I've been Sketched

Sketchy Elf, who knew?

I was invited to the Kava Bar for Open Mic Night to watch some friends perform, and one of the patrons decided to do some urban sketching. Well, they decided to use my silly self as a subject and I'm Totally happy with the outcome. Not a bad likeness.

Killed it again.

Always worth a laugh.

I sort of had a good reason this time.

Ok so running elfLand on a new server now. Because of the CentOS debacle, I'm switching to Alma Linux like pretty much everyone else.

So anyway, when I'm testing a new server build I generally move all of my crap over first to see what breaks. With BackDrop, NextCloud, WordPress, Matomo, and a few other things running on the nice new Apache/PHP/PHP-FPM/MariaDB/APCu it gets a workout.

...part of what made it seem real. It's why I stopped watching. Cut to a few days later. Tyler inflencer person had posted days before about American Airlines and the clusterfuck of his & other passengers' flight. He posted a part 2 of his phone call with AA & how frustrating it…

Oh! /continues ai rant I saw a video of a guy verbally abusing a "conversational ai" Jeff ask her to do things and call her names and say she was stupid and grill her about why she was offended, etc. Not gonna lie, I watched for a bit, curious. And I laughed. But the woman's…

And I know his voice through all phases. I could probably name the year based on voice. But he wouldn't make a list. of who he loved the most. (Also, his kids & David, duh) I listened for *awhile* before I was sure. His voice droned on and had no animation. In a short clip I…

Now *this* is an aspect to Flock cameras I hadn't even thought of. Installations that aren't in compliance, such as the camera in the video on a pole in concrete in an area that is supposed to be clear of instructions that could do damage to occupants of a car that goes off the…
