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.

Finally got around to migrating my Forgejo to a different hosting provider, it's no longer horrendously slow now
I tried to read a HN thread about Forgejo. That was a mistake.

Timeline cleansing pointless thought for the day:
Does the concept of a "warp core" for a spacecraft engine imply the rest of a warp fruit with warp peel on the outside?

US politics
if you're in a position where a government doing terrible things is relying on you to help do them, this is an opportunity.
do NOT quit in protest, do a bad job on purpose.
accidentally forget to make backups of important information.
send back subtly wrong answers to questions.
wrap everything in as much red tape as you can get away with.
you're smart and competent, turn your thinking around: how can I make everyone around me less efficient.

Doom läuft auf allem, auch im PDF – warum nicht auch Linux? Das dachte sich ein Tüftler und startet ein Minimalsystem im PDF-RISC-V-Emulator.

Fedi via Teletext has to be one of the best ideas I've had in a while
I do not enjoy how small programs routinely take up several hundred MB of RAM each nowadays, for no clear reason.
And no, I'm not talking about Electron here.

So, I need another leg for my new infra's backup. One leg is at Hetzner, so I need another that is at a different provider.
What are decent EU providers where I could host the other leg? I don't need a full VPS, anything I can send to with restic works.

A bunch of boring things you might want to do soon *if you can*:
Getting your MMR shot reupped*, your passport in order**, all age-appropriate preventive care (mammogram, colonoscopy, cholesterol check), eating more produce, getting established with a primary care doctor, getting prescriptions refilled, making lists of phone numbers, doing whatever strength work your body allows.
This isn’t selfish or non-communitarian. You can’t help others if you get knocked off the board.

We went into the spice shop the other day, and on the door where a lot of shops have that "all are welcome here" mass-produced sticker, they had taped up a crayon drawing of a pride flag with a child's signature on the back, and honestly it was so cute I'm still just sitting here thinking about it a week later.
More of that.

Even very low tech societies had substances they used for soap and items for grooming. You're not getting back to nature, you're just being nasty

I think two things can be true
I think ads designed to make us paranoid about our looks, smells, and overall aesthetics so companies can profit from exploiting our insecurities should be illegal
Also, you do need to brush your teeth and wash your ass

A thing about language that a lot of people don't know is that you can dislike a usage intensely – a pronunciation, a piece of grammar, etc. – without presuming to reject it on behalf of all people, in all places, for all time
