STX 2025-08-22T19:58:28Z http://localhost:1313/ <![CDATA[005D Listskip]]> http://localhost:1313/j/005d-listskip/ 2025-09-23T23:14:40Z did some writing.

“put it in /opt” made some minor adjustments to the site:

  • <pre>, <code> use ‘IBM Plex Mono’
    • box-drawing characters aren’t part of the font, so i will stop using them from now on.
  • <pre> sections have additional side padding to avoid flush text/blending.
  • also has overflow: hidden; to avoid ugly jutting blocks.
    • requires ensuring text fits 40col width.
  • remove unecessarily large margin from bottom of <body>.
  • fix margins for list items (<li>) that contain sub-lists (<ul>, <ol>).

there are some other things i want to add to mem0, but i can’t be bothered right now…

one time when i was a kid a friend gave me a non-functioning dreamcast.

i took it apart to figure out why it didn’t work.

i don’t know how i diagnosed the problem, but the fix only required soldering a wire between two contact pads on one of the circuit boards.

i was super excited that i got it working.

i was so happy i nearly set fire to my bed after i accidentally kicked one of my screwdrivers into the exposed inductor coil.

i haven’t been able to accomplish much lately.

i hope i can find myself again soon.

]]> <![CDATA[005F Extendis]]> http://localhost:1313/j/005f-extendis/ 2025-09-27T21:22:49Z i spent all afternoon looking for something that i think now no longer exists.

a lot of people have been discovering recently that they have DID.

i wonder if, sometimes, people experience the world in a way that is much easier to process.

i know that for some cases the experience can be hidden from other personalities.

but in the cases where the experience is shared among the many parts, could it be that these parts are demarcated as a way to make the thoughts, choices, values, &etc., easier to understand and explain?

]]> <![CDATA[0060 Deletian]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0060-deletian/ 2025-09-29T01:32:12Z re-introduce script to purge old entries.

this time, it doesn’t expire after 30 days.

instead it caps the number at 16.

]]> <![CDATA[0061 Printish]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0061-printish/ 2025-10-01T17:34:48Z added css for print formatting.

defaults to system-set monospace.

one reason is accessibility, another is that firefox (and derivatives) can save the printer output as a pdf.

this requires reorganizing the site a bit (because hugo hates @import???).

code needs “refactoring” again anyway.

i would totally force the printer output to be an 8-bit version of punched tape if the standard actually existed.

]]> <![CDATA[0062 Missings]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0062-missings/ 2025-10-05T14:41:41Z someone using the “aroace” label but having a “lewd alt” kinda feels like false advertising.

i guess it would make sense if they were plural (except they weren’t).

i stalled on a few ideas.

instead i’ve been distracting myself with baking cookies.

]]> <![CDATA[0063 Unscript]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0063-unscript/ 2025-10-06T19:32:17Z about a month ago i switched to ‘zen browser’.

i use the change to try a new approach.

aside from autoamtically clearing history/content, i also decided to disable javascript completely.

i’ve found that the idea of using an “extension” to control the inclusion of javascript in a web page to be kind of ridiculous.

one thing about disabling javascript completely is that so much of the web breaks.

it also means that habitually visiting any social media site is fruitless.

]]> <![CDATA[0064 Protocol]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0064-protocol/ 2025-10-09T15:24:25Z deleted my (irregularly) used bluesky account since it’s run by idiots.

by chance, i came across an interesting ~30yo article.

some excerpts below.

excerpt one excerpt two

such a sentiment is depressing to think about, but it makes sense in the context of the pervasive white nationalism that makes up america’s foundation.

]]> <![CDATA[0065 Distance]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0065-distance/ 2025-10-10T18:46:39Z added “contact” page.

i was going to add a section for links/buttons.

i could use hugo’s “content adapter” to manage the buttons.

one idea i have is to make a list of page+button url pairs, and to have a script to check if the site is up/download the button and populate the content data/resources.

that way i have a separate list that can be manually managed in case any urls need to be removed/updated.

]]> <![CDATA[0066 Asdfjkl;]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0066-asdfjkl/ 2025-10-12T23:14:07Z a part of me is tempted to stop requiring titles for journal entries.

it’s too much work.

added a link to my tilde.club page.

i liked the title so it’s staying.

still haven’t taken the time to learn how to use hugo’s content adapters so no outbound links yet.

]]> <![CDATA[0067]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0067/ 2025-10-14T16:09:07Z removed journal title.

this gave me an excuse to refactor site scripts.

this change will only be applicable moving forward.

still avoiding learning hugo’s content adapters.

i had enough trouble getting MEM0 feed working it’s made me scared to try another new thing.

]]> <![CDATA[0068]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0068/ 2025-10-16T13:57:29Z recent update to openssh on arch broke how it handles PKCS11.

i now need to use the ssh-agent interface.

it’s fixed in upstream, but i don’t think it will be repackaged any time soon.

worked on some CGI and sqlite stuff in C.

i forgot most of the SQL i learned.

sqlite’s C API is interesting, but i feel like it might be difficult to make HTML generating code that is generic enough.

]]> <![CDATA[0069]]> http://localhost:1313/j/0069/ 2025-10-17T23:25:21Z spent far too long trying to figure out basic configurations for rtorrent.

there’s almost no documentation.

decided to stay with transmission-cli.

signed up for a TOPS-20 account.

using TOPS-20 TECO is very different than TECOC.

funny enough, someone mentioned this song in a bulletin board post.

i’m in it for the working BLISS compiler (since freeVMS is broken).

]]> <![CDATA[006A]]> http://localhost:1313/j/006a/ 2025-10-22T22:12:54Z added ^[^[ (<ESC><ESC>) secton.

it has links to places that aren’t here.

apparently i didn’t need hugo’s ‘content adapters’, i just needed to build some horribly designed ‘shortcodes’ with some additional templates.

it seems really fragile.

i’ve been trying out baking bread.

it’s difficult.

the apartment where i live is humid but cold, so proofing takes a long time.

i need to use water that’s more hot for the autolyse process so that it’s still warm when adding yeast.

i also need to mix faster for the autolyse.

i think what’s really fun is when the dough has really high exensibility, the bread puffs up a whole bunch when you bake it and it has a bunch of big swirly bubbles inside.

]]> <![CDATA[006B]]> http://localhost:1313/j/006b/ 2025-10-31T22:01:44Z updated CSS.

links have ‘+’ superscript visual cue.

i will probably change <hr> to an asterism dinkus.

i spent all week dividing my time between baking and programming.

i experimented a lot with bread making.

i’m trying to develop a more intuitive sense of the process (hydration, proofing, etc.).

i nearly finished my CGI program.

it’s all in C.

i made weird architecture choices when it comes to interfacing with sqlite.

tilde.club has cgit, so now i have another tilde-based git that i’ll forget.

]]> <![CDATA[006C]]> http://localhost:1313/j/006c/ 2025-11-22T12:46:54Z hit a wall with programming.

unicode haunts me.

slight updates:

  • remove link indicator (i don’t think it was working)
  • remove usage of the term ‘person’/‘people’ (outside of mem0)
  • remove some mem0 entries
