There's not really a difference between consensus and centralized. The mechanism may be distributed, but coordination at scale is one system. Interlinked.

Slowly chipping away at app level sandboxes for my desktop module. https://git.gay/tomo/tomo-la-tierra/pulls/13 #theWorkshop I think the design here is quite nice. I've largely ripped off the firejail module, except that Tierra uses programs.<name>.package as the wrapper input + a sandbox […]

I'm an android or cyborg in the sense that i can't function in capitalist hell society without a computer to help me calculate exactly which bullshit I have to deal with on which day. I also use computer to keep track of those special numbers that decide how much dignity I'm allowed to have. I […]

After doing a deep dive into TESCREAL transhumanism seems kinda gross to me. Which isn't to say that a concept can't transcend its roots, but "inspired by eugenics" is not a good look lol

Day 16 of the amazing #decemberadventure Ive been using MPD as my music player for a while, and I finally decided to write my own client in #uxn! I am planing to have the app have a Windows-95 looking interface once its done! I got polling of the last song and […] [Original post on wetdry.world]

Like, hell, we should be working towards a world where inventing a machine to take over our jobs is both realistic, worth celebrating, and part of building a better world for our children and niblings. I'm genuinely more pissed off that people spend so much energy complaining about this that […]

I love a small, well crafted operating system. But I'll be damned if I do anything *because of* AI or any other random nonsense that pops us. Being reactive doesn't lead to any kind of good or interesting place. I'm gonna sit here and I'm going to keep reflecting on the kinda shit I want to see […]

I'm not pro AI by any means, but the whole AI is/has cooties complaining threads thing is getting old. Post about stuff you're doing pls and thx 😊

I can understand why old world folks don't really get the American stuff. Y'all are too far away to experience the ingredients with their food culture. That's also why I can never leave the vicinity of Mexico and the Salvadoran diaspora. My core foods would be extremely challenging to make […]

Olo, is that you??

I hope some day Mastodon learns to accept markdown.

Finally got around to making my posts page gemini sub compliant. This marks the first time I'm using a full size programming language for my static site generator in a long time. And my first time doing so from scratch! Not to dunk on 9 rc and ish too much, I had a lot of fun generating gemtext […]

I'm still dreaming of running some of my homelab directly on solar panels, but my very small apartment only has a small balcony so we'll see if that's even possible. Maybe I just need one more ARM SoC..

Everyone is like oh yeah I'll implement lisp in sed, pero por why nobody is writing sed in lisp? Wtf y'all??

Seriously looking into flashing OpenWRT onto my ER-X since the last firmware upgrade. #Liminix would be even better, but I don't have a spare to test with and it would be a new hardware target. #thefoundary#liminix I'll have to look at my budget, maybe I can replace my main router with one of the […]

thinking about branding "tomo la tierra" as "LixOS for egirls"

alright, here it goes! today I'm soft launching the #tomo project. You you may have seen El Fuego before or Agua more recently. I'm setting up this project so I can be professional about managing releases for Tierra. For the foreseeable future, it'll just be settings and an installer on top of […]

The Black Panther Party was founded #onthisday in 1966. From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary: "The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...] Second, the BPP offers […]

I'm still not making a linux distribution, but I'm probably going to release a plasma desktop flake sometime around December. Nothing super special, but a useful exercise for thinking about layers of configuration, what's friendly to users, &c. Most of the apps will be managed in Discover using […]

[pol / framework / dhh] Something to consider with all of this boycott framework posting going around. I'm not saying you should buy a Framework, but if you want to oppose the far right you need to get organized. You need an objective, otherwise your […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

I visited this very pretty courtyard in El Salvador when I was there earlier this month. I loved being there with family, but I hate air travel. The Airbus was nicer than the Boeing I'm used to, but I just don't enjoy the whole process.

