idk how to feel about how fast my computers are. i've spent so much time working on fantasy/retro computers where memory is tight and i need to do things efficiently. But the $12/mo VPS has a Ryzen Whatever with 4GB of DDR5 and NVMe now ...

REMINDER: looking for something? make sure to check The Woods. it's always a good time to go out into The Woods to look for things. for example! blackberries :3c

my mom & family was frantically searching for her dog Sadie & screaming her name & running over the whole property. "she always comes when i call" i went out into the driveway, barked twice, and sadie immediately barked back and came running from a bush by the street humans dont get it. HEHEHEHE

i love seeing so many queer creators out there. thinking about hollow knight right now but also just in general. it's so swag !!

riding the amtrak cascades back to vancouver after visiting iris & my friends. and i got a business class ticket this time. AND ITS SO COOL the train guy found me specifically and was like "Lua? is that how you say it? lovely to see u!" and ive got a fancy seat and a free fancy drink :D

@lua.pet i'm sorry i know you want me to be trans but it just feels too good to be the boy invited to the t-girl crib for the sole purpose of moving steel rims and rack servers into the bed of a pickup truck because he has big muscles.

just got trolled by the WD_BLACK SN7100 controller. who i trusted as the Primary Drive for the Root Filesystem. he's only been in service for a little over a year. Why did he do this to me !!!! all fixed after some love, care, and a reboot. but still. lame!

Screenshot of a bunch of over-temperature warnings for the NVMe drive.Screenshot of an email letting me know that my RAID array failed due to the NVMe drive.Screenshot of the systemd journal showing the failure in action, followed by smartctl giving an I/O error.Screenshot of a successful smartctl self test & RAID array rebuilding after a reboot.

i wrote a React website these last few days and it was such an interesting experience. i usually use Vue/Svelte or my own reactive UI library that i made, and react's paradigms are so different !! and kind of annoying !! but it was fun :3c
