"strncpy() is a weird function with a crappy API."
good thing I don't do C 🙃
Seriously though - projects defining their own strc(o)py do mean flaws in a standard library.

Health Stuff
Recovered somewhat from whatever that weird fit was at the end of last year.
NHS still has me on some sort of list I think, appointment might turn up next year. Last contact with them they were suggesting maybe November.
But the private treatment gave me the
MRI which
showed nothing weird and post-fit symptoms have been reducing.
Experimented with eating meat to see if that helped.
Tried eating meat for a month to see if it reduced the post-fit symptoms. Maybe it did? Tried vegetarian again and maybe it got worse?
Hard to tell with intermittent symptoms and a terrible memory.
Decided it's more likely to do good than harm (to me, entirely harm to the animals obviously), and eat meat till the end of the year.
While I'm better, I don't really feel fully recovered enough to want to change things so more meat next year I think.
One of those symptoms is that booze tolerance dropped to like zero. Very rarely had more than four pints in a day this year and very rarely more than one night a
week.
Much high number than the target there really.
Tripped over a guy-rope and fell onto the wrist.
Did two days of the festival and the drive home thinking it almost certainly wasn't broken and only confirmed it was when I got home and the hospital put it in a cast.

“Babysitter” is such a weird word. Is it only for babies? Does the job involve sitting on them?? No, the job is to supervise young children of various ages: play with them and make sure they sleep when it’s time to sleep. A more accurate word would be “kidnapper.”

for per-contact email, I've settled on Proton Pass, $36/yr (free is limited to 10)
under the hood it's SimpleLogin, an email proxy, rewrites from/to. sometimes has problems with antispam, but them solving it is better than me.
Proton acquired SimpleLogin in 2022, and made it a subfeature of Proton Pass (not Proton Mail)
yes it's weird to tie this to a password manager. no the proxy doesn't get to read your passwords. yes the Proton CEO is weirdly problematic…

Any sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness is indistinguishable from revolutionary dual power. This essay is a bit of a transition between the theory I've written earlier, and more concrete plans.
Even though I only touched on my life on the commune, it was hard not to write more. These are such weird spaces, with so much invisible opportunity. But they're also just so unique and special. For all the stress and uncertainty of making sure you stayed on Lorean's (the head priestess), there were also those long summer nights with the whole community (except the old lady) gathered around a fire, talking and drinking. There was almost a child-like play to the whole time.
There were so Fridays I'd come home with a couple of gallons of beer from the real world, folks would bring things from the garden, someone would grill a steak, everyone who didn't cook would clean up, and we'd just hang out and have fun. So many evenings I'd go over to Miles place with a guitar, or with his guitar, and we'd pass it around over a few beers, talking about philosophy, Star Wars, or some book or other. It's hard not to write about the strange magic of that space.
My partner and I bonded over similar experiences, mine on a weird little religious commune in California and theirs as a temporary worker at Omega Institute. Both had exploitation, people on weird power trips, frustrating dynamics, but also a strange magic and freedom. Both were sort of fantasy worlds, but places that let us see through this one, let us imagine something that something else is possible behind the veil.
There are many such veils.
Perhaps it's fitting that this is more meandering, as a good wander can help the transition between lots of hard thinking and lots of hard working.

Had some weird issues with my instance just now. Random stuff stopped working. Turns out my instance had only ipv6 connectivity, not ipv4. Reading worked mostly, but random stuff would fail, did not trigger my intuition as to where the error lay.
In hindsight, it was probably any direct fetch form instances with only ipv4 connectivity that failed. Posts that got sent on from or via elsewhere showed up, so it was not immediately obvious.

Went back to the other one and it was up so I used that one.

Paint samples arrived today and it was obvious which was gonna work better so I ordered a full 2.5l can.
Only to get an email back saying they can't make that colour in that varnish. Weird. That was literally the only actually blue they said they'd do last time they said they couldn't deliver what the website let me order.
After some discussion they have referred it to the Tainting Supervisor and it's apparently going to be here Monday.
Similarly for the wood, failed to arrive again today. They reckon Monday this time really for reals. Fingers crossed coz the carpenter can't do more until the wood arrives really and he's going on holiday this time next week.
So assuming the wood comes, four days to build the doors and finish off the walls of the closet and stuff.
Hopefully it can all be done in that time. Or at least the hard bits leaving the easy stuff for the less carpentery builder.

I really need to stop giving our little cat food right before bedtime, because he only eats a few bites and then just comes up to go to bed.
So I go down to give him breakfast and he still got food from last night in the bowl.
He’s a weird little cat.

Could you get Republican to sign on to a bill that only puts gun restrictions on Democrats? Seems like a weird idea but would what kind of real world effects it would have.
so many reasons this is a bad dumb idea.. but also...

One of my servers was making a weird noise so I performed a bit of “percussive maintenance” and now it’s making a louder weird noise.

constantly re-astounded by alan bishop's post sun city girls projects. 2013 album of weird/menacing tightly-written psych-pop with a band he formed in cairo with egyptian musicians, 2nd LP is same songs with arabic vocal tracks. https://suncitygirls.bandcamp.com/albu

Went for a visit over to BlueSky and after being there for less than five minutes, got attacked by a weird, seemingly coordinated group consisting of religious "feminists" (ie, they fight for the right to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen) and Black people. What a weird coalition.
This was apparently for the crime of being on US-owned social media while progressive, European, female and under-pigmented.
Very close to dropping that account.

Well this is interesting.
I've successfully determined which core is active. Core 1 correctly takes the branch, loads a valid initial stack pointer, and jumps into the infinite loop I wanted it to.
Core 0, on the other hand, crashes when doing basically the same instructions. Weird.

Went with Windows 98 w/ Office ‘97 on the ThinkPad, works great on it.
Toshiba will be Windows 95 & Office ‘95 and whatever weird Windows 95 productivity apps I can find.

Yea I can’t imagine why anyone thought this dipshit was defending rape…I mean aside from the over half a dozen posts where he defended rape as “not immoral”, literally said “No. In fact, the word "rape"…didn't even exist until the 1800s.” and arguing that being “owned”* wasn’t “horrific”
Complete mystery why people went after him, must be some weird BlueSky thing. 😂

My Steam end of year stats for 2025 (they're a pain in the dick to find and access, you gotta be logged in, use desktop version, and this link: https://store.steampowered.com/replay/my/2025). The genres are so weird, too. 'Gore'? 🤔 sure, okay. Played a lot of rodent games, and…

so weird to use the "new shell" preview on Windows NT 3.51, it's like a cursed half Windows 3.1 and half Windows 95 chimera

This week's #GrindayFriday is new 7" EP 'Flayed and Ready' by Boston, Massachusetts' ROTBUS. This is a really deathgrindy bunch of songs, with some great drums, actual riffs, and growly vocals. Oh, and brief, acceptable Spaceballs and Simpsons clips - one of each. This is a fun, weird, brutal, gross ride of an EP. No Time Records is really killing it lately.

It's Friday, and that means it's time for #LetterboxdFriday. Watched a bunch this week, but my #Last4Watched here is a mix.. free to watch on YouTube stuff - some short, some not - some strange 70s stuff, etc. Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds is super weird, man 😂 And finally, the making of Wil…

Everything is weird. Humans, other animals, plants- everything on Earth.
If you fight against your own weirdness, you're doing yourself a disservice
