One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

ViP is up and running. Basically ten minutes work to set up basic failover with three piholes instances. Have not gotten grades yet so next is load balancing, and if still in suspense, we are going to spin-ups of new instances from the templates I made while testing failover.

I should sleep soon

Note: part of the reason I am starting my load-distribution journey is my pihole went down and--in case you didn't know this, a pihole crash that you don't notice early enough can end with network-wide dnshell and all your computers stubbornly refusing to update even after a forced reboot.

Honestly, the single best decision I ever made with my servers is turning them both into hypervisors with Proxmox. Being able to test out programs in a container and destroy without drama and purging packages three times is such a relief.

Also, this: community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/sc...

alea iacta est.

Now I wait for my final grades, because that's not stressful at all.

Note: Programming Languages is the first programming class I've taken where I wasn't either discourage or outright penalized for playing with the code and adding things once I'd met all requirements for the assignment.

This still annoys me. Yes, professors can be arbitrary, but I'd accept that..

Finals Week: I have...
1.) turned in a video code review of my program for assignment 11. Unfortunately, it wasn't until after I turned it in that I found out most people's was under twenty minutes. Well. Okay.
2.) resubmitted assignment 11 with corrections to get my goddamn A.

continuing....

The part that really keeps me up at night. The professor that is doing this to me? He teaches Machine Language I next semester. On campus. Once a week from 6:00-9:30 at night.

On campus. I DO NOT DO ON CAMPUS.

When I found out he was teaching it? I registered for it.
Yeah.

Continuing: I have yet to build the equation that will generate satan's fractal leaf.

Here is a close up of beelzeleaf:

To continue: generating a 2d fractal image based on satan's plant (maybe filaree?): I literally can't figure out if this is a super complex assignment or actually simple and I'm overthinking it. Is this like, make an equation to generate a leaf, then fractal it?
Here is my inspiro!leaf to help

This week's assignment: a unique 2d fractal based on the picture you each were randomly assigned and in your program, use the new Racket language feature you each have been randomly assigned.

There is a three page Word doc in addition to the 19 page powerpoint. I think he hates us?

My Prog Lang professor is the funniest, nicest, smartest guy I've ever had the pleasure of learning from. He compensates by grading our assigments like they're going to be responsible for saving dying children or stopping the Apocalypse. Nothing is safe.

I appreciate it, I really do. Later.

I forgive Racket: I had a blast finally understanding how to tail-recursion and doing it to everything.

I hate Racket because now I want to tail recursion everything and it's a lot of extra work.
October 14, 2025 at 10:37 PM
If Racket gets any more counterintuitive, it's going to circle around to intuitive, right?

Currently, I"m trying to figure out the rest of the equation to predict how many passes it takes to completely sort a list using only elbow grease, tail-recursion, threeSort function, and hope
October 14, 2025 at 4:21 AM
Between the sheer weirdness of racket and my Professor's supervillian-level assignments in it (he cackles, people), I do not know if I will survive this.

We are currently assigned to create a sort program for lists in racket, but cannot use any existing sort or filter functions, set!, or mean.

So BNF/EBNF is some sort of what, punishment for liking to code? This is hell. HELL. (Also, this refers to the class Programming Languages, not fandom)

My infatuation with Racket is really being tested by anonymous functions aka lambda. I am just not seeing the point, especially when it takes more lines of code to use an anonymous function than just defining the goddamn thing.

Also, it's making my code look ridiculous.
September 11, 2025 at 1:03 AM
So I think I'm falling in love with Racket.

It is so fucking weird and really desperately needs someone to document it better (or like, at all, would examples kill them?) but here we are. I'm doing homework two assignments ahead because it's fun for me to feel like I'm coding with dream-logic.
September 10, 2025 at 11:22 PM
TIL: creating an agnostic singleboard computer rack server that can take any* sbc is so much more ridiculously hard than I assumed, and I assumed it would be super ridiculous. Unless you want a Pi 5 Only or a Pi 4B/3 Only or a Pi 5 and 4B; then you're good to go.

I love Pi's but THEY ARE NOT ALONE
September 10, 2025 at 12:41 PM
I am having some complicated feelings about Racket. Like, I may love it BUT WHY ARE THERE NO VARIABLES? NO DEFINE AND LET DO NOT COUNT.

And. It. Is. So. Linear. It's like a Mom who won't let you multitask.

FUCK MY LIFE LAMBDA IS BACK

There's something about it, though.

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com In case you're curious, we're going to be studying Racket, among others. Why is this significant? 1.4 of the Racket Guide: A Note to Readers With Lisp/Schema Experience.

I know this is your fault, but I don't know how yet. Twenty-five years is a long game, but this is you.
