geese have returned to Coronation Park and with them, a proliferation of poop! 😧 They had disappeared over the spring and summer and it was so nice, not having to walk through a minefield.

They don't fly south for the winter as much anymore, either.
