Very excited to be migrating away from Hetzner and towards @OpenBSDAms@bsd.cafe :) Same price but better operating system :>

I read the ring (exactly as I read AI) as being manipulative. It's addictive and makes false promises that are harder to resist the more you use it. They're _very_ good at convincing you that they serve you, when in reality they very much do not.

I literally was _just_ trying to get something to work using python, and the examples the library gave don't work XD hilarious. ( I kinda feel this way about shell scripts too, Makefiles & shell-heavy C builds very often are a complete pain in the ass to get working. Nowhere close to as bad as […]

There's a part of me lately that doesn't want to publish my software at all. I want people to use it, but not like this

gf was messing with newton fractals so i wanted to make some too :) the yellow and black pattern is because the pixels are colored based on angles, where 0 and 6.283 should be the same color, but I was lazy and just used the default colormap which does not know that.

I'm still at a slight impasse though, just because my browser needs forms and forms need some shell things (the rest of the browser does too, I just was more able to hard-code them to circumvent relying on the shell) herumph. I will continue to rotate

im gonna give up on shell things for now. But I learned much about what shells do exactly and why what's important or not. It's really fascinating the role that the shell takes, as a sort of half interpreted language, half user interface. I think I don't like the shell mostly just because it […]

My shell crashed after I used it for about an hour straight! I know where its memory leaks are, of course, but it's just kinda neat to see something like that actually happen in real instead of just thinking about it in theoretical :) oh yea and also today I got subshells and ~ substitution […]

Worked lots on my very tiny shell today! I'm up to implementing subshells and tilde substitution, and then I'll do redirection and a bunch of interface niceties and it'll pretty much be done i think :)

Also the way that None of the shell features (such as variable/homedir substitution, shell-syntax-parsing, etc) are accessible as separate from the compiled shell program (which they Are Necessarily Implemented By!!) bothers me kind of a lot. As far as I know, there's no nice library packaging […]

I think I don't like the shell, in its typical implementation.... It's a user interface, but it also tries to be a programming language, and it kind of sucks a lot at the latter thing I think I may make & dogfood my own shell abt this

TIL that a phone number dialed with commas will delay 2 seconds at each comma. So to call an extension, you simply call AAA-AAAA,,,BBBB (where As are the base phone number and Bs are the extension)
