Got a number of things to do this year still, but I definitely want to make a start on Renamon fursuit once I've sorted out the major things. :3

The Petalinux third party EULA from Xilinx is 287MB of raw ASCII text.

To compare, a King James Bible is about 4.3MB.

Average speeding speed reportedly peaks around 350 wpm.

Approximately 780,000 words in the bible (average word length is thus about 6).

So the average person could in theory read a bible through in about 37 hrs, or reading for 8 hours a day, about 5 days.

To read through this very important license agreement, at the same rate, would take just shy of 300 days (with no days off).

I'm told online that company legal reps start at about $100 an hour. So we're looking at an estimated low end cost to review the EULA by legal of $238,000.

Yeah. I'm sure every company using Petalinx does that.

My cutiemark is a miniaturised reproduction of Otto Dix's triptych Der Krieg, visible only under a microscope

So...I ended up having to start over because the game was in an unwinnable state. Basically locked into a quest for a character whose era was still locked.

But, that meant I got to try out the Yakra skip! (And now I know what NOT to do after getting Go mode)

Happy #WebcomicDay ! My webcomic Crossed Wires has been on a bit of a break recently (I've been stupid busy), but it's still got over 400 pages of ultracool anti-corpo action! In the cyberpunk present, hacking isn't just a skill... it's a survival trait. crossedwires.irisjay.net

Started work on priming my 3D printed werewolf muzzle, to be ready for sanding, but the brushes I got to paint on the putty and acetone primer mix keep shedding bristles, lol.

Gonna order some new brushes and then continue

Also on this point I fucking LOVE the title sequences for TV shows from the pre-digital age' so much passion going into a lot of them, like these titles for The South Bank Show: youtube.com/watch?v=cVfQB5HSfF

Show thread

PSA: Using "female" as a noun to refer to someone, as in "a female," "that female," or "those females," makes you sound like a Ferengi.

One of the big things I miss about TV from my childhood is now imaginative trailers, idents, and even commercials, were.

Now it all feels bland and cookie cutter, which isn't surpsiring given that there's a million channels and a finite number of viewers.

I noticed that a *lot* of the crawlers/bots we see on www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com are spoofed e.g. a "Meta" crawler coming from 10s of different small ISPs across the world (the real one comes from a Meta ASN).
I deployed a change this morning which adds source ASN validation (alongside user-agent string analysis) to our "known crawlers/bots" classifier & well, the results speak for themselves. Attached graphs show RPS from "known crawlers/bots" to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com.

Clarification; when I say movie poster I meant VHS cover art, lol.

IMO cover art is part of the home movie experience.

Show thread

Was just reminded of how a lot of movie DVDs had cover art that was not the movie poster but something more "modern" and how those felt tacky even when they first start doing that, lol

I really enjoy listening to my local community radio station when I'm in the kitchen; it's great hearing stuff that you just wouldn't get on commercial radio, like Taiwanese Folk Metal

was out a lot of today doing some gardening and now I'm a tired werewuff, the sort of tired where your body is really heavy x3
