it is quite horrible that social media is one of the worst places for my head to be, but all the good things like drawings of dragons and posts by my dear friends and acquaintances are on here. if everybody could please set up an aggregator that direct messages me every time you make a post, that would be greatly appreciated thanks.

hello, I have been taking a break from 'soshe mead' (what the kids are calling social media), but you can still ring my line at any time on discord if you're curious what I'm up to. i have recently been learning to make electronic noises (kids call this 'synthesis'!) and returning to the bass guitar after a high school long hiatus. at some point, I should finally finish my blog styling and make a post about the games i made for uni this semester.

It guides you through writing a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.

Internet Archive is looking for engineering managers with a rare set of experiences, and we could use your help.

Do you know someone with extensive experience using PHP as a systems language? Someone who has gardened a petabyte-scale system under high load? Is this person a player/coach engineering manager who enjoys helping other people succeed?

If you do know someone like this, or someone close, I would love to talk to them.

as long as we're all talking bout weird tf i wanna give a shout out to the now-delisted roguelike game Beacon, which has the most "okay someone in the writers room was Horny For This" writing i've ever seen

every single upgrade has an extensive bit of writing about what it would feel like to suddenly have that happen to your body

i don't know who decided that all of the 50+ upgrades should have one of these, but goddamn, i salute you
