i really miss the time when political figures didn't have social media accounts

in today's edition of "the great unsolved problems of our universe" it is not possible to (conveniently) make a docker container restart itself after crashing, without also making it self-destruct on machine reboot

oh my FUCKING god death to docker compose

my docker compose project has FOUR (4) separate containers (which is batshit insane enough, but i digress) required to make my discord music bot run

for the bot itself to work, which is its own container, 2 of the 3 other containers must report healthy

i also added a `restart: unless-stopped` policy to these containers so they would boot back up as soon as they crash

this ignores the health checks, but it's fine because the containers will practically never all restart at once

can u guess what happens on machine reboot? :3

instead of them being started up normally, they are... all restarted at once!

this of course ignores all health checks, and the bot starts up in a permanently broken state unless restarted

because it's too fucking stupid to, oh i don't know, mayyyybe consider retrying the connection to the other containers after its startup ???

industry fucking standard software btw

if this didn't give me canceraids nothing will >w<

recently saw a notification on steam regarding multiple unread DMs naturally, since these DMs were probably 14+ days old, steam deleted the messages ⚠️ please DM me only on discord (i accept all friend requests :3) or bsky/twitter as a last resort if you don't want to use it ⚠️

revisited tf2 again after 2 weeks, this time with ALL maps selected and no ping limit while it was enjoyable (mostly just cuz i miss playing the game) the matchmaking issues were still there (albeit less apparent) and i can't see myself playing the game like this in the long run

yesterday's post of mine got me thinkin the hardest part about reverse-engineering isn't: - finding the right tools and learning how to use them - understanding how memory/the CPU works - writing and/or debugging in assembly the hardest part is... reading other people's code :3

in all my 14 years of programming i don't think i've ever written or come across a parser that isn't completely utterly deranged :3 spent half my day writing 154 lines of code (i didn't trust slopgpt) and half of them are comments cuz said code is completely unreadable otherwise

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

i revisited tf2 a couple days ago, matchmaking is still busted 30 minutes of waiting for like 3 matches, one of which was across the ocean (got desperate and disabled ping limits) unless you only play the top 20 most popular maps in the tf2, good luck ever finding a match :3

just had to force myself into waking up because i got stuck in the cycle of: - falling asleep within 3 seconds - getting the same stupid dream - waking up and repeating everything about 5-10 more times within 5 minutes the human mind has to be studied, this is fucking insane :3

i'm not even kidding in the slightest when i say that "larp" has officially become Significantly Worse than "67" i didn't think it was humanely possible for something to be even worse than "67", yet here we are :3

played tf2 for the first time in 2 months, it was okay ig wasn't expecting a tf2 update this early (but ofc it drops hours before i'm off to vacation lol) the existing matchmaking issues are not only still there, but they're affecting the new maps too, which is concerning :(

i hate how i tend to overexplain things a lot to the point where the other person thinks that i consider them stupid when in reality i'm the one that is stupid and usually way too slow to understand things so i dumb them down for myself because it helps me explain them better

i'm beginning to show symptoms of withdrawal.. as much as i would've loved to reach 100 headshot kills on pyro, it's way out of reach in this lifetime (i only have 62) i recently got into axtinguishing though, it was quite fun and i would've loved to up my strange axe's numbers

not me making a reminder at 1:44am yesterday (for 4:44am when i woke up for work) captioned "orbs" with literally no further context whatsoever :3 it's been nearly 24 hours and i still have no idea what this could possibly mean lol

during the bot crisis, i wrote a negative review for TF2. not like it matters much, but i wanted my voice to be heard and now, since the game is far more unplayable than it ever was, it's time for me to write another review again valve: fix your servers, or kiII them altogether

i've made additional improvements to the bus passenger ai in omsi 2 now, instead of a completely random choice of seat/"stand" (or being locked to sitting only in the previous bulbtoys version), passengers' willingness to sit depends on several dynamic factors, such as...

i failed the second wordle in a row lmao

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

ever since wordle came out 5 years ago, i'd ragequit after only a handful of rounds every single year i have decided that i'm going to try and play through every single wordle in 2026 today, i'm pleased to announce that i've peaked at 63 correctly guessed wordles in a row :3

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

introducing a new WIP bulbtoys feature for omsi 2: "passengers prefer sitting" :3 it's currently locked to a 100% chance, but i have plans to make it customizable and/or dynamic this is the first of many improvements i have planned for the game's (passenger and vehicle) ai

i think it's cool how, when you use the control point table in the new remastered poker night, it gets "captured" by whoever the chip lead is: 1. nobody/contested 2. max 3. tycho 4. the player (heavy/strong bad show the RED team logo/strong badia flag respectively)

i'm 2 weeks late, but it's finally here presenting: Three Years of BulbToys this took much, MUCH longer to cook than what i was expecting... nearly 100 hours of work spanning 3 whole weeks, but i'm also very happy with how it turned out :3 🧵 1/2

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

hopped on tf2 for the first time in 3 weeks the other day and i can safely say that i had one of the most unplayable experiences to date, strongly rivaling the era of the bot crisis Every Single Match was either DOA, a spawncamping steamroll (giving and receiving end), or both

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

good morning, and happy 3-year anniversary to my biggest project ever !! i was cooking something special up for the occasion and, despite working on it for 60+ hours the past week (alongside working a job and chores), it will unfortunately have to be delayed for a couple of days

the human body is truly fascinating and needs to be studied for the past month i wasn't able to sleep for longer than 2 hours at a time, no exceptions i accounted for this when i went to bed at 10pm last night, so i can wake up super early ...11 hours of uninterrupted sleep :3

apparently they removed the dim color mode from the desktop twitter website because they "don't have the capacity to support 3 colors" what a sick joke lights out is so disgusting, i'm surprised it was the more popular "dark mode" oh well, makes me want to use twitter less, a good thing really :3

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

it's interesting how, for most people, their ideal vision of randomness is less random than true randomness i wonder if that's cuz of our pattern-seeking brains, even though there are no patterns in true randomness by design/"definition" :3

brokenphilip @brokenphilip.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

yeah i'm going through another "Disappearance Episode" but it's for a good reason, trust me!! i'm locked-in on what is my biggest and most ambitious programming project to date :3 i even bought a laptop for the first time in my life just so i could work on it every chance i get
