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.

Saneism of the personality disorder variety
It’s like the least “has criteria at all” disorder in the dsm. I swear to god it only exists as an excuse to jail people society doesn’t like very much. There’s a reason oppositional defiance disorder & conduct disorder are diagnosed a lottttt more in populations of color than in white communities. Maybe if we didn’t have a major social stigma against people who are just existing & wouldn’t be harmful if we weren’t ableist dicks to them, then they wouldn’t be harmful & need so much help. Just a hunch. I’m this way because people were dicks to me early enough in my life that it permanently fucked with my brain structure. & the overlap between aspd & developmental disabilities only makes that worse, cuz like. We know exactly why people act like that. It’s the disabilities you’re born with, then once you develop new ones because you’re being abused, it’s those that are targeted most. It’s like you can’t win. Ok cool, I wasn’t capable of surviving without maladaption the fucking olympic sport, & that makes me even more worthless somehow? Oh & also excuses all of the abuse I faced?
Like just SAY you want a valid reason to mistreat disabled people & be done with it. That’s all it is. It’s people who were never taught to be understanding, meeting people who throw red flags up in their brains, & instead of getting to know why it is that this type of person unsettles you so much, you abuse them & claim it’s self defense because you’re just soooo dangerous & scary & they were only protecting themself against you because you’re a ticking timebomb & they noticed that & they’re such a victim. Give me a break. Even other disabled people often have awful opinions on apathetic people who can’t, or don’t want to, integrate into society. Like as if being disabled means we must be nice pushovers to “make up for it.” There’s nothing to make up for, I’m just existing & if that’s a problem, that’s more telling of your worldview than mine.
I swear to god it is ENTIRELY because I saw nothing wrong with being disabled as a little kid, & others didn’t like that I didn’t hate myself for it, so they had to give me a reason to hate myself.

Good lord. Talk of the ruination of the web on here today I decided to see what it was like just straight up raw dogging my browsing habits for a little while. No ad blockers, no blocking cookie popups etc.
People actually USE this?!

Why does this work matter on converting to an asynchronous runtime?
One big goal of the Lix project is to bring forth a uniform and standard inter-process communication protocol for talking to Lix and performing operations.
Similar to what you can see in the Snix (snix.dev) project, evaluation, store and build operations are split in a neat way and gRPC ties them together.
In Lix, we pursue a similar goal where we fission the client and the daemon into smaller pieces glued via the IPC!

Thanks to the awesome @leftpaddotpy and 9999years (I don't have their fedi?!), we now have #Lix 2.93.0: https://lix.systems/blog/2025-05-06-lix-2.93-release/.
The release notes contain a lot of goodies, nevertheless, another cool thing about it is that it contains a tremendous effort from eldritch horrors to rewrite the I/O and threading model to KJ: the Cap'n'Proto asynchronous runtime.
This unveiled a massive amount of hidden ordering constraints in the codebase, very hard to debug.

This brought to you by my ongoing frustration at people using their personal situation or yes, sometimes even marginalized status, as an excuse to be uncaring and negligent towards others.
My bluntly honest view on "building a better world together", as it relates to what individual people contribute:
I don't want to hear about all of the ways in which you can't contribute because of your circumstances. Everybody has circumstances. I want to hear about the margins you've worked to find in your life where you *can* make a difference, even if a small one.
If there are no such margins and you claim that there's no way you can do *anything at all*, then I simply will not believe that you've even tried.
I don't expect you to change the world on your own, or to contribute in any one specific way. I *do* expect you to try your best and introspect on your role in society, as I expect from everyone else, myself included.

hackers are really rational people who truly think for themselves, unlike all other people
(don't ask about Club Mate, Lenovo ThinkPads, Engelbert Strauss and Paulaner Spezi)
It's actually *really* weird that driver's licenses, specifically, are seen as a valid form of government ID in a lot of places.

> Maybe it’s useful to know that Sam Altman uses a knife that’s showy but incohesive and wrong for the job; he wastes huge amounts of money on olive oil that he uses recklessly; and he has an automated coffee machine that claims to save labour while doing the exact opposite because it can’t be trusted. His kitchen is a catalogue of inefficiency, incomprehension, and waste.
more of this, please. you can learn who a person really is by how they do housework and carework.

If you can stomach an AI generated placeholder image, this post about WiFi only working when it's raining is similarly hilariously strange, again with a logical explanation.

My apologies, it was 500 miles. Anyway, if you haven't seen this story you owe it to yourself to give it a read. It's absolutely absurd, and yet there's a perfectly logical — if strange! — explanation.

When I see something like this, or the "I can only send an e-mail 300 miles" post, or the "my wifi only works when it's raining" post, it's tempting to think of ordinary computing as being something like AI: subject to mysterious and seemingly random behaviors.
The difference, though, is that these *incredibly strange* bugs all have explanations rooted in an understanding of how computers work. You can go find those explanations by using logic!

Is something specific going on? Or is it just the normal ebb & flow?

Baby steps.
I made a little #rustic step-ladder for the living room using a maple yoke piece that I ripped down the middle. And I added a removable slide for the junior woodworkers to have a some indoor playground fun.

I don't think #spooncarving will ever be my main thing but it's such a nice way to practice and experiment. This little spoon is for the sugar bowl. It was a piece of birch around a knot that I almost threw in the compost but then I thought it might be worth trying to work that swerving grain.

In retrospect, maybe organizing the whole world via Teen-Chat and Celebrity-Quip products was not a good idea.

And there are lots of other examples where folks seem to bargain with extractive technologies and avoid the debate about environmental damage by talking about the good intentions and organization of the makers.
