ukuro v0.0.1 - again for the first time | https://wyrm.online/kuro.html

Alright ukuro is pretty awesome now.

• F5 or middle click to execute selected text
• F6 or right click to plumb selected text
• Opening a single empty buffer on init causes a directory listing to also be spawned.
• F5, middle or right clicking causes the word under the cursor to be selected if there is no selection. (F6 doesn't do this so directory listing can be a bit more easy-access)
• F5 and middle click use SpawnJob to stream command output to the spool instead of waiting for the command to complete!

i own my own home, spend my time doing meaningful creative work, and have a close knit community that takes care of each other

tell me again how im being left behind ;>

I'll see myself out.

Over a month late on bills and still falling over halfway short on them while late fees keep piling up.

Anything helps.

ukuro (renamed it, shorter and easier to type) is not a bad file manager.

F6 with an empty selection opens the current directory, double click on _most_ filenames fully selects them, then you can hit F6 again to descend the tree or open a file.

also added .. to the listings and it supports either plan9port ls or GNU ls

ok after 3 days #kuro as a #micro plugin is pretty full featured. might do something fancier about dumping command and directory output to dedicated buffers or something but this scratches a lot of the itch

https://forge.lightcrystal.systems/nilix/kuro-micro

got ghetto addressable file support in my plumber. it relies on the micro option parsecursor to be enabled because actually calling BufPane.GotoLocrequires crafting the right userdata to pass over the FFI boundary i guess.

one thing at a time~

i DID my drawtober for the day but im exhausted and i already turned my laptop off so i'll upload it tomorrow ><

made progress on the kuro plugin for micro; my naive plumber can open directories, media files, C headers, and http(s) URLs; tomorrow I'll try to finish it with addressable (text) files and search strings

As I was saying our FIRST episode of PartsHacker will cover projects like #PWNie.

We got so annoyed with how pricey Linux SBCs have become that we started looking for ways to breath new light into old devices, like the iPhone 11.... which we got running Linux.

You really should follow us on YouTube and Patreon... its gonna be lit

cutting it pretty close with my finances. kinda tempting fate to drive to cali in a few days with gas prices, food, and the aeons forbid an emergency happens.

an extra $200 would go a long way

ok i've been debugging weird behavior in my micro plugin all day, and I just verified it is not a bug in my plugin, and it's not a bug in micro itself... it's a bug in voidlinux's micro package =w= time to inspect the srcpkg template...

continuing hacking on the kuro micro plugin, right now it spawns a terminal and lists command output in less because that's what i could get working last night, but i'd like to run the command async, spawn a new buffer via an hsplit, and dump the output there so it can be edited directly just like in acme

learning lua by implementing kuro as micro plugins (listening to my brain that my approach to writing kuro as uxn + 9p was too clever for my own good)

#polycrisis 01.14

girls that just need some moral support

https://wyrm.online/polycrisis_01#p14

was so tired yesterday, didnt get around to my drawtober. today i will catch up and also finish/polish the polycrisis page i haphazardly revealed ><

girfriend who spots you when you redye your hair to make sure it looks gay from every angle

finishing my read of No Bears, None by @rek and @neauoire as i psych myself up to leave for the west coast in 9 days. its so nice to follow your travels and thought process as you proceed, and the little drawings and info blurbs scattered throughout

=w= second half of nwc9 is still pretty challenging, trying to tighten it up and add a couple more tracks i've been thinking about. but it's getting there

I remembered to take cameras with me and was rewarded.
(these are jpegs straight out of the camera)

talked to a friend who has been working with a nonprofit involved with the democratic party

in case there was any doubt, yes they are all braindead alcoholics and so easy to bribe (oracle bribed our probable governor for only 18k)

Released a firmware for the XTE INK 4, it displays text and draws pictures, and wait for it, it remembers your page. That's it, there's no other features.

Anything helps, I'm over here every day working my ass off. I started dollctl from scratch earlier this year and it now has all the makings of a production-ready devops platform. I'm on my way to finishing the first chapter of Polycrisis, now averaging 2 pages per week. I live in a van, I don't drink, and I don't eat out, but money is unfortunately still necessary to make shit happen.

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

➡️ Introducing Brut, the Brutal Router for Unix Tools: https://brut.sh

Brut is a POSIX shell script for building command-line programs composed of many small executables. It is small (~120 lines), but features thorough literate documentation for those of us who still appreciate the value of readable, understandable code.

