Been away for a while, guess it's time for a new #introductions post!

Hi, I'm Gaeel, I live in the north of France with my boyfriend and two cats. I wrestle every day with my ADHD brain, making it write code for a living.
These days I play a bunch of TTRPGs, GMing and playing Lancer, and also playing D&D5E.

I like sci-fi, people, and food.
I like music that goes hard.
I like music that chills me out.
I like finding new things to nerd out about.
I like Formula One.

I'm using microblog.pub for this little fediverse home. If you're looking for a tiny, lightweight, single-user fediverse thing that's only a little bit unstable, I highly recommend it.

Come say hi!

mi toki kin toki pona, o kama toki tawa mi, a!

asking because i ordered a fixie gear for my bike and considering reinstalling arch linux on an old laptop soon, and somehow these feel like the same thing

"oh yeah, you just have so much more control and it's all so direct and immediate, sure you can screw up pretty bad if you're inexperienced, but once you get used to it, you'll be hooked and you'll never want to go back"

are fixies the arch linux of the bike world?

got a little Minecraft server for my fiancé and my friends
if we're mutuals here and you want to come hang out on our chill planet, let me know

planet.spaceshipsin.space

My current terminal setup

Grab it here on my gist

@lohang@mastodon.social @liaizon@social.wake.st Okay yeah, my instance is completely busted then

There was a fire at my datacenter in March, I had to restore from backups, and it looks like either I don't know what I'm doing, or there's something that doesn't work...

I didn't get the follow request, and it looks like people can't see my public posts unless they're tagged (that, or none of my followers care what I post, which... fair...)

That's annoying...

@liaizon@social.wake.st @lohang@mastodon.social I like that it's super lightweight and easy to set up, but it's fairly janky

For instance occasionally there will be a post on my feed that causes microblogpub to just break with an error 500, and then I have to wait until enough people post for it to pass to the next page before I can use it again

It's also ugly by default and I haven't gotten round to customising it yet That nikisoft fork shows that it's possible to make it look nice though!

The paradox of programming: feeling good every time you realize you're an idiot.

doing important work

“"Crypto art" is literally just "numbered prints, but each time I sign my name I also promise to burn down a local park."”

i got a couple new modules
the hertz donut here is a lot of fun and makes lovely, crunchy sound

i love the "faked" resonance effect, there's no filter, it just adds overtones to the signal and calls it a day, lol

How to learn a programming language you don't like but you need for a job

1) learn how it works on "learn x in y minutes"

2) learn how it doesn't work on "YourLanguageSucks"

3) be sure no one of those "this code isn't idiomatic" folks is watching

kastle's little sibling: the kastle drum!

they sync together in a nice way, and they go well with some of the softer sounds that plaits makes

Here we go, after 1.5 years and a pile of c++ code later I'm pleased to announced my basilisk story is FINISHED!
