To update: Techcrunch is reporting that BCNY was acquired for $610 million.

I got the notification last week, but completely forgot about it until this evening. As I said on Mastodon, it is a bop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thAt5-kNuZ0 Playlist Buy/Save it on Apple Music/Spotify/Amazon: https://album.link/i/1831696749

I have been listening to the discography of Macross 82-99 that I bought on Bandcamp And I have ended up listening to ミュン・ファン・ローン (Macross Plus) more times that I wish to admit. It’s so good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3W7e2cOX_U

AOL’s Dial-up Service is ending on September 30th 2025. AOL’s dial-up internet still exists, but not for much longer (Archive) It got me wondering, I know that eir no longer offers Dial-up to new customers, but are there still customers in Ireland that still have dial-up? I assume the ones that do are for specific scenarios.

What a better way to spend a Saturday night than to watch a video about the only subway crossing in Japan. About 10-min walk from Ueno station in Tokyo. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2495721620#map=19/35.714174/139.780753 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FafWbBOk6c

At first I’ve got to admit I was confused … what on earth were all these Coldplay memes about. Then I got it … then I laughed along with the rest of the people. Now I’m seeing personal photos being shared of the HR woman (I’d mention her name except I don’t even know it) and her husband and kids before the concert and I can’t help but think … these aren’t public figures and their lives are being dissected by random strangers on the internet. Bloody hell we all do weird crap at times and while an affair is an awful thing it definitely doesn’t need to be public knowledge for the world to read about does it? Does their affair impact their ability to do their job (OK maybe that does but then it should be an internal thing within the company … I’ve no idea what is even allowed in the work place anymore … I think there’s another meme about that for another day) I’m so thankful I grew up without camera phones / video phones and if people wanted drunk photos of you they had to take the photo … go get it processed and spend money on the whole thing … which probably meant … nope not doing it!

“The Prince of Darkness” Ozzy Osbourne has died aged 76. [image: 1753210761848-77274bde-2607-4bc5-95ff-d58cf07ac9e7-image.png] Source: MercuryStudios on Instagram The family released a statement: It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis. RIP Ozzy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrZFscfJxXc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qanF-91aJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3-QqGVt-tM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCCiwPEdEpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CprfjfN5PRs

This will serve as a public document of Caint finances. Everything is including VAT of 23% Caint.ie domain - €7.37 (This for Year 1 only. This will increase to €39.35 in Year 2 onwards) Hosting - €4.98 per month x12 = €59.78 Email - Free* nodeBB - Free SSL - Free Total: €67.15 in Year 1 €99.13 in Year 2 and beyond (Obviously not accounting for potential increases in hosting or domains between now and then) So it costs less than €100 per year to run this entire site for now. For the nerds, the hosting is a Hetzner Cloud server based in Nuremberg, Germany. A tiny 2 vCPU, with 4GB of RAM and 40GB HDD Storage. Nothing too crazy to start off with. * The email is part of my personal server that is separate from the Hosting server.
