i didnt really plan my lesson for today. my brain says keep going with html but my heart says just teach him uxn ><

i will present a few options and ask what he wants to do today i guess

dogfooding #dollctl on zircon (this host) now; it was largely painless.

next on my list is setting up the forge's networking properly so it can reach the other instances and then i can set up some nice pipelines for automation, and i have a couple ideas for cmdline dollctl clients of various shapes.

the wind is crazy and it's been hailing on and off, a good day to stay cozy at the desk with some tea :>

#honkers ; does anybody know what happened to Ted?

Also does anybody have an up-to-date clone of honk? it appears the version i'm running is newer than the version i have the source for and the wayback machine doesn't have consistent snapshots of the source :<

#dollctl is getting very close to useable

gave a presentation today and it was well received! recording will be available eventually.

latest updates:

• VM module is working well. virtual disks, NICs, and CDs are managed along with the VMs that use them in a streamlined declarative way; resources can't be destroyed or changed while a VM is using them
• service management and CICD pipelines have been debugged and Deployment steps can seamlessly deploy and restart a service
• services now support an optional user, group, and custom environment variables
• pipeline Test and Build steps now run in a shell for more flexibility

spent all day yeterday testing and debugging the VM module of #dollctl. it can now create and destroy virtual resources and run/shutdown VMs through the web API. today i will test other configs (more disks, different network setup, etc) and switch gears back to web client #sigil

proteus has been upgraded!

• / is the same, on a 250G SSD
• /home is now a zpool (zhomeng) on a 1T SSD
• zhomeng/pso2 is a case-insensitive zfs filesystem mounted on ~/lib/pso2 where PSO2 is installed

and now that i'm not using a hybrid drive setup proteus's third (120G) SSD which used to be the hybrid drive's cache layer is used for swap (not that i really ever need it but just in case)

tired: servermaid
wired: mistress of the network

Loving the reshares and words of support but sadly it'd be nice to make progress on our fundraiser sooner rather than later so we can de-stress.

Lately I've got the tiny human 50/50 after the courts threw out my counterparts false claims now THREE times.

I've been facing a ton of online and in-person harassment from my ex's mob of vigilantes, cops & courts have had to be involved and the legal situation is rather active.

#ParentingWhileBlack

Currently looking for a new employment (remote and EU only), thought to try to get #fedihired as well.
Most of my ~20 year experience I dealt with either very low-level kernel/user-level (often embedded) C+asm or distributed backend (Go, Erlang, Java).
I would love to prioritize the former and not opposed to learning something new at this point.

"None of these alternatives are as polished as the big corporate platform that's doing shady things!"

Yeah, buddy. You'll never get free if you cling to polish. Embrace the scruffynet.

These two images are the entire story of open source software support in this world, in a nutshell.

Exhibit one is the list of companies who are sponsoring the Linux Foundation, a murderer's row of the largest and most powerful hosting and services companies in the world.

Exhibit two is one dude scrambling to keep the lights on after a raid failure because KTLO for the servers that everyone uses to _download Linux_ are "outside the scope" of the Linux Foundation's "main duties".

ok i switched icon themes from Material Solarized Suru to Commonality and it's both chunky and cute, goes very hard :3

Hot take: looking for a single silver-bullet Discord replacement is solving the wrong problem. Corporate power has pushed us towards everything-apps, but it's OK for the tool you use to communicate with other users of an open source project to look different from the tool you use to text your spouse and the tool you use to run voice chats with your gaming guilds.

so, it reduces the immediacy of seeing and editing the schedule via the API directly but i think im gonna not implement the cron module in dollctl cause you can just do the same stuff with a service... less is more?

so i have confirmed that clothespins + a steamy bathroom works well for refreshing knife pleats; the moar u know

Go 1.26 is out, and the announcement says:

"Over the next few weeks, follow-up blog posts will cover some of the topics in more detail. Check back later."

So you can wait a few weeks OR you can read my interactive Go 1.26 tour right away:

#quartzgun's rateLimiter and middleware packages received a breaking update in v0.6.0, as I standardized the RateLimiter interface (along with of course fixing the implementations).

projects will have to be slightly updated to build with v0.6 and higher ><

#dollctl pipelines have been debugged and confirmed working, and #sigil has been cleaned and refined now with proper roles and aria-live attributes on a bunch of the UI and the affordance that any non-button that is clickable uses the accent color so it looks like a link ^^

i've been on that underground techno grind for the past 24 hours and it's very healing

another centralized service: goes down
me: sips coffee

low key need me that SGI espresso maker

the steam machine reminds me a lot of those purpose built high end unix workstaitons in the 90s

low key forgot about luakit; qutebrowser but it's not python, i'm here for it

my downtime today consisted of reading some plan9 papers, i think i need help lol

The blog post is written and published.

Sysadmin In The LLM Age

Boosts on this post are appreciated, thank you.

Most Americans don't realize exactly how wrapped up in the war machine their lives are.

Have a 401k? What do you think is creating those returns? Fossil fuels, prisons, defense contractors, weapons, surveillance software.

Oh you divested from those? Well your bank didn't.

The major tech platforms you use are data brokers selling location information on immigrants and dissidents, funding surveillance marketed as "smart cities", and vying for DoD contracts.

Capitalism means complicity.

today i mail my cursed windows machine back from whence it came

i suppose to clarify a point from an earlier conversation that might have been confusing or seemded contradictory (ie, understanding vs knowledge):

most Americans are aware that there is rot in our society; many are even aware of the twisted history of this place; but few even dare to consider that there has been and continues to be a nexus of pure evil that drives this history forward with all its might. even many of those who are aware of it, do not have a full or even realistic picture of what it is, how it propagates and maintains power, and how to fight it.

does this mean, as an example, the baby anarchist you meet on the street but is still stuck to Meta platforms is a bigot? fuck no; it means they still have a lot to learn; knowing who your enemy is is only the first step; effectively fighting this spiritual battle is a life-long practice
