IRL THREE BODY PROBLEM GUISE
Using data from Kepler and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), scientists have confirmed the existence of KOI-5Ab, an exoplanet that orbits a THREE-STAR SYSTEM. DUDE!!!!

ok this is Extremely Cool. https://m455.casa/posts/2021/connecting-to-twitch-with-weechat.html
i have a half dozen twitch channels i care about who broadcast at random times. so i put their chats in irc, and maybe i will notice when they start doing stuff! i'm excited!
death of family member
what do i say to comfort a dear, kind friend who is grieving the recent loss of their last living parent?
i don't have a good relationship with my parents, i've cauterized any negative feelings about that, and as far as i know mine are both still alive so it's hard to empathize in a genuine way
linux, hardware shuffling adventures
along the way i learned how to build a customized debian "live install" image
made one with the latest 5.10.0 kernel from unstable, non-free firmware so it can do wifi on the macbook, and the rest of the software from testing
wrote that to a usb stick (iso hybrid ftw) and used it to get linux root on external thunderbolt 3 enclosure on macbook14,2 working
astounded by how well the build tools and configuration worked for this purpose
linux, hardware shuffling adventures
victory!! 🎉
i can now
1. yank the m.2 nvme ssd with my root partition out of my desktop box
2. chock it into my external thunderbolt 3 enclosure
3. plug that into my employer-issued mid-2017 macbook pro
4. boot it and
5. pick up right where i left off
love to see the grub2 menu appear right after the apple startup bong
with light, red + green = yellow
green light is about 525nm
yellow light is about 590nm
red light is about 650nm
but adding two waves doesn't average them. sin(650x) + sin(525x) != sin(590x) no matter how you offset them
i know lcd and crt monitors work by using tiny rgb color components
til those colors never actually mix to become "yellow light." the light from a yellow LED is _totally different_ than the "same" yellow light made by "mixing" red and green!
We closed the gap between Stage0 and #GNU Mes: the Full Source Bootstrap is near!
The package graph is now rooted in hex0, a #357-byte binary & ASCII-equivalent https://github.com/oriansj/bootstrap-seeds/blob/master/POSIX/x86/hex0_x86.hex0
Make your distro #bootstrappable!

put up my 2020 personal projects page. Games, a month of music, some creative tools, and a shitload of ceramics. check it out!
@pho4cexa it’s so so so so wonderful

i only chuckled at first, but then it stuck in my brain for nine solid months, and finally i can say for sure:
this right here is for me the definitive toot of 2020

I make software.
AGPL3+ whenever I can.
I love my craft; I hate my industry.
