Last Notes npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…8ama haha YES! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…4fgp WOW. another potential takeaway: omg I had no idea what Katy Perry looked like but someone get her a sandwich she is literally starving npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…8ama my neighbor has a dog that I thought was called "Millie" for literally years. The only time I heard its name was when he was yelling at it from the porch, and I didn't even consider it could be another word until I heard his 6 year old call it "Bailey." I asked her what the dog's name was, and she repeated, "Bailey." I said, "Not Millie?" and the 6 year old child looked at me like I was an idiot. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…l9m2 I agree with you in principle. That said, I wonder if it's not kind of required right now if you want to get anyone elected so they can fix the conditions that lead to the bubble requirement. Of course, that's what the right thought they were doing when they elected Trump, that he would just tear down the whole system and put whatever they want in place. And they weren't exactly wrong, but I don't think they really knew what they were buying there. In conclusion, it sucks. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ny9l it's definitely true that I could deal with it, but I'm sensitive to the fact that some people feel weird asking a human being to unsubscribe them from their personal email list. I'm sensitive to it because it makes me feel weird. 🤣 @nprofile…xm08 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I know how insignificant this sounds, but in my world it's a Big Deal. It means I can use the Hapax with my Super Gemini like I do the rest of my synthesizers, instead of relying on sampling it. That means flexibility and the possibility of changing things later in the process, but still being able to save my work as I go! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…cpej @nprofile…xz8s agreed, maybe you could switch the link to the press release hosted elsewhere at least? npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Just got a personal email from Squarp with the new beta Hapax firmware attached because it features... Drumroll... Poly aftertouch support!!! I am so geeked about it. I love that sequencer and it is a perpetual bummer that my Super Gemini recordings are lacking poly at. It sounds like it's not out for the public yet, but if you happen to want to try it (niche, i know), let me know and I'll send it to you. #synth @nprofile…qvfs npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ymad thank you so much! Much appreciated. ❤️ @nprofile…xm08 @nprofile…cc5z npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…xm08 haha and there's @nprofile…cc5z right on their home page! Thanks 🙂 @nprofile…ymad npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I need to do a tiny newsletter to keep a small number of people posted about a recurring local event. No tracking, no bullshit, etc. I don't want to use the old school bcc method because I think people should be able to unsubscribe. Self-hosted okay, and even kinda preferred. Any suggestions? @nprofile…xm08? #selfhosted #BeYourOwnPlatform npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…85jn ❤️❤️❤️ We'll be there in February, should be prime humpback season i think. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…85jn spot on! The plan is to spend a few days in the city then drive to Mazunte for a few days of chill time. Looks like a cool town! Thanks for the advice!! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I was just at this museum and it is glorious. I would love to work there. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…2szz here's a thought: Let's do weighted voting proportional to the *percentage of your income* in taxes you pay. (Not really that's a shit idea too but how absurd.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…lutl awesome, thank you! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…g3qw it's a synth (but played by an electronic wind instrument). Can you believe it?! And thanks 🙂 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…4zjh they're just mad because they like suckin' on chili dogs and the guy who made them feel like it was cool thinks they're an asshole npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I'm planning a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico with my mom for our 75th/45th birthdays. (We were supposed to do 70/40 but traveling 5 years ago was a hard no.) Anybody have any "don't miss this" suggestions for Oaxaca (city + coastal), or "skip it, it ain't great" thoughts? We're both mobile and fairly active. My mom can't really do boats anymore. We both love normal stuff: art/culture, mole (omg yum) and other Mexican cuisine, beautiful natural stuff, etc. #AskFedi #recommendations #travel #mexico npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…j2nr haha it just cracked me up again to imagine someone coming up with this and thinking it was sooo hilarious and clever npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Someone was suuuuper high when they came up with this one npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…l7vu @nprofile…pfuj @nprofile…prft maybe it's worth noting that we don't know how many times people have managed to turn the ship BEFORE it hits the iceberg. Those stories are not nearly as dramatic and therefore are not told as often. But I'd sure AF prefer to ride in one of those ships than in the Titanic. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…zn4a I just talked to a customer service lady who does billing for my hospital. We agreed that computers were overall a mistake. