Today is the first time my solar website (https://solar.stfn.pl/) turned off because of not enough power. The system went down around two hours before dawn. I guess I'll need to look for bigger batteries.

Oh, this is some sneaky shit - #chromecast doesn't take DNS servers from DHCP. I thought from this post that you had to enable dev mode and use ADB but you can set a static address instead

Watching the 1991 film Nothing But Trouble and Chevy Chase is driving an amazing E23 BMW 733i. Loving all the nerdy chat about it on IMCDb

Ordered the new #pynchon novel from an American seller on eBay because I don't like the artwork on the UK edition, and instead a performance carbuteror for a moped turned up! Seems like it was meant to go to Puerto Rico

@jsit That's exactly what I thought of it too but I remember it does have a cool monster at the end

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

Found an oddity with the UK Blu-ray for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: it advertises a making-of feature which can't be selected from the menus. It exists as a 32-minute title on the disc but the audio is missing

#film #filmmastodon #bd #bluray

Hayley Williams of Paramore announces new solo album in the best way possible: with a website that looks and works like the Windows 95 Desktop. Use code 21G_y+dQQE(9v#Os to get in

#hayleywilliams #paramore #windows95 #webdesign
Screenshot from the website showing a window in the style of Windows 95 with a pixelated HW logo and the text "Submit the exclusive Good Dye Young 16-digit access code that was sent to your inbox. Haven’t seen your code? Check your inbox for an email from Good Dye Young. If you don’t have an email with a code, maybe ask a friend for theirs." There's a field to enter the code and a button to submit it Screenshot from the website looking like a Windows 95 Desktop with an orange background and the HW logo. There's a small music player open, audio files scattered over the Desktop a folder called "Misc"
