I'm going to take another break from bsky for a while, might occasionally be active on mastodon.

After 20 days of my mastodon instance being subtly unable to federate, I was able to fix it with a single env change and a %s/=404/@proxy/g in my nginx config
Please just let my pain be over.
I think I have finally fixed the mastodon streaming container and it should hopefully fully work now.
It is done. Follow my mastodon account for exclusive "quality" posts and whatever else I decide to do with it.

I think my mastodon instance may be fucked.
who new changing the LOCAL_DOMAIN variable might break things.

still works fine on anything I was already logged in to for some reason (even posting works and appears across logged in devices?), will look into further

I love putting things down in a different spot than usual, forgetting where I put them, and then having to spend 10 minutes looking for them. With the frequency that I do it it must be my favourite pastime.

Hex casting is such an interesting minecraft mod.
Want to cast fireball? Best I can do is summon an explosion at a set of coordinates.
Want to load a spell from a lookup table and cast it remotely using a shared media pool? The first part is quite simple, still unsure about the shared media pool bit

Well either the placebo effect is magic or this is magic, because I really can just think "i should go do this thing" and then I actually go do it almost immediately.

Will still need to test more tho.
Controlled substance time.

Yes I desperately need a new CPU cooler.

I was compiling vulkan shaders for about 5 minutes and saw these temps

I was paying BG3 and I got to the point where Raphael teleports me away somewhere and offers to help. Just as he was finishing is speech about me exhausting my hope and started sending me back, my screen flashed white, then black, then my system powered off.

Well I've done half of it
You can see my incredible mastodon posts at mas.st.org.nz/public/local

I'll set up federation & fix the expired certs later it's 1am.

I'm so confused, I just can't see my follower list at all anymore.
Bluesky is truly the most well made social media platform.

It is "done".
I'll fix the font issues tomorrow

Wtf. Why does changing the contrast setting change the position of the status bar icons?

I'm so mad. I installed Debian on an old NUC I got recently, but no matter what I do I always get 'Not authorized to control networking' unless using sudo. I'm in the sudo and netdev groups and have tried setting up polkit rules but nothing has worked.
This has never happened to me before.

Perfectly aligned.
All of them are like this apart from the clear all button

I love downloading a 20GB file at 140kbps. It's so fun when I accidentally shut my laptop and forget to restart the download after.

It's been 3 days

There are so many fun & interesting programming projects I want to do/am currently in the progress of making but I can't focus on any of them long enough to actually get anything meaningful done before being distracted by something else :(

There is only 1 good reason for cameras & photo syncing to exist: to fill as many servers & devices as possible with cat photos

I was setting up a villager trading hall in my hardcore world, but because I have the rebalance enabled I need to get villagers from other biomes for certain enchantments. I decided that I would need leads to transport villagers in boats easier, so I started building a slime farm. Partway through-

I was writing tests for the lexer I wrote at 1am and wow there were an embarrassingly large number of off-by-one errors.
