31a's network is becoming progressively more cursed

connecting to matrix from iOS now involves 3 hops back and forth between the same 2 machines, of which one is through yggdrasil

PSA: always take more backups than necessary

the disk appears to have died several hours after being used as the single point of failure

it seems that at the very least data loss has been avoided. it is now time to check whether it will it boot first-try

31a has realised that it can play nethack on the archiso while waiting for long disk operations

I think about this one a lot.

apparently it dropped its _atproto TXT record by accident

it is about to reinstall its primary system with a different FS (as long as the backup ever finishes). hopefully nothing explodes.

it's again the time of year when every prior day having slight net energy consumption finally causes it to hit zero

time to get rid of the semi-cursed setup of its site's www. being on a web host while the root domain is on a real VPS

even worse is something which leaves an open challenge or injects project ideas

( assuming matrix actually behaves correctly, it is still possible to redirect this to a nonexistent domain with an SRV record )

more generally, one should never host multiple services on the same domain.
this is exactly what the SRV record was created for

this one does not need a cloud server, but this has good pricing, so if this is mis-usable to run some low-load junk, it might move said junk here

please use or self-host any other git service. the fragmentation that creates has downsides, but it is not controlled by an AI engineering team

"why are all trans girls subs haha it's for [bullshit reason] amirite" no you asshole it's because every fucking newly out trans girl ever is a deeply repressed person who's 99% unrealised as a being and yearning for ego death, and sexual submission feels accessible to them

the intent to kill X11 is strong enough to seem malicious. this is enough reason for 31a05b to switch from Wayland to X

sorry for adding to the list of mostly useless political posts on this platform, but this thought has appeared too often to not react to it.

it has received yet another complaint about the "chaotic state of the U.S".

it hopes that most of the ones using the word "chaos" are not truly attributing this chain of events to randomness and are not denying that they are observing a coup (also applies to "idiocy")
