from Beatus of Facundus, 1047 more here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/the-beatus-of-facundus-1047/ idk I was thinking that The Devil as an image is often part of Halloween and spooky season, unless he is in a work with Jesus, in which case the work is religious and not spooky. Then I thought that most religious stuff is out, if it's intended for the religion, and not for a spooky variation or derivative of the religion. So like a normal church funeral is out, but a cemet...

The Six Jizo at Yamashina, Kyoto, Sekino, Jun'ichiro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%E1%B9%A3itigarbha I think this is well done. The tops of the grass bending down in the wind makes me think of spirits passing through, or luck passing through. Maybe catching a little chill, not just from the wind, the blank-faced statues are quietly present, unflinching in the elements. These guys are considered a positive, protective spirit but it's still spookier than if it were an empty...

Moonlit Night. A Village. - Isaac Levitan, 1888 So skilled, damn. The light is perfect and I can just about hear the owls, the wind in the trees, the crunching of the dirt underfoot. Was that a scream?!? 🎃 #art #whoGoesThere #spooky #skill #moonlight #night #quiet #country #rural #nightmare #alive #undead #home

The Incantation (El conjuro), Francisco Goya So good. I'm putting the warning because I know that there are folks that aren't into this type of imagery. Maybe I like it because it's honest, in the way that fantasy can be more honest than reality? The one in the middle with the grimace-smile and the bats grabbing her hood is really strange -- perfect. Demented. I hope it's a basket of dolls that the other one has, who also has a flying creature on the back of...

Can you recommend me a free domain service? I want to try out some things with a secondary domain. I’d prefer ethical and non-shady providers. I have a fixed IP and a VPS to go with it, so it’s really only about the domain. A subdomain of my current domain is not enough. A subdomain of the provider would be OK but not ideal. Even paying very little is not an option right now - maybe later. Doing some preliminary research, the keyword seems to be Dynamic DNS even if I have a static IP. Ther...

Upgraded a few servers. Migrated several sites from #PHP 8.1 > 8.3. Taking a hard look at some sites on 8.2, time to move those up. Why do I have so many random little projects!?? #WebDev

RE: https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/top-stories-01r3k2ttz/-/a-kJGozF9MS2uCc6XAMVj7Ig%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0 If you're a "looksmaxxing" influencer shouldn't the ladies be throwing themselves at you, no alcohol or coercion required? 🤔 It's almost like the "women only care about the 3 sixes" mantra is a bullshit excuse for shallow priorities & being too scared or lazy to do real work on yourself. A cover for being a bigot who thinks...

What context has to exist for one of the biggest companies in the world (7th actually) to be able to say, a quarter of our staff is expendable & we'd prefer to be rid of them?? https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/microsoft-voluntary-buyout-9.7396520 #Microsoft #tech #jobs #news

I want to scream at the author of this article I’m reading. It’s a 45 min deep dive into 3 different bugs and how she had to manually herd her agents to triage, eventually getting to something only a human can decide after only getting there via human intervention. Then she says wrap that work into a playbook so the agent can do it itself in the future. Which is then followed by more examples of things agents can’t do and need to be decided by humans. The cognitive dissonance is breaking my br...

Now that I've read Jung’s *Psychological Types*, I think in the original Jungian definitions of introversion and extroversion. Trying to find anything relevant to them is an exercise in frustration because everyone uses the popular psychology definitions (e.g. "prefers solitary work" and “prefers group efforts”). I am primarily introverted by both definitions, but I want to find some information based on the original, and it's nigh impossible.

I have a tendency to manually sanitize my links when I copy/paste URLs for people. I have recently gotten a request for tool to do the same for non-tech-savvy users. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a good link sanitizer? Could be plug-in (probably best), app, or service. Feel free to boost. #FediHelp

If you lie when making an argument, beware that the medium is the message. If the medium is a lie, you are communicating that your position is bullshit. If you find yourself lying, take a step back. Maybe your position is wrong. Or maybe your position is right but you can't defend it, and it's time to let others speak.
