Goodbye everyone at !I had an excellent time at my first IRL Demoparty. I will return to the E-Werk!

Binary going up as a nice WUHB........ eventually. #Revision2024

Problem resolved. My server is now faster and more expensive. 😅

My private instance has been getting overloaded. Might go offline for about an hour to upgrade RAM.

Telling my friends and family I'm at a digital arts festival, but sitting in a darkened warehouse, lit by colourful lamps, LEDs and laptop screens.
It rocks.

There's the #TIC80 jam at 1pm CET (about half an hour from this message). I might well be on stage and attempting something overly ambitious...

Given that I am at a Demoparty, I suppose I should work on my website that I haven't updated in a year.

I just updated the playlist content on prods.page/, I might fuck around and see what kinds of improvements I can make over the weekend.

I have arrived! Amazing that I already know this place thanks to Sofa World.

Heading to E-Werk Saarbrücken for in a about an hour. Looking forward to The Meteorik's and Shader Showdown qualifiers the most today.

First time at Revision after nearly a decade of watching from afar. I enjoy a good convention, but during the pandemic Revision was the only remote event that was actually fun.

First ever Demoparty, actually. America doesn't really do this kind of thing for some reason. Closest I've done is Defcon, which while fun, isn't the same at all.

Made it to Saarbrücken! No mistakes this time. Looking forward to tomorrow!

Also, this city looks fun. I'll need to use some of my time to explore with my wife.

Oops, I didn't understand how to ride the DB train and accidentally ended up in Heidelberg. Best mistake ever, this place rules. Forfeited the Stuttgart hotel and I'm even closer to my next destination.

It's a shame that communites surrounding Lemmy, Kbin, et al are closer to Pleroma than Mastodon in terms of tolerance for fascism. I really want that part of the Fediverse to succeed, but it's rapidly becoming as toxic as Reddit.

Still better than Reddit by a long shot, and not so toxic that I'm quitting yet, but I might not stick around if things get worse. Already about to switch instances since the flagship mods are slowly shrinking and transforming into corncobs.

About to leave for a trip to Europe!

March 24 - March 27: Munich, Germany
March 27 - March 28: Stuttgart, Germany
March 28 - April 1: Saarbrücken, Germany ()
April 1 - April 3: Paris, France
April 3 - April 6: London, England
April 6 - April 10: Dublin, Ireland

A genre tag cloud based on my listening history. Not sure how Ohio made the cut.

Hot take: Material Design is terrible and bootstrapping your FOSS app with it just makes your app worse.

Why are people talking about Facebook being down on Super Tuesday like it's a bad thing? I'm more upset that it came back up.

It's official. I'll be in Europe for 2+ weeks starting in late March, and I'll be in Saarbrücken for !

Flying to Munich, then making my way by train to Stuttgart, Saarbrücken, Paris, and London, then flying to Dublin for a few days before my flight home.
