Hello. I will be sharing development of Applicant Hell, a game I am making to stay sane in the depths of unemployment.
I will never financially recover from my purchase of this small bottle of maple syrup, but I will not regret the pancakes.

It's important to build for a more desirable world, but you should know few hire for a freer world, even if it's the one most want.

ⓘ It's more fun to use ANSI escape codes directly when making TUIs. Break the ncurses and embrace incompatibility.

I have been busy fixing config files, and writing a small bluesky client, and figuring out financials, and job-hunting, and a million other things, but we'll see about returning to that videogame I'm making soon.

I wrote a bash script to download bluesky embeds from newsboat. I'm not terribly happy with it, but it helps fill the hole in my heart for a newsboat-like bluesky client.

Writing fail2ban regex is like cleaning house.
Vulnerability scanners looking for php files like so many gnats swarming for garbage that... isn't on my server.
Computer, ban them all.

I have no idea if this is a good idea or not, but it is interesting, so I'm giving it a soft launch. Please grasp my silly little art with your eyebulbs.

This one's still going, though.
In the spirit of Bluesky not transmitting my PNGs, you may instead email [email protected] to receive my drawing of Maxwell the cat.
Also my PNGs don't post here because of a Bluesky bug.

The process broke when someone got greedy and tried to open two streams of screaming at once, so experiment over for now.

Email is such a busted-up old protocol.
What do you mean encryption is tacked on and downgrade-able?
What do you mean Postfix sends the user's IP address by default?
What do you mean the old mbox format is All Your Mail Concatenated?
What do you mean there are like 3 DNS hacks to prevent spoofing?

I'm tempted to write a frontend to Stack Overflow that uses the data dump instead of the API, but this too is an unsound financial decision. And it's like 60 GB.

I think this is the first interesting result I have had trying to make music, but unfortunately:
- I am still not very good
- The style is not what I want
I might yet admit defeat and find some nice creative commons tracks.
