others call it nepotism and hubris

far worse ingredients. in 1985 it was actual meat, not mechanically separated pink foam. pepperige farms remembers what frankfurters were in the mid 80s. ate them boiled fairly regularly.

primitive minds project the image of gods onto everything that seems more powerful. it's a cargo cult, same as everything that fills the empty heads of the masses.

lightning nodes could be better called relays also, they also don't do anything except cache the state of a few channels, and relay payments around by altering that state using the HTLCs.

nostr nodes also cache data. internet relay chat also caches data. tor relays don't cache data, their name is accurate. nostr relays are not named accurately.

oh, like the one that wants to destroy the culture norm of a family and turn everyone into isolated pod people, high on drugs and rubbing each other frantically through the internet. no, no political agenda. a world domination agenda.

have you seen the movie THX1138?

there is penalties for drug evasion. i suppose in that movie at least they assign people to mandatory sex partners but that's probably too risky, gotta make the sense of isolation absolute.

25th of november? :S

or send a dm via nostr either way... lol

go to mleku.online and you'll be on my github profile, my simplex ID is there in the list on the left :D

i've just been introduced to systemd-nspawn, and for some reason the simple thing of being able to write a script that does things inside the nspawn rootfs, like, you know, automatic setup, a la Dockerfile - didn't seem to be a problem that anyone was bothering to publish much of a solution about.

based on this https://superuser.com/questions/1242978/start-systemd-nspawn-and-execute-commands-inside/1243010#1243010 - and btw i duly created an account and submitted edits to the leading answer that fix it up so it actually is correct for current versions of systemd-nspawn.

this is an example of a little piece of script that dives into a rootfs in a folder `mysql` in the current directory:

infuriatingly, some silly people don't see the sense in markdown, which doesn't change anything if you don't specifically use it, for non-marked-up text, isn't the default format for notes. but whatever. so that's why this is pig ugly, but you can c&p it for your own uses:

#!/usr/bin/bash

systemd-nspawn --pipe -q -D mysql /usr/bin/bash << EOF

apt update

apt -y full-upgrade

EOF

#devstr

using this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=emeraldwalk.RunOnSave and a little rsync command, i finally got it so i can mirror a repo i'm working on into a VM i'm testing in, seamlessly. the editor is set to auto-save when i switch context or after a timeout so i won't have to find myself hammering away at the same command expecting it to do something new that i added and it not being synced yet.

yeah, shit i have half a mind to write too... i have some paid work to focus on right now but if i don't find anything that would be super cool.

think like midnight commander style, like the old menu driven interfaces of BBSs where you just use arrow keys and enter/space and maybe tab to switch between a couple of panels, a commandline input and a little simple menu panel...

it's not really exactly something i'd normally consider doing but the supporting library backing it can be plugged into other things too like APIs and so forth, making multiple other types of interfaces possible, too few app devs build with this mindset... i tried to do it with signr, and for the most part the implementation is isolated from the interface.

surely someone has done a REPL style shell with a built in pager, at minimum!

nothing so far. i might have to dig at github see if there is anything interactive and with paging built in, even a command shell.

i might look at that... no way to get it and fuck amazon anyway, but the title gives away a lot.

i had already started to notice this as my situation turned to a state that is extremely tense about a month ago when i abruptly discovered that things i had assumed were coming weren't, and after trotting a full 30km round trip thinking i was about to become a homeless beggar again, and realising i had some options, and things weren't really that bad, i started to just act more mindfully, trying my best to aim towards something productive instead of letting myself get swept away by conditioned anxiety.

i probably need to make some kind of mnemonic and reinforce it pimsleur style, with slowly decreasing frequency until it becomes automatic.

thanks <3

i discovered a flaw in my character today.

i project myself into the targets of other people's frustrations, even when i know that the source of the tension has nothing to do with me, and then get this anxiety about being turned into the target of the frustration.

i have a vivid memory of getting this really bad, accentuated by the weed a truck driver gave me, years ago when i was hitch-hiking to cairns. he just liked to bitch and moan loudly, and i was baked out of my tree on the most insane north quensland skunk i've ever smoked, and had to get out. but i could have drawn a mental line between me and him about this and taken the full ride as far as he was going.

sure, the weed didn't help but this conditioned fear, imprinted on me by hundreds of incidents of being treated this way by other people, starting with my father, who trained my sister to do it also, and others, this pattern of behaviour now is oppressing me intensely as i live across the road from a primary school and the sound of squealing girls, in particular, brings me flashbacks of my sister calling the attention of my father to get her way or otherwise punish me.

i also am programmed to give consolations to people when they are feeling off even though i have important things i need to be doing, or have really good reasons why i should not be using my energy this way.

again, similar cause behind it, having been small and oppressed by an emotionally immature/psychotic person, and reinforced later by other similar people who saw my trigger playing out and used it to get their hit at my expense.

it's the wrong reason to give something to anyone. i need to focus on doing what i need to do right now because it's a matter of survival, and the cost of the gifting of such consolations without a heart felt wish is going to be higher in mind and body than i should be allowing.

learning to be your own parent is a hard thing, but continuing to let people affect you as though it was the times when you were weak and uninformed and innocent after realising it is just straight up self torture.

wired is cancer, you know.

you know that it turns out that many dinosaurs actually had feathers...

eggs, brat, eggs.

i think this is for silkworms?

who wants fucking benefits anyway. oof. get a gig, it's not that hard. free stuff means slavery ffs.

also, if you were looking for a reason to gtfo of the big cities in brazil, here you are. who wants to be stuck getting shedded on by all these idiot sheep who have no fucking spine.

it was very popular in the early days of boingboing and ru serious and all those hipster cyber dweebs who are now cybercommunists.

all i can say is, i hope all users of this shit get cancer of the genitals and suffer greatly, before then getting burned in hell.
