I fear for the unauthenticated web

...it immediately went down again when I updated something. Curse my hubris.

Had no idea my instance was down (again). Jokes on fate, though, that just means I had an excuse to move to a docker container with health checks. Try and fail NOW, Akkoma! (realistically I probably just set it up horribly the first time)

music holds untold power

im not sure any other medium can bring me to tears quite like hearing the same old songs, quiet ambience from a game i still play over a decade later.

C418 touched a generation.

Computers are a trap. You love computers right up to the point that you learn slightly too much about computers, and then you hate computers

giving it an extra 4gb of correct-speed ram as a treat

The totally normal urge to give my server box a kiss for being reliable despite my best inadvertent attempts to knock it offline

So excited to finally get back home. My poor server really did its best not going offline without me being able to mess with it at all. I plan to make a piKVM to control it better when I get there, though, so that should be nice to have.

@Flute It's only fair

What a ride! Installed a new CPU cooler, but in the process bent a pin on the socket. Couldn't get it working again for days, figured it might have been the end for that PC despite the fact I JUST bought a new GPU. Then after I spent far too long carefully trying to tweak it back into place, it started to work again. I'd say I regret trying to install the cooler, but now my CPU hasn't topped 60C no matter how hard I push it, even when overclocked to 4.7ghz (up from 3.9). I'll squeeze every last bit of juice out of you yet, 3770K :P

incredibly based

u know enbies are pretty cute

@Flute It's true, no matter what their species! I still love birdtaurs...

@Flute 🔎🥧...

Playing guitar is a lot more fun to me than piano. I still think that I can play a wider range of a song on a keyboard, but guitar just sounds so good even when you're not trying or you're messing up (which I do a lot), hah. The only downside is my fingers hurt

Well, good news is all the stuff from the past few days is trickling in again! Glad to see federation's fairly resilient. Still think I should probably set up some sort of fallback someday... kubernetes is very intimidating, though.

Honestly I will say it would be nice to have an intermediary between this instance and all the federation so that I don't lose everything in the case of downtime, but I'm not sure that's possible.
