thanks for the fuckin dirt babe

Weeeeee really need to be figuring out how to build outside of the traditional internet. Meshtastic and such are doing a really good job at what they do but it’s not enough, that isn’t infrastructure. I’d love to get plugged in with any folks working on the software side of that, i’m a hardware and infrastructure guy myself so like if a node needs to get on a roof or somesuch i can make it happen! Tap in bro PLEASE

been interested in permacomputing as a framework for this

have been really enjoying this essay (from 2004!) wrt permacomputing. the modern tech industry is obsessed with whether software can scale, whether a prototype is a viable business, whether code is maintainable indefinitely. it doesnt have to be any of those things! if you know how to code, you can write software just for yourself, or your community, or for one event. and its ok for software to just be that, to be hyperlocal, to not have its own life, to be specific to what you (yes, you!) actually *need* your computer to do.

also if anyone reading doesnt have a technical background im gna plug this workshop i ran on beginners html and css for london permacomputing club. cant reccomend learning browser basics enough as a starting point for getting into permacomputing. we all hate react web apps taking over everything, but as far as standards go, you can do so much with vanilla html, css, and js, with zero dependencies, and it is guaran-fucking-teed to work the same in twenty years. and its fun!

Jumping from child care to private security really messes with you. I keep saying "oopsie daisy" and encouraging drunk folks to "go home, drink some water and take a nap, and let's try again in 24 hours, okay?" Best part by far is that it's working. Guy went like he was going to fight me the other day and his buddy said "you leave the nice lady alone"

Official ominous sign

the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive

One time I got chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes for dinner and the waitress muttered to herself "it's a free a country"

perennially annoyed that my major didnt require a meteorology course. like come on i wanna know lol

y'all really weren't kidding with "the biggest indicator of ralsei being transfem is how hard ppl are angrily trying to disprove it" oh my god the shit i've seen this past week 😭

utdr fans will convince themselves that actual straight-up woody from toy story is gonna have major significance to the plot and is connected to some demonic cat creature whose role/identity is still shrouded in mystery because of an unrelated shitpost toby posted to tumblr like a decade ago that was rediscovered and went viral around ch2, but if you so much as imply that ralsei wants to be a girl they'll act like you shot their dog

im starting to think a lot of ppl might not have realized that the whole mike thing is poking fun at them specifically

Reblog to save a duck

Quack quack

It’s getting to be that time of year where more people are going outside to parks and stuff so i thought it would a good idea to reblog this again

[Description: the video is captioned "Find the duck game", and we see several blindfolded women in hijabs groping around an enclosed ring while spectators look on, cheering and laughing . After a few seconds the camera pans so that you can see the duck, who is waddling around, casually yet resolutely resisting capture. Periodically the women collide with each other. They do not find the duck. End ID]

That duck is having the most fun of anyone present.
