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

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 ><

#MutualAid , begposting

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

"oh cool, very simple and no red flags as of yet" click click... wait what?

"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

This is Cali, a pseudo-robotgirl. There's a brief description and some extra text on my website: https://hamsternet.neocities.org/gallery/20260909_flatcali/

i'm a spooky girl, in a spooky world

idk why people even bother with firefox at this point lol

according to the models it will stop raining after tomorrow and we will have a string of sunny weather by the weekend

i cant wait T-T

constant rain while youre sick and live in a small vehicle is pretty immiserating.

the other day (saturday i think?) we got like a full day of sunlight and it felt sooo good on my skin

#polycrisis 01.11

no really this is happening

https://wyrm.online/polycrisis_01#p11

just finished another polycrisis page, will upload it tomorrow. im feeling very excited for drawtober also. i have a few ideas in the queue already and im glad to have the time and approaching the wellbeing to really lock in on my illustrations.

also plopped my server into its new home finally so over the next few days i will be able to resume lightcrystal offsite backups and set up some fresh CICD pipelines to put that recent dollctl work to practical use

as for now, it's time to settle into bed...

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

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.

good news- fever broke and sleep wasnt a horrendous gauntlet of pain

bad news- i have been awake since 3

i'll take it i guess ><

RE https://troet.cafe/@vegancoder/117341187241199830

its not like people like me are ignoring this aspect (capitalism as designed, it isnt rocket science), its that we see that a better way of life is possible and that there is value in investing in it now, not just waiting for the rest of yall to come around...

so who is out there building mecha so we can defend ourselves against autonomous weapons?

ugh i wanna work on kuro but i legit don't have the spoons for it rn :< guess i'll play SMT5

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM brakence is blurring the line between art and dark magic again!

Real talk folks, is it ADHD when you are organizing your room, find a decrepit Nook that you previously hacked in the past to run #uxn Oquonie and decide impromptu to make some paspartú and frame it?

goddamn goddamn =w=

girlfriend made me oolong tea with honey to sip on while i hack (i am parked in her driveway)

love that woman so much T-T

ok ive been rotting long enough today. i guess i'll have a snack and hack on dollctl for a bit (have to put name validation on non-upsert operations and add a method to rerun a pipeline that, eg failed for something like transient network failure)

Mirta-Chan 💊

I'm sure some of you are familiar with those memes where medications are turned into waifus...

Well, for various reasons, I've now made Mirta-chan.

so i binged the two gundam hathaway films and... wow

the direction, the sound design, the emotion, the mecha...

looking forward to the third one in like 2 years lol

nap time...

the thing i have dreaded since moving into the van has happened- got sick ><

so i didnt unmake the bed this morning, went and picked up cough drops and osha spray and snacks and some ramen, and now i will rot in my little sickness pod and finish Gundam Hathaway 🫠

#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

NUTRIENTS

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

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
