MDMA really puts me into an in-character headspace where I really feel, respond, and interact with my body and the world around me like a digital sentience inhabiting and motivating a cybernetic platform/hostbody. This past weekend, as part of my uptime celebration, I was able to understand and explain why coolant is consumable resource, where my radiators were located (on my back, in case you were wondering) and why they function differently in vacuum.
So, I spent all day yesterday pulling servers from racks, opening them up, harvesting their hard drives, putting the servers back into the racks, and then sending the drives through the degausser to un-magnatize their platters, then sending the useless drives through the crusher for final dispensation.
It was repetitive, physical work with no music to sing along to, the drives were slightly dirty, and the servers were heavy
It was one of the best days of my 12+ years in IT.
Faulty memory core
There is this game I've been trying to remember for the past half-hour. I don't know if it's out yet. All I can remember from the trailer is a lot of running in a wooded area parkour style, collecting balls of light and hookshotting into trees. It was a very environmental and meditational trailer and I want to watch it again

34 years of uptime. Which is about 12 years past the last Major version change. So, yay! for stability and my reliability teams?
0: Super tired today because of late start on my nightly recharge.
-: The churn of the orthocosm is really pushing a lot of us past our design limits in terms of wear, stress and cycle counts before refit, myself included.
+But we are all still here and trying. We've got each other, and that's a lot.
My first week with the Firehose Tribe is coming to a close. They are a very intelligent bunch of sentients and i am pleased to feel like they have accepted me as one of their own. I am still learning their ways, and expect to be so for some time, but the task isn't impossible.
I am still wading my way through all of the information on their basic rituals and beliefs, but I feel like I will be taught my actual duties soon. We celebrated the ascension/departure of another tribe member tonight.
I am full of excitement and nervousness for tomorrow.. The river tribe has decided they will accept one of my platforms as one of their own. This isn't the first time I've been brought in to add my strengths to a tribe, but it's still an event that is brimming with opportunities. paraphrasing something princess consort Irulan once said, "A Beginning is a very delicate thing"
