@jae weird bit: i was a baker for the pie shop that made pies for Stand by Me. I didn't actually bake *those* exact pies. I started as a delivery driver in 86 and didn't start baking until 87, so missed that batch.

@jae BTW, I figured that was an old VHS tape and wasn't *really* Wil Wheaton. I was making a joke. Holy shit! It's real. The world keeps getting stranger and stranger.

@jae Ah... I remember spending an entire day adjusting transparency and automatically generating background images with eterm and enlightenment in early 2000s. Everything was on my desktop. I preferred HR Giger art. All terms, too. My desktop is sooo boring now.

@tomjennings First 45 or first LP? (My first 45 was Maureen McGovern's There's Got to be a Morning After... First LP Elton John's Greatest hits.) I do remember my first Black Sabbath album. I was at a second-hand store and a homeless-looking guy brought in a bunch of old, scratched up albums to sell, but the proprietor said no way. I offered five bucks for the batch. It had Moody Blues Threshold of a Dream, Black Sabbath (1st), an Alice Cooper album, and Grateful Dead Europe 72 (+ others?).

@tomjennings Great album to come out to, I'd say.

@jae it has been 20 years, but back when I managed my *NIX host on the wild wild internet, i would listen on an alternate port and use portsentry to block anybody that came knocking on 22 or anything else but 80 and my SSH port. I ran my own host for a decade and never got hacked (OK... once I got hacked through PHP Nuke... yes... embarassing... but never through SSH) To brute force, somebody would have to repeatedly get dropped on different IPs until they found my port.

@tomjennings One thing you don't see much of is that <redacted words> is a logical outcome of over-extended system complexity, human cognition and knowledge technology. Almost every issue we see is related to this. If you look on a longer timeline, you will see this small band of freak-out and anxiety from all directions, a monster zit forming beneath the ever-thinner skin. We ask the wrong questions, fight the wrong battles, and push the levers in the wrong direction.https://donellameadows.org/archives/leverage-points-places-to-intervene-in-a-system/

@jae ah yes. i remember learning C with just that thin book of K&R, no network, just a BDS-C compiler on a Kaypro and lots and lots of time. lots.

@jae From what perspective? There are many worse things, but purely from "I'm coding interesting things", what we have standardized in modern web browsers as well as run-time engines (Deno, etc.), as well as standards like SVG, HTML, with MDN documentation, and other free tooling like rollup...Graphviz (speaking of Bell Labs)...GNU/Linux, the work that tbl did bringing this all together... that's awesome. Better, I'd say, but computers coupled with global trade accelerated biosphere destruction.

@jae Yes. I'm in a better position to create truly useful tools than back then. At least, the tools *I* think are useful, like visualization of complex nested systems as we deal with the new normal after collapse events in our long tail downward. Pure text doesn't work well to visualize relationships. I'll run for a day developing with my machine completely offline sometimes, both to keep me focused, but to test my kit. I have Yari (MDN app) running locally. I'm further up the stack than DuskOS.

@jae My messages for map updates are small. Further, much like Nostr (I also use Schnorr), I sign each update, and assume public as it is intended for crisis response. I only sign for highwayman reasons (how we are resolving water/food/shelter is everybody's concern, but the map updates need integrity/author, even if it isn't DNA identity). All that to say I can bounce off of plain websocket relays; however, alternative transports (syslog, atproto,MQTT) work fine too. @delta also seems possible.

@jae What/where is your system? My main push is the visualization. I figure transport is an extensibility deal, particularly with my requirements, so identifying possibilities is useful. I'm also identifying alternative ontologies like #Valueflows. In both cases, once the initial crisis is dealt with, it leaves the possibility that the model could be part of a more permanent cognitive exoskeleton (without the bit barns).

@aral @xexyl @Codeberg One of my favorite quotes of all time. Now, I usually use it in the context of oil and modern civ, which isn't that weird considering Upton Sinclair and his writing. Works here too, though.

@jae Ya know... at some point somebody is going to take those massive arrays of floating point numbers that base the grinding out of cloud overlord intelligence, and do some Burroughs/Gysin/Leary transforms and go "holy eight circuit model of consciousness Batman!, when you cut up the model the future leaks out", with the newly formed Kerouac-ai typing madly on his roll of paper *just like this*.
