Current song obsession:
Deceptacon, by Le Tigre
This is something I've heard from time to time and enjoyed but never consciously sought out, then one of my kids had it on my playlist and I pursued it. It is le bombe.
Along with this amazing fan video: http://www.t-23.de/pages/LeTigre.html

tfw when you think you've got an obscure bug in your program that has to do with interplay between multiple components and juuuuust before you go plundering the depths of Documentation of One Thing That is Well Documented and the Lack of Documentation of Another Thing Which Isn't you realize your test code shouldn't expect `\n` to be interpreted as a newline in this particular context.
omg i did it.
https://unix.lgbt is open for registration as a public BETA.
It's a pubnix, a public access computer with servers, social spaces and programming tools to create and have fun together as a community!
So far it offers HTTP, Gemini, IRC, multiple userlands and shells and a BBS protocol.
It is still quite bare-bones and the BBS client and package manager is still a work in progress.
If anyone is working on a pubnix and would like to start a pubnix network (kinda like tildeverse). Let me know I wanna do that too :)

Using x0r.be as a place to leave my dad jokes where they won't disturb friends, family and co-workers. I post about news and politics and issues. I'm open to conversation and learning about other points of view and hope you are too.
