So my knowledge of #ultraman is limited to the last few minutes of the episodes I've managed to catch before #monsterdon, and the only character whose name I know is Hayata*, but I can't wrap my brain around how nobody seems to have worked out that he's Ultraman.
* I guess there's also Cap (I assume short for captain). Does that count?
I'm no scientist, but I don't unserstand how germs would either confirm or refute the existence of vampires. It seems pretty non-sequitur to me. #monsterdon
Got an email from a recruiter this morning. I thought it was for a position at a well-established company, and despite the yellow flags I decided to at least look into it.
It's clearly a different company than I thought, with a prominent typo right on their landing page (apparently they're a "worldwid" organization).
Also, they have both 10+ years of experience and were established in 2024? 🤷♂️

When I first learned about CollapseOS four years ago, I thought that it's a very cool concept, but did find the idea "you'll have to implement from scratch everything in your computing stack" very disconnected from the reality. Like, what kind of plausible scenario could there be that one won't be able to get system software for their computer that they could trust to be of safe origin, free from backdoors and malware, and fit for the purpose, I thought.
I keep thinking that the odds of that global supplychain collapse keep ticking up rapidly, but I didn't have "happily embrace slop" on my bingo card, that's for sure.
I thought surely, surely software developers of all people would realize that a brutally inefficient stochastic process was fundamently unfit for purpose but, no. Nooooooo.
about a year ago I was writing in my head a blog post titled "I want retro computing without the retro", about designing stacks around standards minimal enough one person can make an MVP computing environment themselves.
I am now still wanting to write this but with increased urgency and slightly more of the stack needing to be single person 🙁
I guess a question is, what things will be "must haves" for an MVP computing environment? Some people are asking about running SteamOS games on alternative OSes, but such matters are best left out of scope IMO.
@tkchia @mcc @joshg I think the answer will depend on who's asking. A professional music producer who bet their income on knowing ins and outs of a commercial program will have very different ideas about computing from someone who only ever uses computers to talk to friends and enjoy funny videos
@tkchia @joshg in other words this is part of why computing environments of this sort invariably wind up being personal. And this is a problem because I don't know how you serve non coders in such a scenario, unless there are ten or so such systems rolling around serving different groups of people.
@mcc @tkchia @joshg Portability, agreeing on a subset of interfaces, and not developing programs like there is just one target OS.
Now I'm not saying this is easy, or that it'll be possible to agree on a subset of specs and interfaces. But it does sound like the way to go to me, at least on a first sight.
@mcc @tkchia @joshg computers used to boot straight into a BASIC interpreter, and that was ok even for non-developper users. It had a good balance of protecting the machine and data from user errors, while not getting in the way (you can access all memory and execute arbitrary code, but the tystem is in ROM). And it provides an acceptaple learning curve
it's still on the bingo card. And chat control here/and in the EU. And then there's mandatory file scans on Android and iOS with reporting to police, still on the bingo cards.
And then there are Black Mirror like things that are already a reality. Like the marks printers leave on the paper for IDs. And unauthorised edits of images during printing. And camera applications that automatically "enhance" the image with un-disableable AI...
@mcc I’m reminded of John Barnes’ novel _Finity_, in which the protagonists had to fall back to pre-digitisation tools to avoid the way more modern tools would have undesired side-effects. In the novel it was quantum mechanics having this effect, but the analogy of all-pervasive AI having a dangerous level of influence on our perception (or even the possibility) of consensus reality is striking.
I have a compiler project and I'm trying to avoid dependencies to make it easier to port to obscure custom operating systems at some point 😮
it's a shame that VESA, BIOS disk access, and other standards to make it easier to hand-roll your own kernel with minimal drivers seem to have gone out of fashion 😞
@mcc true, but i personally think 3d acceleration is overrated too.
