account wide CW, (reclaimed) homophobic slur 

sometimes a call myself a fag or faggot. sometimes as part of working through my relationship with fisher society, sometimes just because it feels straightforwardly good to self-id that way. I feel weird CWing self-identifiers so this is my account-level warning on this.

re: piracy question 

what the fuck even motivates someone to go to the work of making a high quality release, and then post it to a private tracker.

piracy question 

private trackers go against the entire fucking spirit of piracy i hate them so much. anyone have any advice for reposting private torrents to thepiratebay without getting caught/banned?

the truest friends are the ones who, if they see you dragged away screaming "they're trashing my rights!", will go dig through the trash to find the vital floppy disk you hid in it

go programming question, net/http 

i have a very simple thing i wanna do: make an HTTP request and enforce a timeout from the start of the request to the first bit of response body coming in.

I can't do a timeout for the whole request because the response body is an endless stream, and I don't want to set separate dial, tls handshake, etc. timeouts because that looks like a huge mess and doesn't appear to actually cover all the states between request and the start of response.

I'm sure there's just something i'm not understanding about Contexts that would help a lot

i had a dream that i found a crumpled up beer can where when you hit it it sounds like a hi hat. and there was another one that sounded like a snare

how do people feel about replies to negative posts with just <3s? i wanna show i care even when there's nothing to say, but i understand if it feels empty or low effort. i can adjust responses accordingly

this started out as an earnest attempt at drawing an kobl, i promise

PC hardware request 

a while ago i saw a page about a Mini ITX motherboard that had a right angle PCIe slot on the "north" (like, the opposite edge of the board than usual) side of the board, so that you could slide a GPU into the connector and its fans would face upwards. anyone know what i'm talking about / have a model number / link / anything?

i want a cute dress made out of fabric that's just this tiled infinitely
