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.

It’s especially frustrating when I discover someone thinks I’m doing something socially advanced and devious. I’m just struggling to seem normal, buddy. I don’t have the time, or the understanding of people required to plot anything against you. Just tell me what’s annoying. I do not know. Please just tell me. People are terrifying and inscrutable and I don’t want to be one of them in your life.

I wish there were a socially acceptable way to tell people that one has problems picking up subtle social cues, hints etc.
With most people I know well and get on with they eventually tell me something like “when I first met you I thought you hated me” or “I thought you were trying to make me look bad by correcting me”
I don’t let this feedback just wash over me. Project “Less Obnoxious! more Approachable!” has been ongoing for decades. But, even still I can’t read minds.
The most reliable way to geolocate a subset of fedi users is to look who posts at exactly 12:00 on the first Monday of the month

Even completely headless, command line #linux doesn't prioritize #accessibility in any way. Today I had to reinstall an entire #debian system from scratch because a drive listed in my /etc/fstab died. That makes #systemd boot into emergency mode, where you get no SSH, no network, no sound, and no screen reader. There is no quick way to force it to try and boot even though drive 7 of 11 has died, and it could absolutely bring up SSH and the network to let me fix it if it wanted to, just like sysvinit used to do. You can't even force systemd to add SSH and the network to emergency mode because of circular dependencies. nofail will only continue the boot if the drive doesn't exist, but if the filesystem has issues...emergency mode for you. In short: if your drive dies on Linux, fuck you. Be able to see, or reinstall your entire system, because nobody in Linuxland gives a shit about #a11y or your needs.

today, i have IP-blocked the entirety of alibaba cloud’s IPv4 range (47.80.0.0/13, 47.74.0.0/15, 47.76.0.0/14). And you could ask - domi, what the hell, that’s kinda sorta a lot of addresses?
fucking watch this: that’s sakamoto Mk5, my Ryzen 9 7950X3D server. Never before have I seen forgejo taking this much CPU.
They’ve generated 9GB of access logs (!) and 230GB of generated tarballs (!!!) before I got to my laptop, investigated and ip-banned them. I’m positive that most forgejo deployments in existence wouldn’t survive this.
If you needed another reason to fuck generative AI today - here’s one

Cautionary tale, some details of horrible accident, everyone survives.
@joepie91 someone close to me came inches from dying this way recently. Clothing caught in angle grinder, no dead man switch. Minor chest and shoulder injuries, made a full recovery. Slightly different angle would have gone through the side of his neck.
TIL the Lidl cloud actually became a thing for real

Free software is about granting people rights, and as such it is incompatible with racism. It is incompatible with homophobia. It is incompatible with "gender critical" ideology. Those people all reject the idea that all humans have rights based on who they are are ideologically incompatible with free software and deserve to be sidelined. We can replace anyone's contributions, we can't replace all those they drive away.

military, detransition, transmisia
when they talk about "men" using self-ID legislation and similar to avoid conscription and write in contingencies to suspend legal gender changes I need y'all to be aware that they mean us with that. they will have no qualms about conscripting transfems info the military and force-detransitioning them. what do you think has been happening in Ukraine?
oppose imperialism always, but y'all can miss me with uncritical support of nation states and patriarchal institutions.
