Ok! Based on this shakedown mosey I believe that moving forward there will be less tearing out of areas of the van that don't work and more finishing work on a solid core. 🎉The layout works. I'm satisfied with features chosen and excluded.The interior still looks like someone built it from scraps (because I did) and a lot of stuff looks temporarily tacked into place (because it is) but despite appearances this is a milestone.#vanBuild

I Iove the smell of domain blocks in the morning.

Desert dogs.Well, city dogs in the desert.

Ran away from the PNW cold and grey but somehow ended up in Nevada mountains. 🤷‍♂️Snow is predicted so as soon as light hits the peaks I'm hightailing it South. 🥶#vanLife

I guess I'm spills food on shirt every ding dang time years old. Are bibs back in fashion?

@trevorflowers You know you are a hobby machinist when it's easier to make a new screwdriver than find the one you misplaced. 😀

As a long-time resident of cities with regularly scheduled and normalized naked bike rides, I'm as pleased as punch to see them covered by national news teams.On one of my first mornings living on the panhandle of Golden Gate Park I opened my blinds to see the Bay to Breakers folks walking, rollerskating, cycling, and even running in all stages of dress and undress, often in elaborate costumes and paints. I knew I'd found a home.Shrug off the yoke of body hatred!Break free!

How many boxen could a box boxer box if a box boxer could box boxen?

Groggy morning thought: A campaign like "non-GMO" but for used "non-AI" lappies and tablets.

I just noticed that the current version of macOS is the last to support Intel macs. The one-two punch of Win11 forced upgrades and Apple ditching their entire line before Apple silicone might make a big wave of perfectly capable machines hit the used market.

A new version of LineageOS, a de-Googled version of Android, is out. Apparently, they're working toward support for mainline Linux kernels and away from Google's patched kernels. In theory, that would allow LineageOS to boot on a whole raft of devices (even non-phones) instead of just the Qualcomm SoCs currently supported.Also, they're improving Qemu hosting so running in a VM on your lappie is possible.https://lineageos.org/Changelog-30/

I'm deeply grumpy about Mozilla yet still agree with this headline. On desktop it's a different calculus but on Android I keep coming back to Firefox. Any user agent without original flavor UBlock is, to me, unusable.https://kelvinjps.com/blog/firefox-best-mobile-browser/

The AdaFruit folks regularly add capabilities to their no-code IoT combination of the WipperSnapper firmware and their data hub, Adafruit.io. I was doubtful at first that it would be fun and capable compared to what basic scripting with Circuit/MicroPython offers but as the team add more device categories and smooth the process I have to say that no-code IoT is increasingly great for more situations.https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/10/10/tft-and-eink-epaper-components-now-supported-by-adafruit-io-wippersnapper/

If I tire* of van life then a small boat with a similar design attitude as this lux river-boat could be a fun next build. When it's OK to go slow a whole raft* of options open up.https://youtu.be/gf0lDwe5Au8* sorry

It turns out that training myself to stop doomscrolling by instead hitting the Wikipedia random link just means I now have two problems.In unrelated news, TIL that Shermar Martina has a cool name and a twin brother.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shermar_MartinaSaid random link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

As individuals, it's usually easy to avoid funding publicly terrible people. If we do make that mistake, it's usually easy to say "my bad" and stop doing it.For example:A few months ago I bought a Framework 16. That's my bad./me stops buying from FrameworkSee?Every purchase is a vote.

Protocols and code to link together a handful of big scalable nodes hosted on rich people's infrastructure are fundamentally different than protocols and code necessary to grow a global mesh of many thousands of locally hosted community nodes.

Android: more closed every dayhttps://lineageos.org/Changelog-30/

Trying to find the lie.https://pluralistic.net/2025/10/06/rogue-capitalism/Usually Doctorow's writing is too hyperbolic for me but in this case I don't see exaggeration.Please make and choose web apps every chance you get.Please build the habit of using browsers on PCs instead of apps on phones.

It's been a fun distraction from *waves hand at world* to set up a few little LANs in the van, workshop, and house and then stitch them together. The workshop LAN is mainly a security system. The vanLAN is a playground. The house has a security system, cold storage, and a few other little thises and thats.Main ingredients:- Home Assistant- Wireguard- AlmaLinux + cockpit- ~$25 LTE modems- ~$35 travel routers- PoE IP cameras- Zigbee sensorsGood fun!#vanLAN #vanBuild
