Central Virginia hive mind, help needed: a former C'ville neighbor (trained as a public historian) is looking for an affordable apartment in #Harrisonburg or the nearby area where the landlords will allow 3 cats after a break-up. I can't take a kitty while Italy is getting over pancreatitis. Help!

😵 Too many fields, meow! lol Imo ipv6 is 4 b2b lol Machines talkiing to machines using dynmaic addressing. With people it is hard to remember, for sure lol

Ishtar - 🧜‍♀️😷☢️🏳️‍🌈 @ishtar.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Honestly, yes and no. I support the need. We definitely need more addresses. But on a personal and Petty level, I just don't appreciate the aesthetic like I do the old addresses. There's just something lovely about a.b.c.d/meow lol

Gotta love tcp streams lol I also like other protocol streams, though I tend to especially like TCP. Chatty little things lol Each field has its use. Flags, window, ttl, time code, etc 🥰 And you can tell so much about our Network just by looking at how the protocols play out

Ishtar - 🧜‍♀️😷☢️🏳️‍🌈 @ishtar.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
That might be for people like me. People sometimes say that things that relax them are their therapist, colloquially. I am very relaxed and sometimes even slightly elated reading TCP streams. I love watching the little protocols playing out. Maybe that's not uncommon?

They have all kinds of different shirts and things for it. I want a tank because it shows off my shoulder tats. Normally I cover the stuff up when I'm in the office, but all's fair in the server room lol (Wfh 99% of the time, though)

Ishtar - 🧜‍♀️😷☢️🏳️‍🌈 @ishtar.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
I think i will. I spend so much time these days looking at Network streams that I can pretty much tell you what's going on just by staring at them lol So yeah, probably a good choice lol

Should i get a Wireshark tank top? I use it for protocol analysis all the time, so it would be fun...

I find reading TCP streams to be rather relaxing for some reason. Each little packet has its exact fit in the communication, and every little bit has a meaning. 🥰Do you support congestion notification? Is this a Kerberos request? Shall I reset the connection?🥰 It makes me smile

Yeah I think it's interesting a lot of people don't realize that indigenous Americans were working with metal. I bump into too many people that don't realize that they were doing some pretty advanced stuff pre-contact

Oh yes, I happen to adore bronze. I have a beautiful bronze pendant that I wear made in the bronze Age fashion. I've worked with arsenical bronze before in preservation. Interesting stuff, but you got to be really careful

She tends to hire people, locals, to do her thing. There will be period accurate weapons, including some interesting stuff like arsenical bronze and such. I've put 5 years of study into getting the setting correct, including three college courses just to understand the cultures lol

There's a group of five hired assassins going after the princess. The use of variety of tactics but they're all former soldiers. So mostly bows and blades. Spears are most common, but not in town. The other assassin is hunting the bull leaper, and she is an ebla scribe originally from Canaan

Ok, headed downtown to work on my next action adventure romance novel. Set in 2360 BCE in early minoan crete, We encounter a sapphic romance between a local cretian woman and an Egyptian princess... But so many assassins object 🤣 And it has to be very archaeologically accurate, as usual lol

Before anyone asks, the bow is a low draw weight. It's only 30 lb. My regular boat is a 55, but you can't use that for LARP 💀 lol My regular bow with real arrows is much more accurate, faster, and better in form. That's where my proper archery comes out lol

Ishtar - 🧜‍♀️😷☢️🏳️‍🌈 @ishtar.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
Oh gosh yes. Larp is a lot of fun. Normally I'm wearing my dryad costume and deep and role play while doing this. I'll be sneaking to the woods shooting arrows at the enemy while my team fights them head-on. It's like playing D&D, but IRL lol

Ishtar - 🧜‍♀️😷☢️🏳️‍🌈 @ishtar.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
When the arrows are put out so that I can grab them by the nock, My rate of fire changes from 1/4s to 1/3s, which is actually a substantial increase in a melee situation. I need to figure out a way to speed this up. I'm already using speed nocks lol 👩+🏹 = #larp

Ishtar - 🧜‍♀️😷☢️🏳️‍🌈 @ishtar.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
It takes me about 4 seconds per shot firing my #Larp bow from my quiver. I can do about once per 2 seconds with real arrows, but these LARP arrows handle like a pig lol Also, I'm intuit shooting at about the normal range for melee engagements in LARP, not target practice lol

She seems a bit fair complexion for a North African hunter-gatherer. I mean, even British HGs of that time were significantly darker. I wonder if that is explained or just a screw up 🤔 Apparently they did have an archaeologist consultant 🤷‍♀️

I need to read this. I started like a couple years ago but then forgot because ADHD lol I believe it is an epipaleolithic woman. It's approximately 5000 BCE, at the transition to the Neolithic in what is now Southeastern Algeria. I'll need to use a translator to read it lol

Oh, probably not. It's been a long time. I went off and became an archaeologist, wrote some books, and more. I am glad you enjoyed my videos. There were almost none when I started, and I wanted to change that. Now YT is flooded with them lol 💜
