I'd like to speak to the ceo of facial hair, not being able to opt-out is a GDPR violation

time to binge watch Technology Connections in the name of science

I have a 4 foot Elmo doll and it has no means of holding itself up. So no matter how you place him, it becomes a whole-ass mood.

received the first parts for my new 3" quadcopter yesterday. the frame is sooo cute~

meta, out of the loop, question 

did someone delete? I'm not super close to what's been going on recently

had to cycle home, get my laptop, then do server maid stuff all while tipsy :>
fixed the pixie.town vps tho :D

tech take 

periodic reminder systemd is a good init system, actually

my cafeïne brain bees are being productive today!

so I've been good at only keeping my bullet journal when I feel like it, accepting that there will be days missing.

Also compiled a list of server maid things I need to do, and there's a ton of stuff hah. Good thing they're not high priority, having the list is good so I can just pick something to work on when I feel like it.
Boils down to making pixie.town infra better, and migrating my oldest personal vps to new shiny nixos with lower specs

what even is yarr.io? site is completely locked behind a login wall

:
during a system upgrade wireguard suddenly cut out (not sure if that was a homeserver or endpoint-vps error). Unable to reconnect, I asked someone at home to force-reboot, which resulted in a corrupt kernel.

that would've been easy to fix from a live-usb, which I tried, except the cryptsetup initramfs part complained with stuff being mounted wrong in the chroot. Those errors were hidden behind a flood of useless error messages (known bug), so I did not notice and tried various things
in the end mounting the disks in the liveusb as expected, then regenerating the initramfs fixed it

my timeline is going absolutely nuts backfilling the old toots from the last 7 hours

woooo we're back online
after long debugging in the cold next to my windy front door; with emotional support from my blahaj and technical support from IRC my homeserver (and pixie.town workhorse) is all working again after a system malfunction during an upgrade

i literally cannot understand anyone who continues to support, defend, or give benefit of doubt to this vindictive, petty, awful human being.

no service she provides to leftist communities can possibly be worth the cost of this toxic behavior.

absolutely cursed 

@jess one thing thomasthetankenginehasbones.com doesn't make clear is if it's *his* skeleton inside...

all ready for fab~

rerouting it all wasn't as much work as I feared, because I already had the general ideas and techniques in my head. Also added the option for a smaller button on the front, as the Alps is quite tall

so yeah, realized I actually did a big oof in my pcb design, need to mirror all the stuff on the back or the segments light up counter-clockwise...

means a lot of redo-ing but uh.. at least I realised before ordering them...

I forgot to reconnect a bunch of traces in the top left somehow oof. Fixed and sent to a friend to review further

well.. couldn't help myself making some last minute changes. With fresh eyes I realized it was possible to do the routing better, removing the need for the 3 0hm bridging resistors (marked red in picture 1).

also added a link to tilde.industries, product name, and moved a few other things around to make it nicer to solder
