box 64 is just kind of the coolest thing
like, in a fake linux in a fake chroot on a highly restricted ARM environment, it still somehow manages to run x86_64 binaries in a way that tricks them into thinking that the house of cards below it is a good enough environment to just...somehow work!
every level of it is already sorcery, but i can't even believe that what box64 does is even possible on top of all of that
huh, dwarf fortress doesn't actually seem to be as intimidating as i thought it was going to be
i mean, it's still a lot, but i think stellaris might have made it a lot easier for me than the last time i tried..!
also, the whole "press space to pause while you figure out what you want to do" feels pretty at home
literally everything out of frame here is an absolute disaster since i'm still setting things up, but this corner feels pretty cozy already
this is using a cpu emulator, of course, but its cpu usage really isn't too bad for being actual dwarf fortress in box64 inside a proot
in the most recent "getting absolutely wild things working on my phone" news
turns out dwarf fortress does have a text mode!
this is like, the 900th surprisingly useful thing i've found out i can "just use ssh for"
i still just can't get over how extraordinarily useful ssh is. it's an absolute miracle that something like this can even exist
this is cool because it means
- all of my mail is offline after i get it
- i can access it on everything still
huh! i just managed to set up cli email on my phone with basically zero effort
turns out you can just shove TRAMP paths into rmail's config to steal the setup of anything you can SSH to

i also kinda drew this as a bit of an affirmation that it's okay to like things, even when they are weird
i (mostly) don't have problems with this anymore, but i know that it always feels so nice to see the sentiment places, so i hope it can be nice for others as well!
this time i experimented with trying to add detail using an eraser!
it's really cool how selectively removing things really makes things look dynamic--especially since i'm pretty sure i didn't use any lines smaller than 10px, and don't have pressure sensitivity~
me @ my brain when trying to remember all the neat ideas i forgot instantly after sitting down to draw them
(every time i open krita and see tyson tan's splash screen) wow! she's so pretty

I just noticed "foreach" on npm is controlled by a single maintainer.
I also noticed they let their personal email domain expire, so I bought it before someone else did.
I now control "foreach" on NPM, and the 36826 projects that depend on it.
ignoring the book completely, i still just really love the aesthetic that the title "the restaurant at the end of the universe" evokes
the idea is just so excessively liminal in all the best ways, and it makes me want to be there

Reposting this from four days ago to add hashtags:
I'm in communication with a new Mastodonian who is looking for a "Mastodon app that is accessible to the blind" -- I've asked for clarification as to which platform but I think that any information posted might be helpful to *someone*.
for reals, embedding an nrepl in anything that runs on the jvm is extraordinarily underrated, and definitely one of my favorite hobbies i'll probably always take with me
it's just kind of incredible i can just like...take something i already extremely appreciate and introduce it to places that usually wouldn't have it
it's just so ridiculously useful, that i can just introduce it on those terms alone, and that fact it's also my favorite language is just a fun little bonus