I don't really need another keyboard, much less one with an fpga inside, but damn do i want one https://github.com/lsartory/Clavier

[software / pol] Its embarrassing to admit, but suckless was nazis too and a lot of folks used it anyway. Personally, I wasn't paying attention nor did I interact with the community at all. I just wanted to use a cool unixporn desktop. Hyprland is higher profile and has sponsors, but I wonder […]

My motto when it comes to #nix and especially flakes is "just enough magic to take away the tedium". The only thing a flake really needs to do is track inputs, but it easily turns into a mess of mapping random shit onto the output schema.

Trying out ghostty since these GPU accelerated terminals are in vogue lately. I set it up with starlight (by @toast) and `home-manager` using the provided module. I can probably customize it more, but the mostly defaults are honestly fine. I've been on KDE […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

I'm a brain coder by trade actually, I wield the vibes by command of my worklord.

I'm excited to start doing some graphics programming in scheme. I feel like I'm late to the game with opengl, but it seems like the easiest path for me atm. It'll just be toys 🧸, but I want to build more ambitious things once I know what I'm doing. One I've been thinking about a lot is […]

[nix/nixos meta] of course the MIC loves nixos, but that's why we can't leave this space. that would mean ceding a clearly valuable asset to the MIC. we have lix going for us, but there's still a lot of capabilities locked inside of nixpkgs.

I worry about current events as much as the next person, but I can guarantee that you'll feel better if you go outside and join in some kind of political organizing. I'm a queer latina, I'm a target, but I feel much safer when I'm in contact with a bunch of politically active folks than when I'm […]

Making that blue cornbread today 😋 #theGalley

I haven't had the motivation to finish my PR into nixpkgs Maybe next month

Ah ye I remember hanging out on gridchat a bit back when I was hacking on inferno. I'm gonna put a note to write some gridchat stuff for tomo el agua once the foundations are done.

I moved my Gemini server to a host that uses much less energy and is always online (an old laptop)! I haven't updated my pages in a while, but I'm a lot more motivated to do that now that the pages are actually accessible! gemini://sunshinegardens.org/~xjix/ I haven't blogged about my proxy […]

> The main objective of the IISCV (Lisp-based Version Control System) project is to "revive the image-based software development paradigm, inherent to Lisp, and adapt it with a layer of internal and external auditability. Oh wow that's neat! https://github.com/gassechen/iiscv

I'm using ungoogled-chromium and wayland/cage rn to display a home-assistant dashboard. Does anyone have an alternative browser with no chrome that they like to use? Running `chromium --app` works fine, but I'd like to use something more lite if possible. #askfedi

Currently dreaming about federated search infrastructure built around searxes searching searxes. Using meta search to query random search engines is one thing, but serving custom results from your local services and sharing with your friends is quite another. No need to imagine a new search […]

My 2GB `sacrifice.txt` file saves the day again by unblocking my database so I can run maintenance tasks

[pol] I know a wrinkle in time is anti soviet, but i always read it as anti colonialism. Colonizers have always demanded extreme conformity and subservience. From my perspective, western colonization and western culture are based in conformity more than they are personal liberty. Unless your […]

I've got to say, I'm pretty happy with my little nix setup. I have a few more milestones to knock out, but I'm almost ready to write some blogs about the experience and propose my concept of a "no framework" nix framework for micro cloud computing. I did a bunch of research on these types of […]

Damn girl are you a construction worker?

There is no universe where I can enrich my relationships with my neighbors by engaging with Twitter-but-GNU. Inscribe this on your eyelids, that you might stay woke even while you sleep: YOU CANNOT SOLVE A SOCIAL PROBLEM WITH SOFTWARE

Allspice? You mean sweet peppercorn? #theGalley

I think 🤔 that I'm going to switch to Emacs. I won't give up on my evil ways, but I have little interest in learning vimscript. I suppose I could learn Lua, but vim has not been the ideal tool for working on my lisp projects so 🤷 🤔 😅 it's probably time to make the jump

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE: A SUMMER SCHOOL FOR #socialism https://peoplesforum.org/events/29369/

Something I've found building a 'retro internet service' is the absolute culture gap with younger people (early 20's) They find the project interesting but then get anxious asking "okay but what can I contribute". Like they need to "hustle" or "prove their worth to be here" I have to explain […]
