@neauoire ohhh i love this, been a minute since i read it - thanks for bringing it back up from the depths ^^
So since I'm on that freelance game again... Any #fedihire interest for a generalist software artisan? I consider myself expert level in go, C, C#, POSIX shell, and web technologies (including Angular and React, both of which I hate viscerally but am very good at), and I'm a fast study both when it comes to new domains and new tools. I'm pounding the pavement locally with some interesting leads but nothing concrete yet. In the meantime I'm writing a tiny devops toolkit called dollctl (https://forge.lightcrystal.systems/nilix/dollctl). If you're interested you can find my CV here: https://nilfm.cc/cv ; If you like the software I write and have a few bucks to spare I accept donations on stripe: https://lightcrystal.systems/support

created a mock-up of a visualizer/debugger/ide for the simplest muxn variant (muxn100: 512 bytes of memory, 16 byte stacks, console-only) the goal would be to make simple #uxn puzzles/programs feel more like a zachtronics game

Hey everyone, I need some help to keep my head above water for Februrary. The job search has been rough, and while I’ve been pushing hard to get back on my feet, but I’m at a point where I need some help to get through this stretch. I’ve set a goal of $1,400 on Ko-fi to cover my essential living costs. This includes my rent, utilities, and bills. Anything remaining will go toward food and basic necessities. If you have the means to contribute or can give this a boost, it would mean a lot to me. Thank you for your help.
dollctl progress is good. service management is all implemented in both dollctl (server) and sigil (client), logs are persistent, and the sigil CSS is a little rough but slowly approaching something useable. next up is probably the CI/CD module so that i can automate service deployments

@256k yeah i think the t420 is the "quintessential" but anything from the t400, t500, or x series should have excellent hardware support (i use a first gen x1 carbon and it is very good to me). i would stay away from the p series as ive seen them shit bricks at work too many times

i'm unofficially officially consulting/freelancing. will put in my notice at work at some point this week but... i just can't keep doing it, working on and with systems i find repugnant, for shareholder profit... so ya heard it here first - Iris Lightshard, LightCrystal Systems - open for business. I'm looking for all sorts of contract work, not just software but also UI/HCI, graphic design, network infra, IT org consulting, etc. in the meantime while i look for paid work i'm primarily working on dollctl

A reminder that if you're advocating for the use of LLMs, you're advocating funding a surveillance state. You pay for tokens, you evangelize the tools, the companies behind them make money, that money circulates until hits a project, contract, etc. that aids in the surveillance and oppression of others. Do not participate in laundering ethics and morality.
