📺 Breakmaster Cyliinder - “Mad Max: Fury Road Rescore”
The iconic chase with the soundtrack completely replaced by a mashup artist.
📺Abandoned - Soviet Space Shuttles
The old Buran program craft remnants continue to decay.
Just watched They Drive by Night (1940).
A really wandering plot. Criterion labelled it “noir”, but I don’t know that I would consider applying that label.
I might never think of automatic doors the same way again.
Recreating approximately 15 years of accumulated mail rules is not fun.
Glad that I was forewarned so that I could save a webarchive of my old rules.
Today’s fortune(8) is another fine Zippy the Pinhead quote:
I HAVE to buy a new “DODGE MISER” and two dozen JORDACHE JEANS because my viewscreen is “USER-FRIENDLY”!!
Watched Arrival (2016) again.
It is so good, but 😭.
Today I learned that Slack has a per-person limit of 23 reactions per message. There can be more than 23 reaction “reacji” on a message, but they’ve got to be from multiple people.
I find the existence of the yes command to be a failure.
yes | sudo unminimize
🙄😞
Finally learned how to get Zsh help to work properly. Had to do a bunch of other stuff to get HELPDIR set appropriately for my setup, but, finally.
Sticker graffiti got me to go to a band’s Bandcamp page and listen to them. Unfortunately, from their YouTube channel, they broke up last month. (No, I’m not going to link to them.)
Watching Parents. What a good weird movie.
A boy in 1950s suburbia suspects his parents may be cannibals.
Michael: “What are we eating?”
Mom: “Leftovers, honey.”
Michael: “Leftovers from what?”
Mom: (laughs) “From the refrigerator!”
Michael: “We’ve had leftovers every day since we moved here. I’d like to know what they were before they were leftovers.”
Dad: “Well, before that, they were leftovers-to-be.”
Criterion Channel's current “Rebels at the Typewriter: Women Screenwriters of the 1930s” collection
Finished watching all 16 movies in Criterion Channel’s current “Rebels at the Typewriter: Women Screenwriters of the 1930s” collection.
The ones worthy of rewatch:
You and Me has a miserable first half, but the latter half goes some wild places.
What Price Hollywood? is decent and is rightly known as a A Star Is Born precursor.
But the one that is head and shoulders above the rest is Finishing School. It turns “condemned by the Legion of Decency" into a recommendation.
Really nice discussion of why the Moon’s path around the Sun does not involve loops.
∙> bash -c '(( 0 )); echo $?'

True is false and false is true? Say what, Bash?!?
Found out about -H as an alternative to f/--forest option to Linux ps. Does not show ASCII art, however does indent children of PID 1, which makes a difference inside containers.
*le sigh*
The -format json option to vault doesn’t cause it to emit errors as JSON.

I thought there should be a “standard” utility for overwriting the content of files with random garbage on most Linux systems. Unsurprisingly, it’s called shred. Surprisingly, to me, is that it’s part of GNU coreutils.
