Thinking about how we literally had a world where transit was getting better for everyone and then Henry Ford took it out behind the woodshed

I like girls and sometimes others, and I'm demisexual (we have to become friends before I'm interested in sex)

Posts autodelete after two weeks.
I have completed Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It didn't quite fully scratch the itch for another Outer Wilds-like but it came very close. Probably the best I've played in that general gameplay-space since finishing Outer Wilds.
I did have to look up a few puzzles that were utterly incomprehensible to me but I did solve most of it on my own. This is how most of these types of puzzle games go for me.
The PS2-era Resident Evil/Silent Hill influence is extremely blatant and excellent, vibes are quite spooky, but this really isn't a horror game, the puzzles are the focus. I think it's pretty clearly drawing from House of Leaves as well.
Fans of Outer Wilds should play Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
I don't even want to know what vibe-coded nonsense led to GitHub being so fucking slow to open files when you just click a link that it's actually faster to just open them in a new tab. How do you fuck up AJAX so badly that it's actually faster to reload your entire webapp than just load new data???
Despite everything going on with me I really feel like I've started to come back to life in recent weeks
My headcanon is that Gandalf's staff really is just a walking stick but he hardcore pretends it's a magic focus, up to and including pretending to trick a guard into letting him into Rohan with it, so that if an enemy ever does waste effort depriving him of it he can catch them unaware by being completely unaffected
I've spent the last two days looking into the Reticulum protocol and ecosystem and I'm extremely impressed. It's a mesh network transport layer designed to be functional with extremely low bitrate requirements (you could run the damn thing over CW), able to use any hardware layer imaginable from WiFi to LoRa to Bluetooth to packet radio to ethernet (even abstracting TCP away as an "interface"). Addresses are cryptographic identities rather than location-based, so you can be connected to any part of the network topology and it works exactly the same. Propagation nodes even implement store-and-forward so you could totally drop off the face of the earth, pop up again later on another continent, and get all your missed messages assuming there's a route.
It's a mesh network designed for maximum resilience. I feel my love of permacomputing reawakening...
Oh yeah I should link the damn thing ig https://reticulum.network/

The most glorious post I've ever seen from u/deleted
Possibly the best thing in the universe is when a scientist looks at the result of an experiment and says "huh...that can't possibly be right" but it's right
I think I dislike "unpalatably-strong dish balanced by a large amount of bland grain" as a culinary style, as is common in Chinese cuisine. They don't balance for me, I just taste bland grain (yum) and unpalatably strong dish (ew) side by side.
Or I'm bad at the cuisine and making it too strong. But I mostly followed the proportions for Chinese Cooking Demystified's recipe for ghost-fire green and found it waaaayyy too strongly herby.
Stephanie Sterling dropped another banger today
Corporate executives don't want you to criticize what they're doing by saying "it's wrong" because if you did, they know you'd be right.
honestly ik it's not for everyone but the fewer graphical applications I use the happier I am with my computering
except games ofc all hail video games
btw return the island Lana'i to its rightful inhabitants and Larry Ellison gets the guillotine
Every time I have to interact with Nix packaging or configuration in any detail beyond just using existing options, I wish I was back on Guix
The advantage to being on Nix is that doesn't happen all that often.
I think I would like to write an evolution simulator, kinda like the Bibites, but have a client-server architecture so you can leave a sim running on one device and then connect with a client to check in on the aquarium
YouTube: keeps recommending me a video titled "John Romero plays MyHouse.wad" with 1.3M views
Me: "am I supposed to know who that is?"
googles it
"Oh." clicks it immediately
Oh hey wallhaven.cc has banned AI art, cool
The demons are telling me to make a custom computing device from stock ICs and then write firmware for it that implements Reticulum over LoRa
for permacomputing reasons
Maybe for my first Real Haskell Project I'll write a simple CLI mail agent that's basically a glorified script to tie together notmuch, offlineimap, and msmtp.
Okay having built my toy program in Haskell I now need to build a not-a-toy program that's still pretty simple. Hmm.
artist: makes a kinetic sculpture that's also kinda mathematical
weirdo in the comments: "probable demonstration of the theory of everything"
So someone discovered that you can combine myhouse.wad with a mod that replaces your chainsaw with an extremely powerful riding lawnmower and now it's a speedrun category
