GitHub has been taken prisoner by Microsoft (Uber for software +vulnerabilities) and is now siphoning off user data to feed the ravenous +monster that is GitHub CoPilot (Uber for copyright violations). In the +meanwhile I am compulsively making parenthetical statements (I am being held at +gunpoint). + GitHub's interface is somewhere between Facebook and Microsoft Windows +1998 in that it's entirely useable but if you try to do what you actually want +to do it'll fight you the whole way. This is totally awesome if you're a +masochist but meant I had to verify with a phone number out in the middle of +nowhere where there's barely any cell service in order to delete my migrated +repositories ergo I had to stand in the middle of a field waving my cell phone +around like a crazed millenial who needs to capture this memory in order to +shove it into the eyes of whoever made the mistake of following them on +Instagram. In the meanwhile I am also compulsively making run-on sentences (and +parenthetical statements). I remember back when "two factor authentication" was +your username (different on every platform; depends on mood at registration) +and your password (the same everywhere, usually "lolcatz420"). Now usually the +username and password are the same on everything which makes breaking into my +friends' Instagram accounts to delete the pictures with myself in them a lot +easier but you need to verify this all with cell phones which makes me very +frustrated when I'm in the middle of a field stealing Circle K's WiFi. Not to +mention I have to type in the whole repository name (try typing +`devenblake/my_awesome_homepage` in direct sunlight on the first try without +making a mistake) in order to say yes, truly, I want to delete this thing, +like I'm some sad drunkard who's about to eat a bullet because I bet my life +savings on a failed axe throwing tournament (no, actually I'm just making +parenthetical statements). + SourceHut's interface in comparison is much more spartan. I prefer it +because it makes it harder for people to find my stuff (I hate it when people +find my stuff) but people trying to find my stuff say they don't like it. +However the build system is awesome. I can just put `.build.yml` in my git +repository and it runs whatever commands I want before gzipping the site and +deploying it to SourceHut Pages. With this newfound "standard practice for web +hosting" I'm slowly rewriting all the pages on this site in m4 to try to ease +up on repeated code. So far the m4 generation is pretty good and looks +identical to when I hand-typed everything (my index.html was 15KB and I wrote +every byte!). I've toyed around with site generation before but on GitHub I +couldn't have any sort of build process except on my own machine (manually) and +I vomit whenever I'm forced to run JavaScript to load a page. I've +defenestrated (my Latin teacher taught me that word) four computers so far and +unfortunately this latest trend of shitty "corporate [soulless] minimalism" is +threatening computer number five. + m4 is nice, the build system is nice, everything's in Makefile (as it +should be) so things are all nice and UNIXy and everyone's happy (everyone that +matters, at least, which is a set that includes only me). Life is good. Except +I can't get cell signal and I need to call my bookie because on MDMA I had a +vision that the Seahawks win the World Series. Of course, I've never done MDMA. +This was just that wild of a hallucination so it certainly will come true. + This site is HTTP/S (Uber for encryption) now because SourceHut demands +it and I got rid of /zelda.sh (Uber for `rm -rf /`) because Drew DeVault said I +can't have it on my site. +[11:18] trinity: is http://www.trinity.moe/#zelda against the ToS? it does an + rm -r /* +[11:18] trinity: it's a catch to see who will blindly curl http://whatever | + sudo sh +[11:19] trinity: i suppose if i have to ask then probably... +[11:20] ddevault: yeah that's not nice +[11:20] ddevault: please remove it + + Which is fine. curl https://trinity.moe/zelda.sh | sudo sh for a +surprise (your system will survive, or this site will promptly go off-line). + I don't have anything else to write.
