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.

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?

Struck by how many cis people I’m contacting would rather tell me how distressing this must be for me than commit to saying “trans women are women” in public

usa autism database thoughts from a medical record manager (a thread)
as much as i appreciate activism and folk raising awareness despite being outside the healthcare industry: lets talk about the practicalities of building a massive 'research database' of medical records for a minute.
lets also look at *why* hippa wont save us and *why* the obama rules about data sharing are bullshit and *why* neither of these things are what you think they are.
disclosure 1: im an industry insider and know exactly wtf they need to do to make their database of autistic folk's medical records a reality. its actually kind of 'easy' and very much legal.
disclosure 2: im autistic and [invisibly] disabled. i have a vested interest in this topic, on many levels.

abolish instagram. destroy it. burn it. hack it to pieces with sharpened spoons and eat it. use literally anything else to organise I beg you
uspol, actionable personally
If you have a formal autism diagnosis (completed or in progress), and you are in the US, now is probably the time to call around your healthcare providers and ask and/or pressure them to delete it from your medical records. Optionally keeping a paper copy yourself.
The government wants to go digging in private medical records to put autistic folks in a registry (that is most likely going to function as a kill list), and it'll probably take them a small amount of time to start doing so, but they probably won't actually be stopped from doing it - so you're going to want to make sure your name doesn't pop up in that process.

One guy is using an excavator to move dirt, two people are raking it flat, and the crows are flapping around to check the dirt for grubs. Helping!

is there an overview post of all the weird hardware/OS/network fedi instance deployments?
if not I should write a blog post
Edit: yes https://eloydegen.com/blog/posts/weird-fediverse-instances/
uspol
"Creating a registry of autistic people", like the US government under Trump is wanting to do... that is what you do when you want to murder an entire demographic. That is the only reason for it.
I don't mean that metaphorically. I mean literally murdering them, directly or indirectly.

Even if you aren't in a country where elections will be held very soon (Canada, Australia, Singapore, Philippines) it's worth knowing just about 9 out of 10 people globally want more climate action.
This is drowned out by propaganda from the fossil fuel industry and their paid shills.

pspol, uspol, genocide
I feel like another thing I hear from liberals pretty often is:
Biden didn't start the genocide
Because they have mostly shifted from "it's not a genocide" from what I can see these days. This is still a good post though. Stole it from someone else who posted it without alt text or CW.
