3 weeks left of grocerymaxxing ><

also page 9 of polycrisis is gonna be soooooo cute, i did the first couple passes of the lineart today ^^

love being an alienated parent

highly recommend it... /s

are there any IT co-ops that are doing alright right now? curious about the business model and viability of the strategy in the current situation... as a solo freelancer it looks pretty bleak all things considered #askFedi

#ryudov2 e2e test 2 complete. everything works although there is a build error in the cursor theme that doesn't affect the variant i actually use in the config :shrug:

some mornings be like that

there is a mosquito infestation inside the co op. i got bit yesterday and again today, on top of seeing quite a few of them. my guess is they bred wherever in the roof there was pooled water (its a notoriously leaky roof that should have been fixed years ago instead of investing millions into the avanyu store but yk...) and after the roof was patched earlier this week they are effectively trapped in the store

External Attachment:

paying the price of slow disk speeds to avoid thrashing my disk by putting my VM disk image on a usb drive :')

in the middle of ryudov2 e2e tests in a fresh VM

the environment is pretty complete at this point:

• openbox + tint2 (custom forks for the way minimized windows are handled)
• rio-like window management with some shell scripts bound to the root menu
• intuitive keybinds for window management and stuff like volume and brightness control
• st, pcmanfm-qt, surf, and mblaze for the big 4 default apps (mblaze, isync, and msmtp need to be configured by hand for email to work but ofc they do)
• external storage menu with udiskie and openbox pipe menus
• steppenwolf gtk2, gtk3, gtk4, qt5, qt6, and audacious/winamp themes with matching openbox and dmenu themes, and solarized-esque terminal theme (sorry we are darkmode only rn)
• commonality icon theme for that extra retro feel
• pipewire-pulse working out of the box
• a bunch of multimedia stuff, signal, and vivaldi installed by default
• optionally also install a bunch of hacker tools by passing -x to the configure script
• plan9-style user dirs (~/bin, ~/tmp, ~/n, ~/lib)
• a handful of wallpapers created by yours truly

so far i've been enjoying van life. joyful things:

• during my breaks and after work at my stupid day job i can just pop across the parking lot to my van and have my kitchen at my disposal
• bed is spacious despite all appearances; the moonroof and rear windows let in the perfect amount of light in the morning
• my 100W solar panel and 256Wh battery are more than sufficient for my electricity needs (i have a first gen x1 carbon and a remarkable 2 and a midrange android phone and a portable speaker and it's summer in the desert. i know fall/wintertime in cali will not be so kind to my setup but it should be good enough)
• i know which cafes in town have the best internet (shoutout iconik red) and i got a membership to the community center for the shower and sauna while i'm still here for another 5-6 weeks; socialism is pretty cool

also did a couple in situ self portraits-

#polycrisis 01.08

a wild business woman appears!

https://wyrm.online/polycrisis_01

ok i still have to find time (and a good connection to abuse) to run this e2e another time but ryudov2 is looking pretty good in my test VM

https://forge.lightcrystal.systems/nilix/ryudov2

i also added an "extended" package list which has a lot of the tools power users and IT professionals might want, based on the package list in @leah's hrmpf project (still need to go over it and remove anything redundant that i didn't catch in my naive pass)

the heel panel on my OTHER boot started coming off now (3 or 4 months after the first which ofc already got cobbled). rude

i just wanna build a beautiful little desktop system but i gotta touch groceries....

we are about 4 or 5 lines of code away from having a fully working ryudov2 setup on top of a fresh void install with just a couple commands and some time spent downloading and compiling

Hello honknet and beyond!

I'm looking to get #fediHired, available for contract work starting in October!

I am a software and systems generalist, having built and worked on all sorts of systems in different types of environments from education to small business to enterprise. I have lots (6 years) of professional experience in .NET, javascript frameworks, TSQL, mongodb, docker, cloud native stuff, etc, and personally I build a lot of stuff in go, C, shell, and vanilla JS, and I have over 15 years experience as a Linux and BSD sysadmin. I can learn new stuff pretty easily especially when I'm hands on!

