# 8 YEAR FEDIVERSARY

17 June 2017 - 7 April 2025

this place means so, so much. you saved my life. you gave me money i needed but didn't ask for. you appeared out of nowhere, lurking for years, pleading with me not to do it. you never betrayed me. you showed me actual kindness. you transformed my life. i am going to live because of you.

i am who i am today because of you. i love the fedi unconditionally. i will take all the good and all the bad.

thank you.

my fediversary is coming up.


Saturday, 17 June 2017 - Monday, 7 April 2025

Days: 2852 days

Years: 7 years, 9 months, 22 days.


gonna be 8 years continuously on the fedi in one way or another.

my story is kinda like floating shipwrecked for long stretches, and then swimming my way to safer waters further away from the centre.

i have self-hosted, or been close contacts with someone giving me refuge, ever since leaving @dirtycommo .

my greatest sadness i have lost so many people in the churning mix of the weird pattern of fedi instance instability.

my greatest joy is that i know those who have still survived actually can be trusted. and more. anyone who has sacrificed themselves for this place is now a mythical hacker hero.

final meme dump for today.

the pleroma installation disk meme.

meme dump #8

the untitled goose game goose in an anarchist-communist unity flag. ratchet buggy HTML myspace template is valid. the 9front dennis ritchie meme. my profile picture during the awkward dot company years.

meme dump #72

"economic violence is violence" two possums: "live fast, eat trash" misty holding a cross against a ghastly. misty is a liberal, the cross is labelled 'nothing', and the ghastly is fascism.

Thank you 9front for giving me an Itanium processor. It sped up my amd64 and arm64 processors

after looking at it again with fresh eyes, i still think i did a good job.

The Dialup Café's marchintosh globaltalk node says goodnight for another year! thank you to all of the goofballs that dumped calling cards in the shared folder.

i sadly was able contribute very little to the festivities this year due to a chain of random illnesses. next year i am very much looking forward to having a lot more fun!

and of course, the globaltalk kiki at https://globaltalk.network will remain up permanently for your contributions. the editing password is marchintosh2025, and welcomes your new pages and macintosh knowledge.

Okay, working day is over. Now I can do coding crimes by programming in BASIC. Plan for today: catch up with trigonometry and make a proper math library in Vintage BASIC.

time to recirculate this amazing performance by Chavis Mármol

i simply do not recognize this day of false jesters. you will receive no warning for my pranks. they shall not be confined to a mere day
