Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

      So, the last time Tim Cook bribed Trump (with a $1M donation to his inauguration fund) the Apple tech bros kept telling us that was a personal donation from Cook, not from Apple the company.

      What's their line of defense gonna be now that the bribe has a big ass Apple logo on it?

              A quiet afternoon, then a sudden, beautiful interruption. An unexpected message from a stunning person, a silent force in the fediverse. They've done more for this place and for me than so many of the more vocal accounts - more than I have, even.

              This is the very essence of what I adore about this community. It's a place for genuine connection, where real people build real relationships.

              To the one who sent that message: Thank you. It arrived exactly when I needed it most.

                                Reading someone else's profile I often found this phrase:

                                boosts are not endorsement

                                And, not sure why, I wrote the same stuff in my profile. But it kept bugging me, because: "why the hell are you boosting someone else's toot if you're not approving it?" Doesn't make sense. It would be the same for likes: why should I like something that I don't approve? And then specify: likes are not endorsement. lol

                                  —Vamos —dice al fin el hombre de las sienes plateadas.

                                  La Bety y él cruzan el umbral. Dentro está muy oscuro. Bajan una escalera y ella da un traspiés que no llega a hacerla caer. Las paredes están totalmente cubiertas de carteles de conciertos.

                                  A cada paso, la música de baile se va volviendo más y más ensordecedora.

                                  Está en los dominios de Oleg Olégovich Tanareg. En el umbral no estaba escrito lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate. El interior de La Basílica tiene tres pistas de baile, cada una a su nivel. Hay barandillas metálicas, pasarelas en ángulos improbables, grandes candelabros a diferentes alturas, jaulas con chicas bailando en bikini colgando de los negros muros. Un mar de gente baila en trance. Huele a desinfectante y a sudor. Unos enormes tubos como bocas exhalan chorros de aire frío. Un cartel publicitario de cerveza Totengarten, oblongo, enorme, parpadea en azul y magenta. El nitrógeno líquido flamea en fumarolas como fuegos fatuos.

                                  Este pedazo de tierra olvidada es un exclave de la Rusia Blanca y bien podía estar a miles de kilómetros de esta ciudad o colgada de las nubes o sumergida en el mar interior porque su ubicación es ajena al tiempo y al espacio.

                                  Cuatro tipos como hienas la rodean. Allí, delante de todo el mundo, la cachean con violencia y lascivia. Nadie se inmuta, el ritmo endiablado de la música bascula sobre sus cabezas, los cañones de luz se retuercen como faros desquiciados. La Bety alza las manos, saca del bolsillo la pistola con el índice y el pulgar y se la entrega a alguien.

                                  Una mano firme le arrebata la bolsa.

                                  Quizá esto es el final.

                                  [...]

                                                          Substack is terrible - but even people who know it don't want to leave the platform – a tale in 3 acts.

                                                          Act I

                                                          Tech journalist Taylor Lorenz published a scoop a few days ago, showing how "Substack sent a push alert promoting a Nazi blog" (if you don't want to give #Substack a click, here is an alt link https://archive.ph/FTjEH).

                                                          It was a terrific and disturbing piece - kudos to her.

                                                          Act II (plot twist)

                                                          People started pointing out that Lorenz herself is using Substack as the publishing platform for her blog - which she monetizes with subscriptions. So, very ballsy move on her part to criticize the platform that she relies on to make a living, but still, some people started pointing out the incongruity of this. What about her values? Why wouldn't she move her newsletter?

                                                          Lorenz was starting to get fed up with these comments and explained on Bluesky (alt link / snapshot if you don't want to give Bluesky a click: https://archive.ph/CePll)

                                                          " Them: Get off substack
                                                          Me: Ok I set up a Patreon. The features aren’t as good but I’m willing to take a hit and do a lot more time consuming work on the back end to make it work. Here’s where you can subscribe to support me. Once enough people hop over I’ll be able to make the jump
                                                          Them: *crickets* "

                                                          She followed up that post with the comment:

                                                          " A lot of people on here want to attack and punish creators (esp women and LGBTQ ppl) for being forced to rely on certain platforms to make a living, but aren’t actually willing to support those creators in a way that allows them to leave the platforms ur so critical of them being forced to rely on. "

                                                          Fair enough.

                                                          Act III (in which I insert myself)

                                                          I don't post on Bluesky anymore but I felt compelled to resuscitate my account to point out that Substack is not only terrible, but it's also very expensive and takes the BIGGEST cut out of all other newsletter platforms.

