RoadRiverRail @roadriverrail@signs.codes

So, I've decided to give #bulletjournal a try. Thankfully, I am comfortable with my ugly handwriting and poor artistic skills so I won't fall in the trap of trying to make it pretty. Hopefully this will give me some control back in my life, though.

@epilanthanomai I think I'm getting possible follower spam from mstdn.jp but I'm on a road trip and can't investigate. Do you have a few minutes to help?

Me reading the #Rust book... "Oh my word! THEY FIXED THAT, TOO!"

Hey #signsandcodes! I'd like to give a quick introduction to @tangent, a new member of the instance. He's a dear friend and colleague of mine with a passion for an open, private, and decentralized Internet. I'm sure he'll be a great add to the instance.

After 5 years of waiting or not making time for it, I'm learning Rust.

While I'm sharing this everywhere...

Please, folks, don't hesitate to tell someone what they mean to you. Don't wait to thank someone's kindness. There is no good reason to wait, and you never know when they'll be gone. Life's precious. Live the hell out of it.

@darius I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier, but IBM's heavy use of basic non-relational record-oriented data storage must have been a huge historical nod to tape storage. "Find this record set and then I'll iterate it for the data I want" is totally a natural metaphor if you use a sequential storage system.

I really lack for any kind of aesthetic role model that speaks to my non-binary-but-athletic AMAB self. #nonbinary

#signsandcodes had a brief outage this afternoon when our AWS EC2 instance became "unreachable". I don't know why, but we were able to reboot it and bring us back online.

If you have a problem with your source code management, and you decide to solve it with git submodules, you now have six problems.

@epilanthanomai I think it might be fun for us to skin #signsandcodes but don't really know where we'd get started. You got any designer friends who'd like to give us a quote?
