yeah, and on the other hand, i find it _much_ harder to write code in loosely typed languages...i have to keep more things in my head at once

yeah they're rlly cool :) very honest and introspective mental health content which has definitely helped me. also the stars they draw on their face are pretty and awesome 💫

rocky think harness stupid rocky prefer to move freely

I'm okay with being stripped of nondeterminism

I wonder if ethernet over power adapters would work on British trains

it makes me sad that genAI coding has caused division in OSS communities...I wish I knew the answer to it. one side seems impractical in the long term, and the other financially supports the continuous moral crimes of corporations.

all technology invented after the toaster was a colossal mistake

once again i find myself thinking about npins

my parents have decided that i'm part of a queer cult and i guess i'm okay with that

the possibility of nix for windows lives rent free in my head

that is so so cool !

running list of things that have been impacted by my nixconfig being broken:

1. my friend group's minecraft server
2. my flatmate's bedroom lights
3. watching doctor who on the flat television

there's something so funny to me (if slightly tragic) about my flatmate asking me to fix my nix config so that the flat lights work in her bedroom 😭

i've now swapped to use lix on all my systems

i should expect this, allowing for the possibility that the other person will think (e.g. background thread) on the points made in conversation afterwards, and maybe change their mind later - maybe attributing this to the conversation, or maybe not

and i should expect the same of myself

i think i need to change my strategy in conversations where i disagree with the other person

it seems exceptionally rare that any one conversation, even with civility and mutual respect, will change someone's mind then and there...

i'm so bad at this social media thing

meow

i also have another problem which is that i host minecraft servers for friends that are declarative microvms in my nixos hosts, so when i rebuild the host (for an unrelated change) it often brings down the server

i probably need to split up my config so certain stuff is imperatively managed

just thinking about this because my self-hosted shit is always breaking lol

another thing i need is homelab automated testing, like a healthcheck, so i know whether updating the VM configuration broke my immich server etc

at the moment, i eventually find out about it weeks later

thinking about whether it's possible to do an A/B partition of my homelab servers

it wouldn't be a strict partition, but rather i'd host some critical infra (password manager, git server) on both of them

maybe it could update DNS records so the "live" site is always the active A-B server

the vegan tuna being so expensive is a global conspiracy to try to bait me into returning to capitalism and iM NOT FALLING FOR IT

this is honestly just a nix shill account

interested in this.

it made a mess but was yummy

i made popcorn with popcorn machine

rebranded to my goat ramona flowers

i ate the entire jar of olives one sitting (again)

unsure if i'd still be doing all this if olives didn't exist
