it's crazy how much of western esotericism comes down to cis dudes being either volcels or gooners but that's because everything is about desire

re: ph question

@Venefilyn no meat, sugar,or alcohol

also, to my great disdain, if i have too much cheese amd green chile in the same meal (like, take it easy on pizza) that will also trigger it

and finally, low quality or synthetic ingredients that may be contaminated with heavy metals or other weird stuff are another nono

i’m wearing an ankle-length blue jean skirt that makes it slightly hard to walk

so i’ve decided to just bunny hop around the house

it’s fucking fun!

THIS is the levity, the childlike whimsey, that conservative politicians fear so gravely

lil bunny girl hopping around her home is a threat to the structural power of capital

If a 15 year old on the other side of the world builds a botnet and defaces the wrong website US and Western polices forces will move heaven and earth to extradite a child.

But if a 40 year old white guy builds a multi-Billion dollar botnet powered IP theft ring and threatens us all with "world annihilation" we're expected to INVEST in to him.

Two systems be two systemsing.

@gosha @vegancoder i also really enjoyed this talk and i think the "spreadsheets are turing complete" is NOT saying the tools dont matter, its saying the perception of the tools are subject to systemic bias

i particularly enjoyed the comparison of LLMs to chess engines. like, yeah, chess is a battle of wit between humans, and we have a reasonable social argument for not using chess engines in competition even though they are fit for purpose. wrt LLMs, the flow you described is just replacing one of the humans in pair programming with a bot, and yes it is arguably fit for purpose but there are many reasons we should prefer actual pair (or larger group) programming to it.

feeling a lot better after binging gundam, napping, and sparingly using the osha and cough drops. still sick ofc, but a whole different vibe from this morning when i couldnt even swallow or speak too loudly without intense pain

#dollctl CICD is ready for prime time ^^

  • pipelines are basically just defined by a name and a dockerfile
  • they checkout the commit which triggered the run, write the dockerfile, and use podman to run it
  • results include start/end time, status, and standard output and error streams
  • runs are queued- the queue has a configurable number of lanes for running pipelines in parallel, and if the same pipeline is run in two lanes, they use a mutex to avoid thrashing each others container (which also uses this name)
  • resource names across the board are now validated according to a decently strict regex to make sure nothing stupid happens when shelling out

nilix posted 23 Sep 2026 18:23 +0000

ok there's a simple queue for pipeline runs in dollctl now. next i'm gonna make it into a map of queues so that different pipelines can run in parallel but each pipeline has to queue its runs so they don't try to build/run/destroy the same container or trample on each others external resources

nilix posted 23 Sep 2026 17:11 +0000

ok as much as i wanted the extra money i am prioritizing my physical health so the remainder of my time at the food co op (6 shifts) has been cut short

i will now be able to devote my full attention to things that matter. for today, i will start by adding queueing to the dollctl cicd runner and building out some gitops

well this was a learning experience but i'm not trying to bang my head against the wall... as was mentioned yesterday, the UNIX way is to build on existing tools... shelling out to podman will be more robust anyway =,=

wonder if this could be because i built my chroot with base-container instead of base-container-full? in researching the causes of this i don't really see any other obvious reason why this behavior would present itself (again, the architecture is the same as the host)

if i can't get it to work i'll just shell out to podman T-T

One of the first game we ever published for #Uxn was Donsol, five years ago, to celebrate, we've made a whole new version of the game with new monster sprites, better resolution and animations.

We had originally made it with the Playdate in mind, but they didn't want it so we're making available to play it directly in the itchio page, or via your favourite Uxn emulator!

We hope that you enjoy it.
Have a good autumn. :)

it's a mess rn (not pushing this code until it builds) but i actually worked on this for like a full 8 hours today. i estimate a couple more days like this to have the CICD module completely redone with ghetto containerization

I've never given a talk before.

Sure, I've been on stage hundreds of times. But i've never done the "give a tech talk" thing.

I wonder what that'd be like.

Would it be loaded with feelings? Would I be animated and playful? Would the subject matter be something very dear to me? Would there be weird technical details and unexpected twists and disquieting quirks? Would ZERO VOID make an appearance?

Well… you're about to find out.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you don’t have to be a saint to oppose injustice.

You can be a regular, everyday person – flaws and all – and still oppose genocide.

It’s amazing to me that a rapist, war criminal paedophile is president of the US and we’re ruled by psychopaths and sociopaths and yet anyone who opposes fascism has to have never made a mistake their entire lives or it’s a gotcha moment.

You can fuck right off with that bullshit.
