Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

Back when I worked as a sysadmin, I had to put in some scripts to log out idle ssh sessions on certain servers.

I decided to have a bit of fun with it, and oh boy were there ever a bunch of laughs and a few WTF when people unburied a forgotten terminal window.

@ZenHeathen I was about 5 at the time, and remember watching it at my grandparents on their fancy colour tv. (b&w at home on the other side of the farm)

I vibe-cooked a pizza from scratch tonight. No, wait. There's no artificial idiocy involved. I meant, I just have a rough recipe in my head and I winged it.

@ZenHeathen I just finished dealing with this bs. (Of course we did have bare ground for the past several weeks too, so I guess we were due.)

Second winter!

@ZenHeathen It's becoming difficult to tell general outages apart from my isp gateway becoming unreachable for a few minutes every so often. Websites should maybe move to the store-and-forward paradigm of email and activity-pub etc.

If you can still see the toast, you don't have enough peanut butter and jam on top.

The toast substrate needs to be no more than 25% of the mass of the final consumable.

I am in a pocket universe that very occasionally is able to get a packet out to another pocket on the far side of town across the river. They can usually get messages to me without much trouble due to their repeater's higher tx power.

So, I randomly start whispering strange nonsense into the aether and once in a blue moon those break containment, leading to the other mesh pocket sending confused replies back.

Eventually we'll have some repeaters in-between to fill in the gap and make bidirectional more reliable. For now, I amuse myself like this.

Have you ever had a nice hot bath while eating a big block of cheese?

No?

Me neither, but it's something I just pondered.

@GeePawHill Wait, I can do that? Totally had forgotten. :p I do full screen for photo stuff, to keep unwanted colors and brightness from messing up my perception.

Our nascent infrastructure is slowly building out in

We don't have reliable bidirectional comms between west side and south side as of yet, but we're getting there. One of the west side repeater owners has one on an omni and another on a directional beam of some kind and has pointed it at South and North at times with some success.

Bit by bit, it's getting there, maybe we'll have good connectivity before I lose interest and squirrel! back to other hobbies.
