reasons to be late to standup:

a lot of noise here, but kind of interesting result

i spent quite a number of hours the past month trying to find out what broke in felt sometime between the end of my gurps campaign and now.

finally having discovered it was not anything to do with code but that while i migrated the assets and users DB from the old server i did not migrate the main DB, so even though the metadata about the table existed in the users DB and the assets exist in the storage directory, the table itself did not exist in the main DB and so the websocket connection could never open because the subprotocol which must be one of the table keys in the main DB couldn't be negotiated =w=

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche on being gay and buddhist: "your sexual orientation has nothing to do with understanding or not understanding. You could be gay, you could be lesbian, you could be straight. We never know which one will get enlightened first.

Probably lesbians."

Today I learned about this!

It's the first accurate image of a black hole, created by astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978, using an IBM 7040 computer with punch cards and plotting it out by hand with India ink.

i think im gonna table indie software dev for a while and focus on djing and illustration in my free time. part of it is that my computers and the software i use "just work" at this point and when im using my laptop for art i get the most joy out of it; the other part is that ideally id like to pivot out of this hellish profession before im forced to for not drinking the koolaid...

i hate how normalized it is to put pesticides/herbicides on public lawns :<

ddg's anomaly detection is really starting to piss me off

my 2 year hrt-iversiry is coming up and has me thinking. before, i was always so lanky (regardless of how much i ate, i could not put on fat if i tried) and felt so disconnected from my body and my emotions, to the point i did keto for 5 years just to feel some form of fucked up control and connection to my body and was constantly suppressing my emotions through cannabis and alcohol. now i feel at home in my skin, with soft flesh in all the right spots and a nice rack, and my emotional connection to myself and others is salient to the point i found it easy to quit drinking and no longer smoke weed with any regularity. when i started this journey i had no idea that i would be so happy with all these changes - i orginally thought i just wanted hair reduction and the other effects were "if that happens i guess its ok". but you cant fake it. the truth will set you free

There is a counter-campaign to call the payment processors and demand they reverse the censorship, see here for who to call and write https://bsky.app/profile/meltingcomet.com/post/3luqlzgxkz222

A lot of these payment processors are headquartered in California. If you're a vendor that's been discriminated against (for example, if you're an LGBTQ artist whose content has been censored) you can file a civil rights complaint at https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/

New California state law may also be needed to require large payment processors to accept payments for any legal business, similar to how a utility or railroad have to serve everyone. Talk to your state legislators. 4/

security nightmare at work almost over, new mix ready for final mix and release, this has been one hell of a week

yes you will be very happy you let the waf handle it, trust

are you using the new command? it's in unetconfd. it's literally on sysptkm. it's configurable via xchwnt. it's literally under /usr/share/pnetdx2. you can probably grep for the qvjconf. you can update it via bungpkg. update via bungpkg. fetch it with bungpkg. you can bungpkg it. bungpkg has it for you. bungpkg has it for you.

1. schedule time to video call with the ex wife and (more importantly) the kiddo
2. time rolls around
3. ex is offline/unresponsive
4. rinse and repeat
