...and you're wasting even more of your life posting about your regrets at the Nazi bar. Still, they probably need to hear it most. Points for partial awakening. Hey, at least you made good money doing it, right?

"I wasted 8 years of my life in crypto"

"Over time however, I felt like I have lost my purpose in crypto. The initial siren songs of crypto’s transformative powers waned after working in the space full-time. I was disillusioned by my target customers and who I was really building for. I completely misunderstood what the actual users of crypto are v.s. just propaganda. Crypto purports that it helps decentralize the financial system, which I completely bought into, but in reality, it’s just a speculation and a gambling hyper-system that’s really just a mirror of what the economy is now."

"The reality hit me like a fucking truck. I am NOT building a new financial system. I built a casino. A casino that does not call itself a casino, but it is the biggest, online, multi-player 24/7 casino our generation has ever concocted. Some part of me wants me to feel proud that I contributed at least my 20s building this casino out. Another part of me literally feels like I wasted my entire 20s in this space. I wasted my life on this, but at least I made good money from it."

高市なんやけど、あの安倍晋三よりひどいのが出てきて、こんなひどい状況になるとは予想もしてなかった。甘かった、最悪には底がない。自民党って組織が腐っててクソやし災難やし、解党あるのみ🔥

中森明夫氏によって命名され(命名した媒体が『漫画ブリッコ』というロリコンまんが雑誌なのだが)、世間から軽蔑されながら生きた「おたく」がどんどんいなくなり「ジャパニメーションは日本が世界に誇る文化」などとおだてられて得意げになる「オタク」ばかりになった。
自分たちがどこから来たのかも知らない『萌え』のルーツすらも知らない(ササキバラゴウ氏によると、パソコン通信の「燃える」の誤変換から来たそうだ)。

そもそも、アニメが「サブカルチャー」だという事すら忘れてやいないか。

昔住んでた学生寮で別の日本人の女の子が「ホームレスが寮の中庭のゴミ捨て場を漁ってるのが不快だから鍵をかけたほうがいい」って職員に言ってて、職員の人といっしょに「誰が好き好んでゴミを漁ると思うの?なんでその人の事情を慮ってあげないの?」と話した。
実際、ホームレスの人は複数いたけど、学生がいるときは気遣って中庭から離れてるし、話しかけられたこともない。私には善良な、ただ困り事を抱えた人にしか見えなかったよ。

On another topic, I think I am moving to NixOS for everything…

After discovering nixos-anywhere and colmena, it seems like a much easier path than maintaining my own Debian based image, and applying ad-hoc conversation via ansible

I will still need ansible for Wireguard and k3s credentials, but that makes the whole infrastructure much more unified and deterministic

Soon, a flow of machines abstracted in a big cohesive lump, what a dream

The point of this post is to talk about key autonomy on Bluesky but I find it interesting for the poster's statistic on the number of people who are running their own PDSes: 997.

997 on the entire plc.directory network.

That's a large number by many standards, but not compared to Bluesky's userbase.

I do wonder about the methodology, and whether I would get excluded because my PDS technically has 3 users (me, and 2 test accounts belonging to me).

disease transmission, US-specific :boost_request:

Katelyn Jetelina reports that "influenza-like illnesses" (with symptoms of coughs, fevers, and sore throats) have reached seasonal epidemic levels in the US: "This is when I start masking in crowded indoor spaces like airports. Yes, well-fitted masks work. This is a physics question with a clear answer. And I’ll take all the protection I can get—I’d love to not miss upcoming school performances, work travel, and some fun family events."
(yourlocalepidemiologist.substa)

If you're not already masking in crowded indoor spaces, now is the time to get your N95/KN95s back out. You may be confident your immune system can handle whatever comes your way, but it's not fair to assume that is true of everyone you share space with.

I really, really,
REALLY
hate doorslams.

The way Bluesky taunts you to either comply or "well, just fuck off" here is a *link* to log out we won't even bother to make it a button.

It boils my blood.

(yeah don't try to contact me over there. Also haiii newcomers, brace for a new wave, Fedi)
