Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 14/10/2026maybe it's clearer in the actual filing (or maybe i just missed it in the article idk), but it seems less like they're drowning in debt and more like they cannot afford to keep the lights on to begin with 010 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 14/10/2026admittedly not a bankruptcy expert, but why chapter 11 instead of 7? it sounds like there's genuinely nowhere for them to go after this, and the amount they bring in each month seems pitiful and just. isn't consistent 110 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 30/09/2026oh no ok it just. doesn't reconnect sometimes i guess. cool. cool. 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 30/09/2026i really like that my raspberry pi has been doing this thing lately where it just. doesn't save my wifi password. so i ssh in and update, and then watch as the ssh session dies bc it updated wpasupplicant 101 0

Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 03/08/2026damn has no one really made a RISC-V Pi Zero-like device?? feels like a missed opportunity but maybe not enough people would buy them idk 110 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 19/07/2026perhaps more accurately: what's the process for tearing down a PDS? seems there's something i'm missing :p 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 19/07/2026is there any official way to disconnect a PDS from a relay? i've 410-d the domain, but it seems there's a few services that are still trying to hit it.. 100 0

Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 05/07/2026i think i've gotten the hang of the language at this point though 🙂↕️ just hard not to work in it and go "damn...an Option<T> would be *amazing* here" lol 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 05/07/2026i think the two things i miss most are: - not needing to always manually call `free` - Options / Results these two things alone honestly do *so much* to even *just* code readability, i've been taking them for granted this whole time lol 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 24/06/2026idk, i'll decide what to do with it at some point :p i have too many other things i'm working on, and i think my poor little pi is struggling a little hosting it if i do keep it going i might swap from rsky-pds, don't have much time to go through and try to document stuff :( 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 24/06/2026never specifically requested a crawl, but i assume relays can use the main bsky one to index a PDS somehow..? that's my only guess anyway, there's a hetzner VPS doing the same (which i assume is eurosky or the like) though they might be unsubscribed now bc of the temp 410 i was testing with lol 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 24/06/2026considering tearing down the PDS on my RPi (i haven't been messing with it much lately unforch), and there's an ASN called 't4t labs' that's subscribed apparently?? kind of awesome lol 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 23/06/2026ahh right, that makes more sense lol was gonna say if it was, you're a little insane for that haha pretty cool method though! custom script i assume? 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 22/06/2026i'm curious, is this like. a 13k line script executing commands, or is there some Advanced Wizardry™ to it 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 22/06/2026i'm sure i'll get the hang of it eventually, just not as quickly as i was hoping :P messing around with pointers is just such a foreign concept to me! 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 22/06/2026i think i might've made a grave mistake learning rust before trying to learn C lol 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 14/06/2026admittedly i haven't added any in a while, just bc i've gotten so fucking fed up using it i started using Krita instead :p defo still has its issues, but a hell of a lot better than GIMP imo 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 14/06/2026i keep a list of problems i have with GIMP, and every time i have to open the damn thing i end up adding one to the list 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 08/06/2026it's very deflating :( i personally also struggle to articulate it, bc it seems like *so many* programmers love it. so it always feels very "oh, so the person in the field that *loves* AI wants to talk about how we shouldn't use it in *their* field? how rich!" no matter how irrational that is :/ 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 02/06/2026really neat little dashboard! can defo see it coming in handy with future services (like the payment provider) down the line in particular 🙂↕️ esp handy if the broader ecosystem switched over to account level settings too (like the AI prefs), but gen no clue how much of an effort for that there is so 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/05/2026all things considered I'd actually be perfectly happy running debian, except for the fact that I'm a KDE user, so I'd like to have updated versions of plasma :p 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/05/2026like I'm sorry, but learning the syntax for configuration.nix is kind of the last thing i want to do right now </3 or maybe i need to struggle with arch first to get it idk 200 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/05/2026i really like the idea of nixos, but unfortunately every time i use it i feel like I'm slamming my head into a brick wall 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 22/05/2026there's also some stuff rust does that feels clearly evolved from the 40+ years of C (Result and Option seen like two big ones, alongside some syntactic stuff) methinks rust will remain my favourite (for those reasons and more!), but i think i'll still find enjoyment in C 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 22/05/2026only now started reading through K&R C, and as weird as it feels to say, it's made me understand Rust more. like i've always intellectually understood the importance of the borrow checker and what it does, but something about reading C helps it click 🙂↕️ 120 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 12/05/2026was intending on self hosting my own PDS via rsky-pds for a while, but that project has taken a backseat for now and is probably better served with a testing account anyway so besides, the blacksky team seems cool :) 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 17/04/2026part of it is definitely just a Skill Issue for not having the experience working with embedded stuff but like. damn 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 17/04/2026on the one hand: starting with a pi pico is nice because the docs are super clear and comprehensive on the other hand i suspect i am now completely spoiled by the docs 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 16/04/2026also was a Massive Dumbass and spent like. two days trying to make a generic spinlock function with complex traits and shit, thought it wasn't possible, until the epiphany today that i was consuming `self` instead of `&self` lol. lmao, even 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 16/04/2026figured it out eventually tangled.org/raven.guhcat...tangled.orgraven.guhcat.com/rubiginosusCustom RISC-V firmware thing for the RP2350. 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 03/04/2026not that i find everything else effortless ofc but it does feel like i'm learning *computing*, and not just a protocol or whatever and so feels more generally relevant as a result; not sure how useful it actually ends up being day-to-day, but i'd like to think it'll help in future!! 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 03/04/2026learning for another time i suppose..just need to find the right resources 😞 it's been satisfying, bc i've had to put in what feels like real work to understand it all from a bunch of different places (rp235x_hal examples, embedded rust book, RISC-V ISA docs, etc), but hitting roadblocks still hurts 100 0

Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/03/2026i know this goes against the whole thing that companies try to do, but i genuinely don't think there's shame in not being at the very top. not everything is a zero sum game, and i think them treating it like one (whether intentionally or not) is the fastest way to eradicate the atproto ecosystem 060 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/03/2026possibly naive/uninformed, but as more of an outside observer imo the best thing bluesky pbllc can do is help with the protocol, and outside of that be more of a passive force, not an active one. they don't have to do *nothing*, but trying to be "the biggest and bestest" just hurts everyone, i think 160 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/03/2026i understand these things aren't mutually exclusive, it's hard etc etc but idk. having your "Steward of Protocol" release a tool that a chunk of your users dislike before an arguably critical aspect of the protocol is perplexing to me like maybe finish up the existing walls before adding a ballroom 000 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 31/03/2026yk maybe i'm naive, but releasing an (*at best*) tone-deaf AI feed generator *before* wrapping up on-protocol private data feels like A Fucking Choice, but hey 100 0
Raven @raven.guhcat.com · 20/03/2026i still have. some things that need worked out (s3 storage, handles uh. not working out of the gate bc of cloudflare tunnel cert stuff, etc) but i can see the other side now :) 000 0
