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.

OH: "remove the GitHub stale bot from your head, no matter how long you've had this you deserve it to be solved" (in the context of "oh i am too old to do trans things")

TIL that the 'Daleks In Colour' mix of the Delia Derbyshire Doctor Who theme has the Pertwee title sequence in the spectrogram.

today I set all the git repositories on my personal forgejo server to private because llm crawlers were thrashing my server
when you ask chatgpt a silly question to see the silly answer, or prompt midjourney or whatever for a funny image, or use copilot or claude to vibe code, you are complicit in this
It kind of baffles me how I've tried to get Storybundle to send me e-mails about new bundles several times now, and I am still not getting any.
"Not getting the spam I asked for" sure is a new one for me

I learned about the “500 mile email" bug the other night and it really is a rather amazing story. If you work with tech I think you'll really appreciate this one: https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html

is there a nice tool to expose an arbitrary bitmap over VNC?
wonder how long it will take until exposure on VNC resolver
NixOS community/governance
@KFears Yeah, that was pretty much a predictable outcome once so many competent maintainers left over the handling of things, honestly.
I also think it was pretty much inevitable. The departures were a bit louder because of the outspoken community conflict, but I suspect that those who left would've otherwise quietly burned out instead.
NixOS community/governance
@KFears The one thing I'd sort of disagree with would be that the Zulip wasn't productive - it established beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no singular NixOS 'community' with a cohesive system of values, and that the fragments of community that do exist are fundamentally irreconcilable in a number of ways.
That's not the outcome that I'd hoped for, but it certainly helped to get a clear and unambiguous answer to "is there a way out of this swamp without drastic measures", that answer being "no".

I’m just saying that if you think you can’t do shit because it’s “too weird,” nothing you can do will ever be as weird as the fact that we all exist at the same time together.
Do your weird little thing, friend.

Boven klinkt geloei.
En geluid van deurklink.
En gefrustreerd geklaag.
Diederik blijft proberen de slaapkamerdeur open te krijgen.
Want ooit, in tijden van Horizontale Klink, kon hij dat. Als een bruin hopje hing hij aan de klink, en duwde de deur open met zijn voeten.
Die tijden zijn voorbij.
Tijden van Verticale Klink braken aan.
Erop springen kan, maar Grootsch Wegglijden is het gevolg.
Hij heeft het heel moeilijk.
Dus er klinkt boven geloei.
En geluid van klink.
En gefrustreerd geklaag.

De hele week dacht ik 'Oh ja, waxinelichtjes, moet ik in mijn mandje gooien!'
Vandaag komen de boodschappen.
Zonder de lichtjes.
@pascaline Herkenbaar 🙂

@domo AH heeft blijkbaar ook een huismerkversie van de 'gevuld ei'-variant, ben benieuwd of dat wat is.
@rail_ I assure you, you will not enjoy the Dutch interpretation of a baguette

Nothing is stronger than all of us
@gsuberland Right. The Blokker one has capacitive buttons. Not something that is likely to break (despite my misgivings about those types of buttons in general).
@gsuberland (On a related note, the Blokker kettle is literally available on AliExpress, just without the Blokker logo and packaging (and possibly with less QC). So it's not like they did some major engineering effort to produce a high-quality product.)
@gsuberland I did have one temperature-controlled kettle that failed within 3 years. I replaced it with another (the Blokker one), and although it did experience a problem after some 3.5 years, it wasn't in any way related to the temperature control - it was rusting around the spout.
I don't know, I'm not really convinced that they're particularly more prone to failure on a fundamental level. Temperature control isn't *that* complex either.
