time to order up a few hundred rolls of stickers

whose got two thumbs and a reverse proxy through wireguard to the home lab this guy 😎

it actually isn't all that mindblowing or novel, i've encountered two different masto admins who serve their whole multiple users instance just like this

on the other hand my roadblocks to self-hosting are finally clear! cheap vps serving light stuff, but proxying to chonky servers whenever there's heavy lifting

no anxiety-inducing holes poked in my cable modem's firewall

no violating my isp's tos (i think)

growing twin goatee tufts so i can dye them iridescent blue like phidippus audax chelicerae

regex-based irc protocol parser in chicken scheme, using extended scheme regular expression syntax

back before i had a way to obtain hundreds of megabytes of those new-fangled mp3 files i got my electronic music fix from MODs

this one was my favorite, listened to it hundreds of times on loop when i was 15.

whoa https://cohost.org looks rad

"a software company that hates the software industry"

this sounds like my jam
(and probably everybody else here's jam)

just fyi, the first three chapters of my most favorite scifi in the whole freakin universe are available in this $0 sampler e-book

tiny features with big impact ❤️

but i am already losing my mind having to endure waiting another four months for my copy

when i noticed this jewel of a joke i could only picture the author giggling, thoroughly satisfied with her own wit

for readers with stupendous foresight and attention to detail it's another clue to make you feel smart when you correctly predict the reveal

for idiots like me it's a flower that blooms only upon the second (or in my case third) read through