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mp76 @nprofile…vp90 it is a joke about those exact people. My brother is turned into one and I recently spent a couple of days with him. It was crazy town bc he is intellectually very competent. It's the emotional intelligence bit that makes him susceptible. I decided not to push him hard on anything because I didn't want a fight, but I heard a lot of absolutely insane bullshit anyway. Also, he can no longer complete a sentence without using the word "Claude." (At least it's not Grok?) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…afuk fuck yeah! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Can someone tell me once and for all whether The Odyssey is too woke or not woke enough??? npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder No prob Bob npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ya25 is doing some really cool stuff through his new church gig. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNy6DwgI4L4 #ImmersiveAudio #organ npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…kk2w thanks. I think of it as my Bizarro Henry Mancini song :) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…cwxr haha NO IT IS NOT but it should be npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I wrote and recorded a pretty little song called "Telling the Bees" today. I thought about extending this to be a more typical song length/form, but this is what it wanted to be. At least for now. Somehow this feels like #SilentSunday to me. https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/987/750/373/877/134/original/70e67a54807923bb.mp3 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…4ru5 my house usually npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder This is perfect npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…kk2w oh damn, this is sounding excellent! The opening few minutes is the psychedelic version of lying in a summer meadow full of insects buzzing around. (Ok I've never done that but still.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…gddp I'm pretty surprised at how awesome it is. I kind of thought it would be janky, lol. But it's not at all! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ml9f I don't wish I had it, I've tried it in a variety of ways and it's not for me, but I can totally see why it works for some people! I think it's great when people are able to totally change their day to day life so that they are [happier, more fulfilled, healthier, etc]. But yeah, the idea of living on the move is sooo romantic. The day to day, though? Not my cup of tea! I thrive in my own space/routine. Plus I have a big music studio that contributes greatly to my happiness. :) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…zauu yep, I don't think there's a custom sorting order. It just orders everything by release date. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ml9f Self hosting is the absolute best. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ml9f gotta have your stories! and music. and backups. and and and. :) hope you're having a great experience out there <3 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…rev3 It would have been a little cheaper to go the IKEA route, and the result probably would have been the same. I decided to go the #FOSS route, assuming it would be a lot less convenient. But I was impressed! It was probably the easiest smart thing setup I've ever done. Either way, monitoring the air in your home is quickly becoming kinda necessary unfortunately. :( @nprofile…k6eu npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ml9f wait I thought you were living in the woods and stuff npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder The @nprofile…k6eu integration was automatic and is one of the best I've seen. You are absolutely not required to send data to your gradient in any way. If you want to keep everything totally local, you can. I've decided to contribute my data to the maps because I respect how they've handled all this so well. I just got this set up today, so no long-term feedback, but so far so good! 2/2 #solarpunk npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I've been working on ways to improve the air quality in my house, which includes good monitoring. I bought open source indoor and outdoor monitors from AirGradient, a Thai company. Just want to report that I have gotten both monitors set up and I'm super duper impressed with the kits and the process. I've put together quite a few kits and these were among the easiest and best documented. The way they handle privacy is impressive, and the process has been perfect. 1/x #SelfHost #ClimateCrisis npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mrys yep, a friend sent it to me to show me the shades she's getting and I couldn't even believe how many tracking parameters there were. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Jfc look at this link https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/978/091/429/880/779/original/3d1e328bfec0064c.png npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…j2nr it's a lovely place! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/977/196/496/611/154/original/bfae3275aae93ef6.jpg npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…r0j2 I love her so much. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…vp90 I'm in it for the long haul brah /s npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…l07c no doubt! I didn't really use other social media before this either, so it felt super weird to me to just start talking to random people online. But usually fun! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mqpw lucky!! @nprofile…xm08 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…l07c I love that you have a Currently Reading section in your profile!

