kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 24/07/2026we'll see how it goes! gonna try for RGB eyes and a boopable snoot (and given the connector you can tell I'm making it a hexpansion) 020
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 24/07/2026(the results are obviously nowhere near usable as-is, the file I have has 484 objects and would give a real kicad user an aneurysm, needs a lot of cleaning up, and then figuring out electronics) (but... damn does it look pretty) 020
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 24/07/2026so there's programs that can take raster art and vectorise it and there's programs that can take vector art and transform it into kicad pcb files and it turns out you can just bodge those together into one cursed pipeline and feed it some of your sona art and no-one tries to stop you? 3191
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 20/07/2026(..though I kinda wish the stage D FoH position had been a bit closer to the stage, it was far enough back that the highs were pretty muted, was running forward and back a bit to hear what it sounded like where people were) 020
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 20/07/2026this emf was my first time soundteching a band! (not on my own, supervised by @keytarrex.bsky.social as the lead eng). it's *so frickin much fun* to hear issues and then fix them and hear the fix and know you've fixed it for everyone 291
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/07/2026my flatmate is doing workplace training. the answers are leaked in whether the `::active` css pseudo-class of each answer's button is red or green beautiful 👌 no notes 050
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 16/07/2026my dishwasher has wifi I have never set it up and I never will it can sit there and yearn. some devices deserve to want things they cannot have 050
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 14/07/2026invariant: any larger-than-minimal group of furries will contain every possible type of nerd the group chat for that mario kart room party three years ago that's somehow still active? it contains at least one train nerd, at least one electronics nerd, a linux nerd, a scifi nerd, ... 130
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 13/07/2026just use the energy to heat the hot sink directly. but that's wrong! doing the former thing is absurdly more efficient, you can move a good multiple of the energy that you expend. I know that it works and I know how it works, it just feels so weird 240
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 13/07/2026I find heat pumps deeply unintuitive "you can use energy to transfer heat against a temperature gradient, from a cold sink to a hot sink" intuitively feels to me like it should be pointless. sure, you can do that, but surely you can only move as much energy as you've expended, so you may as well 150
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 12/07/2026if you end up doing most of the things you seriously consider doing, you should probably widen the set of things that you seriously consider 020
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 11/07/2026furries being cringe is a feature, not a bug. it means our spaces are aversive to the sort of people who prioritise being high social status, which means they (to some extent) self-select out of that space, which is a super useful filter.meaningness.comGeeks, MOPs, and sociopaths in subculture evolution | MeaningnessHow muggles and sociopaths invade and undermine creative subcultures; and how to stop them. 040
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 10/07/2026fascinating to watch the rathaus group chat oscillate between nerdy and horny. nested negative feedback loops, any imbalance eventually countered, shm on all timescales 060
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 09/07/2026LFM and RFM, despite the names, are not actually furmeet stereoisomers 040
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 09/07/2026it's nice that the emf furry high commission has so much space to ourselves this year. no other villages within like a 30m radius of us 030
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 08/07/2026hiding inside most games is a good strip version of that game, but figuring out the right way to do it can be tricky (in particular to get an appropriate pace of clothing loss that matches the mood of the room) 150
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 06/07/2026con demand: (predictable exponential growth of consistent 20% growth every year for several years) cons every year: "were caught off-guard by the unprecedently high number of registrations!" 040
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 05/07/2026some friends & I once attempted to make a good game out of monopoly, adding freedom of contract and other tweaks on playtesting, it went 3 hours before we unanimously agreed to stop and never play it again but making the ruleset was fun, and at the end of the day isn't that what really matters 030
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 05/07/2026mildly amused when orgs hide economic transactions behind thin veneers "we will never sell tickets, tickets are free until they run out! oh btw if you donate to our patreon you have access to a separate allocation of tickets in case that affects your decision in any way 😇' 030
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 05/07/2026proud of the divestity of my friendship group (they're all very good at taking their clothes off) 180
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 07/06/2026looks like it's that time again. that's right, time for another rathaus furry boardgame afternoon! this time featuring a brand new copy of a crunchy economy game called Container 080
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 01/05/2026the best-laid schemes of mice and men go oft awry. that's why you should make your schemes with rats instead of mice 170
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 28/04/2026the purpose of a shirt saying 'the purpose of a system is what it does' is what it does (garners an unnecessarily meta comment on bluesky) 020
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 21/04/2026ok, after switching database providers twice (neon -> fly.io managed postgres -> RDS), plus switching and half-rewriting postgres client libs, I think I have finally fixed the db connection issues bunnypaws.kadei.net was having (particularly after a fly.io firecracker resume). phewfly.ioBuild fast.

kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 25/03/2026if you know you're getting the placebo tickets then the trial wasn't properly blinded smh 100
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 08/03/2026only noticed because i opened htop for another reason and noticed postgresql was pinning a core to 100% probably not gonna use that one 010
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 08/03/2026was playing around with postgres yesterday experimenting with different strategies for stats queries for bunnypaws. just noticed that one of the queries, having timed out at the psql, had continued running on the server side. for the last 24 hours. 110
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026anyway that's why my log files are full of `DEBG fallback: received update type=command "citrussy"` 240
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026so it turns out all slash commands in a group are sent to all bots in that group. which is surprising because you register the bot as being able to handle specific commands. but that's apparently purely for the autocomplete ui and doesn't act as a filter? seems kinda jank 150
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026you can! not with the telegram bot (would be hard to correlate them with individual stickers with a chat flow), but if you log in to the site with your telegram you can add more tags to individual stickers there 010
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026whoever submitted TatsusBoldPack to the bot has just found the bug that the automod breaks with webm stickers. sorry about that, will fix later 120
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026nb: the email addresses mentioned in the help page don't work yet, for new just send any feedback on telegram pls 210
kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 17/02/2026so the new project i picked up a few months ago is ready to show! it's a v2 rewrite of @nican.net's bunnypa.ws database of telegram stickers with a bunch of new features, and the beta is up on bunnypaws.kadei.net . send me feedback or add stickers by messaging them to t.me/bunnypaws_v2... !t.mebunnypawsYou can contact @bunnypaws_v2_bot right away. 2147

kadei 🐀 @kadei.net · 25/12/2025had two levoit LV-PUR131 air purifiers, both broke after 3yrs, dead electrolytic capacitors. got hold of new caps, tried replacing them and bugger me they go out of their way to make it hard. glued-in power cables, blobs of glue on the circuit board, one triangular screwhead just to fuck with you.. 220
