CW: Annoying Tech Stuff, Google

Woke up to an email from Google saying that they're removing "less secure sign-in" on May 30th. Which I think means I finally have to set up some kind of 2FA.

I don't have a phone. (Of any kind). Or any Android or iOS devices. That makes this all very difficult as Google really, really wants a phone number. I'm still not sure if it's even possible, if Google will allow you to continue now without a phone. I guess I'll find out.

CW: Bad Photos, Dusty DJ Gear

Photos taken after recording today's mix, number 262. Looks like it's about time to disassemble and clean my DJ mixer again.

I'll try harder next time to get a top-down picture without my socks in it.

CW: Bandcamp & Epic Games, Negative

I worry that this is the beginning of the end for Bandcamp. I'm worried because of who they're "joining" and also because this feels to me like a shift in priorities.

I've been buying music through Bandcamp for 10 years; we'll see how much longer it lasts, I guess. See what Epic Games does to it.

I suppose the fundamental question is: did Bandcamp sell out?

CW: Quake 3, Defrag, Youtube link, first person gameplay

Yo there's a new power_of_heavy_metal video

, almost 90 minutes long. If first-person gameplay gives you motion sickness then please skip this one.

Also this marks five years of broadcasting and/or producing a one-hour mix every week. It's been a ride. And a lot of work. I think I can safely say I'm much better at it now then when I started.

I have no idea what I'll do for year six.

libarchive and bsdtar are rad. It (libarchive) understands ISO9660 images and so I was just able to use /usr/bin/tar to extract a ~7 gigabyte multi-extent file from optical media. Good Stuff.

CW: re: Podcast, V:tM, Edginess

I've listened to an embarrassing amount of Path Of Night in the last week. It has 40-some episodes and I'm almost caught up.

There's more horror in Path Of Night than there was in LA By Night, I think. It's a pretty edgy show: gore, graphic violence, smoking, the late '90s. It comes close to being too much for me but hasn't yet gone over the line.

I'm really enjoying it (and I'm maybe a bit worried what that says about me).

CW: Podcast, Vampire The Masquerade

I've been wanting a good audio drama / TTRPG show lately. LA By Night ended, campaign 3 of Critical Role didn't really grab me, and NY By Night hasn't started yet.

So I did some searching & took a look at the available VtM actual play shows. After trying a few I got hooked on Path Of Night:

VtM 20th anniv. ed. game set in Connecticut. Very nicely edited & recorded show. Can be a little confusing at times. I'm really enjoying it.
