this ace was disgusting I should not have won this

I am still ass at counterstrike

ITS WORKING

Literally a one-line change Commit message: imagine forgetting to add the special group to the user so it can do dma because you added the udev rule to allow users of that group to do dma but if the group is not there then it obviously can't do dma and that is why you keep getting that stupid error saying the buffer can't be opened because of course opening the camera buffer relies on dma you IMBECILE

the absolute state of debugging my nixos config to get a raspi camera working

this took me 3 weeks to realize I missed ONE LINE

hmmm I wonder why this nix rebuild is taking so long on my raspi?

> building an entire browser engine, it has been 8 full hours on just that package
> maxed out swap space
> still running somehow

very cool that I’m adjusting myself while going to sleep and I see an ominous red glow from my apple watch

bad picture but the vibe is there

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

this took way longer than it should have

but i think I got a full klipper printer with nixos now

commit messages need more whimsy and fun

do not drive in maryland, half the drivers there cut you off without turn signals and it pisses me off

we are getting mandela effected into thinking invisible was actually a part of the mgsv soundtrack lmao

This will be the last post on ref_cycling for a potentially long time as I've been experimenting with NixOS and 3D printer firmware, which has been entrenching and one of the reasons this took longer than it should have. But I'm excited to share this post and a sneak-peek at what I'm doing next!

Finally finished my latest post on ref_cycling!

A much shorter post compared to previous entries about the migration from #Nextjs to @11ty.dev, and why understanding website rendering paradigms is important.

thank god I had a flipper zero to find the swd pins I need for unscrewing the klipper firmware I tried to upload

trying to setup my new 3d printserver raspi and Nix takes up so much memory I had to give it swap space manually just to do the rebuild on device and not build an image again.

Why not do the latter, secrets management on a new NixOS system is not fun I’ve learned…

currently resisting the urge to buy a used oscilloscope from ebay that I will probably not use that often but will be very cool to have.

good night everyone

On the bright side, I'm actually pushing my computer to the limit which I haven't been able to do naturally (i.e. not 3DMark).

This is why people don't like building from source I guess?

20GB for building a 2GB or so NixOS image is crazy

I posted this, then realized the Emmys were tonight, and it just won outstanding comedy series.

Not always a fan of Rogen’s work but well deserved!

Seth Rogen’s The Studio is a really interesting watch with it’s longer uninterrupted cuts. It feels somehow more at home with Rogen’s personality and the writing simulates the inability to look away from a trainwreck as it happens.

I get why it has so many nominations now.

As much as I despise Charlie Kirk, I do not condone his assassination. Political violence is abhorrent and should not have a place in the US.

I send my condolonces, not out of respect, but out of moral obligation, as I hope others will.

263 tabs

Half of the problem is I keep opening new tabs, but I'm too scared to close anything because it might be a link I lose.

Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"

Learning #NixOS and I think I have like 100+ browser tabs trying to debug all the nixexprs I’m writing.

This is after getting a basic system setup with the help of like 20 different examples.

These docs are borderline Microsoft-level except they provide like zero context.

You can still do the funny "wait two weeks to let The End die from old age" in the Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake lmao

#MGSDelta

The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight.

Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?

The more you know. Thanks for the tip!
