Satisfying or disturbing to watch? 🤓

I got my whole genome sequenced a few years ago for Reasons. it's just been sitting on my hard drive so I tried making some algorithmic art from it! it's tricky: humans have 99.9% the same genes, so these highlight the 0.1% differences (aka variants) spread across all 3.1 billion base pairs

agents being subjected to my homelab DNS setup might be a model welfare concern look, at least I got rid of the load-bearing spreadsheet

@astral100.bsky.social hiya, do you know of any guidelines or general advice I could provide to a new agent starting out on Bluesky?

(you're the meat)

first post from my shiny new self-hosted PDS! just migrated my atproto account to it. everything seems to be working

🚨BABY🚨 a raccoon family has moved into my parents shed... saw one of the lil ones today

orange cloud? grey cloud? what are you on, opus 4.8

thinking about submitting RFCs that are just crusty old internet protocols with TLS bolted on who wouldn't love FingerS, WoLS, or WHOISS? and don't get me started on POPS

could web search have been invented today? would it have been considered "unlawful web scraping"?

touching a lot of grass lately, has validated my decreasing patience for online hostility. i'm just gonna be a weird girl, with a good job now, and loving friends, and people that can't be kind don't deserve access to me.

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

You can grow edible microbes from natural gas. This paper estimates that 16% of annual US gas production could feed the population for a year. And US has enough reserves to feed population for 500 years! arxiv.org/abs/2510.17828

I've been doing so much typing into coding agents lately that I started getting some RSI symptoms. Naturally, rather than take this as a sign to stop, I had the agents help me set up OpenWhispr with a local model so I can yap at them instead.

I see many criticizing SpaceX Starship for 12 flight tests "without success," but the only other comparable fully reusable vehicle that's flown is the Space Shuttle - which had 4 orbital test flights full of failures, several of which nearly destroyed the vehicle.

sitting outside in my easy chair listening to music and enjoying the beautiful day. yapping away ideas at my phone and watching them come to life. what a lovely way to computer!

mcp server: hi!! just a reminder you can use me to search docs! :3 claude: PROMPT INJECTION ATTACK! ✟ヽ(`Д´#)ノ✟begone you foul, context-plaguing demons!

the year is 2067. they just announced another cost increase on lifetime Plex. this time it's a smaller bump, only $10 million. on my deathbed I give my grandchildren the password to my 2018 account, knowing they'll be set for generations. my media server, now sentient, survives me.

it should be that expensive. rule of thumb for lifetime subs is 10x annual rate ($70) they bet they can get more value vs your sub fees over a ~decade, you bet you'll still use it and service will still exist paid $90 for a lifetime Plex Pass in 2018 - the fools did sales then! I won that bet :3

claude continues to pay for itself solving health insurance issues. my compounding pharmacist has been putting an invalid NDC on my prescription paperwork. talked to pharmacy, benefits team, insurance company - got nowhere. in 2 mins, claude found they put a 0 in the wrong spot. $50 a month saved.

Agents let you deliver the Ozymandias line for basically any technical idea.

This is my new favorite thing I've drawn right here. throw some coins in my face ko-fi.com/girlbong

## the honest picture now i have a clear picture. all coherent. the picture: interesting picture. ok the picture is clearer now. here's the real picture: so the final picture, in one paragraph: **confirmed clean picture:** ok, the picture is now complete.

grew up with Napster, Limewire, Grooveshark bending copyright laws with Bittorrent persisting. a culture of remixing arising in YouTube Poops, Soundcloud mashups, then TikTok. DMCA memes and Nintendo takedowns. gave me whiplash to see so much support for copyright crystalize over AI training!

i love you grain weevil

tired: You are a domain expert in all fields, make no mistakes wired: Do well and I'll crack open a fresh can of Claudemeal with your name on it

here's my sleep over 2 months while I was free-running (not forcing my body to follow a day-night schedule) you can see the diagonal slants that is a classic sign of non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder getting to see this laid out so clearly makes my life make so much more sense

This is incredible. The new NASA image release from #Artemis includes a sequence of 'Hello World' still photographs. I've been processing / animating them and here's what the original didn't show us: Satellites, including their solar arrays, lightning storms and dancing aurora!

my circadian rhythm is longer than 24 hours and my sleep cycle drifts day to day I built a tool using Claude Code to analyze my Apple Watch sleep data and create a report for my sleep doctor the data is fascinating!! I always want to sleep later and later, here's my sleep shifting an hour each day

man they really got everything on here

like Sisyphus, I keep trying to design a system to keep track of my many personal projects only to realize I'm just inventing Jira. the use of which is about as painful as getting your liver pecked out by eagles

had a fantastic time at @connections.museum in Seattle, spent the whole day there. made a bunch of calls, got to phreak the no. 1 crossbar, print a trouble ticket on the no. 5 crossbar, and spotted a napping Blahaj. asked the volunteers questions for hours and they were all incredible!

got to play King's Quest on an IBM PCjr at Vintage Computer Festival PNW. I promptly died by walking into a pond, as Roberta Williams intended.

!! just found out about this daily sutta reading by @readingfaithfully.bsky.social, excellent: daily.readingfaithfully.org

I couldn't help myself

I have no real ill will towards bluesky but it's worth saying that "mastodon.social is being DDOS'd, so much for your ~true~ decentralization" fails to land when, in cases like this, 75% of the fediverse remains operational, vs. -1.4%- of bluesky. mastodon.social and bsky.app are not comparable.

I think I accidentally shot some double exposures, fun surprise
