To many liberals, the gravest crime committed is not the heinous acts their leaders or system undertake, but rather forcing them to be aware of those acts

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink

I have to admit, Im always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up,” the CIA agent says.

“Thank you,” the KGB says. “We do our best but truly, its nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them.

The CIA agent drops his drink in shock and disgust. Thank you friend, but you must be confused… Theres no propaganda in America.””

The first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that [she] is [doomed]. Unless [she] understands this, [she] does not grasp the essential meaning of [her] life.

the leftists are telling me 2+2=4. the right wingers are saying its 10. so as a reasonable centrist its clear to me that the real answer is 7

Unless your new years resolution is to fucking kill capitalism – before the death of 99& of this epoch’s biomass – by any means necessary, youre just rearranging deckchairs on a Titanic that already hit the iceberg.

i always thought that i needed geodns to make a multi-region setup work at all, but it turns out all we really need is one rfc https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8305 and its not even rare to see implemented on clients

No person is inherently evil by nature, and yet most white people still choose to uphold racist violence across the globe.

a new emmanation of my trusty old vim config, now available as a home-manager nix module. now i can track my dependencies with nix instead of using git subtree and it makes installing backend programs like language servers and such way easier. https://src.ix.cyb.red/pe-vim/

all of the software sucks, but i have a solution! we’ll write even more software! get more people involved, make it the Ideal Career, then we can write AL̵L̴ O̵F TH̨E ̧C̀ODE̷S. mountains of shitty garbage that kind-of does the thing. software will still suck, but T͜HE̕N oh then we can write compilers that let us run the old shitty code inside of our mountain of new shitty code. now all of the code is in a giant pile and we’re using it to control space ships that definitely never crash. the more code the better! we can represent NaN easily in undefined systems! developers aren’t particularly bright, so the language is simple and easy for them to understand. we know this, that’s why it was made this way. the͡ moun͢tain ͠m̵us͜t ͠nȩver̢ ̴wa̡ve̴r̵. the more code the better. so instead of writing the code manually we c̴ómpilę t͞or̸t̕u͜red so̷u͜ls ͏i͞n͞to͝ ͟nice ͢b̀l̷oxe̡ls ̸of͠ ̸t̶an̡g͜l̀ed ͞n̢eu͏ra̡l͠ ̕ne̢t͏w͟orkś.̸ w̨e d͠on’t́ know how i̵t ̷w͟ork̡s, ̴but ̷t̴he model̢ ̶is̛ 5̛0GiB ́s̶o ͟i͞t s͞e͘rve͟s ̴tḩe̛ purpośe.

but for real, i really want that sword and I’m perfectly content running my daily dev stuff using an rpi. i actually used to do client work on an old rpi laptop kit, i only stopped using that baby because the battery controller let the battery go flat.

i wish nixos had a more recent version of badwolf, maybe i’ll just package it myself

i’m overworked and undersexed

Liberals appropriate and include leftist language into their cultural hegemony therefore subsuming it into the empire- that is their job and function. They will always do this.

next up, decomissioning this nice ass laptop so i can sell it on ebay and buy a sword.

i dont have them handy, but the demographics of the fediverse dont lie.

its important to see clearly: the rejection of mastodon for bluesky is not a rejection of the desire to be free of our corporate overlords; its a rejection of white bros controlling digital spaces. sit with that

“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. And unselfishness is letting other people’s lives alone, not interfering with them.

Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as a delightful thing, accepts it, acquiesces in it, enjoys it.

It is not selfish to think for oneself. A man who does not think for himself does not think at all. It is grossly selfish to require of one’s neighbor that he should think in the same way, and hold the same opinions. Why should he? If he can think, he will probably think differently. If he cannot think, it is monstrous to require thought of any kind from him.

A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.”

–Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man & Prison Writings

for example, ejabberd, redka, and litefs. all using sqlite+litefs for their database needs allows agents to communicate over xmpp, matrix, mqtt, and sip. other applications can use sqlite for storage or speak the redis protocol to redka. ejabberd can also handle file uploads, static file publishing, identity, and various other web application services. when scaling, litefs integrates with consul to manage replication which grants the network access to service disco, encrypted mesh networking, and various other features that can be used to build secure service grids. ejabberd and redka can be scaled to multiple nodes that coordinate over the litefs replication protocol without any changes to the db storage config. other components can be configured to plug into this framework fairly easily as well. we keep the network config fairly simple by linking nodes together with yggdrasil to flatten the address space and then linking app nodes together using consul to provide secure routing for the local grid service. yggdrasil also offers utility for buliding federated networks in a similarly flat address space, for more secure communications i2p is also available in yggdrasil mode. minibase is wonderful, and we have not even started to talk about secure IoT.

i am working on very smol deployments, where a server may use two or so replicated sqlite databases instead of a db server like postgres to seamlessly move from single to multi-node arrangements as needed. there is a clear performance limit here, but the goal is not to serve a huge number of clients. just to do as much as possible with a small number of useful components that can be upgraded to handle up to medium size workloads, without difficult data conversions or migrations. scaling beyond that point should be done via federation.

overclocking more like overcocking amirite?

gracias a dios es atea <3

making my own browser framework that can use something like librewolf as a web renderer and other graphical components and runtimes for other protocols. though I think that means that i’ll be retiring tomo-el-fuego in favor of a different runtime architecture. there’s a lot that I like about inferno, but modernizing it enough to actually use anywhere is another story. I doubt this is the end of my infernal experiments, but I can only do so much at a time innit.

i’ve been a ham since i was a kid, but i haven’t been too active lately. i’ve seen some interesting signed packet radio schemes, but nothing I’ve taken a close look at. i’ve been doing a bunch of research into mesh networking protocols over the years and now that i’m approaching something worth writing i may have to get back into the hardware side of things

D+D -> H3, D+3HE -> D + 3 HE Æ p (14.7MeV) + 4 He (3.7MeV) + 18.4 MeV

i do kinda like htmx, but i might end up going my own way with my own similar library that matches better with my use patterns which are really not compatible with any extra scripting. so less flexible, but possible more powerful in the end.

if i had to make an app today, i would probably pick like phoenix, elm, and postgresql. i would want to use sqlite+litefs, but i need more experience with it.

@prologic@twtxt.net history is a broad subject! i think you could spend your whole life studying and discussing only the last 500 years. i’ve spent many nights sharing drinks and discussing the finer points of political history and theory with my uni buddies. i doubt that’ll ever get old ^^

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s still a generalization. which religion, which historical trends, which extremes, &c. otherwise you aren’t actually saying anything about religion, you’re expressing disapproval of extremes. which is valid, but doesn’t make for a substantial critique, if that makes sense.

same as you i assume. i like making my own stuff.

FoaF is just a way to crawl the network. I prefer this method because it frontloads the network traffic using a heuristic that covers most of the content i’m likely to be interested in anyway and allows for some level of discovery. Also graph traversal is fun.

@prologic@twtxt.net both religion and politics encompass an extremely wide spectrum of ideas and behavior. we need to be specific in making a critique, otherwise it doesn’t deepen our understanding of the world. though i agree that the status quo political and religious landscape is awful due to the historical context i’m talking about upthread.

i’m so glad i gave up christianity. i might be a little less glad when i get purged, but at least i won’t be doing the purging. jesus of nazareth has some chill teachings, but the whole thing is poisoned by the actual history of the religion. genocide, book burnings, and ethnic cleansing are not exactly noble teachings.

due to the gemini-centric nature of my setup, I don’t get webmentions. I just scrape the network and grep. maybe my aggregator will produce notifications at some point lol

@codebuzz@www.codebuzz.nl I have some shell scripts that handle some of the log formatting details, but I mostly write my mesages by hand. Lately I’ve been browsing twtxt.net since they aggregate most of the known network. I have a couple of demo aggregators sitting around, but I’m in the middle of some infra rebuilds so a lot of my services are offline rn. They’re both built on a simple social graph analysis that extracts urls for your direct follows the follows listed on each of those feeds (friend-of-a-friend replication). certain formatting operations are awkward with my setup, so I may write an app of some kind in the future. likely gemini-based, but I have a number of projects ahead of that one in the queue.

i’m kinda bummed that i haven’t had the time/energy to get further into my media infrastructure projects. a federated tiktok with good decentralized storage would be a force to be reckoned with. i don’t have to be first though. solving the fundamental problems of decentralized video streaming will make for a better experience anyway. i also have too many projects so i can’t get after myself for being a little behind the curve in several areas at once lol