                                                          I wrote:

                                                          " With all due respect Taylor, moving away from Substack is the ethical choice and it also makes financial sense. The great Molly White compiled a detailed breakdown of how much money creators who rely on subscriptions could save... by switching over to other platforms. "

                                                          And I linked to Molly White's brilliant post: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/114319870485786053

                                                          I also added a link to the article by @micahflee : "Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost" https://micahflee.com/not-only-is-substack-right-wing-broligarchy-garbage-its-way-more-expensive-than-ghost/

                                                          Lorenz responded:

                                                          "Again, I am on Patreon and have had the option to receive my newsletter directly outside of Substack since day 1. Only 3 people have ever taken me up on this. By the way I cover Substack and the only reason I got the scoop I got it from being in the platform. Hence why I’ll always have an acct"

                                                          I just replied to her that #Ghost offers a free concierge migration service (https://ghost.org/concierge/) where she could move over all her paid subscribers... and I said that IMHO she could still use Substack Notes to share her articles if she moved elsewhere... but staying on Substack and giving them 10% of her earnings feels like an implicit endorsement.

                                                          I meant that in the most empathetic way. I can understand her struggles but she has 87,000 subscribers and if she wanted to move she could simply ask for help and I'm sure people would volunteer to set her up somewhere else. If she did so on the Fediverse she'd have a self-hosted account on a VPS in less than 24 hours.

                                                          Lest you think I want to "attack and publish creators (especially women)" like in Lorenz's words on Bluesky, well, I'm a woman who started self-hosting only 6 months ago and I now run my own Ghost blog which I manually installed. It's not that unattainable.

                                                          Maybe it's just me, but I believe that the tech we use sends an important message about our values and the causes we support. Everything is politics now. Including our tech stack.

The most interesting thing about the design of Wio is that when you make a window by defult opens a terminal and in there you run your graphical program, so i'm thinking, wouldn't be neat that you could switch between the terminal and graphical preview, and and then came to my mind "why not allow to do that on the compositor it self" because sometimes happens that the compositor breaks and you are locked in the sence that you can't change to another tty.

by Gustave Moreau 

Gustave Moreau’s L'Apparition is a haunting and richly symbolic watercolor painting that vividly captures a moment from the biblical story of Salome. In this striking scene, Salome stands transfixed before the vision of the severed head of John the Baptist, which hovers, radiant and bleeding, in the air before her.

Salome is adorned in elaborate, orientalized robes and jewelry that shimmer with color, light, and texture—an opulent reflection of her allure and the decadent atmosphere of Herod’s court. Her expression is one of awe and dread as she gazes upon the miraculous apparition.

The head of John the Baptist floats above a luminous nimbus, glowing with supernatural intensity, contrasting with the dark, richly patterned architectural setting behind.

This evocative photograph captures Leonora Carrington, the British-born Surrealist artist and writer. Carrington appears poised and enigmatic, her expression calm but intense, often with piercing eyes that suggest her deep inner world.

She has semi-long curly hair and wears a lacy midi-length blouse with a skirt (or black pants), her arms wrapped around one of her knees.

I also had a Wireguard connection from this VPS to a server in my own home under my desk, slow but with plenty of disk space. My home connection was a standard ISP fibre, dynamic IP, but very stable in time. So, I used sshfs from the VPS to mount a folder in my home server. It was not very fast, but got the work done.

Force stip the app and then check for updates and then toggle off Force old index format. You should now be good to go.

                                                                                                                                    Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,

                                                                                                                                    This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right — for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.

                                                                                                                                    So I’m happy to announce a new service: The BSD Cafe Journal.


                                                                                                                                    What is The BSD Cafe Journal?

                                                                                                                                    At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.

                                                                                                                                    The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles — a place to inform and connect.

                                                                                                                                    Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafés to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed — all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.

                                                                                                                                    • No drama, no politics: The goal is to bring people together, not divide them. To inform, not inflame.
                                                                                                                                    • Respect, tolerance, and inclusivity are key. Everyone should feel welcome reading the BSD Cafe Journal — never judged, offended, or excluded.

                                                                                                                                    • It’s portable (runs well on all BSDs).
                                                                                                                                    • It has great built-in role management (contributors, authors, etc.).
                                                                                                                                    • And — last but not least — it supports ActivityPub.

                                                                                                                                    This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.

                                                                                                                                    Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.

                                                                                                                                    The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy — all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.

                                                                                                                                    Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.

                                                                                                                                    Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.

                                                                                                                                    So here’s my call to action:

                                                                                                                                    Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge — the Journal is waiting for you!

I used it to create the 2D textures of my 1997 game Space Plumber. It was painful to use in my machine, but all you needed was patience.

One says to the other "Do you think we're best friends in other universes too?" The second panel splits into a three by three grid of different reactions of "Um"s and "Well"s from the second crow, in a multiverse sort of way. The third panel is further split again by three, so there are nine by nine squares of the same two crows flying together, the only distinction between the squares is a different sky colour. In the fourth panel, the square are again divided by three so there are now 27 by 27 filling the panel. We can see now that there is a greater pattern emerging from the colours of each square, a pixelated form is starting to emerge. In the fifth panel, the many many squares of different universes is reminiscent of a painting using pointillism, which each dot of colour represent one of many thousands of realities. We can see now very clearly that the pixelated forms are the two crows, flying in front of a gray-blue sky. We return to the visual resolution as we saw in the first panel, as if no time has passed at all. The second crow responds "It doesn't seem likely".
