Back home!
- After 15 days spent in the US west coast (working) and then Japan (traveling with friends).
- I slept home in Oerlikon alone as I crashed not so long after arriving due to jet lag; [[AG]] will come with [[Lady Burup]] later today.
- I woke up at 6am after only 7 hours of sleep due to jetlag despite only getting five hours yesterday and I decided to just get up and start doing things; I’ll try to take a nap later today as needed.
-
Non-prioritized list of things I want to take a look at now that come to mind and I wanted to jot down:
- [[Cline]] — I heard it’s a good AI plugin for [[vscode]] that is not too opinionated/walled-gardeny (is that a word? maybe it should be)
- [[Posty]] — something cooked by [[Oliphant]] over at the Fediverse which sounds a lot like something I wanted to build/I wanted to see someone build)
- This [[talk by Dan Dennett]] who passed away this year.
- [[social.coop]] activity — some threads on Mastodon, some on Matrix, some on Loomio surely
- All in all this is supposed to be a free "jetlag recovery day" so I’ll just try to enjoy it and also spend time offline.
- I read [[Alan Watts]]‘s Wikipedia page (again? unsure) and I wondered again about his alcoholism and relatively early death at 58.

I’m writing this on the [[Shinkansen]] from [[Hiroshima]] to [[Osaka]].
- The [[Hiroshima Museum]], by which I mean the [[Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum]], was very interesting and very shocking — even though I thought I knew what to expect, the effect on me was strong. I could notice it also on other people who were there.
-
In Osaka I intend to:
-
Try interesting food (of course) :)
- [[Kushikatsu]]? Hopefully there’s a meat-free version.
- Visit new neighborhoods, like [[Shinsekai]] and [[Den Den Town]].

I’m writing this on my way to [[Japan]] ([[Fukuoka]]) from [[Honolulu]] :)
- I just finished [[Story of your life]] and other stories by [[Ted Chiang]], I liked it a lot. I don’t know why I waited so long to read him more intensively after liking some of his short stories I read online.
-
Some related concepts/topics:
- [[Fermat’s Principle of Least Time]]
- [[The Castle of the Pyrenees]] by [[Magritte]]
- He likes [[Borges]] (so do I as you might know). This came across most clearly maybe in his [[Golem]] related story, but there’s such an undercurrent in several stories and he uses the adjective [[Borgesian]] (IIRC) once.
-
[[Agora development]]:
-
[[agora bot migration]]:
- The current [[agora bot]] for Mastodon is still ceasing to work on [[2024-12-15]] as per https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/ but I have failed to do anything about it… until now :)
- To start with, I’ve now requested a post archive to save the
14k posts it has produced since it started operatingtwo years ago. - I’ll also look for an alternate instance, and try to set up a migration flow (for keeping followers).