I have WebGL disabled in my browser and I love software renderers! A ton of indie games could run just fine with a pure software renderer if they tried
(I realize others will consider 3d acceleration much more essential and that's fair, I suppose I have a privileged niche opinion)
@ell1e i feel like since last night i've been having a lot of baffling conversations with this comment from linux folks. i cannot stress how much you need 3d acceleration because you need 2d acceleration. do you ever *scroll a window*? then you need 2d acceleration
@ell1e ignore games. literally, don't worry about games for the moment, gamedevs will target whatever platform you put in front of them. software renderers stopped being good enough when screen sizes started being 1920x1080 and above
@mcc I mean it depends. My machines are fast enough that pure software is enough, in my experience even something like a Raspberry Pi 5 is typically fast enough to do snappy software rendered UIs for a Full HD screen. (I don't use 4K because it just draws way more power with little improvement.)
Source: I've tried it, I remove all acceleration from a ton of apps entirely. And I scroll around in windows! I know that some of them didn't have 2D acceleration either because I wrote them.
@ell1e @mcc this doesn't mirror my experience; I have a relatively fast 12th gen i5 that can only do soft render on NetBSD, and it is a tad painful to use for scrolling things in browsers at FullHD, and almost completely unusable for watching videos (dropping the resolution helps, but it's not a reliable solution)
@mcc That's sad to hear! Perhaps I judged wrongly then.
But I wonder, when you say videos, do you mean Youtube?
Youtube is a horrible website that causes a ton of extra draw rather than just the video playback itself. I would personally rather blame that on Youtube than the local software stack.
Some things that can help are 1. disable Youtube's ambient mode, 2. use an aggressive adblocker, 3. use an external client like freetubeapp.io to actually get decent performance.
@ell1e @mcc I think raw maths are against us, though. 1920*1080*32bpp*60fps = 500 megabytes/second or about 4 gigabit per second. This means a big part of the system throughput is spent on moving bytes around
@mcc Software rendering will be a bit of a CPU hog for sure...
What I did experience on the Raspberry Pi 5 with software rendered apps is that they tend to lag a lot faster once I do stuff like e.g. compiling software.
Would be lying if I claimed it bothered me much, though. 👀 Perhaps it is because I grew up with Windows 98? You would see similar effects back then and it was just normal.
I don't WANT to reimplement everything. I just think it's bad to forget how things are done. And we look for permission to do that. As soon as computers get more convenient. It releases those feel-good endorphins that you no longer have to be on edge and actively keeping difficult-to-juggle-knowledge in your immediate working store. And then you get complacent.
@cr1901 at least studying/{,re}learning is indeed one motivation to tinker around OS design and implementation, but it'd help not being metaphorically held at gunpoint by GIGO as a service^W^W^W^WGenAI...
@cr1901 I have a bone deep need to have the *ability* to reimplement everything. I want to know I know how to do it. Nevertheless there are some layers in the stack I didn't actually want to implement.
2025-me was excited about making her own CPU and GPU and her own programming language to write programs that run on them. But I thought I'd be able to write those programs on some other operating system someone else wrote with a text editor someone else wrote.
The idea is still unbelievably disconnected from the reality.
I say as someone who literally has only 3-5 hours of free time outside of work to do with as I will, with a body and a mind that are both so utterly exhausted at the end of each day that I go blurry-eyed and foggy-brained when I look at a single line of code or an electrical component data sheet or any page of API documentation no matter how well-written it may be.
The thought of needing to implementing EVERYTHING instead of just installing a package and being done with it so I can go back to whatever it is I wanted to do that is decidedly Not needing to be elbows deep in the guts of my computer's OS makes me want to just cry.
@dragonarchitect it is indeed majorly depressing. But also, I find it heartwarming that my old systems still run fine. And so do old games, old software and such.
"collapse computing" will likely be adapting to whatever crap used hardware you can get your hands on, and adapting to it. Lol we're close enough to that now to be able to pre-taste it.
@tomjennings When people tell me the future of computing is AI, I want to say the future of computing is de-soldering ARM CPUs off of broken appliances.
I was once among those paranoid folks who believe that one day all software and hardware we can legally use will be backdoored by the government. And we'd have to purchase old hardware from black market to run free software.
Well, it's a different kind of "collapse", but certainly possible 😀
@cismonx Start stockpiling pre-ban hardware now. Same thing gun collectors do when new limits on magazine capacity or "assault" weapons get proposed.
