Muting DJI Neo 2 Speaker
The DJI‘s Neo 2‘s onboard speaker is one obnoxiously loud piece. So I opened it
up, unplugged the speaker cable from the main board, and snipped off the loose
wire and now it’s blissfully silent (except the little startup music that plays
out of the motors!).

5 star reads of 2025 worth mentioning
Someone has asked recently on a toot for others to share their ‘list of 2025 books’. Instead of pointing out to the list of what I’ve read, I’ll instead mention a few ‘5 star’ books I’ve read in 2025 that I think is worth pointing out towards.
By no particular order (well, the order in the photo, really…)
- AJ Pearce’s “Yours Cheerfully” and “Mrs Porter Calling”, books 2 and 3 of The Emmy Lake Chronicles. I’d already read the first book in the series and considered it a five stars read, and I plan to eventually read the fourth and last book in the series - the paperback edition is out next August. This isn’t a deep or profound book series - and doesn’t need to be in order to be a good one. It’s a series depicting the life of a young woman in war-time London. Each of these books made me cry and made me laugh, and I have found some comfort reading them in a time where, in many aspects, it feels like we’re living in a pre-war era…

#MaradoWeekly #WeeklyShirt Week 01
After an year of posting a #WeeklyRecord (2024) and another a #WeeklyPlant (2025), in 2026 I plan to post a weekly t-shirt: and encourage you to do the same!
Like with the records and the plants, these aren’t my favorite t-shirts or need to be important, or meaningful, and there aren’t there any rules. Why t-shirts? Well, as time passes a person collects t-shirts: sometimes we bought them for a reason (like this first one), others we got on conferences or festivals, maybe they are from a favorite band… in a way, many of this shirts end up telling a story. And I do have more t-shirts than an year has weeks, so I hope I won’t have to repeat any! 😇
Usually I keep my Weekly photos text-free or explanation free, with some insights on their alt text.
Mu (µ) is coming along really nicely 🤣 Few things left to do (in order):
- Finish the concurrency support.
- Add support for sockets
- Add support for

Discos em 2025:
Quando defini que ia comprar apenas 12 discos em 2025, achava que estava a ser muito exigente. Afinal, acabei por só comprar 7 (ainda que a minha wishlist tenha crescido). O “concerto do ano” para mim foi Marilyn Manson em Lisboa, e durante o ano ouvi 386 discos da minha coleção - o que também significa que ainda não a acabei de organizar. Dos discos lançados em 2025, há menções muito especiais para dois que incluem música feita por mim: idiossINcracias vol. I, que é um disco entre o meu projecto #kokori e Floating Ashes, e 25.12, que é uma compilação onde kokori também participou com uma faixa. Três discos que comprei são de Marilyn Manson, um oficial e dois bootlegs, e o oficial (o single “In The Air Tonight”) não foi o mais interessante dos três, mas sim o “I Want To Kill You Like They Do In The Movies”, disco duplo de lados B. O IdiossINcrasias vol. 2 tem uma excelente participação de Casa Ukrania, de quem também comprei um disco. 20 anos depois do lançamento do “Clear Hearts Grey Flowers” de Jack Off Jill, foi re-editado com um lado extra ao vivo, onde se pode ouvir-me a cantar os parabéns à Jessicka (com toda a audiência). Quanto ao streaming, parece que ouvi 689 artistas diferentes, 53% deles pela primeira vez. E tenho um novo tote bag!

Duas décadas. Faz hoje 20 anos - uma vida - que “Crash”, o meu segundo disco a solo, foi lançado. Um disco que fala do fim de uma vida mas também do ser partido em cacos que renasce do fim. Quase apenas coincidentemente, o disco foi gravado entre o fim da minha vida em Coimbra e o início da minha vida na “Grande Lisboa”, com tudo o que mudou com isso. O fim era o início, o disco tanto testemunho como promessa. O lançamento foi feito em Carnaxide, no meu aniversário e na noite mais longa do ano. Duas décadas - vivi uma vida inteira desde então. Há ultimamente cada vez mais coisas que acontecem ou que relembro e tenho aquele sentimento de “nem dá para acreditar que já passou tanto tempo.” Surpreendeu-me notar que o mesmo não me acontece com Crash. Não passou “demasiado tempo”, passou o tempo que tinha que passar, para que eu pudesse ter vivido a vida que vivi nos últimos vinte anos, em muitos aspectos uma “vida nova”. Crash fica assim como uma autobiografia, ou um autorretrato; uma ilustração daquilo que era #Merankorii, daquilo que era eu até então. Ouço-o hoje não com saudosismo mas com a serena convicção que fiz bem em tirar aquele retrato, lançar o registo que fiz. E talvez essa serenidade que o disco me dá também me sirva para olhar com mais vontade para os vinte anos que o futuro nos reservará.
O #Menestrel deste mês é sobre álbuns que contam uma história. O mês começou depois de um concerto que terminou com a “Coma White”, e que me levou a escolher essa música para a #musiquinta seguinte, pensei escolher o álbum de onde essa música saiu (Mechanical Animals) para o menestrel. Mas nem para contar a história de Coma, a personagem dessa música, me bastaria pegar só nesse álbum, e a história dele está intrinsecamente ligada com o resto do tríptice. Quando foi publicado pela primeira vez, Mechanical Animals era para ser entendido como uma sequela, mas mais tarde passou a prequela, uma história contada em três actos, começando do fim (com Antichrist Superstar, passando pelo Mechanical Animals) para o princípio (com Holy Wood). Mas o menestrel não é para tríptices, é para álbuns… e se vamos pegar nesta história, então o álbum que temos de escolher é o ACSS, o primeiro (lançado em 1996), o princípio e o fim, e um álbum que conta uma história por si só.
ACSS é tem um protagonista, “The Worm”, um fraco entre os fortes, pobre entre ricos, feio ente bonitos. Na sua revolta contra o poder, ele torna-se num carismático demagogo, acabando por se tornar num adorado ídolo de revolta… apenas para se tornar naquilo que inicialmente o revoltava. (Este resumo não faz justiça à história, mas é quanto cabe num toot.)

Só quem não ouviu falar do processo de obtenção, manutenção ou renovação dos atestados é que não sabe o quão mau o sistema é. Parece ser by design: se metermos uma pessoa com um grau de #invalidez superior a 60% a ter de saltar aros, com deslocações processos burocráticos e pouco transparentes para “manter o papelinho” estamos a incentivar as pessoas a não reclamar e exercer os seus direitos. E quem disser que “ah, se precisassem deles não abdicariam” é porque não sabem bem o que é ser idoso com invalidez (talvez de cadeira de rodas, talvez cego ou surdo) sem acesso à Internet para obter informação e sem carro para transporte, ter de andar às voltinhas de capela em capela para ir buscar certificado, marcar exames, e sabe-se lá mais o quê. Parece ser by design e até pode não ser, mas o que claramente é, é desumano, e hipócrita. Desumano porque não se está a dar as condições na prática a quem pode e deve ter direito a ter uma vida condigna; hipócrita porque até se diz que sim, que os deve ter na teoria, e fica bem nos cartazes dizer “nós cuidamos dos nossos!” mas depois quando chega ao momento de cuidar manda-los ir para a fila tratar do papel, assim como que num sketch dos gato fedorento.
