i got morph (github.com/DBCDK/morph) working in my current Arch laptop setup, which then deploys these rather basic configs to the vm's over ssh

next is:
- wireguard between nodes
- actually running useful services properly (nginx, etc)
- learning how to package my own things
- rolling these out to hetzner
- spreading this to pixie.town infra, my personal infra, my laptop, my desktop, YOUR infra, THE WORLD

can american science librarian Franklin Sayre please be less vorny on main

I need the quick dopamine of xonotic games

but instead the game is broken as fuck so it only gets me anger these days

oof chaos today

at least I was able to help out some other people with things, my own priorities, not so much

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net i mean...

Kaco "Xiaomi" fountain pens with J. Herbin 'bleu pervenche' and 'rose cyclamen'

@wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net ahhh your handwriting does nice pens/inks way more justice than mine :')

@morgan@merveilles.town
- no ecosystem fragmentation
The Matrix spec includes e2e encryption, multi-device, etc, so there's no need to make sure specific XEP's are supported or whatever

- much better clients
Element isn't perfect. but it's soooo much nicer to use than all the xmpp clients/apps I tried in the past

- actually federated rooms
instead of 1 spof server having to act as a router, matrix federation is a full mesh between servers that participate in a room

In general this kind of stems from quite a different design philosophy, XMPP is bare-minimum message-passing (although it can be extended), Matrix builds chat on top of a federated, distributed data store, which makes things a lot more reliable both for federation and (historic) message availability

lastly a headsup to any non-mutuals about to jump in i'll probably ignore you.

don't mind me just taking fake perspective pictures with this dino keychain blue-tac-ed to my monitor

also lmao @ me thinking capacitive touch sliders had some fancy position tracking, it's literally just a row of separate pads interpreting linear progression amongst them

I've also been meaning to experiment more with capacitive touch in-pcb design, and haptic feedback for those

could be a cool application here

like what good is all this uni "this is how you design products" if I can't use it to better my own life! (and others :))

youtube music, long-ish 

@Anarkat@hackers.town it's one of the reasons I like YouTube Music so much, it just works in my browser with a nice interface and no DRM (oh and firefox got mpris integration recently so you can do system play/pause/skip and song info)

it uses the same collection as normal youtube but with extra artist/album tagging and prefering music over music videos

it's also gratis, especially when just combined with your normal adblocker

as a cloudy googly based thing it still has drawbacks of course, but I personally much prefer streaming music and recommendations over just keeping flacs somewhere..

hmmmm maybe I should design a better alarm clock so I don't have to use my phone for that

I like having some kind of interface that shows me how much sleep I'd be getting while setting the alarm

@nia@catgirl.science i mean same, but our neighbours chickens aren't loud and I can sleep with sun just fine..

also the issue is actually getting out of bed too lmao, perhaps I should leave my phone at my desk

tom scott is a cryptid

i will not be taking questions at this time
