We need more people with bad internet. Im talking bird shit on the satellite dish type networking. We dialing in on a chewed up phone line. Call it espionage the way im dropping these packets. Baud rate tied to my hearts BPM. Im starting a small business on McDonalds Free Wi-Fi. I dont send JSON, I give my buddy Jason a call and he gets it where its going. Im moving different. Lag so bad the opps think Im teleporting. My downloads arrive on a UPS delivery schedule. Got a router running off three triple-A batteries. We rigged up wifi with walkie talkies.

@larsm Is there a rule book or instruction manual somewhere? A bunch of us are very confused ^^

I love this anecdote. It's thought-provoking and evocative. Full text of story is in the alt-text.

@aluminumneedles

I'm knitting in the corner at a party
and guys my age stop by to tell me I remind them of their aunt, of their grandmother. This is a compliment and I take it as such. They confess to having tried crochet once, and I smile. They get back in line for the bathroom.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and a queer woman sits on the floor next to me, arranges her skirt, and smiles up at me. (I try not to blush.) She asks me all the questions on her mind about my craft and I answer them, hands still moving. We swap yarn sources. She doesn't stay, but she knows where to find me.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and everyone knows where to find me when they need a minute, when socializing is too much and the music is too loud and they need to catch their breath. They pretend to be checking in on me, which is sweet, but I can see the relief in their eyes the moment they stop performing for a house full of people. They sit down and tell me things and all the while they never take their eyes off my hands.

The party has wound down and I'm still knitting and the hosts, two guys in their twenties, thank me for "helping to curate the vibe." I had no idea that's what I was doing. I leave the party having forgotten to drink anything and without that woman's number but with many rows added to my top-down raglan sweater. I call it a night, and a good one.

@sad_electronics That's really nice! This is the design i made for the annual soldering workshop i host every christmas, but i might steal some of your ideas for next year if that's okay? :D

3D CAD rendering of an electronics-based christmas tree made from 2 PCBs slotted into each other to give it 3-dimensionality. There's a 3D printed star on top.

@LateNightLinux Void Linux. Or Solus. Both have been very simple, clean and dependable for me, while still giving me up to date software and everything else I need

@mcc Ah yes, FlexLM. I have a couple of those running. Absolutely cursed pieces of software ^^

crystal mysticism, except it’s all just obfuscated descriptions of semiconductor lattices and their behaviors

“When this Low-Oxygen Quartz becomes infused with natural metals, it begins to channel the positive and negative energies of the universe. When brought together, they reach a state of balance that naturally blocks the flow of certain energies, allowing us focus and direct those natural energies, and empower ourselves.”

@cyborg42 Mein Beileid. Ich hoffe du wirfst dir das nicht zu sehr vor. Das passiert selbst den besten. <3

@chartgerink

Me and 2 friends have intel-based 13inch ones here in Berlin. Often around TU Berlin and Humboldthain, DM me if that works for you :)

Oh how we laughed and laughed
Except.. I wasn't laughing

@Techaltar With PayPal or GiroPay or SEPA transfer I can authorize a specific (or periodic) transaction. Meanwhile, anyone with my card info (scummy platforms/leaked data/hacked databases/aquisitions) can just retrieve arbitrary sums from it whenever they want, with the only recourse being chargebacks.
