jes!

i wrote a little bit about minneapolis today: https://abyss.fish/all_eyes_on_minneapolis

cw: graphic images, upsetting themes

there's frozen snow on the ground,
it's below zero,
and there are three thousand federal agents
in masks, abducting men, women, children

citizens.

attached is a video of roosevelt high school,
where children were gassed and tackled
and three teachers were arrested,
and an american flag struggles to flap

ice needs to leave our city.

any tips for building hope during times like these?

for those who don't know me well, i'm a minneapolis resident

today, ice murdered renee nicole good, 37, mother -- for no reason, in broad daylight

i went to the vigil. i couldn't stop staring at cameras.

they are killing people in broad daylight. and they are lying about it.

we are walking a tightrope over an abyss.

what makes a hackerspace distinct from a makerspace?

i think hackerspaces have more grassroots & counterculture -- zines, stickers, etc are embedded.

makerspaces are more centered around the craft - you come to produce something while you're there

curious how others feel

i have no swap but i must page

i login as root.

i have no swap.

i hard power off my laptop nightly. the filesystem always recovers.

my organization strategy is `mv * ~/Archive/2025`

i try to refuse clutter, in my computing & in my life.

like the feeling of a fresh operating system.

sometimes you do need a clean slate.

did anyone else see the aurora the other night?

silksong is literally a masterpiece

wow, seattle is such a lovely city. i'm honestly feeling a little taken by it!! kindred spirit

it was so nice to see you @hylst@merveilles.town!

i'll be in Seattle for a week in early November :3 anyone wanna hang out?

@jarm@qdon.space good old days had their problems too

@chizeck@pdx.social

@flbr@merveilles.town this should work on a page crash/reload situation as well! firefox has a bunch of memory and your string of words is probably still in that abyss somewhere, waiting to be written over. but for example when i type a big long answer and hit submit, and the website says my session has timed out, and hitting back only gets me to a "login" page instead of the page w/ my text on it ;..;

@wikicliff@fosstodon.org 😭😭😭 omg same

@while1malloc0@hachyderm.io ive been saying this

@adamshostack@infosec.exchange an oversight - if you own the firefox proc you should be able to leave sudo out.

@ellenor2000@mastodon.top if u think this is scary u should see the weird wooden creature i encountered by lake michigan

FYI, when a website erases your text that you just spent an hour writing, you can use this little trick to recover it 99% of the time:

1. find the firefox pid

$ pgrep -l firefox

2. attach gdb to firefox and dump its core

$ sudo gdb
gcore firefox.dump

quit

3. find your lost text in the coredump

$ strings firefox.dump | grep "a unique word/sentence from ur text"

i just did this today to recover a long post i wrote, and figured i'd show others!! :uxn:
