  • I've written a python script that fetches a random image from an immich album using its API, every 30 seconds and sets it as my media pc (Ubuntu) wallpaper. Serves as a frame when no windows are open. Recently updated the code to fetch images only when the desktop has mouse focus, to save unnecessary HDD reads when I'm watching something.

  • The Iranian movie Bachcha-e-Aasmaan (English name: Children of Heaven).

    Italian movie Cinema Paradiso. This movie is the embodiment of my love for cinema.

    Both of them feel so raw and genuine it makes me come back to them time and again.

  • Can't believe no one has said the dramatized version of LOTR broadcast by BBC in 1981! 12 hours plus of pure magic. Fun fact: Ian Holm gave the voice for Frodo in the radio version, the same guy who plays Bilbo in the movie trilogy.

    Looks like it is on internet archive already: https://archive.org/details/lord-of-the-rings-10_202401 though I first downloaded it on high seas many years ago.

  • Start with something small, being fit is not just about being jacked. After being like you, I've taken up the challenge of doing 10k pushups this year. It might sound like much but it only comes to around 30 per day. You just have to be consistent. I'm on day 84 today and have only missed one day so far. I have begun adding skipping a rope on days that I can. I'm already seeing improvement in my posture and back ache and that alone keeps me motivated.

    My motivation was this post: https://wjgilmore.com/articles/10000-pushups

    You can do it too. I believe in you.

  • Yes, very nearly the easiest fermented drink I've made. There is a vegetable and fruits shop near that slices up pineapples when you buy. He was very happy to give away the rinds and peels in a bag. I just gave it a wash and put it in a large glass jar (around 3 litres) of water with a stick of cinnamon and half a kilo of jaggery. It was done in 4 days and was a hit with my friends at the office. Now three of them are fermenting some of their own. But the weather is mild where I am. I'm not sure it'll be as easy to ferment in summers without temperature control.

  • Come on, don't keep us hanging! What does the little guy play...? A melody in E minor? A game of rugby??

  • That actually gives me an idea. I have an LED light that can be mounted on the head with a strap. I can diffuse its light with a paper, as suggested by you. Thanks!

  • I'm going to use this post to ask for a fix. I have an old generation kindle with no frontlight. What would be the easiest way to get a decent amount of diffused light on it? The device even has exposed power leads at the back for specialized covers for such things but frontlight covers aren't available for sale in my country now.

  • Wait till they find out that your are capable of GOSUB - RETURN too.

  • Yes it has a scale changer. I love playing it when I can but I will admit I could never do justice to what it is capable of.

  • The one I have, Hohner Super 64x, is pretty expensive, at least for me.

  • I play a little bit of the harmonica. It's gotten out of tune a little bit over the years and no places near me will repair it.

    But what I'm really proud of is the set of ceramic bowls I've collected over the years to make what is called Jal tarang. Water needs to be filled in them to specified levels and struck with wooden sticks to make a musical note. Tuning it is an exercise of its own but I love playing it when I can find the time. Sounds really nice.

    Here is a virtuoso of the instrument playing a song:

    How do I make my immich available publicly?
