the non-extant entity has a question for you 

What are your no-nouns?

Some time ago Anna's Archive launched a contest to create a visualization of the “ISBN space,” i.e., all books registered through this code. The results are spectacular. I recommend that you search for any book in the winning tool for an authentically Borgesian experience.

This is a lazy reminder for folks who happen to support me on Patreon (or not) that I highly suggest you to either support me on the following before October/ November

(Highly recommended) comradery: comradery.co/sparklejinx

Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/sparklejinx/tiers

Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/melaniemoo/me

I’m going to get rid of Patreon because it’s about that time and changes happening in November is turning me off from using it as a way to get support to live

Again my move is up in the air and I need all the help I can get :)

I’m still hopeful I’ll be able to finally start doing art or streaming again once I get out, or if my set up at home is strong enough for it (our internet is a huge bottleneck atm)

I see lots of cute avatars of transfems here
but I haven't seen any people of color like me
boost to help me find the non-white transfems?

oh-kay phew. some final cleanup, and then it's time to launch the alpha of this torrent tracker designed for rapid-response data rescue where a bunch of people each scrape chunks of a big thing and then recombine it later, where nobody can store the whole thing in one place because it's too big. then early next week we'll have the system for claiming and handling in-process scrapes. then we start fucking around with the fun stuff. has there ever been a torrent tracker that speaks activitypub to distribute uploads around between instances? because this one is gonna.

why are your thoughts in the gutter you should be collecting it illegally like rainwater

I'm really less of a "goes bump in the night" kinda creature than I am a "goes squish, squash, glop, and slop in the night". Stop laughing at me when I hurt my toe in the dark. :slime:

lobotomizing Windows for fun, diary of a masochistic Linux slime 

So for reasons I am looking into having a second, smaller drive for running Windows 10. However those who know me well can probably infer it will look nothing like a normal windows install (and be right). I like removing as many system components as possible, and replacing them with open source hobbyist replacements that don't rely on Windows update. You can probably guess a few defaults applications I will purge before I even let an installer hit my disk with I/O. I will modify the install with some tools used by IT administrators who customize windows images, find out exactly what is required to run a windows binary using GPU acceleration on my device, and then immediately begin making even more drastic changes before I even touch replacing the default userspace. Something I am looking into is using BTRFs for Windows. Yup. You heard me right. This will require replacing the bootloader with one that can load Windows off of Btrfs, so that once the ntfs to Btrfs in-place conversion is finished Windows can still boot. Here is the bootloader project for anyone else who has serious personal issues: github.com/maharmstone/quibble
Then at that point, I can take and manage btrfs snapshots of my Windows 10 install from my Linux drive, and not to mention easily mount files and folders from either OS. In practice I will be chainloading this homebrew bootloader from Grub2 which I already have configured to boot directly into snapshots of my Arch Linux. So while I might not get grub-btrfs automatic snapshots (for Windows) on the Grub2 menu, Linux will always be a rock-solid recovery option, and will be able to rollback irreparable changes I've made by grievously mangling the fundamental default Windows 10 userspace elements via snapshotting. I'm gonna delete explorer.exe with NO FEAR.
