YouTube Earnings for Brick Experiment Channel
How much money I have made with my Lego YouTube channel? Let’s go through the YouTube Analytics. Whether you’re a colleague or an aspiring Youtuber, you may find this information valuable.
I find this information more than valuable; I find it mindblowing.
Lists in Mastodon
From Mike Masnick in Techdirt, on lists in Mastodon:
There are some limitations to lists. Currently, (unlike Twitter) there really isn’t a way to make your list “public” or to share it. You can export the list as a CSV and in theory share that, but it’s much more complicated than Twitter’s ability to make a list public and have other people follow it. Also, I’ve seen a number of people complain that (again, unlike Twitter) you can’t add users to lists who you don’t follow. I’ve never used that feature on Twitter myself as the people I put on lists are always people I already follow, but some people like to do that to keep tabs on certain people/topics without having to “follow” them in their main feed.
I have seen many ”Mastodon Tips and Tricks“ articles like this in my feeds and mostly dismissed them, but this one delivered. Lists are one of the Twitter features I use the most (about ten private lists of accounts I follow and don’t follow). Ivory for iOS just added list support, and I didn’t understand how they work in Mastodon.
Lists being inherently private is my preference, but only being able to add accounts you follow to lists is interesting. Usually, the accounts I don’t follow that end up in my private lists are there for their expertise on a topic. I’m not too concerned about those accounts appearing in my “main feed” because my default view is my private list: The A-List.
I appreciate the different design decisions between Mastodon and Twitter because it makes me think intentionally about how I want to use them. In almost all cases, Mastodon has the superior design for what I want.
Customizing the NixOS Installer
From Brian McGee’s Blog:
By using the install-iso format in NixOS Generators we can customise the installer with our own nixpkgs and nixos modules. This can then be built (assuming flakes) with nix build .#sd-image and the resulting iso found in ./result/iso/... flashed to a USB drive.
This is a promising way to perform an air-gapped NixOS installation.
🥃 Playing Card Method
As an experiment, I’m organizing my 2023 into 13 three-week periods, each followed by a one-week break. This idea came about while thinking about planners and the new year.
This structure is interesting because 13 x (3 + 1) = 52, which is both the number of weeks in a year and the number of playing cards in a standard deck.
Each card in the deck could represent a week, but I will use one suit per year and have each card in the suit represent a period. Using one suit per year allows each suit [♠️,♥️,♦️,♣️] to express a Yearly Theme, as regularly discussed on Cortex.
Periods for 2023
For 2023, I selected ♥️, so the year breaks down like this:
A♥️: 01/02/2023–01/20/2023
2♥️: 01/30/2023–02/17/2023
3♥️: 02/27/2023–03/17/2023
4♥️: 03/27/2023–04/14/2023
5♥️: 04/24/2023–05/12/2023
6♥️: 05/22/2023–06/09/2023
7♥️: 06/19/2023–07/07/2023
8♥️: 07/17/2023–08/04/2023
9♥️: 08/14/2023–09/01/2023
T♥️: 09/11/2023–09/29/2023
J♥️: 10/09/2023–10/27/2023
Q♥️: 11/06/2023–11/24/2023
K♥️: 12/04/2023–12/22/2023
A Discovery and an Observation
From the Nomenclature section on Wikipedia:
Tens may be either abbreviated to T or written as 10.
Using T to represent a Ten is nice because I can use two characters to represent each period. Another nicety is beginning the year with an Ace — it’s like starting out already on top.
Reflection
Hopefully, this system will be helpful. Because I was not planning on having a planning system, this may be a case of “easily imagined, easily forgotten.”
Another fun consideration is that while I know what ♥️ means to me, I have a whole year to think about what ♠️, ♦️, and ♣️ will represent.

Typography in Severance
The hit Apple TV+ series Severance has its own wiki, which includes a page on the show’s typography. I can’t tell if Manifold Extended is creepy on its own or if it’s getting a boost from Severance.
No, Google Did Not Hike the Price of a .dev Domain
Andrew Ayer explains different domain name purchasing scenarios and what each means for the domain’s initial and renewal prices. Unfortunately, I read this the day after buying we.bz.