Like guns it takes a very long time for every last pre-ban machine to die of electromigration. Should take longer than the remaining term in office of those voting for the bans
at this point I sometimes spend a few thought-cycles fantasizing about which materials other than UV-etched silicon a CPU-like thing could be made of, both for maybe-someday writing sci-fi reasons but also because I don't have a clean room or a silicon mine at home, and every time I get an urge to finally design my own PCB just for the sake of having done that, I'm reminded of how dependent that kind of thing is on so many huge global supply chains.
I think before I go too far in that direction I'll first try to formalize some algorithms-run-over-human-groups stuff as a thing that can reassure me my skills won't be useless in an apocalypse.
Dusk OS is a 32-bit Forth and big brother to Collapse OS. Its primary purpose is to be maximally useful during the first stage of civilizational collapse, that is, when we can't produce modern computers anymore but that there's still many modern computers around.
huh, I wonder what's practically going on right now
In all seriousness, I used to think it was very disconnected from reality until I saw this post, then looked at Dusk OS, an OS related to CollapseOS.
Ah, four years ago... I thought "people I respect have deep pride in their craft and if there happened to be a parasitic slopmachine, they would never stand for it."
(Well, I only really thought the pride thing. The slopmachine hadn't crossed my mind. Sure, there was some toy from some "Open""AI" company, but there was no way that would go anywhere...)
I find that the vast majority of people, especially USAians, are supremely stupid and lazy. After all, 54% of adult Americans have LESS THAN A 6th grade education. Functionally illiterate.

It's hard to believe this book was written in the '80s. I'm going to have to give it a re-read at some point soon because there were a lot of moving parts and I'm sure I missed stuff that I'll pick up on the second time around. All in all, an enjoyable read.
The first of William Gibson's 'Sprawl' trilogy, Neuromancer is the classic cyberpunk novel.

Welp, Nextcloud went sideways when I tried to upgrade it today. I am however happy to report that I have confirmed that my backup system works.
I'm probably gonna have to figure out how to do a manual upgrade again. I have to do this every few years, but not often enough that I can remember off the top of my head how. I just remember that it's a pain in the ass.
I keep getting ads for "wealth management" services. If whatever algorithm that's serving these up thinks this is a good fit, at least I can tell I've been doing a good job of screwing with the data brokers.
My partner and I seem to be passing the same flu back and forth. I'm presently reclining in a hammock chair (because I can't lay flat wthout coughing up a lung) under a weighted blanket with the humidifier going. I'm starting to perhaps feel human again.
The comedy of my Cyberhole toys using a Terminal, simulating a VT52 more or less, made in HTML & JS, running in a browser, on a "real" GUI, relying on high-speed graphics cards because I'm WAY too lazy to do my own double-buffering, hits me just about every day I play with it.
I keep being amazed by terminals that use fancy UTF characters, colours and whatnot to create graphic features when you could just as well render just any old shape in the same place.
Unless something actually needs to be able to run outside of a desktop environment (which, alright, is needed for a fair number of things), I don't really see the benefit.
I'm still waiting for a proper graphical code/equation editor where comments happen in the margins and can be threaded and contain figures, where I can zoom out to see methods and classes as little boxes with connectors, arranged in a way that makes the relations between them more obvious, and I can rearrange and refactor them by drag & drop.
@Mr. Teatime @muesli I do a surprising amount of computing over an SSH connection with no X11 or Wayland system on my end. If it can't be run through a CLI or TUI, I can't use it.
...technically I can do VNC, but it's a pain in the ass and requires way more bandwidth than it ought to.
@me No objection. I have to use the non-graphical ttys on my machines so often it's a bit embarrassing (RAM full, desktop locked up ...), so yes, I do appreciate a good shell. @fribbledom
Tools makers have been very successful at labeling working code and working tools as "technical debt". As you would expect from people who would be unemployed if not selling us on using new tools to write new code. Really slick scam they have going on there. With the willing participation of people who similarly benefit from calling working technology "technical debt". #technology
@me Only because tool makers make it a real thing. If I am not running Java 37 and Spring Boot 9 I can no longer get security and bug fixes. Instead I have to upgrade to new security flaws and new bugs. As well as introduce new bugs into my program because they changed APIs and renamed a bunch of things. It's a scam to keep people employed.