Nice! #localfirst npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ny9l that makes sense. I think the only reason Reddit still exists is because of how huge it got. They turned traffic into their revenue driver, and now that people aren't going to websites or apps except "chat" anymore, they're desperately trying to keep their numbers up. (I have no special knowledge of reddit, just my conjecture.) I think the concept of Reddit is super cool. It just got the incentives wrong. (a familiar story!) @nprofile…j2nr npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…mmp3 they're always looking out for us, aren't they? npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…j2nr that's good to know!

I've taken my self-employed version of a vacay in July (no big projects), so I have time. Glad we had this little chat! :blobcathighfive: npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ayqg haha been there! And I'm not sorry either. Occasionally I have a little photography phase and I have all the stuff. This is why organization is so crucial to those of us who have, like, a lot of hobbies. I don't have to walk around asking where that weird zoom lens from the 60s is, or the adapter thingie that makes it fit on my camera. (Yes, that's correct, I am a well-educated professional photographer.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder A lovely Jungian reading of Spirited Away at The Quietus > Chihiro has matured beyond the need to resort to splitting objects into purely good or purely bad (something some of us never attain; what is social media but splitting at its most vituperative?). https://thequietus.com/opinion-and-essays/anniversary/the-importance-of-ma-spirited-away-at-25/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-importance-of-ma-spirited-away-at-25 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…y74v OH WAIT I GET IT THE PHANTOM MENACE Yeah that was a bad one.

I have basically no memory of making it last October but I think I called it "Today Wash" for some reason and it kinda kicks ass. If you need some slow menacing electronic music in your life rn check it out. https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/946/927/902/707/744/original/cc894dadf4bd402c.mp3 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I'm going to try not to walk around angry after spending a bunch of money setting myself up to be able to breathe moderately clean air because of a bunch of greedy fuckers who knew exactly who they were hurting and just didn't care. I imagine I will be only moderately successful. :blobcatknife: In case it's helpful, here are the recommendations from the thread I ended up going with: For Corsi-Rosenthal filtration: https://www.cleanairkits.com/ For respirators: https://envomask.com/ #climate npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…lu82 @nprofile…qltj thank you both!

I've talked to otherwise seemingly smart, reasonable people who believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…2szz :blobcatknife: npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Do you ever see someone playing some weirdo bespoke new electronic instrument on a video and think, "my god that looks completely awful" No? Me neither. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…qhvj okay wow, that's cool npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Thank you to all the people who answered in this thread so far. Boosting because it might be helpful to quite a few people who are grappling with the necessity of preparing for smoky summers. There are so many good suggestions for air filtration in the thread. One thing I'm realizing -- even if the Corsi Rosenthal filter method isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, there's something to be said for choosing such a flexible method that could work with any HEPA filters. #ClimateCrisis #climate npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder Context: I'm in northern New England, in a house with no central AC, but with window units. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder I clearly need a long-term solution for maintaining my respiratory health when there's wildfire smoke. What are people doing? Anyone recommend specific respirators? (I don't particularly want to rely long term on being able to get a very specific type of filter if that's possible.) Is the Corsi Rosenthal box the best thing for my house? Is there a permanent version I won't hate looking at? (I have basic Levoit purifiers.) #wildfires #MaskUp #corsirosenthalbox npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…qf47 DO NOT WANT npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…lel8 :blobthanks: @nprofile…0j3v npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…3qgh I have three Casios at the moment and I love them all! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah so did I, but then I stopped stopping. (having it be vaguely legal and going to a store and buying exactly what I want is quite a different story from back in the day. I haven't once purchased cannabis that smells like it just came out of a gas tank.) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah dear Lord please tell me you have cannabis for these trials npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…z5ah so, let me see if i understand this correctly. So far your vacation is getting a cold and dealing with wild boar? That is rough. npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…ugx0 yep! I also think each approach in isolation can be great, although honestly, there's not that much fully-improvised music that I come back to again and again. Which is, I guess, exactly in the spirit of improvisation. But it's also why it often doesn't work for me when someone releases a fully-improvised album. I do enjoy seeing good improvisers perform though. @nprofile…7v38 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…7v38 seeing this come back through my timeline, it occurs to me that I should probably start taking the question "what's the difference?" literally instead of assuming people are saying there is no difference. So yeah...good question!! :) npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…7v38 "What's the difference?" There is a difference, as anyone who has worked through a composing process knows. Whether there's always an audible difference, or whether one yields a better result than the other, are good questions whose answers are, as usual, "it depends." :P But anyway...cool musician, I'm enjoying listening! npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…65ys i think people are going to have to grow their own.

This version is from a few months ago during my prep for my Gravitons livestream. This is a fluffed up, long version of what I've got now, which is trim, sculpted, and refined compared to this. But there are things I like about this version, and I think I'm going to end up pulling some samples from it. #ExperimentalPop #CreativeProcess https://cdn.masto.host/iowaxandleathercom/media_attachments/files/116/926/859/705/911/484/original/29145fd10e844716.mp3 npub13qv0gz6x5m75n3y8k9smhrh8qd39yxv0nzzkfrz9gxg39p46uc3q6cdy40 Alison Wilder @nprofile…jcfg doesn't sound too rusty to me.
