  • My Brooks Ghost 15 shoes saved me from double heel spurs, double flat feet and a bad knee.

    I am on my third pair in two years, I wear them all year round, from 30C to -20C, and they are fantastic.

    I need extra wide shoes, inlays and a soft sole.

    Sure, they don’t last long, but the earlier shoes I had put me in a bad way where I for months cried out of pain when dragging myself back home from the bus after work.












  • Without seeing the art, I can think of a few explanations.

    1. The artist is drawing a concept, say an epidemic/disease, as a monster to make it easier to communicate. From what I understand aincient art is often very symbilc, which would fit this very well.
    2. Propaganda, the ruler wants art that shows them as powerfull, strong, and fighting/killing a sky monster is a powerfull message without angering neighbouring leaders into a real conflict.
    3. Fiction/immagination, today works of fiction are very common, so why not in the past as well? Someone painted something just because it looked cool, is that so unresonable?

  • Nah, I host it on a web hotel.

    I am using a very generic ISP and they tend to have a dim view of running servers on their network.

    I did have an RPi running SSH and a Mumble server directly connected to the internet years ago, but after a few years I realized that I was bringing needless attention to my network when I found my server on Shodan.

    So I took it down…