@Badtux the Snarky Penguin That is definitely a thing, and I'm not going to pretend the modern computing industry isn't a giant clusterfuck, but also, sometimes we just legitimately come up with better ways of doing things.
Things do get messy when money is involved, though.
@me The reality is that 95% of data entry jobs would work just as well with a 25x80 greenscreen terminal backed up by a COBOL application. A huge amount of the "improvements" since that was state of the art are self serving nonsense intended to keep programmers employed and tools providers emitting a constant stream of paid updates (or in the case of free tools, to keep the programmers of those tools employed writing a constant stream of updates).
@me 95% of new programmers would benefit from knowing how to do control-break processing. I clean up after so many youngsters doing ad hoc processing for data we have known how to process efficiently since 1968.
Honestly I much prefer Java to COBOL and the recent enhancements to add more modern language features to Java version 255 are much appreciated. However: Programmer convenience is not the purpose of software engineering. Solving business problems is.
@Badtux the Snarky Penguin I think that programmers could also benefit from learning assembly. That doesn't mean I'm going to use it as my day-to-day language. A good software engineer knows that everything is a trade-off, and it's about picking the tool that best solves the problem at hand.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that the industry is overrun with inexperienced devs who build a ton of slop (even before so-called AI hit the scene) because the companies they work for want to make line go up above all else. That's a capitalism problem more than an engineering problem though.
I know the fedi really hates it, but have you ever actually tried heroin? It's really good actually, and everyone who says otherwise is a hater who doesn't understand nuance. 🥴
Nationality isn't really important to them. Religion isn't really important to them. Culture? It isn't important to these kinds of wealthy and powerful people.
The only other people they can really "see" are those with enough wealth and power (and the will) to have an impact on their lives. Everyone else is essentially invisible, unimportant. Background music, an NPC.
Colorful hats of religion, ethnicity, nationality are like masquerade ball costumes. Useful, fun even, but not important.
There is a secular value in being able to navigate diversity, in having experience with and an understanding of a diversity of cultures. It's popular with academics and some business people because it's a stance that allows you to learn more about the world, which academics like and it can help you make more deals which the business people like. I'm not talking about secular inclusiveness.
I'm talking about the utter indifference of the ultra wealthy to anything but other ultra wealthy people.

This is very true. I've seen it happen to people who marry into that wealth too.
It's the wealth disparity as much the total amount. I see it here in Mexico with the gringos who move here too...although it's aided by a healthy dose of white supremacy.
I think the paranoia that comes with ultra-wealth (people are trying to take advantage of you), and the awkwardness (shame?) of social conversations with people whose problems are completely different than yours, all contribute to it. But that doesn't excuse it. It just means that it's work to keeping it from happening.
What really gets to me is the banality of those circles. Gossip, garden parties, and finance.
Religion serves as justification for hate, punishment. Words have opposite meaning, science means nothing, all to support their evil visions of having it ALL. Regular people…. maybe they pick it up & mimic it to feel like they’re in w the soulless rich that are literally extracting us & everything else to death.
Welcome to Trans Tuesday! This is what it all comes down to, for trans people and the cis folks who actually care about us. Listen up, and show it to every cis person you know who does not get it.
If you do enjoy Harry Potter, know that a hateful old fascist loves that you lay down your morals for the sake of entertainment, she laughs about it over avocado toast and foot massages, at you, all day long, every single day.

@Gwendolyn honestly as a person who used to be a fan when i was young and thought about the content for a bit. Ursula K. Le Guin is 100% spot on in her assessment: "stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited"
There's just better content and her transphobia is proof she's ethically a broken person and i would no longer want to feed my mind from her well.
@missqarnstein @Gwendolyn it's literally not about how good or bad you think the books are, and conflating your opinion of them with how horrid their author is is not good, actually. read the previous essay for more on that
There was no book series I was looking forward to reading to my children more. As my parents did for me. They have not heard a word of it. It ends with me.
