casual reminder that you can just like...download a copy of wikipedia

it's less than 100GB for the entire english site if you exclude videos and fullsized images, or ~50GB for text only

@aoife the one saving grace is that you can just download a copy of stack overflow

but also, that's that's 133gb of information that would really be better if it were sprinkled across the original documentation for the topics it was about

@noiob hee, thank youuu..!

honestly, i could probably literally just ctrl + c ctrl + v something from my tl here and edit it, but still

i might also try to casually write something on my plan 9 pi, since words more readily seem to flow on there too

i can't wait to literally write even a single post on here so i can add it to my bio

it's just a single post right? that should be easy right?

ha haha ha ahahahah oof

as far as domains for abdl sites go, i'm still absolutely gobsmacked i managed to grab https://diape.red

me: i want to normalize people being weird in harmless ways
also me: literally even being perceived is petrifying

my favorite feature of the rust programming language is how you can use it to encounter communities of queer tech witches at will

@bx i love having excuses to use them too! and a journal only needs the ability to write words and save, which makes it kinda perfect for actually using things i'm not very good at

even after using this for a pretty long time, plan 9 is still really strange. but i've also learned a lot!

@m455 awww, i'm glad!

it's no good to feel no good~

i absolutely adore everything they do

why haven't i hoovered literally everything they've made yet

the sheer amount of effort i put into getting things to work with my pebble, and the lengths i go to get weird linuxy things working on my phone, i feel like i'm pretty much exactly the target audience for pine64

hee, i should probably do something with them sometime huh?

i do have a changes.txt file, and a tricks.txt specifically for the nifty little things i find (and do) with the system, but pretty much the entire thing has just become an extremely lo-fi personal writing box

it's weird how it feels even more lo-fi than living in a cli to me (though to me, that will always be a pretty rad aesthetic as well)

i love how neat it feels journalling on a tiny plan 9 pi

it's never been connected to the internet, and i haven't even set the date on it, but i've probably written many thousands of words on it so far

it's super basic, but that's part of the aesthetic for me..!
