Took the first steps towards restoring my 80's raleigh. I want to paint it with the TI Raleigh color scheme (Red and black with some tinges of white. Next steps: actually removing the brakes, the rear derailleur, buying the paint, buying the P.O. box so I can receive the decals without dealing with the abysmal postal service of my country and removing the old paint. Oh, and also removing the heron badge and search for a glue capable of putting it back again. The result will be, I hope, the sexiest bike I'll ever own. #Cycling #Bicycles

New post: https://silosneeded.com/2025/06/reflections_on_videogames_dont_ageLately I've been meddling with the notion of not engaging with retro videogames due to the perception of them being able to "age poorly". I had already written about this in spanish and translated that post some days ago. While rereading it I decided to expand my ideas.

Libertarians talking about how the stop killing games initiative is bad actually because it requires state enforcement is the worst talking point surrounding the initiative's discourse

Learning awk, feeling super powered. Traversing the way of plain text wizardry.

Been suffering using kodi and vlc on a shitty htpc hooked up to an sftp server via fast ethernet (not gigabit) I built with an amd compu from 10 years ago and a motherboard I bought from a friend for 5 bucks. Yes the solution was telling kodi to use mpv. Every time.I love VLC and its aura as a legendary free software project but the verdict is clear. If you're using a cpu that you bought for less than 20 bucks don't bother.

Considering starting another schizophrenic blog where I'll write about what I've been reading. Sounds like a good way of practicing criticism and engaging more deeply with the story/thesis of whatever book I read.

@Pi_ratI got back into it by writing very small amount Neat trick, personally I just have to actually sit down to get the ball rolling; but alas that's the complicated partNow that you have talked about it, I hope you get back on your projects Thanks, yeah will do, I have a plan laid out to continue working; I think I've procrastinated that much because I haven't done a project like this in never, I'm pretty new to it, so the blocker I have seems mystical, but hey I can always post on the forums and it probably will be what I'll end up doing.

@maestrapaladin @adelgado @Shine_McShine @maestrapaladin @adelgado @Shine_McShine No realmente. Personalmente pienso que la peor parte de la polémica fue la horrible negligencia de los desarrolladores.

So today I continued my work on my playstation 2 pico library, I've regained hope, and I have trust on it not being a nothingburger and me actually delivering. Updated my blog with my findings, take a look!https://silosneeded.com/2025/07/picoshock_devlog_3
