Friday! Yay! As a retired guy, days of the week usually don’t matter too much, but this week has had almost a full month’s worth of adulting jammed into a single week. I’m not sure I especially like it, but it looks like I may have a single week of adulting in October, too. Maybe it’s better to schedule a lot of things all at once and then have a few slack weeks in a row. I know I sure enjoy weeks where I get to spend most of the days in the shop, playing with my wood.

nostr:npub1x9220tvraf7t0gdh6ujjxk9n7snlpnl5wf0q8k06qzscmjwf6z7sjt275q I only have 25 Mbit both up and down, so I don’t see streaming remotely as a thing ever. But we’ve got almost a full Gbit on our LAN. The main reason I can think of for transcoding is to save on storage space. And if I decide to share my library, FedExing a 6TB drive across the country is higher bandwidth than we’re ever likely to have here.

nostr:npub127tgg57ma006kn0096g9fqt6385jdunyumkc28wd3d7rw28304ys7sykvf I’ve packed all my metal coping saws away, and exclusively use turning saws I’ve made myself, both for 12 inch blades, but also for standard 6 inch coping saw blades. Exact same blade works so much better in my saw than in the metal hardware store coping that there’s no turning back.

nostr:npub1puqlhx3wygzdmvz37tkfl3hhmxtkjxu4gm62r9rwxhdstp98keqqqsujtj Thanks! Came to me last night, and the only question was whether I had enough ⅛ inch veneer to do the whole job. I think I’ll have about six inches left if I don’t have any mistakes.

Went to the final free concert at the #SantaFe plaza of the year tonight after dinner at the Plaza Cafe. Saw Severo y Grupa Fuego (top photo) and then Cuarenta y Cinco. It was a pretty good time. Wish we could’ve stayed later, but driving after dark isn’t my strong-suit, so we headed home after seeing just a few songs from the headliners.

nostr:npub1tudtvhmuljgst6k6rlg6fk3ynul0n5450xwslwrc0j3lj83pggys2lgu74 Probably not helpful for your situation, but I use an iPod Video (5th Gen) with a 1TB SSD installed in it (and a refurbished battery) connected to a pair of CRK studio monitors, set on shuffle, and with a couple more years to go at current play-rate before I play through the last refresh of the music on it.

It’s a slight pain, as I have to walk to the box to fiddle with it, but I also have to walk to the speakers to turn them on or off, so it’s not too bad.

nostr:npub15rjm9x3ayg3t24637g3erjlvvhn6agwkw4vktj5449v6m5g40aysvenm46 The banh mi sell out quick, so you need to get there early to get them. They were all gone by 4 last week.

nostr:npub15rjm9x3ayg3t24637g3erjlvvhn6agwkw4vktj5449v6m5g40aysvenm46 They’re already selling pastries and banh mi every Friday afternoon during the Farmers Market and pastries on Saturday mornings during the Flea Market, even before officially opening. When we talked to them last Friday, they were waiting on two final inspections, one of which was this week, I think, and the other soon, but I think after the first of the month.

nostr:npub1dm5seg0ukscz6zvhrfe6497ka2xdsqwt57nfnvuxu9pxkv25sngsdw5sqe There’s something else wrong. My 2000 Chevy Blazer and 2010 Chevy Silverado both have always-on lights, and I think they last about 7-8 years, which is longer than the lights ever lasted in my 74 Beetle or 67 Fury.

nostr:npub15rjm9x3ayg3t24637g3erjlvvhn6agwkw4vktj5449v6m5g40aysvenm46 SFR is, for me, my local paper. I moved here pre-Covid, and within the first day, the New Mexican wouldn’t let me read articles because I’d read too many without subscribing. Screw that. I never got a chance to decide if the paper was worth subscribing to or not. I donate to SFR monthly because they had the information on Covid early on, but I question that every time I miss a story for a couple weeks because they’re only posting on Twitter now.

nostr:npub1l7kdehqd9nzhnpfql5eg8pq5uw8n0lfrga93me2ytr4knpvq80uqxeln0u The search of electronics at the borders is one of the reasons I have quit crossing borders. I miss seeing my friends in Canada, but…

Didn’t feel much like working on any of the in-progress #woodworking projects this Sunday morning, so I quartered a chunk of pallet wood (some cherry-like hardwood from India) then started turning pieces round. I figure if I can get three decent rounds, I’ll use one of my tri-bolts a friend made for me three years ago and a hunk of leather and make a nice folding stool. And if not, I’ve been enjoying the turning, going round and smooth from square with nothing but a skew.

nostr:npub1kr57unz6urh5m60tfur2phtjy4ksrf5uhhmhcj4f979xscyuh6kscqnwzy Far as I know, yes. But when I was shopping a few months back, all the manufacturers required either that or a dedicated “server” to configure everything (yeah, it could be an RPi, but you still needed another machine to administer). From what I saw, you will have to give up one of your requirements.

nostr:npub184rmmkmksg2rwruujcmfm7du2qtdsfgcmmrmhaj5hwxeer8ede9smy2t80 I’ve been befriending the local ravens since we moved here. When we catch a mouse in a trap, it goes out to a special area and I yell “hey, raven!” And usually one shows up before I’m back to the garage with the now-empty trap. Also, when we’re on our morning walks, the raven will stay sitting on the speed limit sign as we walk past and say “good morning, raven!” to it. When anyone else walks past, the raven will fly off.

So either they like us, or we should be extremely worried.
