Working on paring back my possessions again and cataloguing that which I want to keep. Having a bit of scotch along with it for the first time in a long time. My hair's going gray and I'm becoming less ambitious, which is probably for the better. I have too many half-finished projects about.  Found this gemsite today: gemini://d.moonfire.us/  The author's idea, picking a surname when starting a family, seems like a good one to me. I'd independently come to the same conclusion. Was nice seeing someone else had as well.

Finding myself trying to pay more attention to how much energy I'm using and when I'm using it. Trying to shift my more energy-intensive activities toward the daytime, when my solar panels are providing most of my electricity. It's proving an interesting exercise. I think I might start carrying a USB stick with media I might want and using that instead of my local NAS in the evenings...

Last night I watched "Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda." It's a documentary about a Japanese composer who, at the time, was battling throat cancer. It was a nice, calm, meandering film. I enjoyed it.

There are not many ideologies today, it seems, that encourage consuming less in order to reclaim more of one's free time for oneself. Yet I think this is a necessary plank in our transition to a greener future. I feel this could be helped along by encouraging simple, maximally inclusive communal activities. Much of our consumption today seems directed toward compensating for a loss of non-consumption-oriented community.  I say this as one living in a relatively affluent Western country, granted.

Last night I referred to my own post on Station from about a month ago (linked below) to make another tempeh-and-rice concoction. Had to use honey because we were out of maple syrup. Still turned out alright. I think some ginger would've made it even better, though  gemini://station.martinrue.com/lykso/82c7fc62e52a45d48331bf006ae4c370

I had a Raspberry Pi 4 I wasn't using, so last night I flashed LibreELEC to an SD card and set it up to connect to my backup box over Wireguard. Now I don't have to spin up my gaming box to watch things! Haven't plugged it into a Kill-a-watt yet, but I suspect the Pi is using 1/4 to 1/10 of the electricity my gaming box does. Also, no fan noise.

Sorry about the weird posts earlier! I was testing out a script for using Station on my e-ink Kindle and it had *appeared* to fail entirely. Guess it only failed partially.

I've written a post summarizing some of my thoughts lately, framing retro gaming as a counter-"Jevons' paradox" activity. I'm curious about what some of you might have to say about or add to it.  gemini://lyk.so/gemlog/011-retro-gaming-against-jevons-paradox.gmi

After a period of low-energy, of the sort I'm learning to ride out by taking some time to relax and play games or read things (rather than trying to force myself into "productivity," which really never seems to work), I've spent today almost entirely productively. Wife has termed this "business mode." It's been nice.

I find my engagement with video content and text content is different. Video content "goes down" easier, but tends to not engage my thinking as deeply. Reading text *feels* more difficult, but I also feel like it forces me to consider every detail more thoroughly. I could easily spend all day consuming visual content, and I have in the past, but I find myself working to cut out that kind of content lately. I must be getting old. 😜

People with experience using screen readers: what is it like when people use Unicode superscript numbers¹ to create footnotes in their gemtext documents? Is it a better experience if they use parenthetical statements instead? What about using these footnotes to simulate inline links?  ¹ Like this.

Continuing the "experiments with tempeh" phase I'm going through: just fried up a whole bunch of tempeh strips, and then my wife and I sat there and ate 'em with ketchup. This was not the plan when I *started* frying the tempeh, but I'm not sad about how it turned out. :D

Small annoyance in Lagrange: Shift-Ctrl-v clears the text box that pops up for "input" server responses. This is the same key combination that you use to paste in most terminal emulators. I keeping finding myself writing posts in Lagrange and trying to paste in a URL or emoji at the end, only to see all my text disappear. 😛

Using the electricity mix in my region, the servers I run put out around 5 tonnes of CO² a year. My laptop puts out just shy of 100lbs, or 45kg (assuming 12 hours of use per day). Seeing what tricks I can employ to begin keeping my servers powered off more. Already I've started keeping my media box turned off at night and much of the day by downloading music and video I want to consume in the near future to the devices I'll be consuming them on, but my VM server runs some things that should be kept on 24 hours a day. Next step is, I suppose, seeing if I can put some of those VMs onto SBCs instead. (I have a few from previous projects just gathering dust at the moment.)

Just improvised a lunch for me and my housemates. Writing it here to share and remember: - 1/2 a head of garlic - 1 onion - A generous amount of sesame oil - 340g (12oz) tempeh - 60mL (1/4 cup) soy sauce - 60mL (1/4 cup) pure maple syrup - 3 packets of red pepper flakes - 15mL (3 tsp.) garam masala - Some shiitake mushroom  Fry onion, garlic, tempeh together in oil, add mushroom and fry until browned, add rest of ingredients, cook until sauce is absorbed/reduced. Serve w/ rice or eat as-is.
