did you see that cool bug?
my friend: hey do u want this Aritzia skirt? it's too long for me
me: hell yeah!
*time passes*
me: this is probably the greatest skirt i own. i should probably get another
girls, if ur already familiar w/ Artizia, u know how this story goes. these things are like spun gold with how rare they are. Aritzia changes their lineup seasonally so i could not buy another new even if i wanted. plus like they only make a few things that are slip (elastic waistband)
as mentioned earlier, power loss caused a drive failure on an internal ext4 drive of one of my homeservers. what saved my ass was:
* except a factorio server install which is now the SECOND i have lost lmaooooo :blobfoxmeltsob: :blobfoxmeltsob:
had one too many power failures and now my Mac Mini (2014) running Debian is like dead-dead, won't even boot into Linux recovery shell
Fortunately I had the foresight to put the most important data it was hosting onto an external disk, which just barely survived an NTFS fsck from a Windows VM on my laptop. Unfortunately, in this market, I don't think I'm getting another "4 cores 32GB RAM" machine for a reasonable price any time soon... here's hoping the bootloader can still go into another Debian live image, tho atp I'm not sure I want to, internal drive might be actually toast
baffling spam email from a personal(?) gmail account that links to a vibe-coded website, whose only online cross-promotion is copy-pasted reddit posts made by burner accounts on various LLM-adjacent forums.

"oracle cloud turning off all VMs for 20 minutes on May 1st" is a little annoying , but so long as it prevents real outages later im ok with it ig
in honor of the new Dan Olson video i watched https://youtu.be/JTfhYyTuT44 again. teared up at the end as per usual. very very important lessons here
Roku's House of Oddities: while it is a fairly funny gag manga (only been getting better tbh), it's absolutely ending after a short run; i just dont see how they can extend the premise that much without it becoming stale
Drawn to the Fire: Finally, a promising sports manga!!! Its characters are more immediately likeable than Harukaze Mound, and having multiple characters means the romance subplot won't become too much a focus like in Martial Master Asumi or Two on Ice. Seems like it wants to be the next Haikyu or Kuroko's Basketball, wouldn't put it past it but we'll see.
Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz: Replacement for Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits, seemingly. Art is very very detailed but I'm not seeing it last much longer than what it's replacing tbqh.
It is a little unfortunate that cohort two before this one, consisting of Gonron Egg, The Mage Next Door, & the aforementioned HG&DLCIQ, all ended at the same 21 chapters, but that does speak to the strength of the material put out today. The cohort just before this one, Under Doctor, Kinato's Magic, and Alien Headbutt only have a weakness in that last one, I can see the former two going deep. Existing series are all quite strong, the ones that could possibly be close are Someone Hertz, Blue Box, Hima-Ten, Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi, & Shinobi Undercover, but would still take a few chapters to resolve cleanly.
Overall I have continued to be quite pleased with the quality of Jump, looking forward to the future!

almost fell for a tourist trap: i thought there was a photographer doing candids with a large-format camera w/ bellows, but upon closer inspection it was just a digital camera with elaborate cosplay. disappointing!
happily puttering along on my silly project when i unexpectedly bump my head into the NP-complete part of it. whoops
tried to draft a blog post but i used 1000 words to even introduce the problem...
RE: @PolyWolf@social.treehouse.systems
booted into Arch Installer USB, drives showed up + mounted just fine, no issues found besides some missing EFI variables, rebooted into firmware interface and yep sure enough it's back working now. phew!
in some ways this is more scary tho, means it really is my BIOS crapping out, will look to purchase a new computer once I land a new job yep
aw frick aw darn aw shoot aw crapbasket
turn computer on -> decrypt LVM volume successfully -> enter password -> "a i missed a character, guess I'll wait for it to load the prompt again" -> full minute passes -> "huh guess something's wrong, i'll try ctrl+alt+fn trick" -> still nothing -> "power button?" -> regular press doesn't work so i hold it down to try booting again -> UEFI screen -> no boot entries detected -> "UH OH"
boot volume isn't encrypted so very unclear what's failed here. reallllly hope it isn't the drive itself though fortunately I have a very recent backup + git commit so I lost an hour of work at most. still sucks to have to deal with...
designing some (hopefully) high-performance concurrent datastructures. i feel so powerful rn
Apple Music has gone from "bad looking" to "bad at playing music, just in general" for me.
idk what exactly is causing it but, after a couple hours of listening, it starts to stutter real bad, like every 0.5-0.1s bad, which is just unlistenable. It's either that app or MacOS because quit + restart the app fixes the issue.
Too bad their library is so huge...
"300ms clean builds 100ms dirty builds" my ass did NOT comprehend how long fetching things from the internet takes (like 20ms per file), and also how long it takes to save/load 60MB from disk (like 100ms each way on my drive), and also how bad "tokio::sync::Mutex with a bunch of waiters" could be (extremely).
Going fast is not normally a thing I have to think about too hard with #rust but when I want to go this fast, with this much data, from a cold start, I guess I have to ya!
Plenty of architectural improvements left in the tank:
I was naive to think "in n out quick 15 minute build system", but this is fun regardless :3

straight-up admitting they're using scrapers is a bold strategy, Cotton

Thisn's a tricky bugger, no idea how more people haven't run into this (surely my reproduction must be flawed in some way??), at least I have a workaround for now (set branch to master, fetch & build, reset back to main).
