Ghost in the Bourne shell @rrix@cybre.space

i'm rrix, i rapidly oscillate between too-much-computer hobbyism and hating every aspect of computing and networked society. my programming passion project is a set of self-hosting emacs org-mode documents which constitute a personal knowledge base + flashcard system, a NixOS+Emacs OS (https://cce.whatthefuck.computer/cce) and a website engine (https://engine.arcology.garden/) which is self-hosted. eventually i would like to host an ActivityPub instance and RSS feed exposing my journal and maybe you can follow me that way some day.
i work part time on data rights projects and ride my bike around when i'm not. i learned about the darkest sides of the VC tech grift so that you don't have to.
embrace queerness, embrace intersectionality, embrace the beautiful complexity of a world that cannot make sense.

i live tweet Hackers (1995) and Ghost in the Shell (1995) too often, sorry.

i only look at this font and this face all day long, how would i know?

this serves as a minimal setup for getting my org-fc setup to work on Nix-on-Droid too, eventually, i think. https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid/blob/master/README.md

this is what i did today instead of eating lunch

i just wrote a shell script inside of an elisp function inside of an org mode link. fear me

[[elisp:(compile "seq 0 1 | while read n; do echo "use</home/rrix/Code/scad/bike-crate.scad> sliced(half=$n);" | openscad -o /home/rrix/Code/scad/bike-crate-$n.stl -; done")]]

not many people can say the founder of soylent stole their mattress

the bassline in pastorial whiskers still gets me bouncin' a decade and change later https://theflashbulb.bandcamp.com/track/pastorial-whiskers

i'm going for the jukebox :)

convincing the local cafe to put the flashbulb on the speakers and then walking out ;)

me : server take a nap!!
server: look at this graph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIlNIVXpIns

taking down my server to update my postgres database 5 major versions, wish me luck

it's a dry heat

My very first thought stepping off the plane in Vegas: i have to get the fuck out of here

set up my DEFCON EAP wifi and got my tailscale exit-node setup working again, woo. weird issue where I can't route to services on my tailscale exit node, but i was able to set up my NAS at home as one to stop-gap instead.

Had to rebuild my NixOS with a new firewall option, too:

# warning: Strict reverse path filtering breaks Tailscale exit node use and some subnet routing setups. Consider setting `networking.firewall.checkReversePath` = 'loose'

finally some headline tech news i can get behind https://www.techmeme.com/#220808p19

it only took me four hours to properly set a version in a python package that some dork had set up to be written by github actions when a tag is auto-published to pypi via automated untrusted CI and get my NixOS system to build again.

might fuck around and become one of those deaf-mutes
