i love the feeling of not understanding something while writing rust, and then slowing down into the rabbit hole to understand it

mycology often feels to me like a type of queer love -- learning to know and understand and care for strange beings with needs both entirely different and similar to ones own

was radicalized by @cblgh that there is no layer of the stack that is separate from “ux” because if code is difficult to change or maintain, the *users* are not going to enjoy the *experience* of the software becoming out of date & unmaintained over time and unresponsive to feature requests

is there any website/e-mail list listing any and all tech job postings from not siliconvalley/VC tech organizations? or something similar?

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This document radicalized me.

the bug oscillates between being a puzzle and a punishment depending on sunlight, caffeine, air temperature and a variety of other factors

at the gym, various machines and instruments, no clear directive exactly what you are supposed to be doing here, tens of people moving around doing various things, no explanation needed, if there is a common denominator it is a secret

the gay impulse to go to the gym during off-hours to make still life drawings of the equipment

is this platform still massively against labubu or has it moved more towards acceptance?

is this platform still massively into methamphetamine or has it moved more towards acceptance?

sometimes feels like silicon valley has never read wittgenstein arxiv.org/abs/2511.15304

for who it may concern: was trying to use filen for a while for encrypted cloud backups, but then it stopped syncing. switching to borgbase now for my laptop

gateway co-op remains unaffected by the cloudflare outage

is there a service anyone likes where you can easily buy phone numbers with monero? ideally can also use the number in your browser and not have to ensure your phone is secure this seems like the necessary workaround for all the surveillance services that bottom out to requiring a phone number

dreaming of permacomputing software that is so simply designed and bug-free that it quietly supports system administrators to not think about it, to sleep at night, to think about other things, like a healthy microbiome invisibly supporting digestion or support from the ancestors

One must imagine a Linux user happy

RIP Baudrillard you would have loved this shit

wondering about "terminal-emulators" / "permacomputing-graphical-application-frameworks" thats can run tuis and terminal programs, but also can run programs that have fewer weird keyboard/mouse quirks than tuis and support images... like i sort of love tuis but they also seem deranged

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages. codeberg.org/actinomy/ser...

gateway co-op remained unaffected by the aws outage

is anyone following any archiving projects of journalists and social media from gaza? like of Saleh al-Jafarawi <3

gave a guest lecture for @sfpc.study and one of my revolutionaries was in the audience 🥲 what a well-rounded stepper & thank you @notplants.bsky.social for the opportunity to share!

was in a music rut and tired of my music, and funny that simply asking a friend for music relieved it also cooking a recipe from a friend ask a friend is such a beautifully simple practice for shaking things up

computer, uncrash program

if you can say “tailscale funnel and cloudflare tunnel” five times fast, without thinking of the edward snowden “ssl added and removed here!” meme, then you don’t need gateway co-op gateway.commoninternet.net

The ideal the solution is infallible mods, trained from birth to always make the correct decision. The only advantage of decentralization is that it's easier to implement than that.

TL; DR In the next 5 business days you should be able to go to Link's page on blacksky.community and see his posts and he'll be able to post but people using the bsky mobile apps won't see it. After that we'll get Blacksky-only posts up. After that we can talk about purging bsky mod tools fin/11

anyone have a tui they like that closely mirrors the interface of simplenote?

canalswans.substack.... > There are researchers, theorists and practicioners, but to some degree none of them really no one what’s happening on the internet, they just have a best guess.

would love to see a data visualization of the first time I heard each different word over my lifetime / the frequency with which that word appeared (metaphysically recorded, not via actual data)

funny how caffeine (or anything effecting mood) causes me to move around the kitchen in slightly different patterns

an obsession with superficial notions of efficiency is arguably one of the root problems in our society, but that aside there is a part of me that enjoys funny and quirky/efficient double uses of space and time (clothes drawer is base of standing desk, going running while the rice cooker is going)

wish signal added a feature where you could set a disappearing time for a particular message after sending it, feel like i would prefer that ux for most use cases

successfully renewing a tls certificate on a home server via tls-passthrough feels magic and enjoyable to me each time, even though its now worked reliably tens of times in a row over months

started using standing desk frequently on one leg in tree pose (not as an exercise, just feels nice)

phoneless meetings are a great and accessible security practice as well as a nice way to hang out anyway

this morning dreaming of a brutalist coffee shop to work at, big slabs of concrete to work at, nothing is cute, there is no music

i do not like low trust society and would prefer a high trust society. this appears to require making society trustworthy

annoyed that atproto depends on dns, and dns is such a clear vector of censorship that seems likely to continue to be used more frequently altho i guess browsers etc with alternative dns resolvers, or even dns-over-tor, is a pretty straightforward workaround, but i think not currently mainstream

i'm interested in this bsky.app/profile/jack...

working at my coworking space (the libary), taking calls in the call room (outside on the sidewalk)

there are so many modalities of medicine that it seems like one could spend a lifetime trying different things to treat a mysterious condition, which is both encouraging, discouraging, poignant and funny

dude, holy shit

currently working on setting up a local-only local network PDS for an experiment and curious if anyone has any tips? for example, after the PDS is running, are there any local clients you can configure to read directly from the PDS? thanks for any leads

Invisible ink, key cryptography, hosting, probing state surveillance mechanisms, and other acts of care... read the Advanced Secret Keepers dispatch written by Seldom Chen, where she reflects on privacy and intimacy in the context of her class: sfpc.study/blog/advance...

Hypha members are working alongside @iame.li‬ and ‪@iroh.computer on Streamplace. More here on what we're building and how it'll work buff.ly/xqpYeZ8

rewarding my microwave by letting it heat up a fork as a treat

a couple months ago, I wrote a guide on "How To Make Firefox More Efficient On An Old Computer Using AutoTabDiscard" and added it to the permacomputing wiki the guide is here: http://permacomputin...
