Recorded a piece tonight that, I later realised, I hadn't recorded since 2012.
My equipment has changed enormously in that time and I've gotten a lot better at fixing my voice with effects, but there's no denying my voice and technique are also very different.
@matigo I don't think I'll ever use the full range of brightness settings on my monitor — I go between 1% at night to 5% in the daytime.
A few weeks ago I decided to play around with varying strengths of reading glasses to see if this could relieve eye strain.
Have had to change my desk setup to move the monitor closer for the weakest +0.25 diopter (I don't actually need glasses at all) but have had zero eye strain in the last few days, even with very infrequent breaks. +0.75 diopter turns out to be perfect for books and iPad use.
Only time will tell, but I think this could be a great improvement to my workflow.

Wow, what a difference aria2c makes with yt-dlp: using yt-dlp's native downloader, a 11GB file from Twitch was estimated to take over 1 hour to download. Using aria2c with 16 concurrent connections and 16 threads (the maximum supported by aria2c), I got [download] 100% of 10.75GiB in 00:08:19 at 22.02MiB/s.
(Usage: yt-dlp URL --downloader aria2c --downloader-args aria2c:'-j 16 -x 16')
Turns out setting "privacy.resistFingerprinting = True" in Firefox causes nice.social not to display timestamps in my local timezone. Would be nice to be able to set that manually. (@matigo)
Finally got my "it'll do for now" prototype of a scraper in Python done completely in Rust.
It only works on one site that must remain nameless; suffice to say their "paywalled content" is exposed in full in JSON in the page source, which made my job very easy indeed…
It's very worrying that the M1 MBP won't turn on if it's plugged in and the battery's completely drained.
It seems I'll have to wait a few minutes to get some charge back.
Or is the battery actually busted?
Not happy either way. Once upon a time, Macs could run just fine without their batteries.
@variablepulserate Just 2 egg whites makes an absurd amount of meringue, and it's almost too easy: 10 minutes with the whisk attachment on my immersion blender and an hour in the oven.
