rollercoaster accident analysis
I'm so used to accident analyses being a never-ending series of "and then they cut a corner here, and they saved a buck there, and that's why it happened".
So I'm positively amazed at this case where it seems that the operator actually did everything by the book, and proactively responded to the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApYID0lAiQc

shitpost, kink
I'll have my first spanking lesson tomorrow.
I hope I get good marks.

I need a reasonably popular Youtuber to start a viral 'no to fascism' campaign, something that takes off beyond our wildest expectations, spreads to TikTok, results in remixes by a ton of artists, which then also go viral.
Like, to the point where nobody can just unsub from a few of their favourite creators, because there's too many of them to just ignore it as a protest, and it starts showing up in everyone's recommendations.
We don't truly meme enough, and that needs to change.

Vandaag was onze klimmer weer eens te vinden in Amelisweerd voor een klimtraining. Deze training kwam voort uit een filmvertoning over de Alti bosbezetting in Duitsland gecombineerd met een praatje vanuit Amelisweerd niet geasfalteerd.
In de bos zag de klimmer dat spandoek in solidariteit met Atlanta forest weer eens in de knoop hing, maar door tijd gebrek is het niet gelukt om het spandoek weer recht te hangen. Daar gaat onze klimmer nog een keer voor terug. Het spandoek hangt er nu bijna een jaar. En zo lang de tekst goed leesbaar blijft, blijft ie nog hangen

You can just be a girl if you want. It’s okay. Or a boy, or something else, or no gender at all. You’re not too old, or too young, or too much, or not enough, or trespassing, or appropriating, or causing trouble. It’s okay. Really.
The important thing is: do what you want, not what you think you’re allowed. Find the joy and follow that. You can experiment and you can change your mind. That’s okay too.

foss nerds: rtfm!!!
the manual:
--archive, -a archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
Actually, let's make this into a public request; if you have a HDD with failing SMART attributes of any sort, please run `smartctl --attributes --json` with a decently recent version (the nixpkgs one is definitely good enough) and send me the output!
(I'm specifically interested in how failing metrics are represented, so completely healthy drives are not useful here)

A reminder that the most useful feedback often doesn't come from the people who love your project or the people who hate it, but from those who have serious concerns but continue using and recommending it anyway

Was just thinking again of Ibby, who decided to burn his passports and travel from Norway to Morocco on foot, without any money: https://www.shareable.net/walking-from-norway-to-africa-without-money-or-a-passport/
I met him in 2013 at an Occupy camp in NL. Very inspiring person, who pretty much lived the world in the way that so many folks imagine. Could listen to him talk for hours.
I don't know where he is now or what he's doing, but he seems to have published a book about it: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43562112-the-hitchhiker-s-guide-to-not-hitchhiking - I do hope to get back in touch with him some day.
re: political complaining
There are so many articles, videos etc. that analyze governance failures that are just painful to read or watch for me, because their conclusion ends up being "this is just what happens, things fail" when those failures have *obvious and known* causes that they just were not ready to actually analyze in depth
political complaining
Being an anarchist (and actually having studied power dynamics and decisionmaking in that process) means constantly seeing people make the same governance errors over and over again, consistently having things fail in the same ways across a wide spectrum of topics, and then being told that *you're* the naive one when you try to point out this pattern
The plan: working on my project
The reality: debugging a problem with VS Code that keeps me from working on my project

fandom "discourse", fascism
from seeing some twitter accounts, there is a very real "puriteen to nazi" pipeline, which is completely unsurprising as the puriteen mindset is already pretty fascist thinking
