When I was a kid everyone told me I was lazy and that was bad. As an adult I understand that I am pretty fucking far from being lazy, Iāve just also always understood that 90% of strategy is deciding what not to do.
Unless you interpret ālazinessā as āwillingness to disobey orders,ā which many people do. If thatās the case then fuck yeah, Iām lazy as hell
Someone implemented a way to run #uxn in a minecraft cube, and they're running Felix's UF #Forth in it.

when climate activists block bridges or freeways we go to prison
when the roads are blocked by huge storms, that's not climate change induced by the capitalist ruling class and their continued use of fossil fuels...

i had forced myself to learn C, python and several other languages but none of them inspired me and sparked as much transformative joy as common lisp

botsin.space PSA
Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/
TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.
I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ā¤ļø thanks everyone
Is it just me, or are youtube comments really horrible, even when they are not outright bad?
Even when they're written in an attempt to be nice, they're incredibly uncomfortable to read? Cringy, I think the kids say.
It's not just because I'm old, is it?
like, eureka moments where you realise something?
the clarity you achieve is always bittersweet, but you know you are happier knowing than not knowing.
today is one of those days.

Gemini capsule is now live! You can access it by going to gemini://terathopius.com. I also installed a proxy so if you don't have a browser that supports the Gemini protocol, you can just go to https://terathopius.com and it should also work.
Setting up my federated fleamarket with flohmarkt
Yesterday, I set up an instance of flohmarkt on a Raspberry Pi, to experiment with a self-hosted, federated "fleamarket" system, for advertising some old tech stuff that really needs a new home.
It's alpha, and has a few rough edges, so perhaps my notes will help:

Thanks to everyone who helped test it!
if you agree with it you've surrendered your capacity for independent, rational thought
and all we have to do is repeat the mantra:
