Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

(nature documentary voice) while these creatures must face many threats, one of the most severe is said to be the loss of their habits

Oh shit happy 45th birthday Pac-Man

@natty From what I know of both, what I'm looking for would be sitting somewhere in the middle between those two
@TyberiusPrime Unfortunately that is very much "rolling your own with a bunch of libraries"
Are there any Wayland compositor 'toolkits'? 
I'm thinking something that lets you design your own compositor by writing limited code and configuration.
Not locked into a specific paradigm and more capable than just "customize this off-the-shelf WM", but less work than rolling your own with a bunch of libraries.
(Customizable WMs *may* be suitable answers, if you can customize both their appearance and behaviour far enough that a user would not be able to identify the underlying WM from using a customized installation, as an imperfect yardstick.)

Any tips for a privacy respecting, free event organization platform? I'm thinking about features like:
- Some rich text + images hosted online for the event
- Subscription form to get updates
- Stats about expected attendance
- ??? (this is my first time)
Edit: I don't charge anything for the event, so percentage commission can work.

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used nin the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!
The Rust experience: finding a crate that looks really cool and exactly like what you need, seeing the README claiming that the 'book' contains introductory documentation and a tutorial, clicking through to it...
And then finding the first few pages of the 'book' filled in with information about how to install the crate, but with "todo" placeholders for every page that ostensibly would contain the thing you were actually trying to learn about

I am releasing this public-domain/CC0 font based on the drawings in Rudolf Koch’s A Book of Signs. I have called it Koch Up.
Although the repertoire is limited, it has contextual alternates for EFHMPZ and some cross-stream kerning (generally following /R).
It is a little strange to release my whimsical font the same week as Poem releases the beautiful Offenbach, both based on Koch’s work. I hope you enjoy both.

vegan food and recipe
@vegan Me and @scremlin made a veganized chicken tonkatsu ramen recipe by Okonomi Kitchen! It turned out really really close to what we want! (but we may tweak a couple things) We're thinking about adding a tiny bit of miso paste and a tiny bit more sesame paste.
Still, the photos came out really nice too, even though we didn't use the right noodles (the thick flat noodles worked better for this recipe anyway because they hold more delicious creamy sauce). We used the Garden Gourmet chick'n style schnitzel for the "chicken" and the Mong Lee Shang Taiwanese flat sliced noodles
Notes about this recipe: You have to use sake, don't sub. You have to use east asian sesame paste (don't use tahini). Use a "cooking" oat or soy creamer thing. Don't use anything that is not made to be cooked, so no "soy drink" or "oat drink".

So i got into Linux, IT, DevOps etc.. by way of being a musician and finding out the hard way that there are more jobs for fixing broken Macbooks and Firewire interfaces then there were as studio technicians and session guitarists. I feel like I'm constantly meeting other people in my field with similar stories - my current infra team at work for example is visual artists, gigging musicians and a calligraphist.
Infra friends, whats your art backstory?
