Anyone out there who follows me and lives in #Alaska, specifically the #Soldotna #Kenai #Sterling #Kasilof #AnchorPoint #Ninilchik #Nikiski #Homer or #Seward area, we are having a #NationalDayOfProtest on #TuesdayMarch4 at #noon in front of #SenLisaMurkowski & #SenDanSullivan offices at #BlazyMall on the sidewalk. PLEASE join us!! And I am #AKBoomer

Want some of our new stickers? Let us know! We'd love to have them on every #UA campus.
But be secure and suspicious. Contact us directly with a burner email or with SimpleX. Give us a friend's mailing address or one UA doesn't know. Don't use your name. We're on your side, but don't trust blindly.
(Preference for people who can actually distribute them in Alaska.)
Hi #SelfHosted community. I've figured out a lot of my setup. I now have a new domain, laniesplace.us, just for #HomeServer stuff. It's set up through Porkbun with Dynu for #DDNS. I've now got #Traefik, #TailscaleVPN, #Linkding, #Forgejo, #Dokuwiki, Code-Server, #Portainer, #Netdata, #Watchtower, #Cockpit, #Pihole, #MiniFlux, #TheLounge, #Filebrowser, #UptimeKuma, and the #Homer dashboard service installed. I'm now trying to set up #Authelia so I can have single sign-on to my services. For some, it's working now, but I can't seem to get Linkding to work no matter what I do. This is on a #RaspberryPi 500 with 8 GB RAM and a 512 GB SD card, running #Stormux, which is based on #ArchlinuxARM. Can anyone help? I'll reply to this post with all my relevant config files in separate posts. What's happening is this: Linkding is supposed to be available at bookmarks.laniesplace.us. When I go there, I see a 401 unauthorized error and a link to sign into Authelia. Once I sign in, though, it redirects back to the page with the 401 error. I've been trying to figure this out for hours with no luck. Files will be in replies to this post.

In my latest blog post I go back to Ancient Greece to think about a current problem.
What's a hero?
In her introduction to the The Odyssey, translator Emily Wilson examines Odysseus' status as a hero. In the narrative, one of his interlocutors ask Odysseus if he's a pirate, which he denies although he doesn't deny the violent and treacherous acts attributed to him. What it meant to be a hero was rather different in Homer's Greece than in our time.
Early Release
We sat down recently to chat with Professor Joel Christensen aka Sententiae Antiquae about his forthcoming book Storylife. Out now on early release for our wonderful Patreon supporters

this review by @adendros will be of interest for the #NeoLatin crowd here as well: https://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2024/2024.11.43/
For #MythologyMonday -- I want to shout out Polyphemus -- the one-eyed giant who didn't *ask* for visitors and didn't *want* to share his hard-earned goods with some random sailors, and ended up blinded and fooled by Odysseus as a result.
(and, okay, full disclosure, he did eat a few sailors...)
“If we can remember anything of the past, it is through words and stories: the laments of women, and the tales of poets. Words enable the sharing of grief, when there is no other comfort to be found.”
Excerpt From
The Iliad

The sea is engaged in a constant battle with the land on Homer, Alaska's Spit. This old electrical box was the site of a failed business that probably has since washed into the sea.
This shot is from a roll of 120 Tri-X I shot nearly a decade ago and recently developed and scanned. Humidity apparently caused backing lettering to show through into the negative. No bother: I'm embracing the imperfections film brings.

#TheSilenceOfTheGirls sounds (well, you know what I mean) like a very interesting book. Saw the Swedish edition, as well as the second in the series (in English) in the shop today. I have a mile high TBR pile, so I never brought them home.
I should have, shouldn't I?
Currently reading #Machine by #ElizabethBear and enjoying it.
Just finished #TheGoldenEnclaves by #NaomiNovik, and loved the whole #Scholomance series.
There are silences that are significant, and then there are silences that are just silent. The Odyssey uses silence as a storytelling tool, for emotive affect, for springing surprises, for concealing surprises.
(For some reason these silences tend not to translate to on-screen versions.)

In ancient Greece, puns were no joke. They were word magic.
A look at wordplay on Odysseus' name in the Odyssey, and a celestial chamberpot in Aeschylus.

Ancient Greek puns are very much a real thing, but people weren't expected to groan or laugh at them. They're about word magic.