Programs written with Brut can run entirely from source with no additional dependencies beyond the standard POSIX utilities, which makes them easy to audit and embed.

in the process of migrating all lightcrystal services to be specified as code and deployed automagically by dollctl pipelines :D

The Gender Dysphoria Bible now has its first new page in six years! @Impossible_PhD has contributed a new section on transition regret rates and if a gender transition is worth it. https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/regrets/

For anyone interesting in helping out the site, there are 17 languages that will need this page translated.

ok #dollctl v0.2.1 is released, with sigil and dollcmd also up to date in step

(sigil has basically the same versioning scheme as dollctl but dollcmd has no versioning yet as it doesn't yet have feature parity with sigil)

ok so out of respect to xtractr there's nothing wrong with their library, i was fucking up my upload because i forgot i used a completely nonstandard way to upload my tarballs. i still am just gonna shell out to tar though cause it reduces my compile time dependencies significantly.

all this to say, i have a private IaC repo triggering pipeline runs which automatically rebuilds and uploads a service ^^

love it, dropping xtractr means dollctl's _ONLY_ compile time dependency is quartzgun

yet again, not all implementations are as enlightened as #honk

zip.NewReader: gzip: invalid header

useless library is useless

Who should I thank? My so-called "colleagues," who laugh at me behind my back, all the while becoming famous on my work? My worthless graduate students, whose computer skills appear to be limited to downloading bitmaps off of netnews? My parents, who are still waiting for me to quit "fooling around with computers," go to med school, and become a radiologist? My department chairman, a manager who gives one new insight into and sympathy for disgruntled postal workers?
My God, no one could blame me---no one!---if I went off the edge and just lost it completely one day. I couldn't get through the day as it is without the Prozac and Jack Daniels I keep on the shelf, behind my Tops-20 JSYS manuals. I start getting the shakes real bad around 10am, right before my advisor meetings. A 10 oz. Jack 'n Zac helps me get through the meetings without one of my students winding up with his severed head in a bowling-ball bag. They look at me funny; they think I twitch a lot. I'm not twitching. I'm controlling my impulse to snag my 9mm Sig-Sauer out from my day-pack and make a few strong points about the quality of undergraduate education in Amerika.
If I thought anyone cared, if I thought anyone would even be reading this, I'd probably make an effort to keep up appearances until the last possible moment. But no one does, and no one will. So I can pretty much say exactly what I think.
Oh yes, the acknowledgements. I think not. I did it. I did it all, by myself.

and wow this kid tried to tell me agentic workflows are necessary to build a storefront that can "compete with big corporations"

AI-pilled people are so fucking dumb

dogfooding dollctl CICD and dollcmd (the dollctl CLI client) hard rn. almost have a working service deployment from a private IAC repo...

i can lock in... i can lock in ><

wow i slept in hardcore ><

I heard you little freaks (complementary) liked this kinda stuff. #Mosstodon

first skate session since i fucked up my leg and then got sick. my lungs are still recovering from the bronchitis so my stamina is very low but im glad to be back on it

hey y'all, i always hate do this (and if i am doing it the situation is desperate) but i'm needing some financial assistance. rent is due and because of some unexpected events i'm short. i've just started a job but won't be getting paid for about two weeks so i'm asking for help. i'm not even going to bother putting a number on it because it's a lot, but needless to say i need all the help i can get. as always please don't send anything unless you can definitely afford to. venmo and BTC are preferred because it's the easiest way to send in my rent, but i've provided a few other options as well. thank y'all 🖤 🖤 🖤 (boosting for visibility is also appreciated.)

finally got the little homeserver back online <3 devops days ahead

get a rare message back from a company on indeed with a few questions to answer

"messaging for this employer is currently disabled, check back later" what the FUCK

drawing polycrisis

all of a sudden out loud: aw yeah that's gay

Hey what fresh new hell is this? Perpetual begging?

I'd prefer not. And -actually- catching up on bills would make it possible for me to STAY on top of them. Have so many projects in the pipe to try and keep the lights on but its hard to get them done when I'm THIS economically strapped.

wow this element parked behind me has probably 30k+ in aftermarket parts and addons and he doesnt even live in it T-T

he parked downtown and went mountain bike riding... like what?

i am 100% dependent on donations to make ends meet currently. i live in my van and have few expenses (fuel+insurance on the van, phone bill, cloud bills, and food basically) but having all that accounted for lets me focus on my work, ie polycrisis and my open source dev+research

in a couple weeks i'm gonna be leaving Santa Fe for the west coast to see some people and switch it up for a while, so i'm gonna dump a bunch of money into fuel. would love to be able to offset that preemptively
