i should really fix my quadcopter sometime

and 1001 other things i Should Do

is it just because I've spent sooo long doing stuff with computers?

is it something in my brain, my thought patterns?

why do I know how computers work

how am I the person that just knows where to search in menus for options, or failing that, to just search for it online instead of immediately giving up

self reflection idk weird 

sorta caught up with someone who i hadn't spoke to in a while, to help them with a programming question.

they told me im doing great/that i have all these skills

and, heh, wasn't really sure how to feel about that. like yes i know a decent amount of specialized tidbits and can figure out computer stuff rather well, but then there's also so much i can't do that frustrates me and, eh

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 :')

- 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
