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 don't wanna go to my stupid day job tomorrow... lowkey my fucked up leg (bruised kneecap blading last week and now my whole leg is kinda fucked from compensating) might not let me, i'll see how i feel in the morning i guess

learning a lot by rolling my own containers... the CICD module is gonna be completley gutted ^^;

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.

@wwj231 @ShadSterling @ekaitz_zarraga @jenniferplusplus more than just this, now if you signal your alignment as being against this methodology, in the past it meant "ohh this person knows what they're doing, that's added value in code review, architecture, tech debt maintenance, etc"; now it's "this person is dangerous to our internal power structures and ways of working, don't hire them"

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.

@xyhhx i agree with devine that reducing your other electric needs is gonna make a bigger dent than your rig assuming you're not using a full-blown desktop system. i have a first generation x1 carbon and my solar setup is a 100W panel and 256Wh of battery storage. I can generally get away with fully charging the machine twice on a full solar battery, and if I have bright sunlight i basically have infinite power

Where the fuck is the value coming from in a single asset category portfolio... where the assets in question are obviously fucking worthless?

I need everyone to stop following the VCs around and trying to fix their problems for them.

Just outlaw laying ppl off using claude or whatever and be done with it like China.

Make it legal for an employee to NOT use AI/LLMs and legal for them to NOT train their replacement.

DONE. Industry dead.

it's weird seeing this stuff with omarchy.

ryudov2 is not a distro and plan9port/linux is just a state of mind. it took me a month to build, refine, and test the install scripts and configs while juggling a full time job, moving into my van, and inching along with a handful of other projects.

i built it because i wanted to just be able to say "yeah this is what i use. you can try it if you want". that's where it stands rn. i have other things to work on like kuro, dollctl, my visual art, and my music.

i'm leaving my grocery job in 3 weeks because it's destroying my body, doesn't pay well, and steals my time which is increasingly precious. i'm trying to be the change that i want to see in the world but i can't do it without help. if you're able and you resonate with what i do, please drop me a few bucks to keep my little studio afloat: https://lightcrystal.systems/support

wow so if i import the PDFs exported from my remarkable to Krita instead of GIMP they look a lot closer to what they look like on the device. good to know. also yes i'm teaching myself krita rn, hopefully i'll have something nice to share soon ;>

re: page 5's main panel i suppose its not the anatomy as much as the facial structure and the hair and the lack of a sense of depth in general. in any case that is the main panel i wanna touch up

but like for example i really like how page 6 came out, the flatter shading and use of black on Rena and the overlays contrasts with the lens distortion and textures of the background and the reflected light in her eyes <3
