Finished prototyping the wprintidle project, codeberg.org/andyscott/wprinti

I will be mostly unavailable this afternoon, but I'm dropping a link for any praise, criticism, shouting, ranting, and so on

I also haven't updated the readme yet, to be honest I'll be surprised if it's very useful, but `meson setup build` then `ninja -C build` to compile

MPL2 or GPL2/3?

If I were to give a hint, it's that the code is unlikely to be linked in any way. Maybe it's a question of taste more than anything.

In any case, further context may be provided upon me making my own decisions ;)

I hadn't expected to get anything out of it at all in less than a day, we're still supposed to be one stage prior to "and find out"

Pretty sure I'm mucking up seats, just not sure where

This seems like a "give it a couple days and it'll randomly come to me in the shower" type situation

Even if I understood social protocols I'm not sure they'd even apply to that hellscape anyway.

I've been running for a while, and I feel like I need to give another try.

The thing that's really holding me back is the AUR. I realize void has xbps-src, so it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Setting dracut to build a UKI with custom boot keys will be new too. Plus I want to see if I can hack it to init with s6 instead of runit 😈

In any case, if anyone has gone from Arch or Artix to Void, tips are certainly welcome.

They were the 1st of only 3 things in life that could reliably provide both joy and relief from stress

# 3 was booze which I also gave up, but the things I would do with 3 fingers of scotch and a RPG right now 🤤

Some pretty big setbacks on my projects this week, and it also turns out I won't be applying for graduate programs (political situation, I think that says enough)

I should be back at it next week though, and being back in my element will hopefully mean a better mood

It comes and goes of course, I wouldn't trust it ;)

uspol


Uncomfortable conversation with my family re: why I won't be attending the family reunion

I said I don't associate with National Socialists

They thought I was joking, and I informed them that I am deadly serious with language that I won't repeat here

These past two years have been the unhappiest of my life, and I honestly have no idea what I'd do if I had to be around people whose sole agenda is to cause more pointless misery

So that's it, maybe I'm done with them for good

This image of Aaron Swartz was circulating on social media again recently. Most of what my partner knew was through my own rantings, which can be hard to follow.

Her work has been experimenting with LLMs too, so she gave it to Claude and asked what word should be used to describe his fate, perhaps expecting it to defend itself.

The cynic in me wants to say this is merely defense/diversion we didn't expect. Ultimately I don't know. I weirdly get more characters in alt text, so here you go.

Talked to a guy from school the other day. He finally started a new job. Very exciting.

He offered to review my resume, which was very thoughtful too.

"Why do you have bash on here?"

I've been using Linux for 2 decades, I know the system in and out.

"OK cool, but there's no way you remember assembly"

I don't need to remember, I use Thumb-2 with Cortex CPUs.

"OK but what's this golang thing?"

I can do that too.

"Bro, how are you, like, not CEO or something?"

You tell me Mr. 6 Figures 😂
