dollctl service layer is built ^^

now i'm starting to build the frontend for dollctl, called sigil, which is just a web dashboard that interacts with dollctl across multiple hosts

i'm unofficially officially consulting/freelancing.

will put in my notice at work at some point this week but... i just can't keep doing it, working on and with systems i find repugnant, for shareholder profit...

so ya heard it here first - Iris Lightshard, LightCrystal Systems - open for business. I'm looking for all sorts of contract work, not just software but also UI/HCI, graphic design, network infra, IT org consulting, etc.

in the meantime while i look for paid work i'm primarily working on dollctl

drives me insane that suddenly everyone excited about cleaning up technical debt now that it'll help the AI write code better+faster. For some reason that's more interesting than helping ME write code better+faster.

Voila, these are the last 3 rabbits of the series :)...

Dev, Rek and Ninj rabbit.

Thanks for following along~ I will probably continue to draw/share more rabbits, casually, but wont share them on this thread since they're not part of the core "100 rabbits" :>.

edit: All the rabbits are here:

an ink drawing of some humanoid rabbits all sitting on a bunch of mossy rocks. Dev rabbit has a striped shirt and snakebite piercings, Rek rabbit has spotted fur and is wearing a black hoodie, and Ninj rabbit is basically a little ninja with ears. Ninj is waving and saying "Holla!"

A reminder that if you're advocating for the use of LLMs, you're advocating funding a surveillance state. You pay for tokens, you evangelize the tools, the companies behind them make money, that money circulates until hits a project, contract, etc. that aids in the surveillance and oppression of others.

Do not participate in laundering ethics and morality.

just fyi im working on a devops/cloudops dashboard for self hosted clouds - informed by enterprise grade tools but taking a permacomputing design approach, and the primary blocker is burnout and time due to my dayjob. if i got donations to support my work, i could yknow, do it full time

muxn is on nanochat!

(electrum.rom requires both console/exec and system/extension so this was a pretty significant bit of work. glad it's finally working!)

yet another muxn screenshot. the window is using a set of warm orange colors. the guest ROMs are: catclock, theme, perifs, and electrum (a nanochat client).

the chat window shows d_m announcing the good news that electrum is running in muxn.

Day 16 of the amazing #decemberadventure

Ive been using MPD as my music player for a while, and I finally decided to write my own client in #uxn!

I am planing to have the app have a Windows-95 looking interface once its done! I got polling of the last song and pause/play working! Will most likely setup next/prev track buttons, then add the ability to select a playlist and toggle shuffle-mode!

https://git.sr.ht/~angelwood/marmalade

Screenshot of a super basic UI, all it has is a mouse cursor, a pause/play button and the song title. The song playing is "Neko Case - Star witness"

Support #PeerTube

Google has fully capitulated to Trump and is actively protecting human rights violators and war crimes perpetrators from accountability.

“It is outrageous that YouTube is furthering the Trump administration’s agenda to remove evidence of human rights violations and war crimes from public view”

some things not immediately evident in the screenshot that are fun to note for the nerds

  • audacious is running on my homeserver with the window being forwarded to the desktop
  • i have the game controller and svkbd setup working (https://nilfm.cc/game_controller_desktop_config.html), but without the compositing and openbox rules since i'm not using those this time around
  • audio working flawlessly via pipewire/wireplumber
  • zhome is a pool with 500GB of spinning rust and 120GB of SSD cache
  • /media/x8 is an ext4 filesystem on an external SSD with case folding enabled, created for PSO2 but also has a couple other games and backups on it

#decemberAdventure day 6

underbbs has more standardized logging and console output, standard panic recovery, and some UI niceties

also finished the bulk of configuration/setup on my new desktop install, which has been renamed "proteus"

i forgot how nice windowmaker is, also how beautiful the touch of skeuomorphicism is without any compositing