I'm looking for part time or full time contract work in any kind of #softwareEngineering, #devOps, or #softwareDesign role that is demonstrably not pure evil. Particular areas of interest are resilient distributed systems; accessible, friendly and low footprint user interfaces; and internal tooling/infra/DX. Working on stuff that actually matters like alternative power, food systems, or comms, or anything arts-adjacent would be ideal.

I prefer remote work but am open to relocation.

My CV is at https://wyrm.online/cv

been cooking vegan lately

this is tofu skin, okra, wood ear mushroom and ginger yakisoba!

finally got a taker for my queen sized futon, now the only big logistical thing left with moving out is mailing my ex her stuff... inb4 she ignores me till the very last minute (she still hasnt told me the new address she and the kiddo moved to or given me an update on putting together the money to ship it... just stellar isnt it)

The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/

But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083

I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.

「20XX: the war against ai」 continues

ok while i was waiting for laundry i added some more stuff to the #ryudov2 repository, we're approaching a usable system here. can't wait till i get some time to get it all wired up and test this end to end

dz: hrt boob stuff

3 years into HRT my boobs are still like, regularly flaring up in growth phases and being like "hi hello we're here wouldn't it feel nice if somebody touched us" when i'm trying to focus on things @_@

1 week till the lease is up
5 weeks till my termination at the co op
7 weeks till i hit the road

ugh i cleared out a bunch of stuff from the house and while i was at the thrift store i picked up a couple nice bags (a canvas duffel and a backpack) to upgrade the storage modules that were a bit too limiting

tomorrow i clean the bathroom and kitchen really well

but tonight! blade or die!!

chile seasonnnnn

i got a mushroom and green chile pizza from Bruja's last night and the green chile was so on point. reheating the leftovers now and whooo baby thats some good chile!

uxn affirmations

Your stacks are not leaking
You didn't mix up INC and INC2
You made sure to flip your conditions before refactoring code into a conditional lambda
You cleaned up the return stack before using JMP2r
You are not passing variables on the stack between vector calls
You're using relative pointers imminently after pushing them onto the stack
You are having fun

wondering why my mobile data is literally dial up speeds since yesterday

check space weather

oh yeah an M-class flare yesterday, checks out

9 days left before the lease is up - have a schedule for taking advantage of days off work to do the really annoying stuff...

it feels like i JUST did this... the past year went by so fast T-T

ok big progress over half the furniture has been extricated from the house. of the remainder, the big and heavy items are just the futon frame and the 2 cabinets in the spare room... might at least make a run with the cabinets later today after i take some downtime

JCVI-syn3A, a synthetic cell with 493 genes (452 protein-coding; 41 RNA), is the simplest free living organism known. ~80% of the protein-coding genes are functionally annotated, but we still don’t know what the other 20% do (except that removing any of them makes it unviable). There’s also a whole-cell kinetic model for ~98% of the enzymatic reactions in the cell.

This is the real frontier of artificial life, not masses of linear algebra over a text model…

"The season of the Smoke Moon drifts from Tiliard’s roots upward. It rises from the shores of the Catoptric, the pipework of rhizomes and limestone where falling pebbles spark like flint in the reeds. Green witch-flames burp to life on the water’s surface, both guideposts and hazards to passing riverboats. A blanket of black cloud rolls in from the fields as farmers light the harvest’s detritus."

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@nogodsnomasters/117114761590039464

yesterday a fellow ex tech worker came up to me at the cafe while i was working on ryudov2 and we started chatting, and we shared this kind of feeling that you have to identify oppression in your life directly and be open enough to the risks to say "fuck no"

i had the additional observation that as someone who had a meteoric rise in my career, transitioned, and then went into poverty while the world falls apart around me, i have a very different relationship to risk, truth, and fulfillment than most, and for example working at the co op i see people of all ages just accepting the oppression of these low wages and gruelling hours while management gets a living wage and plenty of time off and nobody even THINKS to hold the board accountable- i suggested a strike one time and they thought i was joking...

here's a report I wrote in which I rant about my time at a transgender activism conference while slowly losing my mind
