Ahh I love having coworkers that I can rely on and share work with. This year I'm aiming to grow a team within Hypha to do contract work on local-first stuff so I can be less of a bottleneck and enable even more groups to make cool tech.
emotions, positive
truly thankful for the people in my life that care about me for me and put in the effort to actually get to know me.

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.
"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.
That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.
Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.
I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
Emotions, melancholy
I've been thinking about pre-transition me and what they were up to and the little ways they tried to peak out of their cage. The bursts of color under the performance of normalcy. I think they would be proud of where I am now.
Dreaming of IPv6 broadcast for decentralized application use cases. Feels like it's more likely we could bioengineer pigs to fly 😭

You know how when you rent a VPS or a shared server from a host somewhere, and they're all like, "We'll register your domain name too!" ?
It's a trap! :ackbar:
Don't do it.
If for any reason, your host's admin dashboard stops working and they decide to stop answering support tickets, you're kinda locked out of your domain name.
You can't transfer the domain out to an actually-breathing company without a blessing from your current host. Especially if the domain is locked.
Yes, technically you can complain to ICANN about your domain registrar, and maybe something will come of it (after waiting forever), but the trick is, with those hosting companies, they're usually not actually your domain registrar.
The hosting companies often outsource the domain registration process to another company (sorry, Mario) and often these subcontractors don't provide direct customer support. If you complain to your actual registrar, they'll just boot you back to the absentee host and you're back to where you started, waiting for support responses that will never come. Meanwhile, you're effectively locked out of making any DNS changes.
So, the moral of the story? Register your domain names from actual real domain registrars whose whole business is just domain names.

they either embrace it or hide it
cheers to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes

I'd happy trade in all my software statically bundling vulnerable binaries and bloating disk usage over the hell that is c++ library dependency management.
I'm also gonna add a text editor to it which is literally just a <textarea> with the contents. Then if I want any fancier editing I can open up the devtools and write code for it there.
Longer term it might be cool to integrate language models for auto complete in there
It's super janky so far but here's the code: https://github.com/RangerMauve/shell-cracker
Gonna add "command history" and opening multiple windows.
Also gonna wire up the agregore theme API to it for customization. :P
Sadly I am a munch better coder than this local AI. :/ Unsure of the commercial cloud ones are better than me or close enough to me to be useful.
Gonna make a new shell / terminal emulator that behaves more like graphical text interfaces. Kinda tired of having to rewire my muscle memory between the terminal and GUIs. I want `ctrl+z` to do an undo when I'm typing text instead of whatever arcane shortcut bash uses.
As part of this experiment I will try to rely on a local #LLM called OpenHermes 2.5 Mistral 7B instead of duckduckgo as much as is practical. Though I think I need to tune it with the repos I usually refer to for code.
finally touching my computer after not using it for a week.
going to try to do a little bit of coding for fun before I get back into work mode.