@Curioso @vramvoolenaar @🎃 Killy Witches 👻 I was recommended the Discworld series as a better alternative to Harry Potter. Having started to read it, I heartily second that endorsement (unless there's some issue there I'm unaware of).
EDIT: just saw the "even pirated" line. I want to stress I still won't look fondly on it even if I think it's less bad. I'm leaving the original comment for transparency and the hope others catch it if they didn't in your original post.
P.S., some of us won't judge you as harshly if the nostalgia trip is too strong, but you pirate it so the bitch doesn't get a single red cent. Y'all already do that for shit that isn't made by obsessive genital police.
This entry was edited (Tuesday, October 13, 2026, 6:03 PM)
Yeah, I saw what you said about tracking pirated download numbers and it convinced me, so I edited my comment to stress I still think it's a bad move to consume new Harry Potter media anyway.
I do not agree. The Harry Potter series is a masterwork. A true trans person was born with the wrong body, it must be a horrible experience, I feel very sorry for them.
When I see someone with a Harry Potter T-shirt on or something I immediately think of them as anti-trans. But I also see people in Starbucks or Gail's and I immediately think of them as anti-Palestinian racists.
I mean, they *might not* be those things but if they're so oblivious to what's going on in the world and are just ignorant, they might as well be those things. Ignorance is complicity.
@lydiaconwell ignorance is not complicity, not in this society. some people *genuinely* do not know. does mainstream news cover these things? people are overworked and exhausted and worried and stressed all the time. people miss things.
this is why we inform those folks, like my essays on this topic have done. because then they will know. and THEN if they still choose to support, they are complicit.
and people who feign ignorance to cover their bad choices are something else entirely.
oh I checked her work out around 2005…I could see the appeal but it didn’t appeal to me. i think I read one book and maybe saw 2 movies. Meh and Feh…just something innately wrong about it all. Chalked it up to cultural differences between here and there. But still it felt like she was popular due to a Cross Roads Demon Deal.
After the recent reorganization in VPG, I’m leaving my job at Apple. Which means that I’m looking for a new job!
I’m looking for a senior or staff-level software engineering role, particularly where my experience with Swift, Objective-C, UI frameworks, Apple platforms, and large, complex software systems can be useful.
I’m looking for something in the SF Bay Area, something remote or something back in Belgium.
@Void Chicken To be fair, apart from Vincent Price and the old guy, I couldn't tell any of the men apart. It didn't help that they were all wearing the same suit.
Oh, somebody finally noticed the hole. They're oddly nonchalant about it. After all, glass is known for just spontaneously developing circular holes. #monsterdon

if the financial benefits of Amazon's efficiency were shared with their staff maybe they could already have 3 day weeks?
House prices would still be too high. Maybe AI will invent a wealth tax so people with multiple properties will be forced to sell them causing prices to crash. Suddenly there will be enough housing for all and it will be affordable!
it more likely to be that everyone can.onlybdo 3 days a week as part of a workshare where the available jobs left after AI takes all the current ones have to shared around so we can have something to buy food with
4-week and 3-week work, and however many else you may hear about, means something different for billionaires than for the rest of us.
We think, fewer work days but same pay and benefits.
They however want, fewer workdays, less pay, and fewer benefits or even no benefits. Many jurisdictions have minimal work day thresholds in place before the worker has the right to claim certain benefits.
So you can add that to your billionaire bullshit notebook.
Exactly. We've had the technology for a 3 day work week for decades now. But when your job becomes easier, it just makes bosses pile more stuff on you so they can justify "What am I paying you for?"
Bezos is a fucking wanker with the emotional intelligence of a brick and the morals of some one who partied with Jeffrey Epstein. Needs locking up, not quoting.
So I'm working on adding a feature to #NomadNet that allows you to press Alt+r (keybinding not yet fully settled upon) to find the most recently failed message in the current conversation and copy it into the message editor so that it can easily be resent.
I think I've done this, but in order to properly test it, I need to first intentionally cause a message to fail. This is proving more difficult than I anticipated.
