hey is anyone up for me just queueing your album to play for an hour at 1400UTC Friday on anonradio.net?
** I stopped posting new stories to X/Twitter last autumn, but have kept my account, and the thousands of stories I have written since 2013 are still available.
That will soon end. In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to upload my archive to the Internet Archive, then delete all my stories from X/Twitter.
If you know someone who only follows me there, please help them follow me elsewhere.

Anyone working on e-paper projects and would like to try something new? I did an official 1.0 release of my bb_epaper library and would like to get some feedback. Why dump GxEPD or Adafruit? Because mine is much easier to use and supports more platforms with a single code base:

You can also bug me for tech support 😜
i swear, i've been here since 2017 and not once have i once seen a screenshot from a person they wanted to cancel and had it make sense to me
usually i say to myself--how does that screenshot post receipt prove anything??
just today i catch wind of mastodon people complaining about a new influx from twitter and i can't help but think--ah yes, the circle of life uwu
To answer the initial question: This is what makes us nerds happy (in case you didn't expect an answer like this). An interesting experiment for us, too.
What this means in the long run for Codeberg? We're finally - thanks to the expertise and help of some volunteers - ready to expand our hardware infrastructure, making Codeberg more resilient to certain kinds of issues and improving availability in the long run.

Summing up the situation on this #C128.
The necessary steps to get it running in a decent shape were:
- replaced the clock generator (8701)
- replaced a multiplexer ('LS257)
- replaced defective sockets for Char ROM, Vic, CIAs (plus some more, but those were probably not necessary)
- desoldered, disassembled, cleaned, reinstalled the power switch as the innards were heavily oxidized
- deoxidized the power plug, as it was causing a massive voltage drop
- replaced C20 variable capacitor
And, in the meantime, the PSU I was using decided to burn a resistor, because whoever serviced it in the past was a bit of an ass.

The best time capsule is old photos of your kid's room.
But, I'm also a big fan of old bookshelves.
Here's October, 2004.

If you enjoy my work, consider supporting it, thank you!

I made StumpWM work on Debian! All it took was:
- Installing package for StumpWM.
- Forcefully removing package for clx with dpkg.
- Building StumpWM from source w/ ql (surprisingly easy!)
- And replacing Debian-provided binary with the compilation result.
That was tough, but fun. And I like how anarchic Debian is, with any binary replaceable and patchable in place!
Huge thanks to @PuercoPop for the pointer on old clx version! Maybe I should contribute a newer one to Debian? 🤔

Hey hey! Another agrivoltaics study shows that crop yields from fields where plants share space with vertical photovoltaics are the same as, or perhaps a bit higher, than yields from similar fields but without the solar generating infrastructure. There's, like, a handful of these now, at least. This one's from Sweden.
Link to publicly available study is in the article.

i sort of feel like any intersection including cis men, can experience misogyny. The main variables are not what identities and groups you factually belong to; but whether the axis of proximity to womanhood is being used to oppress and bully you.
Which is what happens when a cis man fails to perform masculinity in exactly the acceptable way and gets called a “bitch” a “cock sucker”, a “pussy” or “emotional”.
it’s the very proximity to femininity that is the weapon being used, and I would call that misogyny no matter who it is being used on
