intro post, 2025

OK, stuff about me.

I did computers for a living, but only because I had do to something. They stink. Fuck computers.

So now I've somehow ended up doing (very) old computers and (brand) new electronics for a sidehustle, because it's at least something I am competent at. They still suck.

I like cooking and making good food and drink for family and friends. It hardly ever sucks.

I also like making music. My last album is a few years old by now. I will make another one soon, I hope. I think my music's pretty good. I like most non-vocal music, and some music that has vocals.

I used to read a lot, but for some reason I'm struggling to get back into the habit. A few authors I like, in no particular order: Iain (M.) Banks, Octavia Butler, Howard Tayler, Stanislaw Lem, Ursula K. Le Guin, James Joyce, N.K. Jemisin, Dante, Sappho, Pablo Neruda, Lev Vygotsky, Banana Yoshimoto.

I also used to do a lot of theatre - tech, music, and some direction. Nowadays I just go when I can afford it.

When my hands cooperate, I knit and do other detail-oriented crafts.

I don't like raccoons or opossums. I love cats. Dogs are all right too.

On here I adore - a group B-movie watch on Sunday evenings (9PM ET). Won't you join us?

This isn't an exhaustive list. :blobcat:

I saw the best capacitors of my generation destroyed by heat, dripping corrosive naked,
chewing through the verdant fiberglass at dawn looking for an angry trace,
angelheaded Rifas burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the sixty-cycle dynamo in the machinery of night,
who thinly and flimsily and epoxy-crazed and burnt sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of mesh-lined power supplies floating across the tops of high-current pass transistors contemplating 5V,
who bared their guts to Heaven under the influence and saw Mohammedan flames staggering through OVP illuminated,
who passed through inverters with radiant cool eyes hallucinating AI and edible rocks amongst the posters of Reddit...

Do you remember February and March 2020? I was walking around the neighborhood today at 5am just as I was five years ago. A feeling of impending dramatic mass-scale changes rising. This time it's a political, a self-inflicted pandemic but no less severe and profound in terms of mass-psychological shifts. What is the equivalent of masking up today? Maybe it's about turning away from macro politics and engaging in micro politics and mental health care with neighbors and friends, in solidarity?

Hey so uh several of my mutuals keep boosting shit that compares *fascists* to *me* as a way of insulting *the fascists*. And I don't wanna just break off a bunch of mutual connections with no warning, but I also don't have the energy to DM them all and it seems desperately posting and boosting about not using ableism against fascists is not enough. Does anyone have advice? I can't handle seeing everyone who usually has good takes now using me as the worst thing they can compare a fascist to

25/2/6 경제 이것저것 제가 날씨와 경제만큼이나 관심을 갖고 보는 부분이 교육입니다. 비단 제 반려가 사교육에 종사하고 있어서만이 아니라, 우리나라에서 - 특히 부동산 시장에서 - 학군, 즉 교육이 주는 힘이 매우 막강하고 그 요소를 배제하고는 해석을 할 수 없는 일도 많기 때문입니다. 그러다보니 이 뉴스는 꽤나 슬프게 다가왔습니다. 우익 개신교 계열의 대안학교에서 아이들에게 세뇌성 교육을 하고, 또 서부지법 폭동 사태에서처럼 거리로 내몰아 사실상 총받이 역할을 시켰다는 것 말입니다. 정상적인 어른이라면 해선 안될 일입니다.

Show GN: Yoyak: LLM 기반의 간단한 웹페이지 요약 CLI
------------------------------
반나절 정도 투자하여 LLM 기반의 간단한 웹페이지 요약 도구를 CLI 앱으로 만들어서 공개해 봅니다. 사용한 기술은 Deno, LangChain.js, cheer-reader (Readability.js의 대체품) 정도인 것 같네요.

설치하려면 Deno가 필요합니다:

```
deno install --global --allow-net --allow-env jsr:

I kept putting off finishing it because, you know, everything sucks, but I put together a mastodon archive viewer website/tool here:

mastodon-viewer.muffinlabs.com

It does the whole '100% local processing' thing, so you can specify your archive zipfile and everything is processed/stored locally. You can also use it to generate a website suitable for uploading somewhere and sharing your toots if you want.

My initial goal was to have this out in the world before botsin.space closed down, but again, the world/etc.

There's a few other tools out there that will do this for you, and a couple of them are definitely nicer looking, if not more functional than this one, but this might be the only mastodon archive viewer that does in-browser processing, offers an export, and also has the source code available -- at github.com/muffinista/mastodon

Time for an post! If you're a music fan on Mastodon (or elsewhere on the Fedi), please consider giving me a follow. I'm an independent musician who makes weird, psychedelic electronic music with influences from industrial, dub, Musique Concrete, IDM and dance music (esp. techno and house).

Once you realize how many evil people are operating solely on selfish instinct, and how many powerful organizations are a result of this, it explains so much, and you see it everywhere. From dictators and billionaires, to cults, to your worst family member and their "friends", they are the biggest thing holding humanity back from unimaginable progress. Possibly the only thing. Utopia is within reach, but they keep swatting our hands away. And we keep letting them. We HAVE to stop it.

Preparing to migrate off ProtonMail, since the CEO is clearly delusional, has a world view so divorced from ground truth that he might as well be delusional, is just another gaslighting fascist techbro, or some combination of the three. Whichever it is, I have lost all trust in Proton services. (The Swiss email and VPN provider, not to be confused with Steam's Windows compatibility thing.)

Evaluating Mailfence, Tuta, and Disroot. Please feel free to comment if you have used them, or if there is another provider you suggest. Yes, I can roll my own mail server. I was a mail admin long enough to know that I don't want to. Boosts welcome.

Dieses Mal ein Buch aus den 80er Jahren. Mit Andymon taucht die Ost-SciFi komplett in das Thema Terraforming und Langzeitweltraumreisen ab. Erfrischend anders als die bisherigen Agententhriller aus dem Kalten Krieg!

I AM FREEEE 🧙‍♂️
MUD WIZARD IS FREE !

After a maximum risk of 5 years' imprisonment for violence against a police officer, today the German state, represented by the public prosecutor, wanted to sentence me to 8 months' imprisonment. But the judge gave me a penalty of 140 days fines and legal costs of the trial. We still have no idea how much really it is right now. But we will know soon !

I'm very happy! I hope the prosecutor won't appeal,1 week of waiting and we'll know!

Tiny Privacy Tip About Faraday Bags 🚫📶

If you are about to trust a Faraday bag/pouch/box/sleeve to block a device's signals:

TEST. IT. FIRST!

Be especially skeptical about anything using zippers, too thin material, or with any kind of holes through the material. Good ones usually use folds, not zippers.

There is a lot of snake oil online for Faraday anything. Be skeptical.

TEST. IT. FIRST.