The funny thing is that when I attempt to send a message to a destination that I know is offline, it appears to just route through a propagation node even though I've got it set to direct delivery. I don't understand what's going on there. #reticulum #NomadNet
Looks like #gentoo has had a bunch of sponsors pull out. I wonder if this has anything to do with their stance against LLMs. Looks like they're looking for new ones. While I'm not in a position to help out on this, I will at least do what I can to boost the signal. gentoo.org/news/2026/10/07/inf…
Gentoo has had a series of issues, security-wise, management wise, socio-cultural wise (with their "Code of Ethics"), and now this. It seems something like the constant shaking of a wide-gauge screen.
@tom grzybow Honestly, all I know about Gentoo is that they've explicitly banned LLM-generated contributions. Can you elaborate on the issues with the code of ethics (or any of the others)?
I've been working on this feature for over an hour without writing a single line of code. I'm just familiarising myself with this part of the (rather large) codebase. Working with other people's code is fun! #programming #reticulum #NomadNet
@Shannon Prickett Probably has to do with the effect of surrounding themselves with sycophants. They've lost the ability to process criticism because they typically don't ever have to.
@PerryM talk to him if you haven’t he may not even realize what he is doing. I know I used to be horrible about talking over people but with some practice I have gotten better about it and do it a lot less.
@cameron29 Cameron thank you for your concern. 1 of us personally knows the autistic person and has repeatedly talked to him. It is fine for a day or 2 and the behavior returns.
I shared my experience because the person who posted this is autistic and believes that he is not understood and is put upon. I contend, with experience, that his attitude it's a matter of perspective and I know several people who would agree.
I would guess that he is not being treated and is angry!
As far as I can tell, all the dns entries have dropped off the internet.
SDF hosts it's own dns (ns-a though ns-c.sdf.org) and if all those servers go down, and then the ttl expires on upstream servers, it's /all/ gone. It seems that's what has happened.
@jns @SDF.ORG That would explain why the outage is so total, wouldn't it? Oddly, I was still getting an answer over SSH, but with an incorrect key. I guess I had the IP cached?
Yep, if you have the IP cached, you can still connect - and, assuming not all servers are completely down, you should still be able to connect by ssh'ing directly to the old ip addresses.
Oh, it looks like the Mastodon server is still running. @SDF.ORG, is there a reason SSH is yelling at me about a changed host key at arpa.sdf.org? I can't tell if it's a MitM attack, and I obviously can't ask on BBOARD.
I was using my #Kaweko Sport #FountainPen, and noticed that it was making an odd rattling sound. I opened it up to investigate and found that the converter had somehow come detached. Fortunately, the converter doesn't hold a ton of ink, so it wasn't as big a mess to clean up as I would've expected. Besides, are you really a fountain pen user if you don't have ink all over your fingers? I have to say, though, I'm impressed at the capacity of the feed. It had been rattling for some time without any noticeable loss of ink.
I bought that stupid converter even though my best pen friend told me not to. I had the exact same thing happen to me during a client meeting at my law office and I looked like a total dork.
I have since moved on to using a blunt-tip syringe to refill old ink cartridges and my brass sport (as well as my hands) thanks me for it.
@Antonio Giamberardino Yeah, as much as I love fountain pens, when they fail, they tend to do so spectacularly. I keep a small pack of kleenex in the bag I carry my pens in for emergencies.
As boring as they are, I understand why the ballpoint pen eventually replaced fountain pens.
I think people are done with "left" parties that fuck around at the margins instead of solving problems.
Right-wing corruption doesn't bother them because they think everyone in politics is corrupt anyway. And they're mostly right. But that vacuum creates endless opportunities for fascists. Fascists create problems they claim only a fascist can solve.
And people are dumb enough to fall for it over and over again because they're too busy being mad at the establishment.
honestly at this point writing your password down in a notebook or hidden on your desk might be more secure than keeping it online in some fashion. i mean what're the odds of you getting burglarized vs. someone just hacking the system you use
I've got a scrap of paper with a bunch of numbers on it. They're page numbers, and you would have to know which book to look in and have my copy of it so you can see which word is marked on each page.
Bought a new toilet brush from the dollar store. Today I used it for literally the second time and it snapped in half. I don't by any means expect a product from the dollar store to last, but are you kidding me!?
