I’ve been getting more into the game Gaslands with my son and also with adult friends. It’s a Mad Max-esque tabletop game where you’re expected to create your own game pieces by kitbashing with toy cars.

Here is my latest creation.

yt-dlp and wget to fetch files from the Intenets without having to open a browser were on the list yesterday as well, but I'm eager to (re)discover some other nice tools.

People who weren't there in the early Fedverse don't remember those shaky days when it was being written and run by Evan Devromou and later Evan Testromou.

They think OStatus and @Evan Prodromou just sprang into life fully formed.

Ok, now I'm intrigued.
