Welcome to the first real volume of RSS Club! It’s just some random things.
- Ali and I are watching Néro the Assassin which is kind of fun. It’s French, but you can’t watch it in French, only in English audio and all the other languages closed caption. Or, well, I didn’t check all the other languages, just the French which is only closed captions. It’s only available in English audio. Fun fact: they did AI assisted mouth dubbing which fine, I guess. It’s a little uncanny. I’d rather watch it in French with subtitles. It’s pretty bad actually, if you stare at it.
- Leg day today was especially intense. Probably because I was late; I think I mis-noted the time of the appointment. Or it was just the scheduled workout since it’s basically the same thing Ali did last week.
- I was hoping to find some good photos of the interior user interfaces, buttons, labels, switches, that kind of thing from the Artemis II capsule. No such luck yet. There is a massive new trove on the GAE, 12k pictures (via Kottke, which I guess was via Damn Interesting and via PetaPixel before that, phew!). But I haven’t found any yet of the switches. Let me know if you do. This one is pretty cool, and so it this one, but you can’t see the controls or labels very well. No luck on the time ordered page either (via pxlnv).
- I recently switched to FeedBin after a couple of years of using MiniFlux after a couple of years of using the local fetcher in ReadKit. The vintage ip address range is supposed to have better luck at fetching some feeds that have been perpetually rejected. Yes, I do have some old feeds that I have carried over several times since the good old days of Google Reader. I think they’re that old. I don’t really know. Anyway, nothing is as good as that, and no, big-G, you can never bring it back, I wouldn’t trust it. I bumped into this service on the tour through alternatives; I haven’t really been able to figure out why they’re making a pitch to businesses for a feed reader, or something.
