Had a blast at Klatovy this weekend. My old-meets-new build was a great success. Flying a Samurai v1 on 4S (Katana 2700kv motors) combined with DJI O4 Lite (with a fly woo correction lens) was like getting a lasik. Such a great picture, and pretty minimal latency variation in race mode. With absolutely no practice this year I couldn't have more fun than I had.
Our "Old Farts" Theatre Group meets virtually Friday mornings on Zoom. Once a year we have a live outing to the Reedsville Youth Fair for lunch. #oldfarts #oldfart #theater #theatre #communitytheater #communitytheatre #friends #theaterfriends #communitytheaterfriends
Looks like I missed when Highway To Heaven was trending on here. I'm only about 40 years late though 
I bet most people on here are too young to remember it anyway.
You are preaching to the choir - it's actually kinda difficult to get a well-designed case *without* a window - but it makes us old farts fossils in the gamer kids' eyes.
Same with internal components encrusted with programmable LEDs...
For my sad birthday my wife gifted me with an Orbital concert over the weekend. They play in Brno in the summer, so obviously we went to Maastricht.*
Jokes aside, the show was special in its focus on the green and brown album. The latter was what I grew up on, looping Lush and Impact about a million times. Having two old farts blast acid to more old farts got me a little emotional.
* This nasty Brno joke was brought to you by the classic GUADEC conflict.
Last time I used pip was around 1985 on a CP/M computer...
Alta Cocker is a Yiddish saying for an old person, or literally an old fart. Funny Jewish humor! Your bubbie or zayde will love this as will any other Alta Kocker you know! Also available spelled Alta Kocker and in blue lettering too.

Still feeling sick as a dog. (Why do we say that, BTW? How are dogs sicker than any other animal?) A nasty headache has added itself to my symptoms. (Maybe it's sinus pressure? Maybe it's dehydration? Fuck it, I dunno, maybe it's Maybelline. #OldFart)
Anyway, I'm gonna take some NyQuil and try to fall asleep ASAP. Yeah, way before midnight, I don't GAF. Today's been sucky, and I'm ready for it to be over.
G'night, Fedi.
Did anyone else own a #Filofax back in the day? I just shredded the contents of mine; it was fully of so many memories from a long, long time ago. I kinda miss the simplicity of those days. #OldFart #OldTechnology
Years ago, I stopped by a supermarket after a gym session. I was wearing a tank top and my shoulder tattoo was visible. I was looking at something or another on a shelf when an elderly man got pretty close to me. I assumed I was blocking something he wanted to get at, so I shuffled out of the way. Then I realized he was looking at me, not the food.
His lips were pressed tightly together, and he was shaking his head in a tsk-tsk sort of way. "You're a woman, you have a tattoo, and that is not--"
I interrupted him cheerily. "Not your body. Not your business. Bye!"
I left him there all judgy-faced without a target. I guess he had the sanctimonious equivalent of blue balls. Boo hoo.
Later on, I told someone about this, and they chided me for not taking a tongue-lashing from that old man. "Fuck that," I said. "That's how I spent my first twenty years. I don't owe that to anyone."

My mid-life crisis
at the age of fifty-nine?
When is my end-life?
My stock answer to all the oh-so-tired "how to exit vim(1)" schtick includes ref to https://nxdomain.no/~peter/ed_mastery_is_a_must_for_real_unix_person.html (alternatively https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2018/04/ed1-mastery-is-must-for-real-unix-person.html if you really don't mind being tracked) #vi #vim #howtoexitvim #ed #editors #standardeditor #unix #oldfart #greybeard
One thing puzzled me slightly over the last couple of days. Watching the auth logs I see login attempts with the following user IDs:
2024-11-30 SSH ALLIN1MAIL
2024-11-30 SSH PDP11
2024-11-30 SSH PDP8
2024-11-30 SSH TELEDEMO
2024-11-30 SSH DECMAIL
2024-11-30 SSH DECNET
2024-11-30 SSH SYSMAINT
2024-12-01 SSH SYSTEST_CLIG
which to this #oldfart #greybeard sounds very #DEC #VAX-like.
Anyone else seeing this? Or is somebody out there actually running an Internet-accessible VAX somewhere?
I actually miss colored TP. #OldFart
@dannotdaniel Is it really messed-up of me that I read this (note: someone boosted the text version with "waka waka" rather than "<>", into my timeline and that's what I was going on... and couldn't for the life of me remember what "waka" means), saw the "dollar underscore", and immediately thought, "Wait, I think this is Perl code!"?
