Hi everyone, just letting you know I have a gamedev-centric alt on @lampfairy <3 Hoping to use that environment to help me focus on development stuff, so I'll post my progress and boost useful development insight there. Give me a follow if you're interested! <3

Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms?
Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.
1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!
Happy reading!

I was in #Toronto visiting the kid this weekend. Stopped by an #electronics store I had heard about, called "Supremetronic”…
Really, it was a section in the basement of a Home Hardware, directly next to the paint counter.
What a strange little nook of availability that was. Hundreds of bins of discrete components, a few bins of ICs, and some essentials like ribbon cables, perf board, and connectors. A few kits, and some project boxes.
🤯
It's set up! Finally! And memtest was already on the ISO, I didn't have to jump through hoops to get a writable boot environment, it just... wasn't in the GRUB menu for some reason?
Man idefk anymore. I'm tired. It's installed, I got the badRAM map added to the GRUB defaults and everything, I can worry about finishing everything later.
This would be a lot easier if I didn't have to worry about copying over badmem maps every time, but that's what I get for working off secondhand parts with the current Situation(tm)
I just installed grub manually and... the live image is hardcoded to use the ISO label to mount its partitions
*sob*

Huh.
Sure is Weird how some developers rushed to add age verification to linux when the bills weren't even law yet. I wonder if any of that will be rolled back now... 
Dear grub, why aren't you grubbing? Are the x64 modules on this ISO just cooked? Am I gonna have to boot this in i386 mode? Please tell me I won't have to boot this in i386 mode.

Guess I gotta advertise myself a little:
Do you have a task you've wanted to automate/simplify but never known how?
Does your server have an issue or improvement you've been procrastinating on?
Does your polycule, gaming group, extended family, or collective need internet infrastructure that's stable, yours, and won't break because a forced update came out?
Drop me a message! I can give advice, write solutions, host services, or train you.
I offer a humans-first approach. All technical problems are people problems first. Software should be usable, stable, and sustainable - certainly not flashy or reinvented.
Payment is simply per hour of work, plus hosting fees if applicable.

Racists ain't the only ones with #MutualAid posts.
Between shitty Internet providers (FUCK SPECTRUM!) and everything just being Expensive, shit sucks.
Also dansup still hasn't put his money where his mouth is re: mutual aid (now that's a deep cut as I continue to bring up Old Shit!).
Pettiness aside... I also do stuff like Queer City Blackfolx so Black Q/Ts can have a safer space to just exist. To round out there's also Our Favorite Void webring and my blog, Raintree Ruckus. If you dig what I'm doin', a tip/love gift/beer money helps a lot!
Help me keep my head above water and the website lights on!

USpol; time-sensitive and actionable
The FCC is requesting comments on their plan to force trans and nonbinary television programming to be rated as mature. They're going to use those comments as a barometer to see how much they can get away with, so please comment!
Deadline is 22 May

Not sure who needs to hear it, but Discord's global roll-out of age verification policies were kicked to "the second half of 2026", and the 1st of July is about 6 weeks from now.
Don't assume it's something that went away. Keep your options open.

Noticed a large amount of traffic started coming from Meta/Facebook AI bots crawling public posts, and thus filling our instance storage with 100's of GBs of cached media within 24 hours, much faster than our usual cleanup job would catch.
Suggest blocking the "meta-externalagent" user agent from your web server, and the following IP ranges:
57.141.6.0/24

Gas prices suck.
Spectrum still charged me for Internet even after turning in the hardware AND canceling the Internet portion.
Car payment snafu.
Please help this bitch catch a break!

Tomorrow I begin (with one undergraduate student) my new research project into accessible game development.
We hope to build a couple of simple games this summer using Godot. We might need to buy some art assets (3D models, icons, sounds, etc.), and I'd like to support disabled artists. If you are (or know of) such a person who has some assets available, please drop a link!

Our 1992 Hoi Amiga game has been re-released, including source files! 🥳
Hoi was the predecessor to Moon Child. Prepare, it's a tough old school platformer… I mean… an exciting game challenge! 😉
The game was converted from the original 68000 CPU Assembly code to C via a soon-to-be released transpiler created by our coder.
MacOS + Windows executables:
