Found this amazing patcher today that lets you use later models for AX88772 ethernet adapters (mine is B). Was worried I wasted money on this as model B wasn't advertised. God bless open source. https://github.com/doworian/vWii-Ethernet-Patcher #wii #wiiu #nintendo #nintendont #gamingonlinux […]

Still looking for a new home for PeerTube #fediverse #peertube

Cloned the original PPSSPP Adhoc Server and updated the Alpine base and added support for aemu_postoffice and metrics. This fork has an allowlist feature that's for Phantasy Star Games only, but can easily be modified to fit your own allowlist (or remove the feature entirely) […]

I am not at very impressed with Devin Townsend's The Moth. The music is obviously next level in terms of whats required to perform it- but it's way too showy and boring. The lead-in single, which I loved when I first heard it, is the best track on the record. Still need to listen to The […]

If you are looking for work and get asked to do a technical assessment of some private GitHub repo- chances are you're being targeted by malicious actors. A few hours after I mentioned I emailed the company, this account went dark. Also, LinkedIn […] [Original post on mastodon.circlewithadot.net]

People who discover and expose backdoors and other vulnerabilities should be rewarded, not punished.

Still looking for work and having trouble securing an interview. No certs, but 5 years experience as a Infra Designer, DevOps Engineer and Linux Admin with strong Ansible skills. Anyone hiring? #lookingforwork #techjobs #tech #ansible #linux #unix #devops #admin

Life was more convenient when most things felt inconvenient. Weird.

Pricing literally everything for enterprise vs consumer is a direct assault on decentralization and I legit feel fear about it. Having to deal with the surveillance state and other concerns related to privacy, security and freedom sucks but is manageable when the gear is priced for you.

happy friendly reminder day to those who celebrate

Going to be downsizing my self hosting to save on overhead. Keeping Mastodon and Matrix I think but might migrate to other instances for other services. Whats a good PeerTube instance for someone who uploads videos related to mostly music (but also gaming and tech?)

Phantasy Star Online V2 PC with widescreen, scaled HUD, Blue Burst keyboard controls. Just need to fix the map and slowdown caused by the HUD scaling. Exciting. #pso #phantasystaronline #phantasystar #linux

Started learning newserv and have a working Phantasy Star Online BB server now running live. I also patched a client to connect to the server. Fun night.

Is the custom domain feature on Bandcamp still broken in 2026? As far as I can tell it still seems to be. Why even offer it on artist settings if it hasn't worked in years? #bandcamp

Wrote a recommendation letter for someone and did my best to remember the lessons of my professor about good writing. Out of curiosity asked a few models and websites that detect AI writing if its AI generated - and all of them said it was likely AI generated. fml

Conservatives will tell you now they regret their vote for Trump. That might be true, but they're still in the cult. They hate diversity, freedom, liberty, both individualism (the good parts) and collectivism, peace, kindness, etc., for reasons related to self-destructive eschatological beliefs […]

happy 4/20

In a bit of a bind financially lately as I look for new work. If you're a fan of my music, I have a full discography grab on sale for $3.75. https://incentive.bandcamp.com

I really agree and feel this point being made here. I really miss feeling I can ask human beings a question and in the process of asking a question either build a new connection with someone or strengthen it. I'm not sure humans were meant to google everything. It doesn't feel very social […]

I want more games like WoW Classic and Gothic. I think in terms of immersion nothing has really come close to either of those. #linuxgaming #gaming #warcraft #wow #gothic #pirahnabytes #rpg

I know this might be a hot take but Warlords of Draenor is disgustingly underrated

For all the (misguided) shittalking on Wikipedia I've experienced my entire life, it's nice to see it's one of the seemingly few places left online using human generated content- and is one of the few things you can mostly trust for information. Wikipedia editors are true Gs

Thought it would be a good idea to work a 60min long project with a lot of tracks, instruments and intensive on resources and my computer is having other ideas about it atm

I use a System76 Thelio Mira Custom as my studio machine, running Arch. During a session today my screen became distorted, and the sound started buzzing. I unplugged my interface and shut down the PC. It would not power back up afterward, and I did a power drain and cmos reset. It's now booting […]

Today is Bandcamp Friday - great chance to show some support if you dig my music. https://incentive.bandcamp.com #bandcamp #bandcampfriday #music #electronicmusic #industrial #idm #ambient

I just received a copyright strike for a work I recorded in 2016 and released in 2017. The work claiming the copyright is an AI generated work released within the last year.

I forgot how incredibly bad the story in Heart of the Swarm. I've played the campaign a few times now and I still can't rationalize anything Kerrigan does- it makes no sense.

TIL I should probably get some sorta card signed my doctor that explains I have PTSD and Anxiety and I am not resisting arrest when I hand my ID over to a cop

Finally signed up for Stripe to migrate Bandcamp to. After I go to link my Stripe account to bandcamp, it's asking me to refill in the information I just handed to Skype. On top of that, this second time it asks for my FULL SSN instead of just the last four digits (as Stripe asked when I first […]

Yacht Rock is the genre of the Epstein Class

Searched for "circle with a dot incentive" on Google to see what comes up on the first few pages, and the Gemini response is *chefs kiss* 😆

On top of dealing with personal life stuff, I'm increasingly finding it difficult to not absolutely lose it over the state of "AI", hardware, surveillance, Trump, Epstein, ICE, technofascists, cryptofascists, and performative liberals and "progressives" in positions of power (perpetuating most […]

Am I remembering wrong? Didn't user accounts used to show up if they start to match what you are searching for in the drop bar here on Masto Web? I've noticed since upgrading to v4.5.6 it no longer works in the web (but still works on the main mobile app) #mastodon #fediverse #selfhost

Currently, the outrage to the visible contents of the Epstein files is so mild that I have to think the majority of people just aren’t even casually checking them. I can’t think of a phrase to describe what I’ve read even as a forensic analyst. “Cartoonishly evil” is too gentle. Horrific. Inhuman.

Guess what, writers? You can be hackers, too! https://itsfoss.com/news/configuring-vim-writing/ #vim #writing

YouTube has been blocking all videos to me when I have uBlock Origin enabled. Can't figure out a workaround yet. Right now I'm muting all ads and squinting my eyes until I can see a blur appear to skip the ad on the bottom right. #youtube #ublock

I'm really enjoying NodeBB. For me it's like a nice alternative to Mastodon's Bookmarks feature. Instead of having posts I want saved in some long list, I can easily sort in NodeBB by the categories on my board when I add the posts. It also works as a nice alternative to lists for Mastodon […]

I have a weakness for going crazy for artist who is both insanely incredible at their craft *and* use Mastodon. Insane god-tier hyrbid thing.

I recently saw someone leave fedi at least temporarily as a result of harassment, and one thing they highlighted was that most of us don't see the harassment they were getting because of how federation works and the fact that our instances block all the vile ones most of the harassment was […]

On production machines I rarely touch root space with containers. I tend to keep as much in user as humanly possible in order to keep root mostly safe- even running a lot of systemd services as user. I've noticed a lot of projects assume root being used (i.e. /srv) and expect root ownership […]

Discord isn't close to being aligned with my principles, so on one hand this is expected/whatever. On the other, I've sort of accepted that Discord servers are to be treated as open public spaces and nothing you say is really private (this true whether you're on matrix or discord). A lot of […]
